Without getting into all the intricacies of our governments entitlement programs, conservatives in general believe that a lot of these programs don't represent the correct compassionate response.
in this light it is seems that balancing increased farm subsidies with cutting school breakfast programs represents the correct conservative compassionate response as observed in the house.
It is a characteristic of the Liberal mind to believe itself to be superior to all others. Everything flows from this simple fact.
on the other hand conservative mind seems to think liberal mind is simply inferior; six of one vs half a dozen of the other ...
Global notebook shipments may drop 20-30% in 4Q14, say component makers
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20140828PD212.html
there is an old project management saying...
It is not possible to use nine moms to have a baby in a month.
obviously these management types don't know about pipelining. it's certainly possible to get a new baby every month if you arrange your schedule properly. do you think intc waits for a new process to be fully baked before starting new designs on it? (actually we know the answer to that as observed by broadwell release)
TSMC to start 16nm volume production in 1Q15, says report

DesignWare USB femtoPHYs are proven in customer silicon on 28-nm and 14-nm FinFET processes
interesting, no?

yep, really looking forward to replacing my 17" SB notebook. I hope by then people will have hi-res 17" panels.
it is an acronym for maamloze vennootschap which means "nameless company". mbly is incorporated in netherlands which use that terminology.
altera/xilinx 14nm/16+nm tape-outs
has anyone read the article where both altera and xilinx claim that they will tape-out their first 14nm/16+nm in 1q2015 ? of course altera is saying first production tape-out as they taped-out some test chip with fpga primitives before. xilinx claimed they were doing test chips in 2013 and now they are saying they would tape-out on 16nm+ instead.
xilinx 20nm is not a great step ahead so I am still on their 28nm chips so it would be very interesting to see their 16nm chips.
intel is definitely suffering from some 14nm related issues; it would be interesting to see if tsmc (and other foundries) can take advantage of that delay or whether they would have to go through the same pain themselves.
Bay Trail against the other low end SOC's at the $99 price point ought to wipe out the other options
so you are sure that margin for other options is not higher than an bt solution? and what happens when contra revenue (or is it negative revenue or bribe?) stops coming?
Intel's Cherry Trail adopts 14nm Airmont architecture and supports 32- and 64-bit Windows and Android. Devices adopting the processors may not be available in the market until February, while Broxton-based processors will also be postponed to the second half of 2015, the industry sources said.
so it's not just broadwell; 14nm is impacting mobile significantly too?

"they don't have to advance the technology anymore."
Yes they do. Intel competes with obsolescence.
obviously but at a much slower rate. each generation can be milked much more.
You're telling me that if AMD were doing better, the market for desktop and notebook PCs would be growing by double-digits?
why is it that intel apologists immediately add amd to the conversation when the monopoly behavior is mentioned?
the victim here is all the consumers who would buy a computer, not amd. when a company is a monopoly, they don't have to advance the technology anymore. intel never could wait this long to release a new generation if they had a viable competitor in this space.
Intel really doesn't have any competition in this space so I guess there really isn't a lot of downside in the PC market - where else are you going to go? AMD?
so that's what you get with a monopoly. my 17" sb notebook is still going nicely and i think i can wait for a skl one. maybe by then they will have high res 17" panels. it is sad that no one sells 1920x1200 17" notebooks anymore; let alone any higher resolution available at 15" panels.
is this really true? http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/intel-delays-higher-end-broadwell-chips-to-july-september-2015/
i've been considering upgrading my SB 17" notebook to BW but it doesn't seem likely for another year. Will BW really overlap SKL?
TSMC's 16nm FinFET and 16nm FinFET Plus processes are expected to enter volume production in the second half of 2015, said the sources.

