Re: So is the whole APU strategy of AMD a bust?

It's no bust. they would have been dead already if it weren't for APU's. and then again, could purchasing ATI, diverting R&D money to the APU/Fusion Program, be the real reason for them falling behind in such a way in traditional CPU architecture? who knows..

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Slow Recharge Time

You have also to take into account that battery voltage curve / OS battery charge display / battery behavior are not linear mathematical relations. Charging the battery 1 hour to 50% doesn't mean that it takes 2 for it to go 100%, etc etc. Also, OSes will sometimes present "softer" battery...

Re: Top 3 PC Game Developers?

so many to chose from...

1. Valve (games, support, community, commitment to the platform)
2. id (somewhat still loyal to their roots)
3. Bethesda (I'll pretty much buy anything from these guys)

honorable mentions:
- Epic (yeah, sort of pc centered)
- Blizzard (respect to these guys)

Re: AMD Reintroduces FX Brand for High-End Processors at E3

Thanks for the info! I always liked the FX name on AMD cores. Thought it was cool original FX-51s required server grade sockets to work, then came the popular 939 FX-53 :D
They can surely milk the name a bit more, loose the phenom bit.

Doesn't exist. Could be referring to newer Z4 models E89s, which have M variations.
