Actually, this CPU is in 15 fastest single core CPUs ever, including all desktop processors: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

Benchmark for a CPU that is not even released yet and is planned for Q4 2018...

I have a proof for you. Please check the single core performance here:

iPhone XS: 4794 scores https://browser.geekbench.com/ios_devices/56

The newest Xeon E-2176M: 4900 scores https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2500

the difference is only 2%...

Jet another 14nm CPU... so don't expect any noticeable performance boost. Even low-voltage iPhone XS CPU has the same single core performance as top-notch Intel processors for workstations... Apple is already using 7nm, but Intel needs at least 1-2 years more to make their 10nm manufacturing process working. This is what happend when a tech company only cares about high margin and nothing else.

Yes, better not incorporate any business at all, than do it in Germany. You will waste 50% of your time on bureaucracy, instead of developing your product.

Your link just proves how horrible German tax system is:

* A german needs 2x more time for taxes than a UK citizen

* needs 3x more time than a Norway citizen

* needs 4x more time than a Swiss citizen

* 20x more time than a UAE citizen

Germany has a lot of drawbacks to be the next silicon valley:

* the most difficult tax system in the world. even freelancers have to use accountant services, because most people will not be able to pay taxes properly without it.

* high taxes - 42% income tax + Solidaritätszuschlag 5.5% = 47.5%; for corporations it's ~30%.

* A LOT of buerocracy. I can't even send an email to tax authorities in my area, because they only accept paper letters but nothing else.

* highly qualified foreigners have to learn German and it's quite difficult language.

* the market in Germany is much smaller comparing to USA. If you want to target EU, then you have to support a lot of different languages, date/time formats, regulations and laws etc.

* recently the EU introduced a lot of additional regulations for internet companies (GDPR, new copyright directives that require checking uploaded files, etc...).

* weather is not that appealing as in the valley.

* the difference in salaries between regular developers and rockstars is very low. So there is zero motivation to become one.

* low salaries for software engineers. The most of senior software developers will earn 50.000 - 60.000 EURO anually and after paying taxes it's only ~2.600 EURO per month (3.000 USD)

* poor internet connection in a lot of places / poor connection speed - almost any country is better in this regard

Europe is a no-go area for any startup. Instead of building your product, you will spend all your time complying with thousands of GDPR-like laws, difficult tax regulations, different languages etc. and every country has also a lot of additional national laws (Hackerparagraf in germany for example). It's just not worth it.

In Germany salaries for software developers are also very average

Almost every printed document also have hidden yellow dots that allows you to get certain information about that document (print date, print model etc...)

Developing a SaaS product based on completely proprietary stack that you can't even host yourself is VERY dangerous!!! Just yesterday there was a report that twitter bought a company and immediately closed their API access to all customers.

What will you do, if Amazon decide to close your AWS account for some reason? What if they discontinue one of the services you use?

Here is a huge list of products discontinued by Google as example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products#Discon...

It's even faster than the newest I7 8650U

but still more than 100 discontinued services...

24 deprecated services in 2018 alone (in just 6 months...)

In the past years Google has deprecated more than 100 services, so I will never trust them to build any software using their proprietary stack.

I didn't know HTML/CSS are programming languages...

So, my next smartphone will be iPhone, even if I prefer open source. AdBlockers are just too important. Not only they protect your privacy, but they also stop some malware programs that use ads for spreading. And don't Google & Amazon already make 30% from app sales?

C# has a large network effect and it also has very few disadvantages, so there is little motivation to switch to F# for C# devs.

I tried Rider may be 2-3 months ago and it was much much slower than Visual Studio 2017. I also had problems with font rendering (I use DPI > 100%) and all dialogs like open file are non-native, but from Java. Looks completely different than standard dialogs from Windows. So I will continue to use VS2017.

I doubt that France will be able to do this - they have many disadvantages comparing to USA:

- high taxes

- a lot of buerocracy

- language burden to attract high qualified foreign employees

- lower salaries

- fragmented political system in the EU

- much lower population in France comparing to USA and if you want to cover the entire EU, you have to support many different languages, currencies, etc...

I have ~600 small business customers from the EU who are using my SaaS product and until now I received zero requests regarding GDPR. It seems it was the right decision to ignore this law, because no one cares about it. The same thing was with the cookie banner. Never built it into the product and in 6 years not even a single person asked about it...

Salaries in Europe are also very low for software developers. In Germany you will make on average 50-60K euro per year as a senior software developer. After tax this is less than 3000 euro per month. Similar situation in the UK. This is the reason why not a single company from Europe reached the TOP-10 in the world by market cap. Talents are moving away from Europe. According to news I read, 140000 people leaving Germany each year, especially people with high qualification.

You don't need GDPR to hide your WHOIS records. Almost any domain registry provides WhoisGuard that will hide all your WHOIS data.

I do care about privacy - I don't use Analytics on my website, don't show any ads, don't send marketing emails and don't sell customer data to anyone. However, I will not comply with that bureaucratic law, because the EU will not be able to enforce it in my country and I have much more important things to do to stay competitive on the market (I have a lot of competitors).

I plan to completely ignore GDPR laws and will not modify neither my privacy policy not my SaaS product, even if I have a lot of customers from the EU.

EU will not be able to enforce GDPR law in other countries, unless company has a subsidiary in the EU. Otherwise any country in the world can create their laws and expect that anyone in the world following them.

Intel is too bureaucratic, slow and margin-oriented for the modern world (just like IBM). They tried to produce 10nm processors using an outdated technology and they struggle even now to make it work. Competitors, on the other side, using the newer and more expensive EUV technology, because they don't need super-huge margins. TSMC is already working on 5nm technology, while Intel is trying to fix their 10nm...

Just block all EU users. EU only makes 15% of the world population and after Brexit even much less than 15%, so they are not that important.
