Qualcomm Says Eight-Core Processors Are Dumb
itwbennett writes "Following rival MediaTek's announcement of plans to release an eight-core processor in the fourth quarter, Qualcomm has declared eight-core processors 'dumb'. 'You can't take eight lawnmower engines, put them together and now claim you have an eight-cylinder Ferrari. It just doesn't make sense,' Qualcomm's senior vice president Anand Chandrasekher said, according to a transcript of his comments to Taiwan media provided on Friday. Asked whether Qualcomm would one day launch its own octa-core processor, Chandrasekher said, 'We don't do dumb things.'"
And my virtual machines say, "Shut your pie hole, Chandrasekher."
And I suppose 640k is enough for anybody, too?
!#@%*)anks for hanging up the phone, dear.
Reminds me of a TV commercial from a while back, put out by one razor blade company, to make fun of another razor blade company for continually adding additional blades. I seem to recall that not long after those ads started airing, they disappeared, and the first company began adding additional blades as well.

Your mom gave me a rash...
You are allowed 5 free articles (or views) of The Onion website. After that they greet you with a paywall. One day, you are going to hit that limit. Your face is going to be annoyed once that happens.
That's perfect. The Onion only has 5 ideas that they keep recycling/repackaging.
Grow a set and use a straight razor like God intended. Nothing focuses your mind in the morning like the possibility of accidental suicide.
If you REALLY want to wake up, use one in the shower. You'll be VERY careful about dropping it.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
