Basically a cloud caching system for shaders that can replace the local compilation step with a download! Currently supported for Xbox Ally products on the Xbox store, with an open SDK for other storefronts and products coming in September.

Very exciting stuff that is a long time coming!

Why are the names like LGA1200, LGA1700, and then... LGA1851?

If they already rebranded to Core Ultra, then why not change the socket names to something more accessible? For example I and then year. Say, Intel I24 socket. Easy to remember, easy to communicate, year of release lets it be nice and numbered up to I99...

AMD just has AM#. AM5. AM4. AM3. Easy. Simple. Accessible.

Update: thanks for the replies, from the techical aspects (land grid array and pin number), to the fact it's inertia and people are used to it.

I still stand that for marketing purposes companies should strive to make more accessible names (looking at monitors, for example), but it's workable enough.

I've lived long enough to in real time see the shift Hard drives to SSD to memory-sticks...yet despite being now only used in bulk storage they still are produced and in bulk...so that leaves me with a question: How long will they?

I haven't looked up the industry in specific, but it seems like every year the use case for anything EXCEPT bulk storage is lesser and lesser. Is there something I am missing or is really a dying medium of storage as I assume it is? And if so, when will the killing blow be made if ever to it?
