Assuming there will be a mSATA slot available (to plug in a 1TB SSD) and a PCIe interconnect to do SMP with the 32-core 64-bit ARM system I see in my future. And to drive an external GPU for the big-ass display of course.
Back in the day the evil commercial industry saved me from the ivory tower I was heading for. Now if there's much less demand for university trained (not yet|post) docs what do you get?
Moore's law was about a one node shrink every 18 months, meaning a reduction in structure sizes by sqrt(2), i.e. twice the number of transistors at the same die size. The reduction in size meant a reduction in gate thickness and operating voltage by sqrt(2) and a reduction of capacitances by a factor of two. Those allowed an increase in clock speed of sqrt(2) at constant power. None of that is happening any more.

There are only a few Snapdragon SBCs from Inforce. But that'll change as ARM mini-PCs take more market share.
Yeah that's pretty useless for a phone. But I'd looove this tech in the next set of large monitors for my multimonitor setup.
Then all you have to do is enable Javascript to make Facebook work.
Selection: OS X or Windows. Yay!

How much money did I take from the RIAA and MPAA by downloading?
if you want a conservative monoculture.
"We were unable to refactor our code to use all cores so we suck, but we found a scapegoat!"

If your English wasn't so atrocious I might upvote you.
Come on, installing Linux doesn't take that long.
The same can be said for any file server and workstation. I still don't understand why ECC is so unpopular.
Hmm, does it get faster on a bigger CPU? 8x3TB gives you 500-600 MB/s with a HW RAID6.
"Up to x% better" means the same as "less than x% better."
Well as long they have little competition why should they push anything?
I can only hope that AMD and TSMC or GloFo will do something about that.
Some experts say it's because shale gas expanded too fast so that a glut depressed the price and nobody made money any more.
Oh no, a voice of reason!
> Natural gas in the US has more than that
The question is at what price - just like for tight oil.

Moore's law has run out of steam. Yay!
Meh. No BitCountFactory class?
Exactly. NT3 was cool, NT4 was turned into Windows and hid the WNT foundation as much as possible. And put the graphics in ring 0, shudder.
Obviously.
