Most of the time you just display text with no transforms and the times when you do want transformed you don't need it pixel perfect (for example, during a rotation transition effect, the user will hardly notice pixel imperfections while the text is rotating)
A 5W chip producing 360 gflops. To put that into persective a GeForce 730M, which has the same architecture, but twice as many cores and rated at 556.8 GFLOPS, is a 33W part. So basically, Nvidia have made Kepler 4 times more efficient with no architecture changes. What magic did they use?
I can't think of any case where templates would be needed in a graphics library. That's just going to make the code more cryptic and harder to understand.
According to the article the problem only happens at start-up for about an hour and then stops. So, if you never restart, only shutting down the PC via hibernation you will never see the problem.
Mars One is a very successful enterprise. It's goal was never to actually get to Mars, but to gain publicity by playing on the public's naivity and need to dream about space travel.
I've always said it, but now we have it from a noble prize winner "He has never been tempted to buy a television, but was persuaded to watch The Big Bang Theory last year, and said he wasn't impressed."
Games will almost certainly make use of uniform memory for loading textures faster. That feature will make it much easier to implement "mega-textures".
Kavari looks good for a budget gaming PC, but I think they are being a bit optimistic about the "dual graphics" feature. This is where you pair the iGPU with a dGPU, to get better performance. AMD has never been able to get this feature to work properly. All it does is create "runt" frames, which makes the FPS look higher, but without giving any visual improvement.
The eDRAM in the Iris pro is quite expensive to manufacture and hence, Intel charges a premium for it. The Core i7-4770R for instance, is listed at $392.00.
No, the repairs will take a considerable amount of time. If you knew anything about radiation effects on humans you would know of the Linear no-threshold model - it predicts that exposing a huge portion of world population to small amounts of radiation is guarateed to have some health effects. It's estimated 300 tons of toxic water enter the ocean each day from Fukusima. Only an idiot would say that you can dump that into the environment without any consequences.
I find it hilarious that they are trying to benchmark CPUs using javascript on *different* browsers. Do they not realise that the javascript performance of Chrome is radically different than Safari?
I have a project on Sourceforge and it just uses it's own installer (Nullsoft). So, I would assume that you have a choice to use the adware installer, or not if you don't want to.
The GUI is obviously seperate to the actual drivers, so it could easily be ported - at least they would have that option open to them. And they could have developed just as fast using using c++ and QT. Considering they are writing drivers, I can't imagine them not having skilled c++ developers available.

Maybe they should start with the server version though, since AMD currently have no server with 24 steamroller cores.

While the GPU is good, the Kaveri CPU is slightly slower than Richland in the benchmarks - after 4 years of waiting that's a big disappointment.

It's basically a performance bug built into XP. It'll slow down your machine even if you don't need any updates

That case had nothing to do with patent trolls.
> European Government actually does something about patent trolls.
Yeah, right. A warning carries a lot of weight.

You're wrong. Fukushima is still leaking fissile material into the sea: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/25/world/asia/with-a-plants-tainted-water-still-flowing-no-end-to-environmental-fears.html?_r=0
mantle won't appear in battlfield 4 until next, but it'll be very interesting to see how it benefits performance

That's a pretty big disappointment. We were led to believe that it would flex 180Â like in this picture: http://tech.infaround.com/2013/04/25/lg-to-unveil-new-smartphone-with-flexible-oled-display-later-this-year/
If you install a dozen of these drives in your system, will it start floating?
Apparently, the origonal version they programmed the Marvell Wifi chip wrong, so it didn't go into power save mode and now they fixed it
