How are you running the script?
I have trying to create a script in VBS to delete oversized folders but both the DeleteFolder and Size methods give a Permission Denied error even though I full access to the folder tree in question.
Anybody come across this behaviour before?
How are you running the script?
No fancy XML stuff just yetCode:cscript foobar.vbs
Sorry, I meant are you running it as part of a scheduled task or logon script or something?
You may want to check that everything under the root folder is inheriting permissions or you have sufficient permissions. Also are you forcing the delete as it is set at false by default.
nope interactive while logged as admin. The folders were on a remote share if that makes any difference.Originally Posted by Jonno
The funning thing is though I could quite happily delete folders usins the RD /S batch command in a CMD sub shell.
I think the problem might be because the size and delete methods of a folder object cannot act on a folder more than 1 level deep.
You'd think the Microsoft programers could just make use of few recursive system calls
Works recursively here. Could be read-only files somewhere in the tree? If so, use filesystemobject.deletefolder "foldername",true - the true forces deletion of read-only files.Originally Posted by NetworkGeezer
Manage to fix your problem? I've been a bit slow to spot this thread!
Dunno about VBS, but I've coded C++ apps in .net that bring up this error. It happens if you try to access things across UNC/mapped drives (.net has a pile of BS 'security' additions that prevent code being executed in this way unless you 'appease' the security -- what nonsense!).
If you're running it off a network, try copying it to a local machine, failing that check if its trying to do network file access.
The force parameter worked but what I don't understand is why the same error comes up when you're just trying to find the folder size.
Read-only file blocking a recurisive delete but why what kind blocks directory sizing when you have admin priviliges.
Code C++ in .net? You bad boy. You don't believe Microsoft that C# is speedy enough for everybody.
I've never learned C# as such. I've always coded in C++ mainly due to coding for mac, linux and windows (impossible in C#) but now and then I have to code for Windows specific thing.
I code games as a hobby, C# is FAR too clunky for serious development in that area.
If there are any sub-folders which you don't have permission to access (because the permissions are wrong) then this will fail.Originally Posted by NetworkGeezer
I'm not absolutely sure why this is but I'd guess the logic is this: when you want to know the size of a folder the OS has to open that folder to see what's inside it. If you're not allowed to open that folder then you won't be able to get the size of it and the only sensible message to return is "access denied" - because that's what it is!
Are these user home folders? If so, I'd guess a user has created a folder and then changed the permissions so that only they have rights. This might be for badness or just because they're experimenting :-)
What I'd guess you need to do is make sure that you have rights to every folder in the tree before you try to find the size of the folders.
Alright this isn't making any sense. The trouble seems to come if I try to For Each (iterate) through a subfolders collection. I get "Permission Denied" when trying to get folder size of each constituent folder.
But if I use a FOR /F to get the folders and then call the VBS script using the folder name as an argument, the Folder.Size call works.
This has been the problem all along. My access rights are OK using command line or batch script to do the task but not VBS
I am the domain admin for pity's sake. Gimme the blasted information you blasted annoying script engine.
any chance you can post the script along with the error or better yet a screen shot of the error the script gives you
I get the permission denied error at the WScript.Echo line unless I either delete or comment out the objSubfolder.size term.Code:objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objHomeRoot = objFSO.GetFolder("E:\\Student\\HomeFolders\Year" & WScript.Arguments(0)) For Each objSubFolder In objHomeRoot.SubFolders WScript.Echo "Folder " & objSubFolder.Name & " occupies " & objSubFolder.size & " bytes" Next
I have also tried a test in JScript but with the same result "Permission Denied"
Code:fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); f = fso.GetFolder("E:\\Student\\HomeFolders\\Year7"); fc = new Enumerator(f.SubFolders) ; s = "" ; for (;!fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext()) { WScript.Echo(fc.fc.item().size); };
But the it the .size member works if I do it outside a For Each loop. Now as there is no way of refering to the constituents of the SubFolders collection without knowing their names this means I have to feed the names using FOR /F command subsitution:
which callsCode:CD E:\Student\HomeFolders\Year7 & FOR /F %f in ('DIR /AD /B ') do cscript /NoLogo HomeSize.vbs %f
This works but why not enumarating through a subfolders collection using For Each?Code:objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objHomeFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(WScript.Arguments(0)) WScript.Echo "Folder " & objHomeFolder.name & " consumes " & objHomeFolder.size
Aaargh!!! What is going on????

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Cook County Medical Examiner's office has released the name of a teenager who Chicago police say was shot and killed by officers as he rode down the street shooting a gun at pedestrians and then the officers themselves.
On Monday morning, the medical examiner's office identified the teen as 16-year-old Tywon Jones of Chicago.
