My insight is to always threadlock your brake caliper mounting bolts … if I had done that, I wouldn’t have ended up stuck north of San Bernardino with a missing bolt, at 6 AM. Fortunately, there was a Home Depot nearby…
Intel is doing very well with their latest release. And they had a bright idea to put a GPU (with twice the gflops of the CPU) on the same die with the CPU and to allow it to share the L3 cache, which is promising, though I’m not sure if they implemented it right. It’s still not clear how or if this GPU can be operated outside the DirectX 10/11 framework.
On the other hand, NVIDIA seems to be losing market share. They made a major step in the wrong direction with Fermi, and now they are having trouble competing with faster and cheaper AMD’s.
