wow, this article has 45 shares and 300 likes on facebook - completely
missed it because i'd never heard of xataka before.
Xataka is an important website in Spanish about technology.
From the comments, I see that people think that Allwinner A20
is less powerful and more expensive than Raspberry 3.
and the rbpi3 is from an unethical company.... i'm not going to start
an ethical business by working with unethical companies, am i? that
never tends to work out well, does it? :)
Post by GaCuestThere is another who says to launch an EOMA-68 with an
Atom (or CoreM). I suppose CoreM is not possible by high
consumption.
that and the sheer cost of boards using intel processors is way
outside of the current realm of practicality at the moment. it would
cost something like $USD 50,000 and we would need to do a minimum
production run of 30,000 to justify the cost.
also intel do not provide Reference Designs so the time taken would
be 4-6 months, and they do not provide PMIC (Power Management
Integrated Circuit) information nor guarantee access to the specialist
PMICs. unlike the low-power SoC companies, intel have never really
succeeded in this market and one of the things that they do not
understand is that you must provide a companion PMIC and guarantee
access to it *and* the processor. if a third party refuses to give
you PMIC samples, what's the point of having the processor *at all*???
but, intel has now completely given up on the smartphone and tablet market.
later however we will do an EOMA200 small desktop / industrial PC but
that is a radically different proposition.
Post by GaCuestI think that people are not very concerned that
Intel, or Windows, or NSA spy on them. They prefer a very
powerful processor, although it is not free and spy on them.
Usually people think they do nothing illegal with their computers,
so people do not care that others spy on them.
... until their bank account information is held to ransom by mafia
groups. it's not just the NSA: it's powerful groups with ties to
governments whose capability to break RSA 2048 bit private keys is
unknown. remember: the "security nightmare" for intelligence
communities is not what's *known* to be insecure (because you can plan
for that), it's what's *NOT* known to be insecure that keeps them
awake at night.
remember *also* that i have word from a friend who is studying
mathematics, he hasn't been able to release the paper because he is
concerned for his life, but he has discovered a way to test for prime
numbers based around the riemann-zeta function, using a recursive
algorithm that uses arithmetic shift, multiplication and
addition/subtract - NO DIVISION. it can test for primality in
something like O(N log N) where current tests are.... O( N ^ 2 ) or
something like that. so if he knows how to do it, you can *guarantee*
that it's a technique that's *already* been discovered a hell of a
long time ago.
Post by GaCuestIf you want, I can answer for you in Spanish. Or tell me what
you want to say in English, I translate in Spanish, and you post
it on Xataka.
if you could check and add the above i'd be really grateful
