Completely Correct. Foundry = foundry technology development, foundry manufacturing and supply chain, and foundry services (formerly IFS). Foundry is around 2/3 of Intel's headcount + 15 fabs + one of the largest supply chains in the world. All that costs crazy money.

Intel has and is continuing to invest 10s of billions just on the fabs in the US. Mod 3 in Hillsboro Oregon is about to be online... that isn't hinging off of any extra tax credit. They have already started work on more fabs (Fab 52 and 62 are being built now.) Intel is pushing...

... Wow sort of shocked about the BS I am reading here. If you think that Intel hasn't long ago hit the panic button and really is just doing the same old things then you know know nothing of the tech industry. Let alone all the management changes at Intel's TD group. They went from Sohail...

Mega, stick to the topic. Intel had another outstanding year. (The had their 4th year of growth, in a "dead" market space where competition has caught up). They are being very honest about where they have gaps/need to work on. And they still are expecting to have another year of growth to...

I assume most of you saw the news, but Intel's quarterly knocked it out of the park. And it looks like they are investing (again) a lot of money into trying to meet customers demands. "Intel has managed to fend off rival Advanced Micro Devices, at least for now. Despite AMD launching...

Most fabs have multiple power sources/lines coming in. Then key equipment is also on uninterupted systems that are supposed to be much better than ups. But somehow they all still manage to fail. Often it turns out to be the switch or something worse. Not the actual power source cutting off...

I fail to see how Intel is trying to "cheat". Heck for the last year + they have been stating they can't build enough to supply all their customers + they are trying to really go big into other growth areas besides just PC cpus. (We will see if growth continues). And for the if TSMC + AMD...

I know of quite a few cases of "world class manufacturing facilities" having lost power.... Usually it isn't the entire fab, but say ~1/3. Even on the uninterrupted lines. (Heck oddly enough the uninterrupted lines seem to have more issues than the regular lines because of all of those fancy...

I pay ~22 bucks a month on it except when I go on big trips and even then I don't really pass 40 bucks. I have the pixel 2 and it has been great for trips to Japan etc. (Nothing needed to be done to make data work etc.)

And then you have to present a ppt you made in open office on a PC that only has MS software. Then it sadly doesn't work fine. Hopefully you didn't use custom characters (ie equations.) The only way you can get around those issues was by making a pdf version. But then you have issues when...

Please re-read what I said... I never ever said I wanted to wait for game reviews. My position is that it would have been a game I bought at first discount. But by pulling this crud it has become a game I have no real interest in. It is the action of pulling it from steam and making it an...

Nope, if it was on Steam I would have bought it the first time it dropped to the ~40 buck range. So they basically are loosing 20-30 bucks off of me.

This isn't really true. For me this move has put it on the wait till I see it at a super discount and can install it on steam (so late 2020?). And that is even if the game becomes game of the year etc. I have to have over 40 games that I have bought and not played much (or at all yet). I...

I am not going to disagree with you that nothing super new in the CPU has come besides catch-up in the core count. I will argue that some of the memory stuff from Intel has been very cool (though not really that profitable for them). Any real product changes takes time for development at...

2018 for Intel was a great year... Q4 was still good just not as good as their twice raised guidance. (And in Q4 they still beat profit expectations, just not revenue...) I know there have been a lot of upper management shake ups while Bob has been the "interim" CEO, so it will be interesting...

I have to agree that this isn't good for the end user. Personally I haven't bothered to even look at fortnight let alone install epics client. I can't say I would have been a day 1 let alone month 1 buyer of Metro Exodus, but I was interested. Now I frankly wont bother till/if it is in a...

Maybe I am missing something how is a 8% YoY quarterly growth equate to failure? I mean I know Intel stock goes down even when they meet expectations, but going from a ~62B to >70B per year revenue and the stock is nearly flat compared to last year. Personally I completely disagree with the...

Have you figured out a way to keep things "deleted" because they always like to reinstall and just keeping 7 pcs in the state I want has become more work than windows update seems to be worth to me... I only run 1 windows 7 machine at this point, but it likely will stay that way till the...

