Only Paranoid survive

In Only the Paranoid survive, Intel's former CEO Andy Grove recounts the dilemma of launching two largely incompatible CPUs at the same time:
We now had two very powerful chips that we were introducing at just about the same time: the 486, largely based on CISC technology and compatible with all the PC software, and the i860, based on RISC technology, which was very fast but compatible with nothing. We didn't know what to do. So we introduced both, figuring we'd let the marketplace decide. However, things were not that simple. Supporting a microprocessor architecture with all the necessary computer-related products – software, sales, and technical support – takes enormous resources. Even a company like Intel had to strain to do an adequate job with just one architecture. And now we had two different and competing efforts, each demanding more and more internal resources. Development projects have a tendency to want to grow like the proverbial mustard seed. The fight for resources and for marketing attention (for example, when meeting with the customer, which processor should we highlight) led to internal debates that were fierce enough to tear apart our microprocessor organization. Meanwhile, our equivocation caused our customers to wonder what Intel really stood for, the 486 or i860?

Jews in Elysee Palace's communications system !


 In another NSA document from 2008 obtained by the British newspaper The Guardian, Israel is described as ”excellent partners in terms of sharing information ” but the Mossad is also noted by the Americans to be “the third most aggressive intelligence service in the world against the United States”.

AMD'a 14nm by the end of 2014 !


As far as product launches are concerned, we can expect a launch date of the new products based upon the TSMC 20nm and GLOFO 14nm FinFET processes by late 2014 or early 2015 since they are only currently being tapped out.

After all, ARM is expected to move from 28nm to 20nm fabrication on the Cortex-A15 and 64-bit, ARMv8 Cortex-A57 designs by 2014. The micro-server and desktop-targeted A57 will support a big.LITTLE arrangement with the similarly ARMv8-based Cortex-A53 smartphone/tablet SoC. Both should advance to 14nm fabrication by 2015 or 2016.

___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: However AMD's 14nm XM  FinFET SOI technology doesn't seem like a Intel's 14 nm vaporware by the end of this year. If tic toc still works.
The 14XM FinFET node is a low power product aimed at mobile applications at 14 nm.  It will not be a good choice for large, power hungry products like GPUs, but it will be appropriate for low power SOCs. 
I fully expect to see ARMv8 based processors utilize this node.

At Toyota one critical bit is worth $ 1Billion !

There are 24 tasks and 16 million different ways those tasks can die. The experts group was able to demonstrate at least one way for the software to cause unintended acceleration, but there are so many other ways that could have happened.
___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK:
We observed that Toyota's black box can malfunction during unintended acceleration specifically, and this will cause the black box to falsely report no braking. NHTSA's rules need to address this, e.g., by being more specific about where and how the black box gets its data, so that it does not have a common failure point with the engine computer.

Ooooops, second X386 duopoly CEO scalp down: Intel's CEO chief of Architecture group steps down

Well, actually the first scalp down, Because Microsoft CEO Balmer went down too, but without that Android mavericks trophy, from the obvious bold reason. :)

There is no viable 14nm process at Intel



Is leaked 14nm Broadwell actually Hi K 22 nm low power second generation process ?
___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Seems like 22 nm is absolute shrinking size. With 3 Fin FETs gates we entered  in contradict age of ever shrinking gates and fatter overall transistor bodies !.
The central point to the note is that Intel’s 22nm process has serious problems, and 14nm is in deep trouble too.  BHW however does not see any problem with Intel developing a 22nm SoC process, quite the contrary,

Exclusive: What is exactly behind Intel's 14nm problems ?

We all know that after scaling problems in past Intel can't be surprised after introduction of development fabs. But now it is obviously in scaling problems, just as BAD HARDWARE predicted. What is really behind Intel's widely shut lips ?


