I remember a long time ago it was all about heat generation and how AMD CPUs were much hotter than Intel. I guess this doesn't apply nowadays. Long-time Intel fan (no pun intended), but thinking of switching to AMD on my next build (which will be in at least 5 years from now, as I recently upgraded to an 8-th generation Intel).

... and then we have Apple, who are moving away from Intel and back to ARM.

I've already lived through one core change to Intel. If ARM doesn't have the headspace to efficiently emulate Intel code for a while, the next major Mac upgrade cycle is going to eat donkey balls.

@vaporminor: Disgruntled grumbling in general. Not directed at you. 

Actually it was PowerPC (MIPS) that apple used. Still often used in automotive products (and F1, Indycar, NASCAR, FE) but not too much elsewhere.
As far as switching their desktops to ARM, I don't really see it. It's just not the intended application of the ARM architecture.

Why is there a gap in that chart? Did all exchanges shutdown for some peculiar reason during that time?

It's Bitcoin dominance, and was in middle of 2017, so looks like when BCH forked from BTC, causing BTC dominance to drop by 20% (as BCH was first worth 0.2 BTC).

For a linux user is this just pure blasphemy?

ARM? Wow! I wasn't aware that Apple are going back to ARM. Hell, I wasn't even aware that they were using ARM in the first place. It's a great processor, virtually all mobile phones, tablets, and many embedded systems use it. But not so common for desktop/workstation PC use. Will be interesting to see a new architecture in an x86-64-dominated space...

Even earlier at Pentium times AMD was like the worst CPU ever. They shared one socket and it was possible to use any of them in any mobo. Nobody was using AMD though as it was slow and later also these overheating issues started.  

I remember at that time it was just about cost. Everybody wanted Intel, but many couldn't afford it, so AMD became popular as a "poor man's CPU". You'd get comparable performance at a lower cost. Sure, it would run hotter, and with a larger heat sink, but at that time overclocking and heat dissipation issues were not so important. Everyone was just using the stock coolers.

About Meltdown/Spectre, it was a blow to Intel's image and dominance. I felt angry when I learned that my sparkling new i7-8700 would have to run at slightly reduced speed due to microcode patches. Will re-evaluate the status quo in 5 years' time when I upgrade. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper series looks tempting.

If your thinking o buying an Intel system I would just say no for awhile.

These security issues are just beyond acceptable.

yeah just grabbed a new notebook/tablet. went AMD as i figured anything with an intel chip will just keep getting slower and slower as more and more security patches and microcode updates are added to slow it down.

not that AMD is perfect but intel? seems like they just didnt give a f*ck about really anything for years till real some competition came back.

Well, as i wrote above, the Ryzens keep up with heat management at desktop use, if not even ahead.
Realtime audio generates a little more stress/heat on the Ryzen.

Noted.

It seems that each brand has certain pros and cons in different fields. We are currently in the process of purchasing a 3D scanner (cost is around $25,000) and the manufacturer insists on using Intel CPUs on the PC. They are against AMD for some reason.

What brand of 3D scanner? Just curious.

Also Ryzen FTW.

if that shit works it could pay for itself in just a few jobs

of course, you have to have your CNC chops already going on to get usable parts out the other end, many devils in those details.

Different and realistic analysis.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Bullish Trend Still Valid: Trader

$BTC

Chart says it all

Bears can kiss it if we fail to engulf imo

Bulls must not close positions yet!

$BTC

Under water on this extra long exposure

No conditions met to close yet (see first tweet) or look for shorts

After the litany of recent hardware exploits on Intel processors became public, you wouldn't be able to pay me to use one. That's aside from the fact Ryzen offers much better performance per dollar, performance per watt, etc.

Bitcoin dominance is of more use to eventually hit a good altcoin run, than Bitcoin's price, imo. It can go up, even if Bitcoin is falling, but alts are falling even faster. But when it goes down, than it hints some good potential profits in alts trading as alts do react on Bitcoin going down too, so Bitcoin dominance rarely goes down just because btc price is going down.

Bankrupt Hertz is seeing it stock surge again today as it plans to issue $1 billion in new shares.

Just so we're clear, Craig Wright has just openly admitted (via his lawyers) to be the guy that stole 80k BTC from Mtgox. The screenshots below show the court documents indicating the "1Feex" address is where the stolen Mtgox funds were sent. What do you have to say, @CalvinAyre?

just lol

Bawb = next Masterluc ?  

I'm too lazy to look for proof but you can browse his recent post history..  

How recent? I looked and it seems Bawb is mostly into observing things, not making any calls.

It could reasonably be argued that Masterluc is also just spouting out a bunch of nonsense, and probably Bawb has tended to be correct more often than Masterluc, even when bawb might not have even been trying... as long as sorcerer powers do not go to Bawb's head, we might be able to find some sorcerer predicting qualities in the way that he is describing his gut bacteria or whether the plates are bouncing or sticking or whether any digits have been stuck in his orifices or the orifices of his acquaintances or if he drove his porsche into a horse while shooting coyotes from the back seat.

Once bawb starts trying to actually predict or engage in reverse psychology to manipulate king daddy, then we might have to either bring in trump, the black lives matters folks and/or the WHO in order to demote his ass from sorcerer status.

Turn on the volume.

All this shit in Seattle's Autonomous District is really making me super angry. This country is going full retard.

I wouldn't get worried about that CHAZ shit. It's basically just a bunch of kids having fun by taking themselves seriously.

It's really no different than the hippies having a love-in, while it lasts. Eventually it will burn itself out and they'll go home, but some real good may actually come of it. The worst thing is to let it become a Kent State.

Let them paint slogans on the street or pass out flowers or whatever. It's the way the grown-ups react that will have the lasting effect. Eventually the Vietnam war ended and Tricky Dicky resigned in disgrace. Let's see how the bumbling reality-TV actor does in this fall's election. Let's see what anti-law-enforcement-brutality legislation results.

It's not worth the stress of anger.

But..bbut... "Who run Bartertown?!?!" Just look at all that peace and love being spread.