i think the real thing is better (ie a mbp). it has a larger display, (slightly) better processor and a much better native os. 512gb version has twice the memory (8g vs 16g), and is $100 less expensive. it has a 750 gpu vs a 870 but i have no clue how much of a difference that would make. maybe for a gamer but memory and display size would be more important for me (and razor is heavier).
any more news on broadwell from the cc?
demand and ability to supply it are different things. if apple is delaying, finding a small vendor to sell a small number of chips points to a certain reason.
i think the point is that a very small number of broadwells will be released this year to make the claim that they've started shipping but not enough in numbers to satisfy any real demand; which points to being able to produce large numbers, ie yield as intel doesn't have a lack of fabs or anything else selling in crazy numbers.
rumor in the halls that Intel is still having 14nm yield problems
https://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/3660-intel-14nm-delayed-yet-again.html
also interesting: Since Knights Landing is such a flat architecture, where it’s just a bunch of equivalent-sized processors that are smaller and weaker whereas for hot processes you want a stronger processor, we’re going to have to do some thinking
The Broadwell H 4+3e quad-core chips with Iris Pro graphics designed for the larger Retina MacBook Pro and iMac won't be shipping until July 2015 at the earliest
isn't that more or less the same schedule for skylake?
Samsung/Globalfoundries team reportedly lands 14nm orders from Qualcomm, Apple
these were interesting: it remains uncertain as how Apple would distribute its A9 processor orders to related foundry houses since Intel is also a potential contender for the orders. ... TSMC also plans to roll out a 16nm FinFET Turbo process tailored to Apple's requirements

In your disturbed mind every processor made by Intel is at fault.
wtf does this mean? it's not even wrong.
i don't know what's funnier. your ability to make sh*t up on the spot or your inability to follow a simple sequence of events. this was the source of the thread:
Intel selling robots
http://www.itworld.com/hardware/424468/jimmy-3d-printed-robot-coming-soon-intel
"The 45-centimeter-tall "social robot" will cost US$1,500. The walking robot, developed in conjunction with Trossen Robotics, is a smaller version of a $16,000 robot shown by Intel CEO Brian Krzanich during a keynote at the Re/code conference in May."
They have one for $16K too. The small robot for $1,500 seems too small to be that useful but it might be fun to play with. I wonder how large the $16K model is.
ART is available for both 32 and 64 bit ARM, x86 and MIPS processors.
Humanoid robots can walk into the ruins of damaged reactors to do clean up and fixes
so that's intel's emerging market for its processors, cleanup robots for damaged nuclear reactors ?
it wasn't announced but rumors are that nexus 8(ney 9?) is not going to have an x86 in it.
What a difference 5 years makes
this looks pretty decent but don't forget availability is still out more than a year: 2Q15.
That's the catch. They need the money, they need the fabs, and they need time to learn.
maybe they don't need as much time as one imagines. in ussr times russian engineers have designed their processor using msi/lsi logic which weren't much worse then initial 8080 or initial arm processors.
Russia has the money, of course, but they don't have the fabs. What are they going to do, rely on Taiwan or Korea, both of whom are American allies?
this is a real problem, so it comes to east/west. chinese will want to do their own chips (actually they already they do so maybe they will share technology.
As for the "time to learn," by the time they do, Intel and ARM will have advanced forward.
that wasn't a problem for arm which has started processor design nearly 15 year after intel. it's definitely possible to catch up to arm.
The reason why Russia is irrelevant in the high-tech world, despite them having a lot of very smart techies, is because their socio-economic system is completely broken.
this i have to agree with.
Hence I don't have any high expectations for a CPU design program led by the Russian government.
american or british cpu are not designed/led by their respective governments. it's entirely possible they will wake up to private enterprise too; but with putin not very likely...
Russia, for instance, has a ton of very smart engineers, but I really doubt they can come up with a CPU that can match the power and efficiency of an Intel, AMD, or ARM CPU.
that's really silly. so americans can design a cpu, brits can do it too but russians can't? they just don't have the experience yet. i know a lot of extremely strong russian engineers and if they are given the money and access to fabs and time to learn there is no reason they can't implement, say, the arm isa at least as well as arm.
Russia wants to replace US computer chips with local processors
http://en.itar-tass.com/economy/736804
The first products will be Baikal M and M/S chips, designed on the basis of 64-bit nucleus Cortex A-57 made by UK company ARM, with frequency of 2 gigahertz for personal computers and micro servers
FWIO
I think it means Fast Wide IO referring to pin speed and number of pins relative to DDR
so you think a government which buys (tens of?) millions of copies of windows signed a contract where it doesn't get the source after ms has stopped supporting the said os ?

200 Million Workers Want Windows 8 Tablets, Not iPads
apparently msft doesn't know that as they recently released office for ipad. why don't you tell them that they can stop working on that product?
include P&L transceivers and FPGA blocks
so these are actually test vehicles, not first tape-out of gds which can become a product at some point.
We're very happy to announce that we've got the first working transceiver in a finFET technology.
does this mean intel's 14nm transceivers don't work
