It's a design flaw using the touch screen as shuttle button, rather than a dedicated button on the edge of the phone. It means you can't take pictures one handed. Also, pushing the screen causes the camera to move slightly giving blurry photos.
The report says most of the decline is from the collapse of the mini notebook market. AMD's main competitive product these days is it's Brazos and Kabini APUs. It's high end Richland/Pildriver CPUs are not selling at all.
From the article: "While TSMC wrestles with 28nm and looking to 20nm, Intel is at 22nm now and moving to 14nm for next year. " TSMC's 28nm process is, in fact, widely considered a big success. Although it didn't ramp up initially, quite as a fast as their customers wanted, that only lasted a few months at start of 2012. Look a bit closer you see changing nodes has problems for all manufactures (even Intel). 20nm is in fact ahead of schedule. The likes of Altera are going to have to wait 2 years before they start producing chips on Intel's 16 nm process. While Apple will have 20nm early next year.

Why do I want to know that? I actually have work to do.

This is how viewing the web with noscript works out in the real world: 1) webpage does display properly -> make exception to allow scripts on this site 2) webpage still does display properly, because it needs scripts from a second domain -> make exception to allow scripts on the second domain 3) webpage still does display properly, because the scripts from the second domain load scripts from a third domain -> make exception to allow scripts from the third domain.... 49)... finally the web page loads properly... now repeat all 49 steps for every web site that you go to
Think about it. If they license Kepler patents to a third party SoC developer, then that company will be directly competing against their own Tegra 5 chip. So, the only way it make sense is if they are canceling the Tegra 5 project.
This is a popular myth, that Intel must keep AMD around, otherwise it will be broken up by the goverment, or something. In fact, there is nothing illegal about having a monopoly in itself. What is illegal is certain business practices carried out by monopolies. Intel does not help AMD in any way. In fact, it wants 100% of x86 market. You can see this by the way it is now going after the lower end of the market with Silvermont based Celerons.
At least the desktop version. Runs hotter than Ivy Bridge and has worse overclocking 10% more power consumption, with only 13% speed increase. Every other generation of Intel got a speed increase with at least the same, or less power consumption
The GT3e only is available on 3 48W TDP models and at a very high price. AMD doesn't make any mobile APU at this TDP or price. What will be more interesting is a comparison between GT3 and Richland.
Look at Newegg, the cheapest laptop with Core i3 3271u is $534.99, while laptops with Brazos are typically $400 or under (Kabini replaces Brazos, so I would say the price will be the same)
None of the benchmarks have made an apples to apples comparision. Either they compare a 35W Pentium to the 15W Kabini, or it's an expensive Core i3/i5. Core i3-3217U only appears in laptops costing more than $500. Kabini replaces Brazos which typically appears in cheap (sub $400) laptops.

so far:
TSMC to make Apple chips
GlobalFoundries to make Apple chips
Apple to buy it's own foundry
and now Samsung to make Apple chips

In fairness to AnTuTu they released a new version which tries to rectify the problem:

Some guy on the Anandtech forums analysed the AnTuTu code and found that it indeed had been tweeked to favor x86 processors:

I understood Apple is going straight to 20mn at TSMC - skipping 28nm completely

You realise if the pull this off technically Costa Rica will become an island.

Unfortunately, it's only available on a handful of models. I doubt any software developer is going to use it until it becomes more widepread.

Actually, it is a mistake. They are using 28 nm. More details here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-hardware-and-specs/
As far as I know AMD don't make 40, or 45 nm parts anymore.
The article says the SoC is 40-nanometer. Is that a mistake?
Whoever submitted this story got it wrong. The article specifically says that it's *not* GCN 1.1, (unlike the HD 7790) - it's just a shameless rebadge