In a news release, police say shortly after 4 on Sunday afternoon, officers heard the sound of gunshots in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the city's West Side and spotted a young man firing a gun as her rode a bicycle. The release says when the gunman fired at them, officers shot him. He was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The release says a handgun was recovered at the scene.

- Indian food... a little differentcknyDined on 11/22/2014The decor was very nice, and not like most traditional indian restaurants. Very modern and inviting. I am an indian food fan, having moved down here from the northeast, and have had a wide spectrum of indian food items and cuisines. Thus, I was very pleased with their non-traditional menu. However, the food wasn't quite as good as I was hoping. The chicken 65, fried chicken pieces, was pretty good but not outstanding. The spring dosa was decent, not quite as spectacular as the waiter raved. The whole fish special was particularly mediocre, despite being the waiter's fave food item -- I would not order that again. The spicy curry fish was excellent, but quite spicy. The donut balls dessert was like any other indian restaurant. Overall, a good experience, but a little let down by the food.I would recommend this to a friend.
- BofoodVIPDined on 10/21/2014amazing, flavorful meal. Highly recommend and will be back!Special Features:
- Authentic and creative Indian foodluv2goLocalVIPDined on 10/8/2014my husband and I have enjoyed Cholanad's food from when it first opened up until the present. Not only does it feature fresh and authentic southern Indian food, but it consistently does so and never fails to please. I just love the dosas, samosa chaat, breads and you can't go wrong with the chef's specials. I have been to India and do I feel like I am transported to India when I eat here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely mealbridgemavenDined on 8/15/2014The meal was lovely with great food and excellent service. The only down side was the noise. There's nothing to absorb it and after a while it gets VERY loud. However, the food is so good that we keep going back anyway.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent variety of tasty foodsjudeDined on 8/2/2014Heard that Cholanad's was the best Indian food in the Triangle area, and our experience supports that contention. With a party of four, everyone choose different dishes, and we all were impressed. The scallop and lamb dishes were particularly good, quite filling and just the right amount and types of spices. Our waitress was efficient and helpful in selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 83 reviews are from the Cholanad Restaurant and Bar reviews archive.
- Excellent authentic foodtarheelVIPDined on 6/7/2014This is our third time visiting this restaurant and it is absolutely delicious. The food is always cooked perfectly, the portions are large enough for sharing, and each bite is tasty. The quality of the food is consistently good and the price is very good as well for being a restaurant on Franklin street. The mutton biryani is our favorite along with of course the Dosa's. Hopefully, they can keep up the quality as this has now become one of our favorite places. Plenty of parking as well. The chef always stops by our table which is a nice touch as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of our favorite spotsEBBrDined on 5/29/2014My wife and I have eaten at Cholanad half a dozen times or more and each time we've been impressed by the flavoring of the food -- it's both complex and intense. I recently enjoyed the whole fish on a banana leaf; it was covered in a paste of tamarind and other spices that was truly excellent.Special Features:
- Great food, fair serviceToddDined on 5/26/2014This was our second visit, and it matched the first visit. The food was excellent, good portions and very tasty. The service was on the poor side both times, however. We were there for 10 minutes before anyone came to our table (it was not busy), then we never received our drinks even after 2 reminders to our waiter. We may visit again, but only for the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique and flavorful!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/26/2014Brought a friend here as a special meal. Cholanad did not disappoint! We were able to sit outside, which was very pleasant (though small - you can't count on sitting outside). Ordered a variety of foods and liked them all -- lamb chops, crab and lentil cutlets, and scallops. Service was great - I would highly recommend, and we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- favorite restaurant in chapel hillFoodieFromNCDined on 5/16/2014Whenever we go to chapel hill for a performance, we make time to eat at Cholo Nad. Food is consistently terrific, atmosphere is elegant & relaxing. Sumash is a gracious host. Food is to Indian food what nouvelle cuisine is to French food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unbelievable!onjaEatsVIPDined on 5/3/2014I had heard this restaurant was good, but it exceeded all expectations! The Dosa rolls are amazing. The portions are large and the quality was very high.Special Features:
- Great food, terrible serviceTonyTDined on 4/27/2014I'll let the facts speak for themselves: My wife and I arrived at 7:35 for our 7:30 reservation on a Sunday night (it was hard to find parking). We sat at the bar for 20 minutes buying time (though a 2-top was set for at least 7 minutes of that time). It was 10 minutes before the server greeted us, longer before we got water (already had wine glasses). We ordered an appetizer and then dinner about 5 minutes before the appetizer. We got the app in a reasonable time, but we did not get our food until 9pm!!! It was at least 30 minutes between finishing the app and getting our dinner. Some in the restaurant walked out. In add fairness, the dining room was under staffed—only two servers. On the up side, the food (vegetarian) was delicious.Special Features:
- Great Indian foodJamesVIPDined on 4/27/2014Despite not being a fan of Indian food, I come back to Cholonand almost every time I'm in Chapel Hill. That's how good the food is. I recommend the Rogan Josh.
