AMD needs to be acquired by someone with a lot of money so they can at least use the new process nodes as they become available from other foundries. Even using Samsung/GF's 14nm FinFET process this year would do AMD's chips a lot of good. At 28nm, forget it.

But that doesn't mean Core-M is a "good" chip. I would stay away from it. The submitted article does a decent job of explaining why. You're much better off with a cheaper (yes, cheaper!) Broadwell Core i5 at 15W (or whatever its TDP is for this generation) than this chip.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but first off "Broadwell" only shipped as Core-M in 2014, not any other version. And it didn't do it in September, I think it was more like December, and only in a couple of devices that I think everyone forgot about.

Broadwell "technically" shipped in 2014, but 2015 is actually the year of Broadwell. I imagine the same will happen with Skylake - 99% of Sylake devices will appear in 2016.

I don't think that's true at all. A lot of brands do very well with Women, for example Cartier and their Tank line. Brands such as Chopard also do very well by offering exquisite design and material but uses a Quartz movement.

Many women's watch brand don't really market with "fancy in house movements with x complications", that's nerdy stuff for men, they market with material, design, and sell for the jewelry aspect of it, instead of the horology aspect.

For example, the Chanel (not even a traditional watch brand) J12 sold very well. I think it uses an ETA 2892 movement but goes for over $25k for the diamond version.
Yet reviews of Core M machines by average users are almost all of them pointing to sub-par performance including premium products such as the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, for which they paid $$$.

Leaving this impression with users is not good for your brand in the long run.

I think Intel optimized too much for battery life and TDP with Core M, and it was also priced and targeted at the wrong highend market.
Actually, Intel has very little reason to improve its chips in performance, and as we've seen basically since Ivy Bridge, their focus has mainly been dropping the power consumption of their chips, not increasing the overall performance of their chips (sure they've increased the IPC a bit more, but does it really count if the actual shipping chips then come out with a lower base frequency than the previous generation, making the overall performance at best stagnant, at worst significantly less than before - such as with Core M).

In reply to biehl.

Finland has been falling on the PISA tests and on other rankings does not do that well.

http://www.economist.com/news/international/21591195-fall-fo...

The answer is clear from the international results. If you want a high performing school have big classes, high stakes tests and loads of repetition like the high performing Asian schools do.

Or you could ponder why with such great schools why developed Asian countries like Korea and Japan don't run rings around the US in, say, software development and if, in the end, average school rankings don't really matter that much.
Out of interest, did it display the results pages from Google alright? Or was the CSS and JavaScript etc. not recognised?

Was it usable, speedwise, as a machine?
This point-of-view has been browbeaten into submission, but: Those products were made under the heavy influence of Steve Jobs, and it showed. Read the history, Steve had the vision and was intimately involved in every detail of those products and the business around them, in addition to staffing them with world class people.

Apple without Steve Jobs is a very different beast, a completely unknown quantity that has yet to prove itself. So far it is not doing too well IMHO.

Root of the problem seems to be that the standard gives pseudo code for generate_canonical (paragraph 26.5.7.2 in my unofficial version) that implementations must follow that, when translated straightforwardly into C, gives results that are inconsistent with the textual description of the function.

x86 license is not transferable so if AMD is acquired then bye-bye to AMD x86 chips.

Core M allows passive form factors which to me is super important - having a notebook that doesn't sound like an airplane in a distance as it is the case with my rMBP and Zenbook Prime under full load is a major benefit. No noisy interruptions when I need to focus on solving some difficult problem and am most sensitive to external distractions.

I'm sure the answer is complicated.

> What do I mean by that? In an ordinary free market--let's take potatoes, beef, anything you want--there are thousands of importers and exporters. Anybody can go into the business. But it's very hard for a small person to go into the drug importing business because our interdiction efforts essentially make it enormously costly. So, the only people who can survive in that business are these large Medellin cartel kind of people who have enough money so they can have fleets of airplanes, so they can have sophisticated methods, and so on.

In addition to which, by keeping goods out and by arresting, let's say, local marijuana growers, the government keeps the price of these products high. What more could a monopolist want? He's got a government who makes it very hard for all his competitors and who keeps the price of his products high. It's absolutely heaven.

It doesn't matter if it is unrealistic from an engineering perspective, what matters is end-user experience.

I've heard technically clueless people complain that their new highend Core-M laptop is slower than their old laptop when they just do work (ie+powerpoint+excel+mail), and they are frustrated.

Right then it doesn't matter that the new laptop only weighs half of the old one and still has much better battery life, work is still done mostly at a desk with power nearby.
This sounds more like extortion.
Yes, that's really important for the Git LFS project to us. Of the languages that we're comfortable with, it's the only one that met that requirement.

Perhaps this is more of an opening for non-x86 mobile chips (MIPS, ARM, etc.) than for AMD.
IMHO, USB drives as a storage medium will die out before FAT32 on USB drives die out purely due to the effort Vs value trade-offs.
Is there an architecture diagram that shows the boundary between VMM, OS, container and storage layers?
Unfortunately, Microsoft has kind of killed ARM's entrance into Windows notebooks, now that Windows RT is essentially dead. And Google - Google of all companies, with their architecture-agnostic Chrome OS - has also helped push Intel into its now near-monopoly in Chromebooks. At least with Microsoft it's somewhat understandable why it would kill Windows RT - no compatible apps. But ChromeOS?!

Google should be pushing ARM in notebooks like crazy. If ARM doesn't end up with at least 70% market share in Chromebooks (due to the multiple ARM chip makers, just like Android has the majority of market share in mobile operating systems), then I'll consider that a major competition failure.

