“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

When i9 be available? We need more core.

I was almost crying when I read this comment on some Intel CPU page.

^ If anyone read my input in the 'random internet thread', Intel can not make anything lower than 14nm. Hence they are delaying anything new till next year. I7 will be optimized till then but nothing new and revolutionary. Good old IBM on the other hand, has broken that barrier. Samsung, AMD etc are pushing funds into IBMs new factory in New York state. Can't wait!

Insists I too am individual
