This is LPDDR; Intel and AMD don’t support it. Intel announced support in CannonLake that was supposed to ship in 2016... and still isn’t available to consumers.
LPDDR4 has been standard on ARM devices(phones/tablets) for quite a few years.
4266 is the highest rated LPDDR4 chips in the LPDDR4 spec. Even the Galaxy S9 only uses LPDDR4-3732 (1866MHz). https://www.qualcomm.com/produ...
The MS Surface is a “detachable tablet” and is included in the declining tablet sales numbers in the article.
Apple and Microsofts attempts with detachable tablets are not having a massive impact (yet?).
“The detachable market has failed to see growth in 2018, a worrying trend that has plagued the category off and on since the end of 2016,” IDC research analyst Lauren Guenveur said in a statement.
Microsoft has only really sold the surface in the US and hasn’t shipped enough devices to get near the top of any global sales charts(either as a tablet or PC).
Personally I hate the detachable tablet form factor; it is a clumsy laptop and a heavy tablet.
Crystal oscillators running at low kHz have ~1ppm, but MHz crystals are closer to 50ppm. Crystals that a CPU would use deviate from their designed frequency quite a bit based on temperature. CPUs are generally designed so that variations in frequency expected from normal quartz crystals under normal temperatures don't effect them by giving extra headroom to everything.
You can add protection against this deviation by cutting the crystal into crazy shapes(e.g. a tuning fork pattern), but it makes the crystal more fragile, larger, more expensive, and the crystal can't oscillate as fast.
Extremetech's article seems to be mostly mistaken. Intel's Sunny Peak project that Apple isn't using isn't a 5G modem, it's a WiFi/Bluetooth chipset. https://www.theregister.co.uk/...
The last straw for me was when I realized how many pages were breaking BECAUSE Google was silently redirecting to AMP versions of pages. Google forces all users that it thinks are on iOS or Android to their AMP variants even though there are TONs of bugs on iOS that Google is not fixing.
The nonAMP version of the AMP website works better than the AMP version... Check out how AMP breaks scroll-to-top taps on iOS by stuffing everything in extra iframes. Try scrolling around while zoomed in on iOS... Googleâ(TM)s JavaScript that tries to progressively load content will inevitably screw up and stop you from scrolling far. https://www.google.com/amp/s/w...
This is pretty much how all broadcast TV is tracked. Neilson gives families trackers that listen for signals and then collects them. These psychoacoustic encodings are broadcast every 2.5 seconds. Facebook seems to have patented using a smartphone to do this rather than a dedicated device.
I had a WindowsPhone7 and the live tiles were interesting; but ultimately made the phone harder to use. Either I couldn't get the tile to display something useful or it was hard to find apps because the tile looked too different when it updated.
I also remember getting copy/paste in an update(WindowsPhone 7.2?).
The browser not being WebKit based meant you had completely different issues from Android and iPhone on the web... Technically it was fairly standards compliant; but was a pain in the ass to use.
Slashdot has had some doozies lately. The one about Apple killing âoeDisplayLinkâ was fairly galling. https://m.slashdot.org/story/3...
No mention that âoeDisplayLinkâ has nothing to do with âoeDisplayPortâ and basically hasnâ(TM)t worked on MacOS in the last 5 years. DisplayLinkâs hardware has similar Linux support(e.g. support seems to have stopped). Window still has some issues, but is fairly usable.

Most real-world cases I can think of where people are going to want to use a Windows app are likely to not work.
I donâ(TM)t see how Win10 on ARM fits into a market.
MS canâ(TM)t be expecting real photoshop users on this emulation thingy... It canâ(TM)t be cheaper than Chromebooks... itâ(TM)s not gonna be easier to manage/support than a Chromebook.
When this ships it will be fun to do a head to head comparison on a Chromebook with Wine and whatever MS ships and see how many windows apps work on each.
Amazon has completely given up on the Fire Phone so the Pixel isn't competing with them... search for "google chromecast"... You get a long list of look-alike products(Wecast, ArtPixel...).
Apple hasn't updated the MacBook Air for a couple years (e.g. MacBookAir7,2 is the current model and came out in 2015). Apple isn't good about lowering the price as stuff ages.
3.5" and 5.25" floppies came out in the early 80s at about the same time. 5.25" floppies were slightly cheaper to manufacture but were much easier to destroy. They both replaced 8inch disks, but I've only ever seen two 8 inch floppy drives. 5.25" wasn't really replaced, it just faded away.
Back when the original iMac was released it was unclear what was going to supplant 1.44MB 3.5" floppies(or if Apple had just made a stupid mistake). CD-RWs were the obvious choice, but competing formats were annoying. USB Flash drives were expensive and slow. Many people just got USB Floppy adapters. The arguments against not having 3.5mm jacks on phones are extremely similar to the arguments against not having 3.5inch floppy drives on computers.
I have all these (reformatted AOL disks)/(cheap earbuds) I use to (store files)/(listen to stuff). I don't care if supporting the old standard means you have to make clunky devices, I want to use my old crap to work with the new devices!
The 3.5mm headset jack is more efficient for most headsets available on the market.
No, the current analog headsets are generally less efficient(their efficiency greatly changes depending on what headset is hooked to what source). Audio Device Class 3.0 (ADC 3.0) headsets use less power since the ADC/DAC is balanced to the microphone/speaker and not just specced to some rate so that most speakers work-ish. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobile...
You can buy cheap, power efficient USB-C headphones if you want($5). You can buy Noise-Cancelling USB-C headphones if you want(they don't need batteries like 3.5mm versions). Currently the only headphones that use ADC3.0 "hotword detection" are bluetooth(Google and Apple's earbuds). If you use things like "Hey Siri" or "OK Google", then the power savings are potentially huge with "hotword detection" happening on the earpiece.
The amp/dac for low-impedance headsets are dirt cheap, if you just want to convert all your current headphones that already work on cellphones to USB-C you can find adapters for a couple dollars. https://www.amazon.com/Headpho...
Did you feel the same way about 3.5inch floppy disks? Honestly, the 3.5mm headset jack standard is silly when you are trying to efficiently power headsets(if you don't care about power efficiency it's a fine standard).
The amp soldered into your Nexus5 won't drive most high-impedance headsets, but if you move the amp from your phone into the headset you not only eliminate a bunch of headaches when buying equipment, but you also improve sound quality and power efficiency. http://archimago.blogspot.com/...
