Intel vs AMD vs Apple

Today I come across a post at cnetasia.com, Intel to add memory controllers, threading in 2008 By Tom Krazit. In the post, it report : "Intel also plans to build chips with "point-to-point" links that directly connect processor cores with their neighbors, and install a fast link between the processor and memory with integrated memory controllers, Gelsinger said. Those were two design philosophies used by Advanced Micro Devices to break into the server market with its Opteron chip in 2003. Intel has thus far disdained those approaches. Not every chip in the Nehalem family will come with all those features, but they will be available to Intel's designers, Gelsinger said. Different customers require various types of products for their future PC and server designs, he said. For example, Intel's newest best friend, Apple, is pushing the chipmaker to develop chips with a lot of integrated pieces, including graphics controllers, Gelsinger said. Apple's focus on ind

I've attend a interview invitation for a senior Java Programmer post. I was honor and happy because someone finally notice my talent and skills. So I went to the interview with 120% confidence (this is what we call over confidence). However my 120% confidence was K.O. by merely 2 simple question regarding Java programming. I was shocked and realize the truth. "If one STAY at the comfort zone too long, one will stop moving forward". It is true that I had been in the "comfort zone" too long that I did not realize I had stop moving. Imagine that the world around me keep moving forward and I just idle and stood at the same point.

I always told myself that to change the current lifestyle cause I always felt that I become pretty lazy. The guest the interview give me a good experience and lesson. I need to start moving forward now,
