Intel co-founder Gordon Moore is a visionary. In 1965, his prediction, popularly known as Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip will double about every two years. And Intel has kept that pace for nearly 40 years. Today, we continue to help move the industry forward by ...

Epic: Game engines still "factor of a thousand off" from photo realism
Neoseeker News Feed —
Technology needed for perfectly realistic graphics may not be so far off, but tools and functionality needed to implement them are not as easy to realise Epic founder Tim Sweeney muses that we may only be 10-15 years away from the technology needed to produce photo realism in gaming, by virtue of technological evolution as described by Moore's Law alone. Sweeney remains a key player at Epic, playing a part in the development of the Unreal Engine used in titles like Epic's own Gears of War series. In an interview with Gamasutra, Sweeney believes that while sheer "brute force ...
Microsoft sees sense, kills "three app limit" on Windows 7 Starter edition
Hardware 2.0 —
... I do have to pick up on one point that LeBlanc makes: We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks , like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity. [ emphasis added ] This idea that netbooks are “a small notebook PC for very basic tasks” is silly. Netbooks are very capable, as capable as some of the top end business notebooks from a few years ago. It seems that Moore’s Law has caught up with Microsoft, and it’s now having to face a world where the hardware ...
