Intel always leading the way. I wish the could buy Toshiba Memory division up for sale. Who so ever cement that deal will na strong challenger.
With quantum computing not far away, we are about to witness a whole new shift.

But it baffles me why Intel still sit on Cryptocurrencies mining hardware sideline, allowing AMD and NVIDIA take all the spoils
They seem to have hung their towel in the GPU scene which powers Cryptocurrencies. The teamed up with AMD to integrate their processors with AMDs graphic units.
Iris Pro integrated GPUs was kind of "linked" with Nvidia technologies. If they decide to go solo, they will be paying royalties to either AMD or Nvidia.

The mining space is between Nvidia (which offers more performance at the expense of power and cost) and AMD (which offer better performance per watt and at lower cost).

They even have the issue in the mobile space, they will have to pay not only ARM but either Qualcomm, Nvidia (with Tegra), Exynos, Mediatek etc. to use even the tiniest bit of design method since almost all has been patented.

Intel has resorted to focusing on PC processors, cloud computing and of recent, self driving tech. At least dem get mouth for there.

can someone please translate to English


is it our conventional RAM or something else
It means the speed with which data flows between the RAM and the Processor (two vital components of computers that influence their speed most) just increased by a factor of 10.

There must be something on Intel's sight that the others are not seeing. Perhaps Intel is looking too far ahead to worry about what is trending now.

In studying Programmable memory, we are making attempts to even come close to the equivalent of programmable memory of the Human Biocomputer. Field Programmable Bandwidth still not up to what our brain processes per second, even the frontal cortex process 10*13 to 10*17 bits per second.

Just when I was researching on Quantum Computing then a whole new world of Cosmic Computing opened up in my eyes and just a page of data that I went through landed me on the Cosmic Mainframe on the ethereal field, now my life is never the same.

I love the fact that we are making head way, I can not wait to develop significant AI coding capability to integrate my Meme robot to my Cosmic mind with a neural lace and live forever on the digital world.

We got to ramp up our memories and begin to activate our DNAs to the capacities that we can join the Galactic Federation of Beings and journey out of this 3D illusion via our external worlds instead of Astral Projections, Soul Travels, Time Travels and Interdimensional Vortices.

I agree with your analysis. But I also think Intel is cooking up something. In between performance and power consumption, we will likely see new patents either for pc , mobile etc. I will not be surprise if intel is on the list.

FPGA stands for field Programmable Gate Array. it defines how an internal structure of a flash(electronic based) memory is arranged. in the field of electronics, FPGA is the latest form of a RAM, very fast and robust. thanks. from Engr Kizy(still looking for a job)

With Qualcomm processors about invading their PC market, they had better come up with something. Apple is also currently toying with using their custom AX processors for their Macbooks. Microsoft is working on one.

AMD may have envisioned something like this happening. Maybe that is why they went Multi-core (Hexacore or more since dual and quad cores are mainstream). It is an area where it will take ages for Qualcomm to reach.
If Intel wasn't jabbed in they ar,se, they will still be trying to figure out how to get into the mobile space. A lost cause. It has been plateauing at 4 cores for a long time in. Every year, its the same i-series with increased clocks, cache etc. Nothing to get Ryzen about grin.

This is in contrast to the GPU space. Nvidia's transition from Maxwell to Pascals was a huge advancement. A single GTX1070 could compete favourable with a dual GTX980 in SLI config. Same with AMD RX580... which became very very difficult to find, with units flying off shelves before a speck of dust could settle on them.

The best GPUs from Mali, PowerVR ,Adreno or Apple will find it difficult to render graphics the way a full fledged GPU would.

Someone made an attempt with Cryptocurrency mining on an Apple and Android device. It was found not to be worth it, if you factor how much the device was purchased and how long it will take to break even. Worse if electricity is not constantly available to power it.
