[QUOTE=wizard69;2071955]Since when is the first generation of anything a top performer. The fact is you will never get those sort of rates if you don't transition to a new interface at some point in time.[quote] Isn't the first generation of …

No. The only way Apple is changing the 2012 iPad is if there is some country with a large existing LTE market. Finland isn't it. South Korea probably doesn't make the cut either. So, what you see is what you get for the 2012 model year. On the…

Wow, the performance gains almost are in underwhelming. 5 to 15%? The only saving grace is that it is 5 to 15% with a 20% power reduction. But these are the high end desktop processors that Anand has. Not really suitable for iMacs. Wonder how the 17…

Basically, every single Mac update is dependent on Intel's release schedule. So, for Mac mini (8 months old), iMac (10 months old), MBP (12 months old, I don't consider the Fall update as significant enough), & MBA (8 months old), they won't be …

How do you know the A5x is a 45 nm part?