- Good food but a cool welcomeDurhamnosherDined on 2/22/2014We visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday Night having read about it in the newspaper as the best Local Indian restaurant.. Although we had booked a table, the hostess barely acknowledged us and then spent several minutes frantically checking her ipad. We were finally given a table, which consisted of the hostess throwing the menus on a table and walking off without a word. Frankly if hadn't been for the fact that we had driven an hour to get there, we would have left. Things did improve however after that and the very sweet waitress was very courteous. Our food arrived very quickly and it was very tasty. it is a shame that your first impression of the restaurant is so bad. Not sure if we would go again.
- Clean, Great quality, and TastytarheelVIPDined on 2/19/2014Went for the first time last weekend with my father after hearing good reviews. The food was very tasty with decent sized portions, the restaurant was very clean, and the chef/owner came out to check on us mid meal. Overall, good quality with an authentic taste and friendly service will have us coming back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative Indian cuisineAndresVIPDined on 2/16/2014Quite a vibrant scene, great food, and we ordered took advantage of the 1/2-priced wine bottles. Indian meal full of surprising twists to old favorites like samosas.Special Features:
- Best Indian restaurant in NCJamesVIPDined on 2/8/2014My wife and I dine at Cholanad almost very time we visit Chapel Hill. We are not avid fans of Indian food, but this place is exceptional. We recommend the rogan josh.
- Excellent Indian foodTonyBDined on 2/6/2014Excellent, authentic Indian food. Mainstream and rustic dishes. Lamb Rogan Josh: braised lamb served with fresh tomatoes. There is a little heat in the spice, but not overpowering. Chicken naan was almost crisp on the outside but juicy and flavorful. The curried spinach was velvety. Gobi Manchurian: small pieces of cauliflower lightly seasoned and seared golden brown over rice. Plates arrived with an immense piece of fresh, warm naan bread. There is an excellent choice of beers. Comfortable room with light wood, white walls and table cloths. Banquets along one wall If you love Indian food go here! I'm from Chicago, where there is no shortage of excellent Indian cuisine and this restaurant would still be at or near the top of my list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience for newbiesanonDined on 1/31/2014I took my boyfriend and his parents to Cholanad, all three of whom had never had South Indian food before. We tried the masala dosa, the utthapam, the appetizer sampler, and the whole fish. Three out of four dishes would've been enough, but every one of them was delicious. We also tried 4 different cocktails that were all really interesting and tasty. Overall, it was a great experience for 3 first-timers and the food and service were excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great neighborhood restaurant!!ThetravelersVIPDined on 1/18/2014We love the cozy atmosphere of Cholanad. Our selection for appetizers and dinners were perfect. The scallops were tender & sweet. This was our 2nd visit and plan to return often.Special Features:
- GREAT RESTAURANTbridgemavenDined on 1/14/2014We've been to Chola Nad several times and each visit has been outstanding. The food is so wonderfully spiced and the service was caring and friendly. We enjoyed everything about it. I had the lamb that was succulent and delicious. My husband had the whole fish that he raved about, so we had a terrific dinner. I would highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh and Delicious Indian Cuisine!Foodie2014Dined on 12/29/2013The Menu is great and filled with a mix of classic and regional cuisine from the different states in India. Dishes taste authentic and are flavorful. A must hangout place with family and friends with great food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the food!VickiVIPDined on 12/25/2013Our reservation on Christmas day was honored! Great food, great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Indian FoodCHwineanddineDined on 12/25/2013My husband and I went to Cholanad on Christmas evening as there we not many restaurants open, and we were so glad we did. I am a lover of Indian food and Cholanad did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was a perfect mixture if hot, spicy, cool and tangy/sweet from the appetizers to the main courses. The wine list was pretty decent as well. The service was good, although there were many questions we asked the waiter that needed to be answered by others. There was another restaurant before Cholanad in the same location and my recollection is everything inside is the same, so no updating. The pricing was reasonable for a Chapel Hill eatery. We would definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- For the Love of EggplantOutofTownDinerDined on 12/11/2013The charred eggplant was maybe the best version of this dish I'd ever had, I ate nearly every bite of the generous portion, a rarity when out for Indian cuisine. The papads were underwhelming, lacking crispness and freshness, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. Service was so-so, as I was there in a corner by myself I think I was forgotten at first, it took a while to get an order in. The chef came out to ask about my meal, a nice gesture, and I was pleased to give a good report. In the end, I enjoyed my meal immensely and if were ever back in Chapel Hill I'd be eager to visit Cholanad again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hoping for betterOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/30/2013The Vegetable Bhaji were very little vegetable and a lot of a puffed 'batter'. They were mostly tasteless and the potato ones were completely undercooked. They were served with a spicy and tasty green sauce that at least added flavor but could do nothing about the texture. The chicken and fish curries we got tasted good but my chicken pieces were like bricks. The rice was Jasmin rice vs a Basmati. As a result it was a bit mealy texture wise. We got a potato dish which somebody had put so much Asafoetida into that it was extremely unpleasant. As I reached over to get some naan bread I would get a whiff of it and it was repellent. I didn't complain as I didn't know what teh dish was when I ordered it so maybe its supposed to taste that way?
