[HEXUS]

No, they didn't unveil their first IPU. They unveiled they're going to be designing and making an IPU, there is nothing here except for a promise that there is going to be a product.

Intel have been very good at announcing stuff the last few years.
Delivering? Not so much.
If these announcement are to hype up their share prices, prevent customers from going elsewhere, then they are probably doing their job, but that is of little interest to anyone interested in the actual tech.
The contrast with AMD's 3D stacked cache is telling: all Zen3 CCDs had the groundwork already included and they've only now announced that it will be shipping within 6-9 months.

No matter what, INTEL still got a good foot in everywhere and in all honesty... then I would like to see more standards with everything from sockets to cross compatibility all platforms, it is how the world is put together afterall... just look at electric motors as for a good start... they all have same fittings for an instance... and of course to be able or to be modified for special cases and fittings, as there is more money in that whenever it get to it, also a faster development platform and better + more performance.

I would like to see that AMD and Intel CPUs would fit in the same socket as they did in the old days... Cyrix being a player back then.

Would make it much easier for motherboard developers as well, only having to focus on one chipset fits all.

Current system is a crash course on who is going to be the crushed underling for the next 10 years... while when ahead AMD then would do the Intel Route.. and just do minor increases each year making the customers into cashcows.

Is that what you kids call it these days?
Does it still require wearing a Flasher Mac, or is that out of fashion for mild-mannered perverts?

You just wear this little thing around your ankle these days.

Off topic - whenever me and a friend go to the pub and have people with annoying screaming kids next to us, one of us will strike up a conversation about having our ankle bracelet removed and how much they chafe.

So long as people don't confuse those with my shemagh, things should be alright, then.

They're interchangeable, your shemagh isn't safe.

I don't exactly look the snoodie type in it, though... might be the colour, or it might just be the rather military vibe of the accompanying outfit.
