    What CPU should you choose?
     
    When choosing a CPU you should take into consideration what you will be using it for and your budget. These are the two main factors in choosing a CPU and getting these things wrong may cause a loss in performance when building your PC, the following scenarios should shed a light on the situation.
     
    Intel or AMD?
    This choice should be depend on your budget, not which company your prefer the most, otherwise you will not receive the best performance for the budget you are willing to spend. For lower budget systems, go with AMD, no questions asked. Their processors and APUs provide the best price to performance and will exceed processors from Intel at the same price point. However if you have a large budget Intel is the way to go, if you can afford to buy an Intel processor you will see a performance increase over the same tier AMD CPU. This is excellent for higher end PCs which need the extra performance.

    waxdt reacted to Samdb in META.01, Glass on steroids   
    Looking at the prototype you may think that this will be a colossal waste of time. However after some reading you may think differently. META.01 combines technology seen in devices such as Google Glass and combines it with the features that the Kinect sensor has to offer, with a tonne of features which are similar to Oculus Rift, however have added functionality. One feature that stood out to me was the 3D printing feature; the user was able to design an object using the device and then print the object for use, without the use of a computer or any wires, seamlessly.
     
    Another feature in the video was the gameplay section, where you are able to see a first person shooter game acted out as if you were the character, interacting with your surroundings and creating dynamic gameplay which could be very interesting if properly implemented. This somewhat reminded me of the VGHS game scenes in which the players would be acting out their actions in game, which could now be possible due to the META.01.
     

     
    Note: There is a very interesting video on Engadget's site, check it out.
