on my nexus 4, there is a gmail looking icon at the top right when i am browsing the images and when i click on it, it opens up an email with the image already embedded and allows me to type the address. i think this is quite easy with minimal hassle.
actually licensing a modem is not the solution even if you could do it. the problem is getting the ip ported to your process. most existing ip is designed and verified for the tsmc, umc, charted etc. these foundries have an extensive end-user library generation, shuttle and assembly/testing support. if intel wants anyone to port their ip to its fabs, it has to support all of these. i think they have learned a great deal through their achronix, altera, tabula partners but i am still not sure whether they are ready for the smaller ip vendors who don't make their own chips. buying the ip (vendor) and getting it to work on your process is probably the better way to go and this they did. they bought quite a bit of modem companies but still converting parts of it to your fab and producing the rf at another fab is difficult.
one reason intel has an overwhelming process for their cpus is that the process is optimized for the chip and the chip is optimized for the process. this is not a good recipe for off-the-shelf ip.
again i thought the topic was intel vs rockchip parts. you guys can't seem to let amd go. what is this obsession with amd still? any minute now, phud will say intel has never been found guilty in a court of law.
just keep up will you ? amd is not a concern anymore. bay trail is too expensive and wait till 2015 for a good solution. that's why intc is down 5%+ today, not amd. intel is competing against qcom, samsung, mediatek rockchip etc now, not amd.
btw, did you see the ad where mediatek is looking for a server cpu architect in san jose?
i thought the topic was intel vs rockchip parts. or you think intel stopped giving "marketing" dollars now that amd is dead?
so you don't think lenovo picking a competitor chip to what intel is desperately trying to sell these is interesting? or do you disagree with the fact that intel gives "marketing" dollars to companies to use their chips? or maybe you are confusing constructive with positive ?
ar-de-ar-ar.
is it talk like a pirate day already?
What is the value prop for this device
i am sure lenovo saw a good one as intc marketing dollars weren't enough to put in an x86 instead against zero rockchip marketing dollars
your boy momo is upto his old tricks again. maybe go check on him sometime.
this is a way to starve TSMC
what is it with you guys starving, cutting off the oxygen from your competitors? can't win in a fair fight, resort to violence
good copy/paste
Android tablets
did you see the android tablet lenovo has made (my previous post) ? they are coming but not with x86 it seems.
android laptop:

comes with a 1.6GHz quad-core Rockchip RK3188 Cortex-A9 processor
My previous notebooks were 1920x1200 (both dell & mbpro) but almost no one sells that resolution anymore at 17 inch. by next year, i'll get either a high-res 15.6 or larger which ever exists.
i have a 17 inch 1920x1080 SB notebook. i have been looking for a high-resolution notebook for a while but no high-res 17 inchers. i am considering going to a 15.6 inch now. dell m3800 or the new xps 15 are quite nice. maybe by the time bw are out, they will have 17 inch high res displays.
Does anyone have any idea when we are supposed to see Broadwell based notebooks? My SB notebook is still doing well so I think I can wait a little bit more.
i think amazon is playing games with pricing again. I see $325 when i click on the link posted.
IF demand is so tepid, why is the ASUS T100 still out of stock?
maybe asus has stopped making them? (although unlikely)
Windows 8.1 tablet sales 20-30% below expectations
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20131031PD209.html?mod=2
They would be paying a less than Digikey but not 10%, more like
70 or 80%.
even i can buy stuff at 70/80% of digikey from a disti. that's no problem.
Keep in mind no one buys million gate FPGAs in high volume.
depends on what you mean by high volume. i really don't think you know what goes into a cisco mid to high end box. that may not be millions in volume but definitely high 100ks of parts. why do you think xlnx and altr make those very large parts, just for fun?
fabbing $2K priced dies
you do realize that's the digikey price, right? i would be amazed if cisco is paying more than 10% of that price.
yep, altera is selling so many of those $2k parts that their last report showed a 24% increase ... oops my mistake their revenue dropped 24% and they expect another 3% drop next q too. selling 200 mhz arm9 cpus on fpgas is making a ton of money apparently.
these ARM cores are embedded in FPGAs that
probably sell for well into three figure pricing
the following is xilinx 28nm dual core arm chip in an fpga with of course digikey pricing:

Intel 14nm versus Samsung 14nm
http://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/2797-intel-14nm-versus-samsung-14nm.html#!
but how exactly would you use the touch capability and what would you use it for
I am taking this as a general question, not specific to the machines pictured: Recently I got an xps 15 with touch for my daughter's birthday. Before this notebook, she had a desktop (which croaked recently) and an ipad. It is very interesting to observe her lean back in her bed with the notebook in her lap, switch between the keyboard and screen to do what ever feels comfortable. She draws and paints on screen with her fingers, types type name on the keyboard, uses the touchpad when she wants to. Having the touchsecreen, touchpad and keyboard all at the same time really increases the ease of use of this machine for her. I think people who say touchscreeens useless are just luddite old farts Anyone how has ever touched touchscreen/pad knows how nice it is to mix the use of it with a keyboard.
sell 128-bit licenses
a couple years after intel comes up with a 128 bit processor, apple will release a 128 bit arm based cpu and claim they did a 128 bit processor first.
I'll take an "iPad Pro" with Haswell-Y.
I am really curious whether apple will release a 13 inch a8 (a9?) ipad or an ipad mini with an x86 processor first. Care to take a guess?

Microsoft And Intel Are Getting Desperate
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1755062-microsoft-and-intel-are-getting-desperate
This is assuming that you can install the software on another machine
actually you don't have to. with vmware you can create a vm from a physical machine directly. unless the software needs a hardware key which is not supported in the host, it should work.
If it was hard for him, how about you yourself. I am sure you have not even tried it.
i am sure you are sure. being sure without any evidence seems to be the rule around here.
i am a producer of hard ip (ie gdsii + models + libs etc). some of my licensees don't find it that hard and they make money.
people who know WTF they're talking about.
there is significant lack of evidence of existence of those people in this group. there are people who think if something is hard for them, it must be hard for everyone but i think that hardly qualifies. i am not here to convince anyone of anything. i give pointers and show indicators. people still do have to do the hard work themselves. but apparently that's too hard for you.
Believe me, it's hard for everyone, not just me
and i thought you were just talking about unsubstantiated claims.
the claim is But, as Linley pointed out, this pie charge will look very different in a few years time.
we will see how it develops.
Hard for anyone, or else there would be a hundred SV startups doing exactly what you claim is "easy to do."
Anyone who claims one can just take existing IP blocks and put them together in "new and interesting ways" is full of it.
i am not claiming it is easy to do. i am just claiming that it may be hard for you. it is hard for most but there are ones who succeed, given by the evidence of hundreds of ip vendors, supplying thousands of ip blocks. of course for you buying a completely undifferentiated piece of silicon from intel and slapping it on a board designed by intel is all you can do so you claim anything else is too hard.

Intel Broadwell CPU delay to help PC vendors regain pace
Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 16 October 2013]
However, many players believe the delay is unlikely to create a serious impact on the notebook industry since new hardware is no longer the priority for consumers when purchasing notebooks.
With the delay, the brand vendors will not need to start price cuts early and will have at least three extra months to digest their inventories, the sources added.
maybe this is the real reason for the delay. it's not as if there is any competition in the notebook cpu arena. intel needs to concentrate on design/yields for bt & followup for 14nm not broadwell.
