Has Intel announced even a tiny bit what their plans are for Sandy Bridge in the HPC space?

BangersInMyKnickers posted:Apple is looking long and hard at moving to Arm on their laptops for the power/weight benefits. The iOS-ification of OSX and channeling software through their app store is going to enable them to force 3rd party devs to re-write (assuming its needed) and compile for both Arm and x86 platforms in a laptop form factor without having to do the messy transition period for the user like what happened with Rosetta and the move to Intel. Intel knows this, and they're scared shitless at the prospect. I have a feeling if the transition does happen that the iMac and Mac Pro lines will stay on x86 for a lot longer than the mobile stuff. There were major business wins for Apple in the Intel switch besides not being tied to a dying architecture with major problems in the areas of power, heat, and performance. Especially with what's going on with Haswell in terms of power consumption, I don't see a single compelling reason for them to switch at this point in time.

necrobobsledder posted:Apple having an enterprise desktop strategy makes only so much sense given they abhor dealing with the usual BS of enterprise software with armies of consultants and architects. While they do appreciate the business, they're just not looking like they're going to suck enterprise dick like IBM, HP, Unisys, BMC, CA, ad infinitum. They're not exactly rolling out iOS Management Solution Suite either for their already-successful entry into the enterprise supply chain. I really don't think that such developments would attract the sort of employees Apple wants either.

Alereon posted:The way power supplies are designed requires a minimum amount of current draw to produce stable power. You can't run a power supply with nothing connected to it, which is why power supply testers have resisters to produce a small load. If current draw is below the minimum for a given power supply, it will shut back off to prevent damage.