"If you can make them [FinFETs] rectangular you will gain significantly in terms of performance, about a 20 percent gain." "Despite significant differences in the shape of the three fins, the difference in the on-current is within a 4 percent range," the blog states.The characteristic dimensions of three FinFETs were fed into the GSS Garand simulator and it revealed that at 22-nm, nature appears to have worked to Intel's advantage.
Professor Asenov added: "I think Intel just survived at 22-nm. I think bulk FinFETs will be difficult to scale to 16-nm or 14-nm. I think that SOI will help the task of scaling FinFETs to 16-nm and 11-nm. Of course, the wafers are more expensive, but you save money with less processing."
___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: But alas, nature is not always in Intel's favor. Say at 14nm. Mother nature next favor window is only at 11 nm . In the meantime you will get main stress at Intel at their skilled journalists and spoke men. :)
On a trip to Taiwan last summer, Harvard Business School professor Willy Shih heard that TSMC likely won’t match Intel’s 22-nanometer 3-D transistors for two to four years, a gap he characterized as “enormous.”  Well, Intel itself will not match it seems too for two to four years ! :))))

Intel's Broadwell K unlocked (35W TDP) still by the end 2014 , however not compatible with off the shelf Haswell boards

 Not compatible, in small quantities and thus expensive, VERY EXPENSIVE.


While Haswell and the Broadwell-powered 9-series will share the LGA1150 socket, there will be a number of slight changes between the two. The most notable changes are in the V_PROC_IO connection, as it requires a 1.05V power source, VCCST, because of a new type of power supply required, and to THRMTRIP because of a slightly different chip topology. This presents a number of backwards compatibility issues, and means that only motherboards that support refreshed Haswell will be compatible with the 9-series Broadwell chips. HASWELL REFRESH IS LOWER POWER HASWELL VERSION. AND BETWEEN NEW GENERATION AT INTEL WE HAVE NOW 3 YEARS. THAT MEANS THE NEXT ONE 11nm IS ONLY BY THE  2017 END .

 What does it mean ? Broadwell is delayed, as Intel's Krzanic confirms.
___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: What I said long time ago? 14nm  will be delayed because of production difficulties. But let me explain what "new steps" mean: Longer production times and lower chip yield ! Intel did it, BUT at at what price? Briefly INTEL IS DELAYED one year back !

U.S. Raids in Libya and Somalia Strike Terror Targets

 U.S. Raids in Libya and Somalia Strike Terror Targets.
In Tripoli, American forces captured a Libyan militant who had been indicted in 2000 for his role in the 1998 bombings of the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The militant, born Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai and known by his nom de guerre, Abu Anas al-Liby, had a $5 million bounty on his head; his capture at dawn ended a 15-year manhunt.

PRISM damages up to $180B in year 2016 !


We think this estimate is too low and could be as high as $180 billion or a 25% hit to overall IT service provider revenues in that same timeframe. That is, if you believe the assumption that government spying is more a concern than the business benefits of going cloud.

Former Microsoft Privacy Chief Says He No Longer Trusts The Company


In the two years since leaving Microsoft, Bowden has ceased carrying a cell phone and become a staunch open source user, claiming that he no longer trusts a program unless he can see the source.
Long term, the problem could lead to the construction of digital firewalls, in which the United States is effectively isolated behind protective nodes built by local governments to scrub and redirect traffic away from potential capture points. This is directly in opposition to the central concept of the Internet, which is a dynamic structure capable of responding to outages or damage by routing around the problem.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography provides greater security and more efficient performance than the first generation public key techniques (RSA and Diffie-Hellman) now in use. As vendors look to upgrade their systems they should seriously consider the elliptic curve alternative for the computational and bandwidth advantages they offer at comparable security.

___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: EC means Elliptic Curve.
There are plenty of elliptic curves to choose from. A cryptosystem based on a random one is virtually impregnable and hence protects our privacy. But it turns out that there are some elliptic curves that look random but actually allow for easy decryption; that's an example of a backdoor. It's a nontrivial mathematical problem to generate such curves (equipped with some extra data), but it can be done. And according to the reports, the NSA has been pushing the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the body that sets encryption standards in the United States, and various vendors to adopt such special elliptic curves since as early as 2006, knowing full well that they were prone to attacks.
