Out-of-the-Box Computing The Mill general purpose CPU architecture

I remember looking at this a few months ago, and I wasn't impressed, although I can't remember the details any more. I do remember being annoyed at how long it took to get to meaningful details beyond "the belt solves everything and I'll talk about the belt later" - to the point where it felt...

did I break touchpad screen?

You can try popping the screen off, separating the front panel from the LCD, and reassembling it. I took mine apart a while back to replace the power button, though I didn't have to disassemble the LCD. It took a lot of force to open, and I broke a bunch of the clips in the process but it...

What's the Cheapest Wireless Plan for iPad

How are you using 11GB/month? You're not doing that with emails... is it possible you're reading the amount of space used on your phone/tablet instead of the monthly data consumption?

HDL languages and Synthesis discussion

What would you use them (or other high-level language features) for, in a hardware world? My perspective is likely warped by my experience (I have a hammer, and I've been turning things into nails for years, so the value of a screwdriver doesn't immediately jump out at me)... I might be missing...

AMD ICE/Debug-mode code?

You're looking for undocumented AMD MSRs? Did anyone ever come up with a use for them?

AMD Opens New Global Design Centre in Hyderabad

Bobcat and Jaguar were both primarily designed in Austin, with portions of each designed in Fort Collins. The India teams did mainly SOC integration (Ontario/Zacate, etc). Is this just an announcement of new physical facilities? I thought AMD had a team in Hyderabad ever since the ATI...

How does the Turing Machine form the basis of our computers?

I don't think that's really correct. The IBM System 360 was from 1964, and as far as I can tell, it is much closer to a modern computer than a Turing machine. The Universal Turing machine Wikipedia article contains this quote from the mid 1950s: So, I don't believe your statement is...

How does the Turing Machine form the basis of our computers?

Starting with something as abstract as a Turing machine can actually be a very difficult way to learn how computers work. Do you know any programming languages (even BASIC or JavaScript will do)? If not, I think it's easier to learn a simple programming language (for example, write a program...

Is this a good gaming laptop?

No, that computer is much too slow for gaming. AMD's E-series and C-series processors are designed for very low power consumption (good for battery life) and low cost, but they aren't very fast. I have a laptop with an E-350 processor (a much faster version of the C-50 chip in that laptop) and...

First Steamroller processor core exposure

I actually respect my NDAs, so I usually can't give specific technical information. Fortunately, Exophase did a good job refuting the pure, unadulterated BS in the post I'd quoted.

First Steamroller processor core exposure

Do you just make this stuff up? I've seen posts where you state things as fact that I know are completely wrong, and occasionally bits of accurate information are sprinkled in... but you state them all as if they're verified fact. And you never cite sources. It's incredibly annoying. While...

AnTuTu and Intel

Someone is trying to improve the performance of a future CPU. CPUs are very complicated, and you have to pick and choose which things you make fast (if you try making everything fast, your CPU will be too expensive and use batteries too quickly). To pick the right parts to make fast, you need...

First Steamroller processor core exposure

In practice, you leverage things that make sense to leverage, and redo things that make sense to redo (of course you also encounter into some not-invented-here or want-to-redo-but-don't-have-time). Sometimes you can't even tell from an external presentation which components get leveraged and...
