Hundreds of nanometers is rather larger then the current tech 32nm. These are going to have to get quite a bit smaller, faster, and more durable before they stand a chance.
A two billion cycle limit is the worst part i think, my cpu did that in the last.66 seconds.
I personally have gotten an intel core i3 540 to 5798mhz. >5ghz is very easy on modern intel CPUs. Hell that cpu did 4.7 ghz on mid grade air cooling. There is no "3ghz wall", nor a "4ghz wall". So far the record for a retail cpu is 8199mhz.
5ghz is absolutely nothing in the benchmarking world. 980x cpus can generally reach 6ghz cooled by liquid nitrogen, some are close to 7ghz. Single Stage Phase Change cooling (what is pictured) is used by many to rough in an overclock and get familiar with a given chip, but few people use it for their final results as it doesn't get nearly cold enough. Dry ice gets closer, but nothing beats LN2 for 980x cpus.
This is really not very impressive.
The efficiency of modern automobile internal combustion engines is around 30-33%. Obviously american cars still using pushrods are behind in this.
The energy that is lost goes into the cooling system and out the exhaust. Unless they are recapturing that heat they are claiming to get more energy out of burning gasoline then we currently get out of burning gasoline. BTUs are BTUs, and there are only so many of them in gasoline. You can't heat it and burn some of the BTUs to increase the number of BTUs it has when burnt.
The all time record is 50%, and that is a huge 103rpm diesel engine.
This concept has been done over and over again and made people a lot of money, while giving absolutely zero improvement. It's a fake.
Well yes, and he also said he wouldn't raise taxes on the poorer end of people, hence calling the money collected by the IRS if you don't buy his health insurance plan a "fine" or "penalty", rather then the tax that it is.
It's a problem when the offshore camera looks like a canon, has a not-quite-canon-but-damn-close logo, and tells the computer it's a canon, but actually installs a rootkit and fails after a month.
That's an issue because if they think they can get away with selling it as a canon, they will!
Go buy an "8gb" MP3 player off ebay, odds are good that it's 8gigabits, and while that isn't terribly dishonest, if you look at the partition it displays to windows you'll see 7.99gigabytes available space.
My point being that the offshore vendors will love this and abuse the hell out of it, to the detriment of everybody, they're unscrupulous bastards, after all.
It's about on par with a 2.2ghz northwood P4(remember P4s? That was back when AMD ruled the world). Which is indeed very, very slow compared to a modern anything.
Intel can't tell people how slow it is, who would want to buy tech from four year ago that sucked then?
Admittedly i have a dell mini9 powered by an atom and love it, but i knew exactly how slow it'd be when i bought it.
A misfire is still a misfire, and a misfire is what is caused by a plug wire with internal breaks. It can be part time, but it is still a misfire and is very obvious, like i said.
A weak speak causes a misfire under load at low RPM, that weak spark can be caused by a high resistance plug wire, or other factors. However, it still either causes combustion or doesn't cause combustion.
What you mention, checking plug wires with an ohm meter and/or flexing them is first year stuff, it's not exactly a secret. I was not talking about how you find the source of a misfire (random or not), the diagnostic process isn't relevant here. Nor is the very true fact that you can have a misfire in some RPM bands and not others. The point, is that plug wires that are not causing a misfire do not effect fuel mileage significantly, something you seem to have missed.
The ECU's #1 priority is the mixture, all other things are secondary, and it's the mixture that primarily controls fuel mileage, assuming there aren't failures elsewhere.
I'm glad you're certified in heating/cooling/AC, but i don't see where that gives you any special knowledge in ignition systems of internal combustion. It means that you're a passable automotive HVAC guy, which is great for HVAC stuff.
I've spent entirely too much time under the hood of a car(21 year auto mechanic), and you are entirely incorrect.
Degrading plug wires either cause a misfire, which is blindingly obvious and kills mileage horribly, or doesn't. There is no middle ground. Plug wire misfires happen maybe once or twice in the 300,000 mile life of a (japanese...) car.
Modern electronic ignition systems are fairly immune to spark plug wear until extreme circumstances, such as missing three tuneups in a row with standard plugs. Then you will sometimes get drivibility issues and lose 1mpg, tops.
Back in the days of points it was different, plug wear and point wear (mostly point wear) had huge effects on mileage between tuneups. These days, the effects are minimal at most.
You can't buy them as seperate pills, they don't exist. The ranks of pure opiate painkillers are mighty thin, with oxycontin being the only pill one that i'm aware of. All the rest come bundled with acetaminophen or asprin.
That's my issue with this. Unless my facebookies have used dozens of different cameras/heatsinks/whatevers their advice just isn't useful, and none of them are likely to know how to build a heatpipe, or other esoteric things like that.
Moreover, if they did know i'd just, you know, ask them.
XP faster then vista/7? I'm shocked.
I've been doing some general testing between XP and ubuntu 8.10 as well as dellbuntu 8.04.
Ubuntu gets 25% longer battery life on my netbook, but cannot play youtube videos (on either version) without lurching video.
XP on the same netbook does youtube just fine, but has a 3 hour batter life to ubuntu's 4 hour.
On an old p4 i have xp scrolls smoothly and instantly in firefox, where 8.10 has a delay before anything happens.
My conclusion: On a slow system, XP is faster.

A sad day, that was the best movie of the series IMO. Too bad he didn't do more of them.

SeldomLink is what i call them. Service goes down constantly.

Y'all do realize that overclockers have modern CPUs over 7ghz, right?

Every time they say pledges of financial support, i wonder how many people actually follow through and pay.

Silicon has been "about to reach it's limits" since the late 90's.

This just in: Presidents lie!
I want some, especially if they have a decent capacity.
Lets see if they do a better job on intel then they did on microsoft.
I will laugh when ATT and the Iphone cease to work entirely.
While they're at it, charge extra for text messaging while moving faster then 10mph, stupid car texting people anyway.

My dell mini9 gets ~3h in xp, or ~3:50 in ubuntu.
How is defeat not inevitable from the very beginning?
Your numbers aren't much better, my Pentium Dual Core e5200's 45nm transistors think you're funny.

For starters the dell outlet always has non-camera mini9's. Beyond that, spraypainting the camera lens would probably convince a $12/hour type.
As opposed to a non-binary computer?
