> From software industry / programming industry / web framework prominent figures, yes all the software guys all apparently have ZERO understanding about hardware. Which websites give me a better understanding? Anandtech, website mentioned above and what more?

As a newbie the youtube channel Asianometry is very good but don't trust me too much

I actually have a half finished blog post on the subject ( Specifically intended for HN ) but here are some links. - Anandtech. - Servethehome - SemiWiki - WikiChip - Asianometry - Patrick Moorhead on Twitter and Forbes - Realworldtech - Beyond3D - Semiengineering - Wikipedia ( Yeah ) - TechTechPotato from Dr. Ian Cutress who used to work in Anandtech. Arguably the guy who picked up from Anand. - And recently, ChipandCheese That is about 100 hours of reading. You dont need to drill into every single topic. But just continue to read and find answer within these site. The single common theme on these links is that they are all business / industry related. i.e They will provide the "why" some companies are doing certain things. And in real world engineering it is all about trade-offs. They also have their own set of bias, SemiEngineeing likes to bump up cost of certain tools and cost of making chips. Patrick Moorhead tends to be American bias and may not be the best source for Pure Play Foundry Business. Asianometry is somewhat China bias. SemiWiki is too optimistic on certain things ( Which is why I won the bet Samsung Foundry wont compete with TSMC by 2020 or 2023 ). Realworldtech is somewhat pro ARM according to many who hates ARM. ( You be your own judge ) ServetheHome is Server focus. Beyond3D is no longer updated but an very old gold mine for GPU related topics. But once you gain enough knowledge within a year or two, you should find 99.999999% of information or so called rumours on the Internet are just pure BS. And yes, nearly every single links above, those authors who I follow they all visit HN regularly. They just dont comment much. So if you know where on HN to look the 1% of HN comments are still absolute gold.
