> This is pretty important for AMD because they've been having a terrible time matching Intel at per cycle efficiency.

Bulldozer was always supposed to be a high clock long pipe machine, sacrificing some IPC. See eg http://www.anandtech.com/show/5057/the-bulldozer-aftermath-d...

"Per-clock efficiency" is generally not goal in itself in CPU design, absolute performance and efficiency are. Where AMD has stumbled is getting the clock up, probably partly related to their unfortunate fab situation

The speed-demon strategy has seen successes historically, Pentium 4's fate notwithstanding. See eg the DEC 21164 and the IBM z196.

It's getting to the point that there is no the business case for Google to stay in the US.

Disregarding biology, an apple has .15 kg * (c^2) -> cal = 3.2 × 10^15 calories

Or process heat for industry, that's how it is used in my home town.

It's better than landfill without methane recovery, greenhouse gas wise.

Exposing charlatans is commonly accepted. Elsewhere in the thread it was implied they hold peoples medical data (hipaa).

This is pretty revisionist. There were lots of years and internet enabled phones between wap and iPhone (eg Nokia symbian devices).

Internet is peer to peer. If you are a victim of packet beancounters, the onus is on you to filter your traffic and apps to conform.

Outlawing unions is a pretty outrageous proposition. it's a basic workers right.

Strictly speaking Ogre is just a 3d engine. But yes, would be nice to hear how people see this comparing against ogre + pile of open source libs + custom game logic core.

Thanks!

Please make the apk available for those of us who don't gave the proprietary market app or choose not to link a Google id to the phone.

When I visited the EP recently we were told the speaker just does an eyeball estimate from a show of hands when it's not close. Seemed pretty untransparent.

Why would you replace real gc with refcounting?

People buy meat when they have more money than required for sustenance, which takes much more grain than direct consumption.

None of those require C, and are frequently done using high level languages.

But they haven't decided to block, quoted bit is just a proposed agenda item for some "global alliance" thing.

This doc doesn't say that.

Motorcycles don't have "amazing fuel economy": small cars do <100 g/km and sadly few motorcycles beat that.
