Will the "Haswell" processor be the next F1 Engine? Let's chime that into analysis


It has been 1 year & 3 months since sandy & ivy bridge came to market. Tech-gurus have managed to motivate consumers by allowing integration of Nvidia thus providing best performance when working across your device. Lets make it clear that top firms like Microsoft, & Apple have had and always made it on higher pedestal from the fact that engineering ivy & sandy wasn't a spare to unfold. Last year at world-wide-developers conference (wwdc) apple company unveiled both 13 and 15 inch MacBook pro all capacitance displaying ivy bridge in control, come to Microsoft, it's first PC, surface tablet survived round one with it also maintaining ivy processor on-board. Of-course other PC firms like Lenovo showcased the same but if i was to ask, will the incoming haswell processor be the next F1 engine to turn request for other companies to follow soot? I bet no......whatever am about to analyse should be taken with a clean, pinch of salt. technical- wise, ivy bridge processor has shown great interest to PC manufacturing firms. Take the case of execution be of great topic here. Ivy bridge, though not taking order of execution into consideration, it's to my opinion that, ivy still maintains a stable record in execution that haswell won't be holding if granted an additional 2 years. Analysts have argued that haswell will rather be sailing hot prior & after it's sale but afterwords maintain dormancy after 4-5 months of release. Features packed with haswell are quite liquiditive, ease the pain of less uphold of battery power, excellent data transfer with both front & back buses but won't satisfy it's consumers when it comes to real back-up of stability especially on complex operating systems . You wanna know why haswell's a passing cloud? check on these two principals i've down broken for you.

Out-of-order execution.

a processor executes instructions in an order governed by the availability of input data, rather than by their original order in a program. It's a mind blowing innovation, easy & somehow reliable when viewed from shallow angles but doesn't this alter system's developers pattern of formality? am assuming if complex operating systems like MS windows & OSX (x-versions) are to be directly layered on haswell processor then target firms developing these stand-alones' will have to layhands on a clean 1 billion hefty package to re-programme different layout of data transmission that may not favor the smooth rendering of haswell's program execution. Pointing on both ivy and sandy bridge, haswell emerges as complex processor that may not comply with hardwares' compatibility of standards. With 22nm on both old & the yet unveiled 4th generation processor, questions still revolve  as to whether out-of-order execution serves haswell a knight of Camelot.     

Desktops and server stations chip-sets maintains a C1-C4 power state design. 

C1-C4 are not tangible materials as many of you would think but rather, CPU / package sleep states that are governed by internal 3D-trigates that calculate transmissions of these CPU packages. Initially, both sandy & ivy bridge clogged the Q5-Q8 chipsets that are with no doubt chip-sets with right fitting instruction. Mobile devices clogged the QHM87 - QHM86 inbuilt chipsets that gave normal threshold lining of power consumption when entering standby/sleep mode. Today we're hinted to haswell, the 4th generation processor but do industries really want to unfold what was termed old & incapable with matters concerning power balance? It is a big YES that haswell will make us proud by mobilizing resources which will soon cut down heavy guzzling of power but what of C1-C4 chipsets? it won't change anything! 

Commentary:- Well, it's a battle for which series of processor gets in the consumer cycle. Intel hasn't failed yet but the huddle ahead makes no hive for it to delay further. The 4th generation processor will make progressions if only, matters concerning executions & chip-sets remuneration are taken via a live lens.

Security Alert: Microsoft trails off the 2nd time -- After 5 years in a row!

Commentary: - Does your new windows 8 desktop perform wide variety of smooth architectures regardless the software/programs installed? if not then blame it on Microsoft!
I don't understand why Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer is rather jocular than being composed when giving proper fore-steps as CEO. Checking the past, MS-Cop (Microsoft Cop) has given elegant directives & measures when combating issues with security threats. Mcafee  has hold the strong roots tangled & technically integrated with it's line of OS starting with WinXP all the way to it's latest OS, windows 8. Every year principals regarding security has given +ve graphs to ensure malware & other computer infections are taken care of. What does it tell when best performing students give head-shaking grades come end of term? does this concerns minimal exhaustions of brain cells as far as scanning therapy is concerned? why should it be a company like Microsoft that reigned before Apple Inc  obtaining the last pie of graph survey every time  principals in security organization come to table?

Poor levity construction within the OS architecture
 Last week a group of security on look-out made it's 5th base analysis on best ground breaking antiviruses' performance. This time OS architecture was line of topic with loops & code-bond being inclusive. Mac as a subsidiary OS as many view it, made the best, portraying core architecture with balanced line of code ( How execution of code is performed behind a system). Most malware inhibit the weakest point on loops most likely boot-sectors & kernel alliteration. Microsoft windows with 2 points on check made a down fall - tailing the performance chat with (-4.5) from (+6.2) of still a deduction of last years' performance of which (+8.5) was it's jaw dropping & most likely Excellent performance ever made in the index history in it's previous years. 


  On-going laxity on IS executive
For decades, company like Apple has reached on threshold & I don't think it's by treasure which uplifts the core excellence in making such a complex & magnified OS which is today known as the  Mac OS X . Mac, from the common word Macintosh has (IS) executive that form green flags when security issues is on the rise. Encapsulating it's line of security for the good of end-users. What of Microsoft? No one knows what Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) has been planning for Microsoft. Of-course Microsoft has given green light to it's surface tablet & i can't deny about it but with windows defender i can't say it's serving me purpose. Last week we had a case of zero day malware executing arbitrary code without the users knowledge, here, we had individuals running windows tolling the infection table with a total of 64% while the remaining pie under neutrality with slight infections of about 20 > 35%. 

- So far Microsoft's windows defender was trailing from behind as Bit-defender, Panda, avast, security essentials & Kaspersky made the top as leading & global, p security softwares with 4>5 star rating. Am currently switched to Mac OS X Snow White v10.6.5 taking over my system as i await Microsoft's finale change on it's windows defender. Still on doubt as to why such results have made Microsoft a nagging OS? point me your thoughts inside the comments' box.
