  • Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha No, no, one must not question the master. Nr9 is perfect. Nr9 is all-knowing. Nr9 would never make a mistake in either content or delivery. Any perceived errors in Nr9's posts are strictly due to your own i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar Apart from the fact what you just wrote is contradictory and a non-sequitur the articles specifically state the answer isn't multi-core alone. The problem is every company intends to lower frequencies on launc…

  • Quote: Originally posted by emig647 Are you serious about that statement? How can you attack other posts when yours have been horrid through out this whole thread. Like the above post claims, you have failed to prove any points related to the cre…
  • Quote: Originally posted by AirSluf Ahhh, finally a quote from our esteemed doomsayer! Huzzah! Yes, that was the first quasi-paraphrased paragraph of the second link's article. A rather nice run-in to the rest of the article that illustrates w…

  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 I'm neither defending nor supporting Nr9, I just think he is either misunderstanding something or being mislead. IBM has a problem but I see it as pushing to 90nm to fast and with too little innovation. I…