- Great food at a great price!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/22/2013I am never let down when I go to Cholanad. The food is excellent and the portions are GENEROUS...always. No matter what I get, whether lunch or dinner, I have left overs. The staff s always, was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The owner of Cholanad always visits every table in some way, whether to bring the food or to have a chat with the customers. This is one of the only places in CH that I've seen this happen and I appreciate it. He's always there and always attentive. My ONLY complaint and it's not really a complaint is that I wish they had hot coffee and tea for after dinner...or perhaps a nice espresso. However, this does not take away from the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Every meal there is a pleasure, made so in part because of the attention given by the chef-owner and his personal warmth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Accessible IndianFreqDinerDined on 11/2/2013Cholanad is moderately-sized -- it feels intimate, yet it easily accommodated our group of five. The portions are also moderate, so a diner does not have to feel that she can never eat again after leaving. Best of all, the menu is enticing, with a mix of items one is used to seeing on an Indian menu -- samosas, Tiki Masala -- to dishes with traditional ingredients served in new ways. Try the Tropical Beach Lentils appetizer, accented with grated coconut and mango, served attractively in a paper-lined wire cone usually reserved for french fries. The samosa appetizer is also delicious; they are tiny, so you can enjoy them and still have room for dinner. As for dinner, we have liked everything from the specialties to the dosas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A white dove showed up at our house one day and has stayed here because we have bird feeders in our yard. I was wondering what we could do for it during the winter as far as housing. I would prefer not to try and bring it inside but I didn't know if there was a way to keep it safe outside during the harsh winter weather.

Protecting Yourself
Even cautious users can't be certain of security. Most pay-to-access wireless networks do not include encryption because the provider would have to share the password with everyone in advance. That means an attacker could easily get a copy of it and decrypt traffic anyway. Even if a provider has a properly secured SSL-encrypted payment gateway, there's nothing to prevent anyone from watching your traffic or sniffing passwords, for example. Encryption of all your network traffic will provide such protection, as I covered in my "Secret Tunnels" article [6]. If you don't have a server to run your VPN traffic through, you might want to try the IPREDator VPN service [7]. IPREDator provides a PPTP-encrypted [8] VPN connection for EUR 5 a month, tunneling all your traffic to Sweden, where strict privacy laws should prevent access to it.

Right up there with our annual promise to exercise more or lose weight is our pledge to master our money, but how well do we keep that oath?
For five years at the Philadelphia Inquirer I wrote a personal finance column. I spent another four years at The Wall Street Journal. What I enjoyed most was talking with everyday people who, through disciplined saving and investing, had managed to accumulate real wealth.
Here are five things they had in common:
They mastered the basics: Nothing else matters if you won't live within your means. That means managing (or eliminating) credit card debt. It means protecting your credit score. It means getting the most out of your employee benefits – maxing out your 401(k) retirement plan, if you can, and using medical savings accounts, etc. Most important, it means living on less than you earn and being willing to save or invest the difference. It has become cliché, but you really do have to pay yourself first.
They had budgets: Sure it sounds boring, but nothing is more vital to smart money management than having a budget, and not just vague figures rolling around in our head. Your budget should be written down and referenced often. Trying to establish a financial plan without a budget is like trying to drive to a distant city you've never visited without a road map (or GPS). A budget's primary function is to keep you on track and show you where your cash is going, and once you know that, it's easier to find areas where you can save or make adjustments.
They set SMART goals: It's not enough to simply say you want to save money or establish wealth. How much wealth, and how quickly? If you say you want to have $1 million in assets by age 40, that represents a SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound) goal. Once you have set your target, you can better determine how much you will need to accumulate each year, month, week or day to arrive at your destination. Reaching those intermediate milestones also keeps you encouraged.
