http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33230 Intel in the crosshairs, as execs explain themselves By Paul Hales: Monday 24 July 2006, 14:31 BEST MATES AMD and ATI held a conference call today in which the companies' biggest cheeses sought justify their new cohabitation. The 'excited'...

Why don't hard drive manufacturers figure out a way to stripe data across the multiple platters in a hard drive to get greater throughput? It seems to me that if you have multiple heads and platters you should be able to multiply the throughput to some extent based upon the number of...

Only they call it floating-body RAM. AMD obviously has put a scare into Intel with its well-advanced studies with Innovative Silicon. It would be interesting to see how Intel can get around Innovative's patents in this field. BTW, the "history effect" that Intel is talking about is capacitance, and...

I just upgraded my brother's computer from Win XP to Ubuntu 5.10. It was an unbelievable success! It surprised even me how smoothly it went -- didn't need to go into the command-line even once. Linux has arrived, it seems. My brother is a highly typical computer user, doesn't know how it works,...

I read the following article http://tinyurl.com/8s2aa on amdzone.com. Extremetech looks at gameplay experience comparing AMD and Intel CPUs. I'm surprised they used DDR2 533, but then of course if they were on the real ball they would be using faster than DDR400 using the Lanparty

I found this whitepaper from HP to be pretty good, it is surprisingly candid, considering HP was the coinventor of the Itanium. It does a pretty good job of explaining and summarizing the similarities and differences between AMD64 and EM64T, and their comparison to the Itanium's IA64 instruction...

There's some good potshots at Intel for not being able to hit 4Ghz with Pentium 4, but the really funny shot goes against Apple/IBM for not getting G5 out at 3Ghz. Intel's in good company. Nobody hit the chip speeds they promised. In June 2003, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said IBM's G5 chips would be...

They're talking about integrating flash with hard disks, as well as increasing the sector size from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes. Revamping Hard Disk Architecture http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1901955,00.asp

AMD does come out with performance benchmarks higher than intel. But i find many AMD systems not performing as expected against the intel counterpart. and almost always its the intel that wins in every aspect. Why is the bench mark different from the true story?? and if its the case of...

http://download.intel.com/pressroom/legal/ftc/FTC_Final_Executed_Agreement.pdf *** So far, I've read that Intel-FTC agreement requires: (1) Intel will allow competitors to use any foundry they like. (2) Intel will not sue a competitor for a year, if that competitor gets sold to a third party,...
