  • AnandTech | Apple’s Cyclone Microarchitecture Detailed

    So for now, Cyclone’s performance is really used to exploit race to sleep and get the device into a low power state as quickly as possible. via AnandTech | Apple’s Cyclone Microarchitecture Detailed. Race to sleep, is the new, new thing for mobile cpus. Power conservation at a given clock speed is all done through…

  • SSDs are a Short-Term Phenomenon | EE Times

    This makes perfect sense. In 2011, Objective Analysis published a report (How PC NAND Will Undermine DRAM) that found, through nearly 300 benchmarks, that a dollar’s worth of flash yielded a bigger performance boost than a dollar’s worth of DRAM, once some minimum DRAM requirement was met. This minimum level was actually relatively low —…

  • The Lytro Illum Is Where Light Field Technology Meets Real Photography

    Interesting revision of this Lytro technology. Reminds me a little bit of the Black Magic Cinema camera with it’s funny shaped body design. I remember the initial breathless reports about how earth-shaking this multi-lens camera was going to be. After that, never saw a shipping product or an actual review per se. I think maybe…

  • Jaunt – Meet the Crazy Camera That Can Make Movies for the Oculus Rift (Jordan Kushins-Gizmodo)

    If Facebook buying Oculus for a cool $2 billion is a step towards democratizing the currently-niche platform, Jaunt seems like an equally monumental step towards making awesome virtual reality content that appeals to folks beyond the gaming community.

  • What’s Inside a USB Isolator?

    Decapping a computer chip is a toxic, non-trivial task. However what’s revealed underneath the plastic capping material will amaze you. Especially the sizes of the chips. We’re talking millimeters, sometimes fractions of a millimeter on a side for very simple functions. In this example, a USB isolator chip from Analog Devices is decapped and examined…

  • Xilinx Introduces SDNet & ‘Softly’ Defined Networks | EE Times

    It’s not often that you see something that makes you think “this is a game changer.” The introduction of logic synthesis circa 1990 was one such event; today’s introduction of SDNet from Xilinx may well be another. via Xilinx Introduces SDNet & ‘Softly’ Defined Networks | EE Times. Cisco has used different RISC chips over…

  • The P in P2P is People

    Thali sounds like an amazing non-cloud centric enabling technology. And would be well worth the price of admission to use it. I cannot tell you how many times I remind friends when they complain about Facebook, that they are the product not Facebook. Thali makes each person their data center cloud with full rights to…

  • Nvidia Pulls off ‘Industrial Light and Magic’-Like Tools | EE Times

    The president of VMware said after seeing it (and not knowing what he was seeing), “Wow, what movie is that?” And that’s what it’s all about — dispersion of disbelief. You’ve heard me talk about this before, and we’re almost there. I famously predicted at a prestigious event three years ago that by 2015 there…
