@alvin3486 That's written by Charlie Demerjian who used to work for theinq and is generally considered a bit overwhelmed with his dislike for nvidia, although he does know a lot of insider stuff and isn't exactly stupid, however he does seem overwhelmed by his emotion of that subject. And since nvidia is reportingly already baking the chips we'll see in 2 months how it pans out. Incidentally being ambitious in design isn't necessarily a bad thing, making stuff in tiny baby steps doesn't advance technology and just makes people pointlessly pay over and over for small improvements. Last but not least ATI has a history of putting stuff in that didn't really work too, sometimes it's hard to predict how the final chip comes out it seems, and the more complex the trickier I imagine, it becoems harder and harder to emulate all interactions of components when you are dealing with millions upon millions of transistors.
Good read though if you keep alert and draw your own conclusions, but that he says having such a large die and poweruse means there's nowhere to scale to in the future seems very true for instance. And it's nice to see a non paid-for analysis, that's getting damn rare, so many sites are basically 'embedded' reviewers, that can say one semi-critical thing in an article, to make it seem real, but only if they keep to the script the rest of the time.
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.
