The world of the PCs, which has been living for quite a few years on earnings from its golden age of the past decade, is suffering a notable transformation in a very short period of time. When we talk about PCs, we are now not only talking about desktop computers, when all is said and done. Also included are laptop units, All in One units and desktop or gaming units.

The difference now between PCs and non PCs is the operating system which the unit uses, whether it is Windows, Chrome, OS, Linux or Mac on one side, or Android or iOS on the other. The division based on the type of processor used, whether one with x86 architecture or ARM architecture, will not be used any more, as we will see farther on.

It isn't the plan here to get too technical, but it is enough to say that the architecture of a processor defines what type of code it can interpret and execute. Programs, including operating systems, consist of instructions which are executed in the unit's processor....

Intel has gone back on its rather rash decision to pull advertising from the game industry site, Gamasutra. They resumed advertising about a day ago and even noted the importance of the site's audience to its own community.

Interestingly, the notable logos on the page show the usual suspects of AMD, Nvidia, and even Intel. The real interesting one is Qualcomm Snapdragon, meaning that DirectX 12 might have a big focus on future mobile devices.

It will be interesting to see if DirectX 12 requires all new hardware and/or a whole new operating system (Windows 9) just to be used....
