This is satire, right?

Intel must have provided references designs for usb controllers for each standard right? From that point, designing a new controller in a year doesn't sound very unbelievable at all.

This takes the cake for most passive aggressive op-ed piece I've heard in a while. People that use crowd sourcing sites like Kickstarter have all the information they need to decide whether or not they will BACK a project. MOST people understand that they are not buying a product, that there are...

I backed (and received) this and I have a WRT610N v2 router, which was running dd-wrt. I liked the idea and already I think the ability to set up multiple networks with different security and bandwidth allocation is useful. I don't know if it was the best price possible, but I had been waiting...

ARM doesn't manufacture chips, they license IP. You don't get high efficiency by "not doing much". It's measured by stuff like dMIPS/watt and MIPS/watt. ARM processor performance is still going up at a faster rate than intel, while decreasing in power. Creating processors that are capable of...

will any of the RoG mobos have soldered haswell chips?

"What practice application will this serve in a desktop that a video card cannot do?" GPUs have much smaller "instruction sets" if you will, and cannot trace out solutions through iteration, or have large amounts of core specific local memory (state variables, flags, etc). With GPUs you tend to...

Putting them in RAID0 doubles your chance of data failure, aka either drive fails and you probably lose everything.

If you are building it right now, you will have more confidence going with Ivy Bridge. Haswell motherboards, especially feature-rich ones, have not been tested/used much and there is always a risk they have bugs (still relatively low risk). Performance differences will matter less depending on...

OUYA will be able to leverage success from previous generation to build higher performance ASICs that maximize the performance they are looking for in their system, all while keeping the ecosystem extremely appealing to developers. It is understandable that the first generation doesn't have...

Do you have 2 sticks of 4GB RAM? If so try inserting one at a time. Check the RAM settings in the BIOS to the default.

At some point SNR defeats the purpose of having more pixels. Eventually you need to get more out of your optical assembly, which is rather limited due to its small size (on smartphones)

will there be a selection of high end i5/i7 Haswell chips without an IGP? From an enthusiast standpoint it seems like that part of the chip would be a waste.

They need to ask themselves why the surface is selling so badly, especially if the surface pro doesn't do much better.

I can't believe this passes for tech news.
