Was this headline changed?
I thought it referenced AMD originally?
- minsight 10y agoThe AMD news is on the second page. Changing the title here to match that of the linked article, while in keeping with HNpolicy, has ruined the utility of the link.
- LeifCarrotson 10y agoYes, it originally linked to the second page of this article, which is subtitled "Zen squeezes x86 area and power" and has a completely different topic. The HN submission received the editorialized title "AMD Zen core is 10% smaller than Intel's current gen, and has 2x larger L2" which is why the top comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13642442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13642442) references AMD as the focus of the article. Like EETimes articles (and to be fair, they're not alone in the practice), this article is basically just a collation of manufacturer press releases. To hammer this point home, or perhaps to reach a 500 word target, the author concludes by discussing a new Mediatek mobile SOC completely unrelated to either Intel's FPGAs on page 1 or the AMD Zen cores on the top half of page 2.
