The Internet tilts the tables in favor of digital processing power, bandwidth and software products that scale.
Today the cheapest resources are computer power and bandwidth.
Power, not bandwidth, has become the central challenge for wireless.
FORBES: New York, Black Swans, Blackouts and Anti-Fragile Grids
Bradley is moving on to talk about a tool called Application Resource Optimizer, which is intended to make your apps run faster, use less power and consumer bandwidth more efficiently.
This April, the desktop computing giant jumped into the game with its own Windows Azure-based IaaS. Microsoft announced that it would price-match Amazon EC2 for storage, compute power and network bandwidth.
The new-breed intermediaries will harness the power of chips, bandwidth, software and the Web.
Computer power, storage and bandwidth get better and cheaper by the year.
Its power and smarts and bandwidth will continue to expand, and viewing habits will fragment further, eroding the notion of millions of people viewing a single program at the same time.
Altera's next-generation products will now include 14nm, in addition to previously announced 20nm technologies, extending the company's tailored product portfolio that meets myriad customer needs for performance, bandwidth and power efficiency across diverse end applications.
ENGADGET: Intel lands Altera as its biggest chip manufacturing customer to date
For instance, high definition 1080p video can be converted to lower resolution 480p video to play on a smartphone (conserving network bandwidth and battery power) and, at the same time, to 720p video for displaying clearer pictures on a tablet.
ENGADGET: Intel launches Atom CE5300-based storage platform with multiple streams, smart scaling
Put simply, this means creating pools of processing power, storage capacity and network bandwidth.
Alot of non-technical saavy people who have more power than they deserve seem to think that bandwidth speeds upwards of gigabit are useless, even though realistically this is what we need to efficiently run cloud applications across the internet.
FORBES: Microsoft Still Can't Find Its Future. Is It Too Late for the Company?
The combination of enhanced bandwidth and higher capacities make the Vector PCIe SSD Series ideal for power users, content creation and workstation applications.
ENGADGET: OCZ demos Vector SSD in even speedier PCI Express form for the pros
As bandwidth becomes cheap and ubiquitous, people will want 3-d power as much online as they do now in desktop games, and the demand for graphics processors will grow.
As Moore's Law (computing power of a chip doubles every 18 months) continues to unfold and as bandwidth capacity continues to explode, just-turn-on-the-switch, easy-to-use high-tech appliances for specific functions will proliferate.
While computing power still adheres to Moore's Law, Gilder's Law decrees that bandwidth is growing and will continue to grow ten times faster.