They used time wisely: Unless you're lucky enough to win the lottery or come into some other unexpected windfall, you probably won't get rich overnight. Those who grow wealth understand that time is an ally. They start early in life saving and investing, and they allow the magic of compounding (or dividend reinvesting) to work to their advantage.
They understood financial markets: This doesn't mean you must become Warren Buffett, but it does mean that you should acquire a basic understanding of stocks, bonds and money markets, and by extension the various types of mutual funds that invest in those instruments. It's amazing how some people who are competent in other areas of their lives suddenly become childlike when it comes to money management. The basic principles are not difficult. Start with a good book. The Wall Street Journal publishes a series of guides that focus on personal finance. Two of my favorites are "The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Personal Finance" and "The Wall Street Journal Lifetime Guide to Money." Find copies online for as little as $5.

Intel to put pedal to metal in 14nm Atom upgrade
When the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) kicks off in San Francisco on September 10, Chipzilla may announce that it will radically accelerate its development of 14-nanometer Atom processors. So says a report by Barron's, citing "a person close to Intel" who told the financial news service that the chipbaking giant will trim its …
Fab 42
From Jimbo's emporium of knollij: On February 18, 2011, Intel announced that it will construct a new $5 billion fab in Arizona, designed to manufacture chips using 14 nm manufacturing processes and leading-edge 300 mm wafers. The new lab will be named Fab 42, and construction will start in the middle of 2011. Intel billed the new facility as "the most advanced, high-volume manufacturing facility in the world," and said it would come on line in 2013.
Re: Fab 42
That's great. Now if they would just use it to make 14 nm ARM chips, they might sell a few...
Re: Fab 42
Gotta laugh at Chizilla so obviously shitting bricks. Don't remember it happening for quite a while. Not since AMD pulled the 64bit rug out from under Itanium? Good to see a bit of healthy competition galvanising Intel's resolve again.
Methinks it might already be to late though: The phone market seems close to saturated and moving rapidly into a pricewar mode. Same for tablets. Hard to see a premium x86 part suddenly making huge inroads into that sort of market. Niche "premium" products like MS's next surface no doubt but their "premiumness" will almost certainly continue to guarantee their nicheness.
The server racket's another matter though. May well help Intel fend off the ARM advance into servers for a while longer. I wonder how the performance/power/price metrics will compare.
But what next? Won't 14nm leave only one more shrink in Intel's arsenal? Or is there an ace lurking up Chipzilla's sleeve?
Re: Fab 42
"May well help Intel fend off the ARM advance into servers for a while longer. I wonder how the performance/power/price metrics will compare."
I wonder that too.
I wonder specifically because I'd love to know how much of a datacentre power budget is influenced by the CPU chip in use, rather than (say) storage, connectivity, etc. Any references around?
Whatever ARM (and partners) do, they're not going to significantly change the datacentre power budgets for storage, connectivity, etc. If they have much of a power/thermal impact on servers (and on the corresponding cooling) I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Desktops etc are a different ball game.
With Intel not really having any competition on the desktop/server side of things, maybe they should introduce their mobile (Atom) chips first on the new process? Find any issues with a lower volume part and they still maintain the lead in process size over their competitors.
Competition is a wonderful thing
Sounds like Intel are all out of ideas and now left only with process improvements to compete with ARM - that may work initially but ARM and their partners won't be hanging around so how much time does this buy Intel, a year of competitiveness? Maybe 18 months.
And then there is still the issue of unit price - Intel being way more expensive than ARM though the move to 14nm should help here - and lack of SoC customisability. So still a few hurdles before Intel can really compete with ARM, but I'm sure Intel will achieve some 14nm tablet/smartphone design wins by hook or by crook... they know they have to.
Re: Competition is a wonderful thing
It's common to see the assumption thrown about here that Intel on mobile is uncompetitive, slow, expensive etc. But honest question - why are we seeing Android tablets now based on Intel, including flagships like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3?
Unlike a Windows (or Linux or OS X) device, there's no reason to do so from a compatibility point of view, on the contrary, it's a slight downside as some Android applications won't run on Intel.
Re: Competition is a wonderful thing
"why are we seeing Android tablets now based on Intel, including flagships like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3?

Are you aware that Intel have a history of paying market-leading customers to use their chips rather than the competition's? Obviously they wouldn't be doing that again, new management etc.
Anyway, best-known might be the Dell-Intel deals as reported here and elsewhere e.g.
"Though last week's settlement between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Dell was anticipated -- the computer maker admitted no wrongdoing and agreed to pay about $100 million in fines -- it was nevertheless a stunning event both in terms of the charges it leveled against Dell and those it reinforced against semiconductor giant Intel.
