Hardware the Focus this week

Intel's IDF is this week with their latest Skylake architecture being the focus. Xeon chips for mobile, 14nm architecture and rumours of massive improvements in single threaded apps. Oh, and overclocking is back with a vengeance.

Samsung also had their Unpacked event with bigger phones and a teaser for their iWatch, I mean, Gear S2. Nothing Earth Shattering here, but if you're into Tizen then you'll have a new device that will need testing.

Are you into programming to the metal? We have a ton of hardware related articles and are always looking for more. Hardware can be frustrating: help save someone hours of pain and submit your tip, trick or article today.

cheers,
Chris Maunder
