Viennese Fire in the Alps for freedom of expression Since 1988 on every 2nd Saturday in August in the whole Alpine-region the initiative "Feuer in den Alpen" (Fire in the Alps) takes place. With admonishing-fires the organizers point on a specific issue,...
A brief overview about CPUs 2017/2018 The development in PC-CPU-performance 2017: In the last 7 years there has been little progress at PC-processors: In terms of computational-performance and efficiency Intel was miles ahead of AMD and year for year...
With "Starsky & Hutch" a high-quality and especially formative crime-series debuted on the day exactly 40 years ago on April 30th 1975. Although I have known the series created between 1975 and 1979 during my childhood & youth, so in the 1980s and 1990s,...
After AMD last week has presented the revised graphics cards of the R3x0-series and this week the all-new FuryX graphics-card, equipped with revolutionary components, the 2015 line-up is almost complete. And since the latest AMD graphics-cards have caused...
About 4 years ago, in 2013, I stumbled upon the young British popera-duo "Jonathan & Charlotte" (this is Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli). Shortly thereafter I wrote a blog-entry about them.1 year later, in 2014, the duo broke-up then, whereat...

I have made several reminiscences to good television-series, but so far never for one newer than 15 years. "Life on Mars" however is something special, to me the best series of the 2000s in several ways: It is not a series from the USA but from the UK....
As written in my last blog entry, so it is fixed that AMD towards spring 2014 revises its Opteron server-processors. However i t is unclear so far whether also an update for the FX desktop-CPUs will be left over. For me and probably for all loyal AMD...
On April 8th 2013 t he first and so far only female British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died at the age of 87 years. Thatcher has been extremely polarizing already during her incumbency. That even dead she continues going to do so probably is historically...
Not only high time for a new blog-entry but also for my first originally in English written entry ever! Around 1 ½ weeks ago I was surfing Youtube for some music-video-clips. I don’t know what clip I have been searching for, but I for sure know one of...
Over 1 year ago, AMD has introduced its current FX-series-processors, codenamed "Vishera". The Piledriver-Cores used by the Visheras 2013 should have been revised as well as at the Trinity APUs. They haven't been so far however. This has been incomprehensible...

US CPU-manufacturer AMD has something really extra-ordinary in semi-conductors business: A loyal fanbase, you can even say a base of hardcore-fans of the company. As long as AMD processors are at least reasonable competitive to Intel, the top-dog among...
AMD is the world's No. 2 in PC processor market for around 1 ½ decades. AMD is distinguishing itself by products with an attractive price-performance ratio. Despite much lower brand awareness than the overwhelming market leader Intel, the Californians...
In „AMD stagnating“ I have made a critical analysis of AMDs status quo in early 2012. Today I want to show ways how AMD can get out of this mess. Especially I'm going to focus on AMDs processor-division, their graphics-division is already well on the...
