One big part of the story that isn't being reported here is that Altera doesn't make chips for smartphones and tablets. They make FPGAs. The story is that Intel will manufacture Altera FPGAs (based on ARM technology). The story here unfortunate…

I agree with other comments about the possibilities of this technology. Do we know whether there is anything NEW in the M7? Any new capability that isn't there in the iPhone 5? Sounds like only thing enhancement is increased battery life (M7 run…

What is the point of Windows RT? It's one thing if Microsoft wanted to create a new tablet operating system with their mainstream Windows 8, but what's the point of creating a separate Windows RT? What can it do that Windows 8 cannot do? T…

I don't buy this either. If you're Apple, you look at two things when you want to buy chips. First, the quality of the chips themselves (performance, power, features, etc.), and second, what is the chip maker's ability to actually manufacture those…

A lot of people say that the Ultrabooks are an attack on Apple and the MacBook Air, but I disagree. First, remember that Intel is inside the MacBook Air. Apple stands to benefit if Intel makes an even better microprocessor that was designed specif…
