I'm sure that Intel will happily let AMD do all the heavy lifting and then just license the tech when it becomes ready for prime time. If AMD can get just a couple of killer apps out of its' HSA initiative efforts they stand a decent chance to once again be the tail that wags the dog.
When TeX was new people were not accustomed to seeing well type set documents unless they came from a legitimate publisher. I wrote several college papers in TeX and I think the presentation let me get a few mistakes past my teachers. I've not seen anything better for formulas - even today TeX documents have a more polished feel to them.
There Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is pretty innovative stuff. If AMD is successful this will change the way software is written and move us to a more parallel world.
I'm looking forward to the Higgs weight loss method - a dietary supplement that rids your body of excess Higgs Bosons and helps you lose weight! This is a wonderful opportunity for pseudo-science.
The HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) Foundation is a not-for-profit consortium for SoC IP vendors, OEMs, academia, SoC vendors, OSVs and ISVs whose goal is to make it easy to program for parallel computing. HSA members are building a heterogeneous compute ecosystem, rooted in industry standards, for combining scalar processing on the CPU with parallel processing on the GPU while enabling high bandwidth access to memory and high application performance at low power consumption. HSA defines interfaces for parallel computation utilizing CPU, GPU and other programmable and fixed function devices, and support for a diverse set of high-level programming languages, thereby creating the next foundation in general purpose computing.

Members of the HSA Foundation plan to deliver robust development solutions for heterogeneous compute to drive innovative content and applications with developer tools, software developer kits (SDKs), libraries, documentation, training, support and more.
Basically they are going to maintain a set of open standards for platforms that allow programmers to integrate code that runs on the GPU with code that runs on the CPU's.
It's true - TV's were relatively expensive 25 years ago. If you bought a good one it would easily last that long. If you paid extra - you got a sharper picture, a bigger screen, and more longevity - maybe a nicer cabinet. They didn't come with Pandora, or computers or wireless network adapters. They keep doing what TVs do - not much reason to replace them.
Nome does have motor vehicles - no polar bears. At ~3500 people it is the largest city for over a thousand miles radius. It is not connected by road to Fairbanks or Anchorage.
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So the value of dollar went down by over factor of 5 since 1971.
In 1971 the US Dollar was pegged to gold at $35 per Oz Its ~$1700 today. I don't remember exactly when during the Nixon administraion the US decoupled the dollar from gold but I think it was after the election in 1972. At any rate an oz of gold would about buy a 4004 in 1971 and a ~3.5GHz 6-core Xeon today.
I used to refer to them collectively as Borders and Noble - But Borders has been losing ground for a long time.
Your color nook will probably be obsolete by the time Barn & Noble auger in.
In this case the DDR3 memory standard is just fine for Bulldozer and AMD just upped the HT speed between the CPU and the 800 series chip sets. Most of the platform change is happening inside the CPU or the 900 series chips.
I believe the article is not correct on this point - the old AM3 sockes have 1 less hole than the new AM3b sockets. The old AM3 chips fit the new socket just fine - they just don't have a pin in the new hole. The new Chips won't fit into the old AM3 sockets because they will have one pin with no hole to go into.
Its for people that are looking at buying now. Real soon now you will be able to buy AMD motherboards with AM3b sockets on them. These boards will run current AMD socket 3 CPU's. They promise there will be a BIOS patch so that these boards will run Bulldozer CPU's when they come out. That way they can sell equipment to fence sitters that might otherwise wait until June when Bulldozer comes out.
This article does not imply that you can run Bulldozers on your current board (for 99.999% of you).

I'd be willing to bet he's counting virtual servers as servers.
Are we sure it was DDoS and wasn't the Goons all trying to log on en masse.

Being 1/50th the size it will be welcome on mobile devices. Not sure that its a good thing for your gaming desktop.
I'm interested to see how they portray the Goons on TV.

Hold on now, I have uncontestable proof that God has eff'ed me over many times.
Mary, don't exaggerate; it was just the one time.
Chip 'n Dale - they are in Pluto's cartoon world "orbit"
AMD announced today that they would have a message clarifying this. Apparently these rumors are not all true.

I saw the Apollo capsule in the Smithsonian - I couldn't spent 15 minutes in one of those let alone go to the moon and back.

The Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is paid by the state. The amount varies year by year. It has been ~ $1200 for the last few years.

Better let me investigate those Objects Infinately Delectable; it might be a trap.
Does that mean you'll be first on your block to "friend" Homeland Security?
