He said 'uhh' 137 times in 589 seconds. That's some pretty poor public speaking skill. I thought to pass 10th grade speech class you had to make it through the whole presentation without saying 'uhh'.
I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe will own them.
@pegisysI think the anti-competive fear is for the GPU market. will ATI still make GPU's for intel systems? what about the crossfire chipsets (not sure of they do now)?Will ATI still be able to compete well with nVidia? I hope so, but i don't know
as I said, it was only 2 gpu makers for the high end gaming market but there are plenty other gpu makers. AMD buying ATI is not enough for the SEC to get involved, I doubt they care that much about gaming anywayand AMD has always competed with Intel on the highend, and has been dediacated to gaming, I don't know why anyone is afraid they will not take on Nvidia in the GPU marketabout the chipsets your guess is as good as mine, but they did say they are going to keep the standards open, and they opened specs on their technology in the past, so for now I believe them
He needs some defense. I would give him the Sen. Stevens award. " So, um, we are going to move the building blocks around, um 8 cores, well not yet, um" That sounds a lot like "It's tubes, lot's of tubes."