Amid accusations of both earnings manipulation and apparent antitrust violations, the SEC paints a picture of the computer industry in which the near-monopolist Intel (INTC, Fortune 500) is the master puppeteer and the computer makers are little more than its marionettes. When Intel rival AMD (AMD, Fortune 500) first propounded this dark view of the world in an antitrust suit against Intel in June 2005 it seemed like a wacky conspiracy theory; now it has been endorsed by regulators for 30 countries, including ours.
In its complaint, the SEC alleges that, from May 2001 through January 2006, Dell (DELL, Fortune 500) created the false impression that it had met or exceeded analysts' consensus earnings-per-share expectations in 20 straight quarters. In reality, says the SEC, Dell wouldn't have met its numbers once during that period without secret payments from Intel that were made in exchange for Dell's agreement not to use any AMD chips.
Thus, the SEC has now become the sixth regulatory body worldwide -- and the third in the United States -- to conclude that Intel made improper payments throughout much of the last decade to persuade computer makers to bar or sharply limit their use of AMD chips. Though these payments allegedly began in 2001, under Intel's now retired CEO Craig Barrett, the practice allegedly continued and expanded under Intel's current CEO, Paul Otellini, according to the SEC.
Intel has always denied making such payments" (article continues)
Re: Competition is a wonderful thing
"Are you aware that Intel have a history of paying market-leading customers to use their chips rather than the competition's?"
But the original claim included "And then there is still the issue of unit price - Intel being way more expensive than ARM", so which is it - is it more expensive than ARM, or less so?
Yes, it may be that it's only less expensive because Intel are currently subsidising it; it may be that Intel have higher prices for some customers and lower prices for "market-leading" ones; but that's fair game for Intel to do - the point is, we're looking at it from the point of view of those market-leading customers. I don't see how you can simultaneously claim Samsung are better off with ARM because it's cheaper, whilst saying they only use Intel because, er, it's cheaper. The alleged wrongdoing of Intel you reference is more about collusion and antitrust issues (which perhaps would apply far less in a market where they aren't dominant?) - in principle, if a company says "Our TVs cost £1000 but we'll pay you £500 to buy one" is no different to "Our TV costs £500"; the issue is more dodgy deals and collusion to limit competition.
I can accept that maybe Intel are only getting somewhere in mobile because of offering a lower cost to companies, but they can't then be criticised for being more expensive.
So now that we've established the price issue isn't true, how does performance compare? Again, an honest question - I've long wanted to see benchmarks comparing Intel to ARM on CPU and GPU, but I've so far only found charts that compare within each family. I realise benchmarks can be misleading, but is there any attempt to come up with a rule of thumb for comparing? (E.g., it's possible to have a rough idea of how Intel and AMD CPUs compare, or how Intel, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs compare.) That I'll probably get voted down for merely asking the question rather than given evidence doesn't gives me even less confidence on these claims...
Re: Competition is a wonderful thing
"I can accept that maybe Intel are only getting somewhere in mobile because of offering a lower cost to companies, but they can't then be criticised for being more expensive."
Please consider the difference between cost for chip vendor to build, cost to system vendor to buy, etc.
It's perfectly possible (and probably even legal in the phone market) for Intel to sell chips to Samsung for less than it costs Intel to build them. But it may not be sustainable for very long. Intel could do it if they wanted to because they have plenty of cash in the bank. They might do it if they needed to encourage a lead customer or two to seed the "Intel in phones" market. Intel need a success or two outside their legacy IT marketplace. See where all that leads? Selling chips at very low (negative?) margins in order to seed a market?
ARM and partners don't need to play that kind of silly games with subsidised prices. The integration options already available from ARM partners are way ahead of what's available from Intel, and mean that the system cost is likely to be more attractive on ARM than Intel for a while yet, where subsidies aren't involved.
"is there any attempt to come up with a rule of thumb for comparing? "
Think about what you want to use the "system" for, and find a relevant benchmark, perhaps an indepently reproducible one. Coremark is good from that point of view for 'core' number-crunching functionality. It's not a phone benchmark though, nor is it a GPU benchmark. Those aren't really my areas, and the benchmarks in those fields that I'm aware of aren't exactly agreed as independent yet, afaict.
Benchmarks measure what they measure. In order to avoid being duped by benchmarketing, it helps to understand whether what a given benchmark measures is being measured fairly, and whether what they measure is relevant to the matter at hand, e.g. any design/purchase decision you may be thinking about.
A benchmark which is easily reproducible (such as CoreMark) can be good for that - you can get the sources, look at them, build it and run it yourself. BigData SAP benchmarks and that kind of thing are less easily reproducible because of the costs (including expensive skills) involved.
