Pretty much. CPU clock based timing stopped being a thing after the first gen of 3D consoles.

If a drive is defective, it'll fail earlier? Who knew? That aside, the report is flawed. It only mentions which brands fail the earliest and worst, but not total failure counts. This same site has posted articles showing Hitachi/HGST drives are among the most reliable on the market. Not many...

At the sacrifice of overall speed and endurance.

As an owner of an Xperia Z3 compact, I can safely say that Sony's biggest mistake in mobile is their lack of marketing. Almost uncontested battery life, water proof, front-facing stereo speakers, great camera, etc... All in a package that very comfortably fits in one hand or your pocket. They've...

We've had the same speeds on Time Warner in our area for the past 7 years. It would definitely be nice to see a change.

It's not meant to be the Z4 Compact, as the A series phones are carrier-specific models. In this case, it's a slightly redesigned Z3C, but otherwise has the same specifications.

As a quick note, the i7 4720HQ has an operating frequency of 2.6GHz/3.6GHz, not 2.5GHz/3.6GHz.

Still waiting for Time Warner in my area (Southern California desert cities area) to raise their speeds. But since it's a competition between only two major providers (Verizon and TWC), I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Still stuck on the 15Mbps down/1Mbps up plan. My phone...

The typical 'top speed' of the A53 core on 20nm is 1.7GHz (you often see 4@1.2GHz x 4@1.7GHz A53 cpu configurations). So the slight bump to 2GHz using 16nm is not that drastic. This was actually a nice idea for cost, performance and power ratios.

It passed pretty quickly, but this change did not come soon enough if you ask me. But hopefully we'll start seeing drastic improvements from here on out. I'm just wondering how long it'll actually take for ISPs to start taking action with these new rules and regulations.

Read more carefully. They said the "G3 Screen", which is different from the typical G3: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_screen-6750.php

I see it more likely that they may use their own chips for some initial GS6 shipments, but switch over to the modified Snapdragon 810 when it's available to them. The performance of the 810 would still be a bit above Samsung's own offering.

The screen is anything but tiny. It may be "only 4.5 inches", but remember this is a 1:1 aspect ratio screen, and they measure the size diagonally. That puts it in the same league as phablets, width-wise. The Passport body is over 90mm wide, while the Note 4 body is under 79mm wide. It also has...

Based on the clock speed and pricing, I'd guess it's based on the Snapdragon 400/410.

YouTube had 60fps support for a period of time in 2008 before they removed the feature. So I'm not sure why they require Chrome to make it work again.
