I'm actually thinking Adapteva has a lot of future in present areas of growth. 1) On the mobile side, you can have Epiphany, their compute fabric, as a unit directly on the mobile SoC. You can do codec offload, like WebP, WebM, SILK/Opus. Y

Well, you should read it. :) Anand does make a comparison to the mobile space, I presume alluding to the disruption that was the iPhone. I don't think it's a valid point of comparison. First, you have Job's shrewdly negotiating Verizon and

Well, I'm not speaking to cultural norms or "repression". I should have been clearer. If you, the abstract you, wants monogamy, you ought to seek it out and negotiate the situations that arise. Monogamy itself is a perfectly valid "need and

I feel Intel is going to make the mistake of taking their datacenter advantage for granted. They should be doing everything to cement that advantage instead of an unnecessary focus on mobile, by which I mean the present ARM space of smartph
