Sometimes my lack of techical savvy makes me feel so inadequate in trying to get a grip on the technology side of this business. My hat goes off to any and all of those who can grasp ths stuff. Here is an article from SeekingAlpha on an INTEL patent that just boggles my mind. I attempt to read these articles to learn as much as I can but in the end I just get more dumbfounded as to what is possible and what is fantasy.
Comments taken from the article like this below are what intrigue me yet also identify why it is important to never stop researching and learning:
"This particular Intel patent application seemed like it fell into this bucket and so I quickly moved on. As the year progressed, however, Intel began regularly using "CNL" as an abbreviation for their upcoming Cannonlake processor. When I came across the patent more recently, I noticed that the CNL abbreviation was present - I'd discovered Cannonlake's design.
And, boy, is it a doozy!
