I know what each of those words mean individually, I'm not sure what you think is different.... That it was made note of and *recorded*? Anyone can watch the CPU of an Android phone do this. I just said my old Nexus S dynamically scales during load, any other new smartphones do as well, and look up the Interactive CPU…

So these use the new Piledriver cores, right? The performance difference between this and the last gen A series should give a rough estimate of how much better the desktop Bulldozer replacement will be.

Things have gotten much quieter in general since hte C2D, although Intel chips do still have the heat advantage due to being so far ahead in fabrication (22nm).

He's wrong though. My Nexus S does the same thing and that's pretty old, at idle it clocks around 200MHz, then goes to 1GHz at load and anything in between. All Cortex A9s and A8s do this, it's not new.

That's not right. My Nexus S clocks down to 200MHz when inactive, that's what, three years old? All Cortex A9s and A8s do this.

It's possible it's a software bug, but I reccomend getting Apple to exchange it anyways.

Weird, looks like graphics corruption or something wrong with the display digitizer to me, but it's only there when the keyboard is up? Im' sure Apple would exchange it anyhow.

Almost any sufficiently complex processor from the last half decade does this...It's not overclocking, it's just running at a lower frequency while not required to do much work to save power. Overclocking by definition means pushing past the designed frequency, it just hits its max designed frequency while actually…

Static on the keyboard?

I'm not sure what I'm remembering then, but it's definitely there, one generations iPods stopped working with old 30 pin USB cables, and I'm pretty sure it was because of a similar authentication chip.

Didn't the old 30 pin switch over to cables with chips like this a few years back? Is it the same chip?

And never forget foreplay with the port. Makes all the difference.

Read the source link, the CPU is a custom design. This isn't a pick-and-choose thing like the A5 where they picked an A9 and the GPU cores and put them together in a SoC, the CPU itself is a new design. They DID design the ARM core, it's not a stock A9, it is a custom core, that's what I've been trying to say. Again,…

It would be more like McDonalds/Apple designed the specific burger/CPU, and the employees/Samsung/any foundry produced replicas. I don't understand your analogy. The original CPU was invented by someone else, but THIS particular one was designed by Apple.

Bearing in mind that "made by Samsung" is in the same sense that Nvidia chips are "made by TSMC", Samsung in this case is just the chip foundry, they just make the completed chip, Apple designed it (the CPU part at least, there are other blocks designed by other people).

I really want to know how powerful it is, people keep repeating the mantra graphics don't make games, but power sure does add longevity to a console, Reggie named a few big Wii launches but for the most part third party releases dried up. IBM just confirmed that past references to the Power7 in the Wii U were…

Hardware sales of the Wii are always thrown around, but don't game sales matter more? How many games does an average Wii owner purchase compared to a 360 or PS3 owner (I'm actually asking, I think there was a study on this that showed it was far less?)?

Impressive. I wonder if we'll see that same near-perfect colour gamut on all Apple displays within the next two years.

But smartphones have really lowered our standard of cell phone battery life, remember when you plugged your dumbphone in once a week? A day is decent, two is better, and I'd much rather that than it keep getting lighter.
