SemiAccurate

SemiAccurate is a technology news site focusing not just on the new shiny stuff but the how and why behind the technology we use.

Charlie asks the 'but does it blend' ? for datacenters. I tried to stop him.

@JenMonnier @JulianBirch "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees has a chorus that is 24 seconds long, and ALSO doubles as the cadence for doing CPR massage. One song, two vital health uses!

@pauldokas This concept applies to hoomans too

S|A readers do not understand the pain I go through to tone down @CDemerjian

@schestowitz Malpractice

[Charlie Demerjian @CDemerjian]

Just noticed @AMD didn't include GPU information in their TR3/3950X/3000G launch deck. Not good guys, don't do that again.

[SemiAccurate @SemiAccurate]

Once again the site knows charlie is out of town

[SemiAccurate @SemiAccurate]

Site misses charlie and throws a fit everytime he goes overseas

[Charlie Demerjian @CDemerjian]

Why does my site always have problems when I am about to get on an overseas flight! Aaaargh.

@dcominottim @bloggeramg1 @witeken @CDemerjian charlie is off timezone again - I don't think he got to listen to the call yet.

@NBomb I hear air quality is pretty bad outside ... Runs for bcwa before he tweets a reply

[Charlie Demerjian @CDemerjian]

@IanCutress Only 6.022x10^20 times more power and #SemiAccurate can simulate it's moles. Sorry, had to.

@gglawits @CDemerjian Just needs more coffee to be fully functional. I think you have to pour it in a certain port - always forget which port

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

Jack Kilby described his invention of the Integrated Circuit as the result of being on a team that wasn't good at anything besides making silicon wafers. So he figured out how to put capacitors and resistors on a silicon wafer alongside the transistors.

I went on SemiAccurate form, and Nerdmaster post about AMD's event and Zen2/Rome cracked me up.

"64 core zen2 benchmarks vs intel xeon will probably end up reported for pornographic content."

:D

@BostonDynamics Where is our #snowplowdogrobot ? @CityMinneapolis is looking to plow and shovel our sidewalks - only 2,000 miles or so #iwouldwalk500miles

[Charlie Demerjian @CDemerjian]

@rustytoms @SemiAccurate NP, thanks for asking. It is much more akin to triangulating a signal than someone giving you a PDF. There is a lot of analysis that goes in to even a single point of news. You probably noticed I rarely say source and almost always say sources.

[Charlie Demerjian @CDemerjian]

If anyone wants to know why #Intel had a huge quarter and 'can't supply' CPUs, I explained it here. https://t.co/wzPnPHth88

@an_IT_hack Me, no. That is Charlie's area

[SemiAccurate @SemiAccurate]

Has anyone stopped to consider that Intel keeping 10nm is bad news?

[SemiAccurate @SemiAccurate]

@an_IT_hack Which then comes down to where they are at on 7nm. They have the people with the skills. Not saying I know where they are.

[SemiAccurate @SemiAccurate]

@morfca @CDemerjian @MatevzPetric @KMFDT @intel Good question. Roadmaps cirica 2015 2016 say 7nm due when?
