this is the holy grail of flash replacement. if they actually have it, intel should be yelling from the rooftops instead of burying it in a slide for a future processor. the only thing which remotely fits the bill is phase change memory (which intel played around a while back) but doubtful if it can be "4x dram density with lower price and 500x as fast as nand" as the slide actually claims. of course the original intel presentation is gone but pictures exist. interestingly wccftech posting on the topic also seems to have disappeared.
some lines all the way down:
Whatever happened to the Intel Architecture-based SoCs that Spreadtrum and Intel were supposedly developing together? They were scheduled for rollout in the second half of 2015, but the project has apparently slipped.
Before the end of this year, the new SoC that will actually come out of Spreadtrum will use ARM-based octa-cores. That processor will be made by using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s 16nm process technology.
But what about power consumption issues of IA? Isn’t that the whole reason why ARM is beating Intel?
Li thinks Spreadtrum can work with Intel to customize IA for power improvements. “Intel could fine tune it, and optimize it” for the mobile market. But that may be “three years from now,” Li said.
they will use tsmc 16nm for 2015 chips and intel 14nm for 2016? most probably not ia but arm.

Intel, Rockchip jointly promoting SoFIA 3G-R SoCs in China [these are tsmc parts, yes?]
Intel reportedly is offering a subsidy of close to US$3 for every end-market device which has adopted the SoC solutions, the sources noted, adding that the amount of the subsidies will be increased in accordance with the purchasing volumes.
...
Currently, SoFIA 3G-R-based tablets set on Android 5.1 platform with a 7-inch 1,024 by 600 display, 3-megapixel front-facing camera, and 2,300mAh battery with 8GB memory capacity, are quoted at US$45 on average for 1,000-5,000 units in China, the sources revealed.
meanwhile apple is expected to release a 12" ipad with multitasking os and a new version of their internally built processor for god knows how much.

a different highlight: post pc world may have not arrived fully but it seems its no its way
Yes, we are buying fewer PCs nowadays mostly because they take far longer to die than they used to, but personal computing has extended to include a swarm of tablets, phones, Chromebooks and Blackberries
no skylake in the macbookpro update. unlikely that there will be another update this year. bummer.
so it's not just the consumer reports and other "naive" testing companies:

Elon Musk's battery launch could be even bigger than Viagra's
Electricity storage products aren't new. But Tesla’s price, power, and packaging set these batteries apart in a way that echoes the gap between the first iPhone and the smartphones that came before it. Now Musk has brought an Apple-launch level of public interest to what's essentially a infrastructure product, albeit one with potential to transform the way electrical grids are managed and the speed that solar power is adopted.

Digitimes Research: Top-5 notebook vendors see sequential drop of 32% in April shipments
Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Asustek Computer, the five largest notebook vendors, saw combined shipments in April decrease 32% on month, while Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics and Wistron, the world's three largest notebook ODMs, saw combined shipments in April slip 16% on month, according to Digitimes Research's latest monthly notebook shipment report.

POS car and has most people fooled on how good it is.
"Consumer Reports is calling the Tesla Model S the best car it has ever tested" but your testing is more comprehensive so you call it POS car. Do you mind sharing your test results for this conclusion? or are you full of it again?

I just did a search and there is a ton of suppliers and installers
you claimed that others are selling batteries at half the price of powerwall yet you continue not posting one single example. why do you think that is?
out of these tone of suppliers you claim to have found by your search, why don't you pick the ones selling a battery at $175/KWh and show us? maybe we are not as adept as using "Goggle" as you are.
GO Goggle[sic] home power supplies and educated[sic] yourself .
i guess it's difficult not being able to back-up one's claim. again why don't you post a link which shows a company selling $175/KWh batteries, other than There is a company down here in FL?
Power walls. HA! two other companies already sells them at half of what this jerk is selling them for
would you care to give links to those two companies which are selling $175/KWh batteries ?
Seems like Applied Micro sold those servers to Paypal at a severe discount just for bragging rights.
so you think amcc is doing contra-payments maybe
also the link you have probably used a 40nm xgene. i believe 28nm is sampling now and 16nm is not far behind. we just have to see what broadcom, and other high end arm chip providers will come up within the next 3-4 quarters. intel is working on its servers chips with 22nm/14nm processes. it is fun to watch.
Give you a few already with backup batterys on the market
Samsung SDI Co. Ltd,
LG Chem Ltd,
Saft Groupe SA
Siemens.
predictably there is no size and/or price attached to any of the examples you give. how much do they charge for a 10kwh battery which is ready to be coupled with an inverter? can you even buy one as a retail customer?
remember that when iphone came out all the individual features were available else where. iphones are still the best selling cellphones.