Granted it's not all Google's fault for pushing Intel. Intel managed to enter the Chromebook market with some shameless lies:

1) First lie: promoting the new Intel Chromebooks as "Haswell Chromebooks". I have a good memory and I remember at the time most people thought that was basically Core i5 Chromebooks - at least for a while.

2) Second lie: Those chips were Haswell Celeron, but at those device price points of $200-$250, it would've been impossible for Intel to sell them profitably. So they sold them below cost, so people then can have the choice between what is essentially a $110 chip and a $20 chip, yet the devices cost roughly the same ($250). So of course the choice was made for them, and people would rather get the $250 device with the $110-value chip than the $20 one.

It still pisses me off to no end that governments aren't taking action against Intel over this. It's highly monopolistic and anti-competitive behavior. It's no different than Microsoft eating the cost of IE and bundling it with Windows. Intel has also wasted over $8 billion in subsidizing their mobile chips so far, to be able to sell them under-cost, and competitively against ARM. No ARM maker, not even Samsung or Qualcomm, could ever afford to do something like that. So why is Intel allowed to do it to take out the competition from the market in this way?

3) Third lie: After people got used to $250 Celeron (Haswell) Chromebooks - Intel did a bait and switch and switched those more powerful Haswell Celerons with Atom-based Celerons, which are no more powerful than ARM chips, but people now think those "Celerons" are.

It gets worse. Now that people remember that the ~$110 or so "Celerons" were relatively powerful (thanks to the Haswell/Core architecture), they are now starting to charge that much for the Atom-based Celerons. Even though as I said, they are the equivalent of $20-$30 ARM chips. But this is what monopoly can get you (at least in Windows PCs and Chromebooks, where the ARM competition has been all but wiped out).

The lies also continue with the way Intel is now calling its new Atoms - "Braswell", as if they had anything to do with Haswell or Broadwell.

Intel has become (or perhaps has always been, I've only been following this stuff closely for the past few years) an incredibly shady company. And it saddens me that more people don't see it, and that Intel gets away with it stealing ever more market share in nefarious and anti-competitive ways.

Producing quality random floating point numbers, fast, is a solved problem (maybe even since the times of John von Neumann) but the astronauts would then have to come to the Earth and not just invent the wrong code attempting to use the the latest features of the standard. The direction should be the opposite: starting from the known and proper solutions, see how they can be (if they need to be) standardized.

The standard that standardizes "something" while not knowing how the problem is actually solved in practice is actually dangerous.

It's definitely me being to naive, however I would type all the expression, in either the source code (into comment) or in a separate file, and all the statement.

Actually, it is a justification. That's why a bulti-million dollar company is releasing a macbook with no usb 2 port. Just because a certain demographic would make use of such a port, a large demographic wouldn't. Plus, they are looking into the future. For every year that passes, people will use less and less physical media.

As for your ethernet example, that's too bad. Wifi capabilities will get better for every year that passes, too.
I've used UDF on external drives. Its only limitation was that Windows XP wouldn't write to UDF filesystems (from memory, Windows Vista onwards support writing to UDF).

It has been a nice little filesystem to use on thumbdrives where cross-platform compatibility is key.

The only downside is the sparse documentation on creating UDF filesystems on block devices.
The damage would be a lot worse than $500.
So why are you moving 5gb between PCs? Especially on a small flash drive rather than a portable harddrive (which comes formatted with a more appropriate file system to handle large files).
Get a raspberry pi. ;)
You can't separate encryption from authentication, and the application is the only thing that can tell you what qualifies as authentication.

With IPSec you can tell the OS "open an encrypted connection to 69.231.14.52" and the OS will verify that you're actually talking to 69.231.14.52 and no-one else can read your messages. But that's not actually terribly helpful, because what you want to ensure is that only Bob can read your messages. And only the application knows who Bob is.
In 2010, google switched to https for gmail and publishes the performance cost for it.

On our production frontend machines, SSL/TLS accounts for less than 1% of the CPU load, less than 10 KB of memory per connection and less than 2% of network overhead. Many people believe that SSL/TLS takes a lot of CPU time and we hope the preceding numbers (public for the first time) will help to dispel that.
And the back button is broken as a result.

The top speed is actually the function of the heat generated, and you can generate more when you have better cooling, as simple as that. If some "expert" claimed to the users that by looking at the processor name they can know how fast something is it's the "expert" who isn't.

My pleasure. One thing I forgot to mention is that I try to never use negatives in boolean names, both for methods and variables. The moment you start with "IsNotXXX" or "HasNoXXX", you're creating a new way to potentially confuse future readers. If you can, always try to find a positive way of expressing the same, it'll usually be less ambiguous. If it really is necessary to express a negative, perhaps because the reverse is too broad or hard to formulate, it's usually better to invert the meaning of the boolean entirely. So instead of

if(IsNotFoo) {}

you can do

if(!IsFoo) {}

It's a simple thing, but it can save you valuable time and brainspace at some point in the future.
You can't simply delete police records, it's not your home computer with cat pics. According to the article, these files were pretty important:

1. When you are poor, school feels like you are trading pleasing an adult for the slim chance of getting out of poverty. It feels less like you are working in a real system with an honest chance and more like you are playing in someone's half psychotic maze. The adult world seems like a careless game where no one cares about anyone besides themselves once they've made it.

2. Many of those kids in poor schools are smarter than you think, and have a more realistic understanding of the real world than their wealthy counterparts. It's just the side no one likes talking about, because honestly, it's something society in general is ashamed of. We can build all this great stuff but we can't scale equality.