"I'll probably get voted down for merely asking the question"
Not by me you won't. It's a perfectly fair question, one which should be frequently asked.
That any good to you?
ARM is not Intel is not ARM
ARM is a design house. Intel is a foundry and design house. Comparing ARM and Intel doesn't really make sense. What makes sense is to compare Intel processor design with ARM processor design. As someone who has worked with both Intel processors and ARM cores, both are excellent for the tasks designed; both design houses are top-notch.
The question that I see will be answered is whether having design and foundry people as one can produce a better (someone else can define "better") product. ARM has numerous independent foundries using their IP which has worked out quite well to date for ARM. However, as Intel starts moving into ARM arena, will the advantage of having chip designers being part of the same team with the foundry outweigh ARMs business model; which model will win out when it comes to creating greater power efficiencies coupled with increasing computing power.
In the end, power and efficiency boils down to who makes the best transistor ergo my money is on Intel even if ARM comes up with a better design.
Re: ARM is not Intel is not ARM
However, as Intel starts moving into ARM arena, will the advantage of having chip designers being part of the same team with the foundry outweigh ARMs business model;
I think you'll find that ARM and their designers work very closely with their foundry/silicon partners, you'd be naiive to think otherwise.
In the end, power and efficiency boils down to who makes the best transistor ergo my money is on Intel even if ARM comes up with a better design.
Intel has more invested in process technology than anyone else, and are using that rather than better designs to achieve similar power efficiency of existing ARM designs built on larger nodes. It's likely Intel will hit the process wall before ARM, making ARM the better bet over the longer term. Any performance advances Intel makes as a result of improved process nodes are likely to be temporary, achieving mostly parity with existing ARM designs until ARM silicon partners catch up and move ahead once again.
The other thing is whether Intel can survive on the wafer thin margins found in the ARM marketplace - Intel have enjoyed fat margins for most of their existence which has funded their expensive fab development. That's not likely to continue with Atom, particularly if Intel sell at cost (or less) to achieve market share. On price alone it's difficult to see how Intel can realistically (and honestly) compete with ARM products, but given Intels history I fully expect them to find "a way".
Re: ARM is not Intel is not ARM
I recognise your point when it comes to the traditional processor market. However when it comes to the mobile and high power efficiency markets then SOC becomes very important and I believe that ARM will continue to have a real advantage there unless Intel make a big move to open up their fabs.
An Intel closed design SOC, no matter how good it is, will define the capabilities of a device. All that the downstream manufactures will be adding is a case so margins will be very slim. With ARM a company can design their own SOC, built out of IP blocks from multiple sources, and have a chance to differentiate themselves from the competition and charge a higher margin.
If Intel SOCs turn out significantly cheaper than sticking with ARM manufactures will have to go Intel (I'm not sure that is going to happen, smaller processes are getting VERY expensive) otherwise I think they will be reluctant to move.
Re: ARM is not Intel is not ARM
"power and efficiency boils down to who makes the best transistor ergo my money is on Intel even if ARM comes up with a better design."
So the system architecture, instruction set, etc, is largely irrelevant?
The fact that an SoC from an ARM partner potentially includes far more than just the CPU core(s), which potentially requires mixed technologies not traditionally associated with Intel's x86-centric processes, is largely irrelevant?
Well the market's got news for folk like you.
x86 depends on Windows. Where there's no need for Windows, it's x86 that's largely irrelevant. Look around you. x86 computing has been irrelevant in volume terms for a few years outside the desktop and datacentre, and I don't currently see any way that Intel can change that whilst remaining as profitable as their x86 range has historically been.
Interesting times.

Yes, at least according to "Power Struggles: Revisiting the RISC vs. CISC Debate

That looks like interesting reading, thank you.
It covers the instruction set(s), and understandably concludes that it many cases there's not much in it, except at low power and high power extremes. I think many of us suspected that already, but it's always good to see objective analysis with references.
It doesn't seem (at a quick glance) to say much what goes on the SoC itself and what goes elsewhere (they make no claim to address that?), which is part of what I meant by "system architecture". In many cases that's going to be far more important than the ISA, and is where Intel have so much to catch up on. If they even can.
Naturally, it will come with a new socket
requiring all the 'i' fans to buy new mobo's
gotta keep the market going somehow...
for that reason it gets a --->>>
Re: Naturally, it will come with a new socket
Atom chips don't use sockets.
They are soldered directly to the mainboard.
Atoms are primarily used in portables and embedded devices - ease of upgrade isn't such an issue there..

On his banjo head, he had inscribed the phrase "This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender."