Its[sic] just a big li-ion battery wrapt[sic] up in a fancy out fit[sic] with tesla on it.for 3500$ and still have to charge it.
so there are a lot of other companies which sell you a 10KWhr battery which is easy to plug into an inverter for $3500. care to share some of those names with us?

I'd suggest looking at libjpeg-turbo.
i guess someone had to code the libjpeg-turbo so you are both right ...
Qualcomm is already shipping the 820, it's just that it is not in demand as it runs too hot.
perhaps you are thinking of 810?

it's for the reversal of running android apps on windows. .net runtime allows you run managed windows apps on other platforms.
this is a very nice machine. i wonder why they didn't use a broadwell though. i will be in the market for a machine like this with a skylake in it. i wonder when that's going to happen.
They only specify that they're using the -O3 flag. Does anyone know whether or not using the defaults for all other flags helps or hurts x86 vs. ARM? There are a zillion available architecture flags for gcc . . . .
alas gcc doesn't have the "check if it intc chip" logic in it.
I don't understand your point. Are you suggesting that the customer gets free wafers if his design still has bugs and is unsellable?
i don't think even you are stupid enough to suggest that if a customer has logic bugs in their design, tsmc should cover their costs for perfectly functioning wafers except the design bug. maybe intel counts buggy chips as sold (which they did for a while with the fpu bug, but then they had to give us new ones with the fdiv fixed) but if the wafer is testing above what's agreed with the lvs passing netlist, the customer has to pay, no? but maybe i am wrong; it's happened before.
There's no way that Apple will make a 17 inch laptop. Apple is about keeping their product lines small
i guess you mean "again"; perhaps you do not remember that they used to make one? i still have mine and i love it, it even has 1920x1200 which no 17" laptop carries anymore.
Even the best Touchpads are terrible anyway.
obviously you've never used a mbp touchpad. i love my mbp 15 touchpad but i wanted to get a 17" notebook. btw, hp messed up placement of arrow keys and home/end keys too. this is a really waste of all those chips which go into a plastic body.
another thing is that i didn't realize how bad intc integrated graphics chips are. graphics on this machine is barely usable. my machine is definitely going to have a nvidia or amd gpu.
Some would would say they were entering "volume production" in Q3.
did ms. smith make that claim?
funny:
ASML Holding has signed an agreement with one of its major U.S. customers to deliver a minimum of 15 EUV lithography systems to support increased development activity and pilot production. The delivery of the first two NXE:3350B EUV systems is expected before the end of 2015. ASML did not name the customer. “ASML revealed that it had signed a 15 tool delivery deal with a U.S. manufacturer (we think most likely Intel),” said Srini Sundararajan, an analyst with W.R. Hambrecht + Co./Summit Research. “We think that Intel is signing up for these EUV tools given that TSMC is flirting with putting EUV to use in 10nm processing and Intel does not want to be left behind.”
i certainly hope the next mbp refresh will be skylake. then i can dump this pos hp envy i just got at the end of last year and get a real machine. no wonder pcs are losing. they still can't make even a working touchpad. i paid $800 for this pos but i am willing to pay 2-2.5x for a mbp. here is to hoping apple will start making 17 inch ones again.
yep, this is really bullish:
Finally, Intel said in its CFO commentary that part of this capital expenditure budget cut was also due to "alignment of capacity with demand," which might suggest Intel plans to put in less 14-nanometer capacity than it had originally planned
I don't.

PC ODMs expect to obtain orders at losses in 2H15
As vendors are conservative about global PC demand and have launched more inexpensive models, they will select ODMs with the lowest quotes to maintain thin profitability in the second half of 2015. Consequently, Taiwan-based ODMs indicated that there will be heated price-cut competition and they will likely see losses on some orders.
Vendors, including Lenovo, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Asustek Computer, will soon send RFQs (requests for quotation) mainly for new models based on the Intel Skylake platform, the ODMs said.
If shipment volumes for Skylake PC orders are below a certain level, ODMs will surely suffer losses, the sources said. However, ODMs will have to offer low quotes to compete for orders because low utilization rates may result in larger losses, the sources indicated
Taiwan sees decreased 1Q15 digital camera shipments
Taiwan-based ODMs shipped a total of 2.3 million digital cameras in the first quarter of 2015, decreasing 42.4% on quarter and 13.6% on year, according to Digitimes Research.

Shorter battery life than Apple's very similar 12-inch MacBook, and a matching configuration costs more
who in their right mind would buy this configuration?
