Core alone less than 0.65mm2 in size

Can we have a chip with GPU, 128G RAM and 32G Flash, dedicated SDIO for SDcard, and 2 x USB2go, as well anything else useful for interfacing to wired and wifi and a bunch of other stuff for any random application other than a phone?

Two versions:

1) BGA

2) Cut down I/O in 80 pin SMT leaded package (no external memory or parallel bus interfaces) for easy DIY designs. You can solder those by reflow using a regular soldering iron. Can be same chip with simply a different package.

JTAG obviously, but a simple standardised "BIOS" option to overwrite even a "bricked" Flash via USB or SDIO/Micro SD would be nice.

Five pins to five onboard DAC optionally routed to GPU would allow any driver selected option of:

1) 3 high speed DAC (Software defined RF) and 2 x DAC up to 192kHz sample rate

2) Composite, RGB SCART, Y/C, Component or VGA (PAL, NTSC, HD up to 1600 x 1200)

Value of shares

Isn't mostly speculation rather than investors?

Speculation: Trading already issued shares.

Investment: Buying new shares a company issues, possibly getting a dividend.

The value of shares is what ever you get paid selling them, other than divi?

Well,

Really at this stage the only useful additions would be:

1)Micro SD

2)USB storage mode instead of dreadful iTunes or iCloud to access files

Instead they are going to mess "inventing" a proprietary headphone connection no-one wants.

Probably they'll change the dock every three years. They've lost the plot.

Speculative.

I'd not bet on it being a profitable sector, still they and other ARM SoC designers more likely to make money from it than Intel.

Also it's possible the chips are pretty general purpose low power.

on the results of publicly funded research

Stuff in Uni and State funded only or all papers?

Power Consumption

Unlike mobile and IoT, the x86 power consumption isn't an issue for cars. However it's very price sensitive. Though Intel has sold cheap non-x86 cpus in the past (i960, ARM, 8051 etc).

Disappointed!

I thought this was about the new folding display one, like a pair of wings with no body.

The last folding display phone I saw was the eInk roll up model. Apart from the fake one on on 'Earth: Final Conflict'.

I can't even get the flip phone locally. Car Phone Warehouse is full of identical form factor phones and tablets apart from a few obsolete GSM only flip and Candy feature phones supposedly for older people.

There is also supposed to be a new model from someone that wraps on the wrist and opens to be a skinnier regular phone.

Can't we give him to the USPTO?

See title.

Alternative is'nt pain free

I've used MS Windows, and supported it, sold, training etc 1991 to 2004

User 1991 to 2014

There has been some pain moving to Linux Mint + Mate Desktop + WINE, but for me it's far more functional than Win10 (old specialist programs, some have free alternatives on Linux, only costly or no alternative on Win10). OS X seems poorly supported for th stuff I do and a Mac costs too much. Linux runs on all my existing netbook, latop, PC etc.

We changed the server first a few years ago (we quite often had UNIX or Linux on something since 1986) from Windows 2000 (Win 2003 was too bloated for the old Hardware that had been running NT 4.0.) to Debian. Maybe that was 2010.

Attack vs Defence

That suggests GCHQ know their enough of their enemies (which include governments, terrorists and criminal) know this bug, thus defence is more useful now.

Carbon Monoxide

Gives a lovely colour.

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide have different effects. Smokers have higher monoxide levels in their breath even when they are not smoking.

Meh

Sometimes "free" is too expensive.

I only buy clothes with out logos or names on the outside.

Yes!

Excellent!

"What the chatbot wars reveal, then, is a Silicon Valley that, far from being disruptive and innovative, is desperately uninventive, and creepy with it. Now that the low-hanging fruit (search, free music, free email) has been plucked, we can see them for what they are, quite transparently, which is consumer data slurping operations."

ABSOLUTELY!

Not just websites

Fundamentally email and web has tried to add security afterwards.

Phising / malware emails often copy large chunks from the legitimate site in realtime as well as during design. The email addresses can be meaningless.

With more TLD being added the potential to have fakes has increased, though the real problem is solvable except by scrapping HTTP and HTTPS and inventing something new. Not going to happen.

Sounds good

Unlike a lot of lab ideas and many VC scams this has very sound logical science.

No doubt rather than solid glass prisms it will use flat film dichroic filters

Again?

Oh dear.

Even Anthony Horowitz (the writer) thought Midsommer Murder series had too high a body count. So he didn't explain that paganism was the REAL cause.
