Some 32-bit processors can do 36-bit memory addressing, and 32-bit apps could address more than 4GB of memory with segmentation. Kind of like the old days when you could address more than 1 MB of memory in DOS by accessing that last (nearly) 64k with the last addressable segment.
So is a smartphone no longer a smartphone because they up the specs? Personal computers are several orders of magnitude faster than they were in 1981, have they stopped being personal computers?
There is nothing inherently inferior about x86 compared to any other instruction set or architecture. Intel has proven time and again that they can push incredible performance with it. And, by the way, Intel did try to move away from it with Itanium and VLIW technology.
The trick, obviously, is coming up with algorithms that can manage and maintain that level of parallelism. There are very few applications today that can maintain decent utilization of a 8 cores, let alone hundreds, thousands, or millions. This sort of technology would be FAR more useful on servers. Even at the current rate of growth, the need for dozens of cores on a desktop is decades out, at least.
I wonder if the site got WRITTEN permission before posting the content. If so, then this will get interesting quick, if not then they're screwed, regardless of what people may have said at Discovery.
My statement was not that broad or far reaching. The post I responded to was.
Personally, I'm all for gun rights and own several. But that doesn't mean I think everyone should be allowed to possess anything, anywhere. There have to be limits simply because we can't all trust each other.

The S&M capital of the world?
The goggles, they did nothing... to protect their eyes.
Maturity is a relative term, after all. ;)
Shouldn't that be "No plasma for you!"?
Incest is the dark side of the force...
Is this a netbook by your "standards"?

Love Shack, baby!

REPENT YOU SINNERS!
They could easily sustain themselves with targeted advertising. Assuming, of course, they do it right.
It takes a village to raise an idiot...
That Geeks > God. At least in their minds...
He was also much older and much thinner than IE...
On an Atom 330 with nVidia's ION, Windows 7 is more than usable.
Perhaps not, but most people are still using XP, hardly anybody has moved to Vista or Windows 7.
I would agree that "hardly anyone" might apply to Vista, but it most certainly does not apply to Windows 7.

Seems like they fixed it easily enough...

Makes me wonder if there would be a way to use the generated heat to power a cooling unit. *face thinking*

All it says is that some of it was posted on YouTube, not all of it. What exactly is your point?
I'm betting a military establishment somewhere has done something similar that with similar expectations...
