article clever computer computing faith history industry pc people performance says software somewhere thinking
There are 25 years of PC industry and 40 years of computer industry history that says there is never enough performance. My article in faith is that you will never have enough computing performance for things you want to do. Having said that, there are clever software people somewhere who are thinking of even cleverer things to do.
based certainly creative customer employees goes number software
He certainly goes for unconventional, creative approaches, like licensing Sun's software based on the number of employees that a customer had. So in that regard, I'm optimistic.
almost architecture macintosh ran separate software windows
These different firmware environments will separate OS X and Windows environments almost as effectively as instruction set architecture did when Macintosh software ran only on PowerPC chips.
architecture brings companies evolved few fewer focused high impressive less low performance power software using
Even two years out, I think what P.A. Semi brings out will be impressive because very few companies have focused on high performance and low power for less heat, and fewer still have focused on using the PowerPC architecture with all the software that's evolved for that.
chip decided dynamite forward larger performance reasons
Tualatin is a dynamite server chip. One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.

quarter soon trouble
As soon as you let up, even for a quarter or two, you're in trouble.
benefits increasing intel original performance quite theory work
The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.
architecture lose market share survive time
I don't know that Apple's market share can survive another architecture shift. Every time they do this, they lose more customers.
amount months
I would say 18 months is not an unreasonable amount of time.
based december forecast four intel mid quarter shock slam weeks
Based on what Intel said in December in their mid quarter update, they should know what's going on, so it's a real shock when they can't forecast four weeks in advance. That should be a slam dunk.
cases close definitely expectation gap narrow products
My expectation is that Intel's new products are definitely going to narrow the gap with AMD, and in some cases may even close the gap.
number performance rather
Multi-core is the new megahertz. If you want more performance rather than ramping up the megahertz, now it's all about ramping up the number of cores.
address variety
PIC does a lot of different things. It does address a variety of needs.