Ray Kennedy
Ray Kennedy's career began as a teenager playing big band jazz saxophone in the early-'60s, eventually becoming a blue-eyed soul singer.

It looks like our legislators are about to lose one of their most cherished perks: free football tickets. Bless their hearts.
When I spoke up for public schools in my last column, I had no idea that Dr. John Barge, current state superintendent of schools, was about to announce his candidacy for governor. So, I must say that although we will probably agree on a number of issues, I am not "politicking" for Barge.
Dear Syrian Rebels: I thought I'd take a minute to correspond with you as you resume your efforts to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. You are no doubt disappointed that the United States government chose not to come to your aid as they promised. There is a good reason and that is my purpose in writing you.
I was honored Aug. 30 to be the keynote speaker at the Lanier Technical College's GED graduation at Free Chapel in Gainesville.
Because I have been physically confined and not "out and about," and because I don't have my computer available, I've done very little column writing recently except ones dealing with personal situations. But there's a public issue that I really want to understand better and to comment about: Why are public schools under such attack?
It is flattering to have readers tell me I should run for public office. There are also an equal number of adoring fans that say I should stick my head in a bucket of tar. But that is a topic for another day.
When the news broke recently of a school shooting in Dekalb County, I'm sure each of you joined me in saying a prayer for the safety of the children and employees. Thankfully, in this situation no one was hurt and the individual that was responsible was taken into custody.
Rats! As if creating this profound and pithy prose each week wasn't hard enough, now I have discovered a legislator with a sense of humor. The apocalypse is upon us.
The local economy is slowly getting better. Statistically that is true, although many people think the economy is still in the tank. They have a point. Analysis suggests that the recovery is about 40 percent at this point. That is significant, but for many people the recovery has yet to appear at their doorstep.
Please indulge me a moment of introspection and feel free to think along with me. Chances are what I am going to say may apply to you as well.
Editor's Note: This is the first of several articles by Dawson County Sheriff Billy Carlisle designed to give readers a better understanding of applicable state laws and responsible firearms ownership.
Thank you for the article about Dot and Loy Rouse.
Is the Dawsonville Music & Beer Festival portraying the right image for the kids of our county and for the kids for Zac Brown's camp for which some of the funds are being raised?
If public education in Georgia doesn't have enough problems, there is now a high-profile ruckus between Gov. Nathan Deal and State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. It has gotten so peevish that there is talk that the school superintendent may challenge Deal in the Republican gubernatorial primary next spring.
In recent years the term illiteracy has been used to describe the condition of people unable to cope with printed materials relevant to their needs.
I stepped nervously through the glass door of the main exhibition racquetball court to start my semi-final match.
On my "To Do" list last week was a reminder to call former Gov. Carl Sanders and see if he had any thoughts on how to get the field at Sanford Stadium named for UGA's former coach and athletic director Vince Dooley.
I am writing regarding Dawsonville's Veterans Day Celebration.
I was on St. Simons Island last week scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed Junior up when I told him that.
Well, this morning (Nov. 11) I got up out of bed, exhausted and not motivated to do much. I turned on the computer and thought maybe this year I would attend some veteran's appreciation event.
This is a story I shared with some of you a couple of years ago but given the well-deserved tributes this week to our veterans, it seems an appropriate time to share it with all of you. It is about a terrorist; an honest-to-God terrorist. Not only does he not deny the appellation, he's proud of it.
I called Junior E. Lee and asked when he would have some post-election analysis to share with you. Junior, as you know, is general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located in Greater Garfield, Ga., home of Round-or-Square Polls, whose motto is "You supply the dough and we will cook the results." Junior E. Lee is also a certified pest control professional. That is a rare combination these days and I am very proud of him as are the citizens of Greater Garfield.
My name is Judy Cox, wife of "good ole boy" Joe Lane Cox.
A wise man once said that our only reason for occupying space on this earth is to leave things better than we found them. Unfortunately, not enough of us will. Len Pagano is an exception.
Last week Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jason Carter shared via this column his vision for public education in Georgia.
"You need to write something about domestic violence," a friend told me recently. I hadn't thought about tackling that subject because so many others have done so.
With all of the attack ads running on TV this election season, Georgians have no doubt had their fill of pessimism and negativity.
For more than 40 years I was fortunate to be able to work in international business. I traveled the globe, not as a simple tourist, but living, in some cases for years, in other countries, getting to really know the people, the cultures and the governments in those many places.
I have asked the two major gubernatorial candidates to talk to Georgia public school teachers about their respective education platforms. This week the floor belongs to Jason Carter, the Democratic challenger. Next week, it will be Republican Gov. Nathan Deal's turn.
