There's not much that their 8-core Vishera won't do so you're good across the whole scale. Anyone who wants THE FASTEST processor just to have it is crazy and anyone who wants the fastest one because their encode HD videos daily for CNN, that's a different story.
They should just develop their own vastly superior battery technology instead of buying other people's cells. All they'd have to do is read Slashdot and call up everyone behind every battery vaporware story and buy their patents and/or company. Then they could make superior batteries that are lighter and better than anyone else. They could either lease those new patents out or directly make battery cells for other companies like golf cart manufacturers or laptop battery makers and they'll probably make more of a profit on that than on their cars.
While you are correct, that wasn't the reason in that case. Sandy vs Ivy overclocking was due to the way they added thermal compound inside the CPU itself. They did it differently and it jacked up the average core temp on every Ivy chip by as much as 10C in some cases.
Anyway, in response to the original post, lower power means cheaper power components that can't handle as many watts so it actually limits the amount of power the CPU can use. They don't make a chip twice as efficient and then leave the same old power handling components inside it.
I doubt anyone being serious about cutting their server power costs would go with this new chip in the first place. The socket Xeon E5 T-series are purposely underclocked but with a high single-core turbo so they benchmark (at single operations) at a somewhat close speed but take up immensely less power. It's like 50% less on most chips if I remember correctly.
That's not necessarily true. Someone running a photo editing app on their Galaxy and saying it's slower than their PC is one thing but that's wrong on so many levels. My not-so-smart phone runs Brew and the 1000mAH battery has a realistic idle time rating of 27 days and screen-off talk time of something like 16 hours. If someone basically wants a 4 ounce laptop with a 4" screen that runs for 48 hours, they're dreaming. More reasonable people just want an absurd battery life and realize that a phone can't process like a computer so everything will be a bit slow.
So instead of performance per joule, it's really more like how quickly can it underclock and to how low of a TDP.
Everyone says AMD is behind but that's based on a ridiculous comparison. Just do the #1 most important benchmark, speed vs price, and AMD is winning. Yeah, power vs performance comes into play but at least in bang for your buck, they're crushing Intel. It's just like Roundy's with food. If you're almost as good, just price it lower to compensate and everyone will buy your product instead. If Intel wanted to put AMD in some real trouble, they wouldn't have kept the i3-2100 at the same price for 2 years straight.
"that can each process two threads simultaneously"
That is absolutely not how it works. It's been what, 10 years and they're still lying about hyperthreading to make it sound better? Super short summary of how it really works: Every core does 4 things, 1 per cycle. 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 can operate at least 1 clock cycle apart from each other so you can alternate threads using the same core as long as they alternate odd-even like that. So since they're always 1 clock cycle apart, they're not running "simultaneously," especially considering Intel made no effort to simply streamline the same thread to eliminate gaps and load the data in a nonstop stream (for certain types of calculations that are non-dependent on previous results) and approximately double single core performance.
Labeling everything as "terrorist" like a girl that just got a new glittery labelmaker is more of a media and crowd control thing. If they try and label him a terrorist, zero US citizens are going to buy it so that would just cheapen the word. It's not worth the damage. They're just going to call what he did illegal and stick with that. They're also never going to get their hands on him.
I'm not on Facebook, I never have been, and I never will be. I also have the magic ability to translate their legal garbage. Let me see...I think it's pronounced "We want to provide you with the best opportunity to MONEEEEYYYY!!!!!!" but that might be a letter or two off. Considering all circumstances, I believe that means I've done it. I win at Facebook! That's right, it was all an elaborate game that over a hundred million people lost at by being gullible and in denial. But nope, winner here!
This is surprising. Usually nothing is classified as a right via the constitution. I figured they'd say you're perfectly free to get a rowboat and row your ass accross to Canada to fly somewhere. That or just row across the entire ocean.
Mine is a 24 letter memorable phrase with a single number inside it as well. Nobody on Earth can decrypt that and it's written down nowhere. My old bank didn't allow 24 letter passwords (so I assume 16 bit encryption? lol) so I dumped them.
More like a week after a quantum decryption computer with enough quibits is built. Then all encryption certified by governments, spy agencies, etc all goes out the window.
I believe they are:
1. Dicking around at the UN
2. Dicking around at the UN
3. Dicking around at the UN
4. Dicking around at the UN
5. Dicking around at the UN
6. Obama realizes it's his 2nd term and he already ensured no Democrat will win for decades so he bombs them anyway
On the Origin homepage, it says "SimCity Mac is here!" followed by "Great game guarantee." It's almost like they're being sarcastic at this point.
Although, for the record, installing SC2 and SC2 HotS on my roommate's Mac was a disaster that took several hours and it crashes and freezes regularly. Nothing really runs on a Mac because there are even less Apple game programmers than Cobol programmers. They're also not very good at what they do or they'd be using a real language on a real platform. Then there's the fact that Apple hates all 3rd party developers and provides them with almost no support whatsoever because they only want to sell their own software.

I had a customer want a 1000 watt power supply just because. I told him his current PSU was actually a 4x rail one and each rail was 20 amps top and 2 of the rails were not currently in use and were tied off at the bottom of the case. That's also probably why it failed. His graphics card drew too much power on the trails. I got him a split 32/24 amp one.
I think there's some sort of secret meta-game here. They planned it all along. The actual "winning the game" is getting it to run at all and "playing" is all the troubleshooting. It's actually more of a realtime strategy puzzle game than a simulation, that was just the cover. That or EA absolutely sucks.
All SSDs use compression. It's part of why they're so fast. Also, they're quite small. I find it hilarious that a lot even use encryption by default and yet the controller decrypts and spits out the data. There is actually zero encryption then, even if you plug the SSDs into another system.
Over-provisioning already exists on a ton of different SSDs like Samsung and OCZ. Intel didn't invent anything new and the controller's MHz isn't going anywhere, nor would that be a good idea anyway. One flaw in the data and it's goodbye boot drive data integrity. What a useless "catching up" announcement.
So it's a slow news day wherever this was written. It seems they pull this recycled article out of the garbage somewhere every couple months. Yes, we "might" be from Mars. That isn't news. I think I saw a special on it on TV in 1998.
Well, I'm sure the hardcore LARPers are packing their bags already because that sounds so RPG/D&D cliche to me. Get your authentic adventuring rowboat and let's go!
Slashdot Mirror
Only the top left corner of each slashdot story is round though. Don't forget to specify that.

Who said anything about a gain? I looked at 3 respectable benchmarks and overall, this chip is slightly slower than a 4770K.

Over-provisioning doesn't change the temperature and they run at about 2 watts anyway.