More like pay 15 bucks for every ~10 hrs of grinding. At your ratio it would make sense for everyone to just pay the extra 5 bucks, and we can't have that can we ;-) Course soon they will start charging you 15 buck monthly subscription fees to be able to play in monthly playoffs etc. Not to...

Obviously you didn't bother watching this vid. All in all it was a good anlysis, and the only % I heard him guessing at here was that the 2080 would be ~40% better and not to expect 50% unless you basically are running in the realm that the 1080 struggles in. (note that realm is likely where...

That is going to be a long wait but if I had a 1080Ti I would make the same call till I saw reviews. If we are lucky 2020 will be a fun year. (Just hope they take Intel/AMD serious and do more than just a die shrink + memory upgrade.)

I think you forget... Everything that is the "first of its kind" is always has a huge mark up. Just think of it this way. Would you be willing to buy a Ti Card for 300 bucks more knowing that you will be able to enjoy it for 1 year extra before it would have been released? AMD/Intel will at...

Why do you assume all of us already have a 1080 ti? Personally I see it as I bought a titan X (Pascal) ~2 years ago, and I have been biting at the bit for an upgrade. You know it will be better than the Titan Xp, let alone the 1080 ti. Likely not >30% better, but still this seems like a good...

Usually they have to have at least one of the "tool" PC connected to some network for communicating what wafers should be runing what jobs and they send over some other key info often passed as txt files + whatever else depending on what the tool is. It obviously gets very complicated, but...

Thanks for your take on the monitor. I can appreciate that this is one of (if not the) best 27" monitors out there. But I have to agree with the other folks. Paying 2k for a monitor that at best has shoddy assembly is a huge warning flag for me. (I am still dealing with Microsofts flagship...

Quantum effects have been around for a long time. Why do you think we even have multi gates? And small scale = quantum no real difference ;-)

I had great responses with old microsoft mice. (I just had to call and they would send me a new one that would arrive basically next day.) But with my recent yellow screen issues on my Microsoft Surface Book... While everyone I talk to is nice they wont do anything for a well known...

At what cost? (court + getting how many customers to complain about it etc...) Every single battle that folks fight for NN seems to always end up giving ground. Remember when we didn't have data caps... (yes I know that isn't covered with NN) Now I don't have a single ISP in my area without...

While I didn't build it for just 1 game. The first game I got for it was Quake 2. P2 233, with dual voodoo 2s. It was a beast. I can't remember memory/HD sizes anymore, gone through so many at this point. I think these threads are just designed to make folks feel old ;-)

There is a good reason why most business schools require there students to read The Art of War.

You don't read very well. It states multiple times that the memory/drives/OS aren't included. And I think they are the first to actually try to make a similar build: "Intel sells the NUC8i7HVK as a barebones unit without storage, memory, or an operating system pre-installed for $999. That's a...

It all depends... I have a friend that leases a leaf for less than 200 a month. He charges it at work for free. (Gets the good parking spaces too because of it...) Sure you don't have it for resale, but you also don't have to worry about replacing the battery. (That said I own a Mx-5 and...

Agreed, there were a lot of wows murmured in my office while watching it too. There was some great engineering in this launch.

If you want smooth motion for Doom VR, just get Doom VFL.

You don't have to teleport. You can strafe if you want. I just find strafing causes my stomach to churn after doing it too fast. That said you can't really jump out of the way of attacks fast enough, so you either have to teleport a lot, or strafe. Also things go so fast that you sort of...

I got to agree with most of the folks concerning motion sickness. I can play any room scale game + blinking without an issue. But the instant I start any game where you are suppose to be "sudo" walking I am sick in ~5 min. (Last one I tried was lucky's tale.) Blinking works great if it is...

I don't follow your logic. Last I looked an 6950x OC to ~4.2 to 4.3. That is 10 cores... update to the next process I would expect to hit ~4.4 and at least this report shows turbo 3 hitting 4.5. One is happy to get an 8 core Ryzen get over 4 ghz. So what are you going on about? Sure these...

Not saying I don't want to know what the eventual performance we would achieve of a given product, but when did we start waiting for patches on Hardware weeks after it is being sold resale to make a call on if it is good compared to the competition?
