No SD card either, and I believe the Raspberry Pi GPU is faster. I also don't believe it's made by Mozilla.

Smaller size, smaller price and smaller power consuption. Also smaller memory, no ethernet and less USB ports.

Skinning hasn't been done on the CPU for about a decade now. GPUs are much better at it.

My point is that it doesn't matter that it's slow. What's more important is it gives them access to the huge Raspberry Pi community.

Not strange at all. Raspberry Pi is vastly more popular than any other competitor, perhaps even all competitors combined. It doesn't really matter that it's slower or that it uses an old ins…

How is this different from SMT?

The chip on the Pi was designed for set-top boxes, not tablets.

I was talking specifically about chips made by Intel, not x86.

Even on the Xbox 360? I though it was only for the Xbox One.

When profiling games, using FPS to measure performance increases/decreases is kinda silly. For example, going from 25 to 30 fps (5 fps increase) is a bigger performance improvement than going fro…

I think the author is wrong about the CPU supporting HT. Merrifield is based on the Silvermont micro-architecture, which does away with HT and replaces it with OOE.

Consoles make no sense with Intel chips, just for cost reasons.

That didn't stop them from doing Xbox One.

There seems to be only one person in that thread arguing that it's not a problem.

That's true in theory. In practice, a not insignificant number of popular Android apps (mostly, but not limited to, games) are written in non-Java languages. That limits those apps to ARM unless …

I didn't say otherwise.

Neither Wii nor WiiU use OpenGL, and on the PS3 it may as well not exist since pretty much no game uses it.

As long as there are multiple different GPUs around, there will always be a need for multiple code paths if you want to get good use of those GPUs, whether you use the same API or not.

Edison is 32-bit x86.

Refering to questions by number is useless since they are choosen randomly from a set number.

Yes, at least with QtCreator and KDevelop.

The Windows, Mac and Linux are the same version.

Only the PC version is in Java. The other versions are in C++.

Why would they do that?

Or just use the C++ version. Only the PC version is written in Java.

It's unplayable on my system (Firefox 32 on Ubuntu on an i3 laptop). Runs at like 5fps.

The Win16 API was written in C, not Pascal. But because it didn't have functions with a variable number of arguments, they could use the Pascal calling convention instead of the C one. It was sli…

It's basically a large number of in-order P5- (or Atom-) derived cores with 4-way SMT and beefed up SIMD capabilities (two 512-bit units per core).

It's the native apps (mostly games) that aren't compatible with non-ARM CPUs, not the Java ones.
