|
Answer» Intel will be pushing Ivy Bridge platform into 2012. They want you to buy what they have in stock. Then come back later for the new stuff.Umm... OK. What is your point? Quote from: BC_Programmer on September 04, 2011, 06:50:43 PM Umm... OK.To let readrs nknow thatn the new chips will not be on time for this year. Intell had earlier said the new stuff would be here about now. Instead, it will be another six months. A slow down of sales is said to be the reson. This could mean the the development of the Desktop PC is getting ever closer to is peak and will soon decline. Your alarmist nature is almost comical in it's hyperbole. Quote from: Geek-9pm on September 04, 2011, 06:25:50 PM They want you to buy what they have in stock. Then come back later for the new stuff. Gee, I can't imagine any other company doing that. Quote from: BC_Programmer on September 04, 2011, 08:36:20 PM Your alarmist nature is almost comical in it's hyperbole.Glad it makes you laugh. The expresion "Decline of the Desktop" is mpt my invention. It is a topic of discussion among IT workers and manufacteurs. The news from Intel is seen as a precursor of waht isn coming. Ther has been a steady decline in teaching Mathematics at a high nlevel. Moste stuesnts are going into areas that do not REALLY need the power of a Desktop Computer with an advanced CPU. Other thatn playing games, the fundamental reson for OWNING e a computer is going away. As for social networking, web nsurfing, database lookup - you can do that with a dumb terminal. The same way it was done twenty years ago. Intel is shifting is nfocus more on mobile devices. Which continue to sell well all over the WORLD.

Quote Ther has been a steady decline in teaching Mathematics at a high nlevel.Probably not, and more to the point- how is this relevant? Quote Moste stuesnts are going into areas that do not really need the power of a Desktop Computer with an advanced CPU.By which you of course mean *censored* near any vocation. Most occupations existed long before desktop computers. Quote Other thatn playing games, the fundamental reson for owning e a computer is going away.Oh, hey, 1993 called, they'd like their alarmist slogan back. Quote As for social networking, web nsurfing, database lookup - you can do that with a dumb terminal. The same way it was done twenty years ago.And let's forget why we moved away from centralized computing in the first place and instead hold it as a pinnacle of some alleged nirvana when it comes to productivity. Quote Intel is shifting is nfocus more on mobile devices. Which continue to sell well all over the world.Do you just slap random sentences together? I'm not really sure what this has to do with any of either what you put in that post or your previous one. "Intel is focussing on mobile devices" Yeah. OK? So? All companies (save HP, haha) seem to be doing this. It's a stupid idea because the exact same nonsense of "Everybody is doing it so we should too!" is what caused the dot com crash. if you ask me the market is already oversaturated with useles trinkets that pass themselves off as mobile devices. Absolutely none of the various things a desktop computer can do aren't mirrored in some way by a mobile device, but absolutely no mobile device can do what a desktop does. It's easy to toe the line, but the reasons to own a computer are no different than they have ever been. Once the cost got within the range of what a microwave would cost in the early eighties it became affordable to many homes, at which point it doesn't really matter if it serves any purpose, people will get them anyway. Thing is, if people were really intent on just getting by on WHATEVER they needed, there wouldn't be no reason to have computers or mobile devices to begin with, the very idea is ludicrous, every single thing a computer provides to the average user is merely a convenient abstraction of something concrete that they can do without it. One might argue that mobile devices make thing more convenient, well, that depends. I for one don't understand how paying out the nose to send ASCII text you type on a mushy keypad is something to be desired, but that's the status quo.

BTW: Do you know where I can gert a good Abacus? I only have one Abacus and I think I need a backup.The one I have is over forty years old. |
