I'm not really sure why you and vcoleiro are writing this, I haven't seen anyone posting here who isn't aware of this fact. They have afterall been saying themselves that they wouldn't be showing anything more than cannibalized part prototypes, but even if they didn't we all know there's no way...

That's really interesting about Woz, do you have a link to an article or something about that? Hate to be a wet blanket but I wouldn't hold out much hope for quantum computing. If it happens in much capacity it still might not be that generally useful. And if you thought learning how to program...

I see this SoC and I think it's another server effort that doesn't even have a built-in display controller (let alone GPU) Server tasks tend to be well suited at utilizing a lot of cores, which is why you see single Xeons with like 22 cores these days. The thing with CPU cores is that they...

Okay well regardless of what else we agree or disagree on regarding their consistency or intentions, I just want to say that this is very important. If they're lying about investors that's a super big deal and could have very serious legal repercussions. Maybe we're splitting hairs about this...

Examining a peak power consumption number is meaningless without looking at performance. In fact, an entire perf vs power consumption curve should be examined because perf/W isn't linear. Furthermore, you can't judge GPU power efficiency by looking at whole SoC power. It's possible that the GPU...

But right now, today, they are straight up saying that they were not planning to do a KS and only did so because their investor required it. I don't think they ever said they were going to do KS until an investor saved them from it. What they said is they weren't going to do KS - period. Then it...

I don't know, nVidia's Maxwell GPU scaled down for the Tegra X1 looks like it has pretty good perf/W. Pascal in the upcoming 16nm Tegra should be better still. The thing is, power efficiency is really crucial for all GPUs these days, since even at the largest scales they're pretty power limited...

Everybody knows this, the question right now is simply a matter of where they're putting the cannibalized tablet PCB in the "prototype." No one here thought there was going to be a custom PCB in this video. I guess you could say it's moot. I would almost say that there could be demand for a Ben...

I though this at first but it's actually the guy's knee, and around 2:20 it's lifted without being balanced on anything for a while. I doubt the bottom part is uncovered, since he holds his hands there and rests it flat on his knee. The tablet being glued behind the screen would make sense. It...

And a clarification was posted, helpful as always.. You have to ask yourself, why would they make the 3D printed version larger than the specifications called for when they're only using it to house cannibalized pieces of controllers? If anything I'd expect it to be smaller. Okay, I didn't...

@Yoyobuae good catch on the controller LED. Looks like I guessed correctly. I guess I should have added that they changed the layout of the screen housing to actually sit on top of the screen instead of around it. Not a very big change though. Screen is probably taped/glued to this piece...

All impressions I've gotten from Cherry Trails so far is that the perf/W on the CPU side is comparatively good, while the perf/W on the GPU side isn't that good. The GPU heavy tests on sites really make the thing suck power down, and that's why in tablet implementations the GPU can't really...

Oh boy, the new prototype has been shown. Let's look at what changed since the old prototype. - Different colored material now. Change in 3D printer? - They printed button caps now instead of using the ones from their ripped apart ipega. Or maybe they painted existing ones. The detail is pretty...

At least this means Nadir and AlecArzh are probably separate people, unless he was using a sockpuppet account on this forum for years..

There's probably not an awful lot that GPD themselves can actually optimize anyway.

This is so pointless.. They got some other random guy to talk on their behalf, and it probably is a real person given his English seems markedly better. The previous "Alec" person needing to leave to work on the prototype makes less sense, and just makes it seem more likely that he's really the...

That's no good at all. If a campaign is found to be breaking the rules it needs to be shut down immediately. There is no way to salvage it, the pledges it has have already been taken under false pretences. I don't really think we can judge anything by Lazer Razer alone. It's really very rare...

True, and I thought the same thing, but I don't think this applies so much to Russian names which usually aren't very difficult for westerners to pronounce.

Someone should suggest to PGSLab that they go to their alleged investors and make the case that they've already proven they can get over three times the required figure of support. Under highly dubious circumstances at that. This should be enough for them to get funding to build a real prototype...

Youtube comments are always filled with negativity and bile. That's how it is. And I do agree it's inappropriate to link to competitors in KS comments but in this case the people who are doing so are really just trying to do the PGS backers a favor. People who think that any kind of opposition...
