== Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Computer hardware ==

[[Wikipedia:Release Version|Wikipedia 0.7]] is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team]] has made an [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-13/HTML/ automated selection of articles for Version 0.7].

FYI, if anyone could go to an AT&T store and get us a free picture of this particular smartphone before it fades into electronics oblivion, that'd be great. <span style="border:1px solid #f57900;padding:1px;">[[User:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#8f5902;">[[User:ViperSnake151|ViperSnake151]]</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#fff; background:#fcaf3e;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</fontspan>]] </span> 05:54, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

==Reminder of Participation==

Hello! You're still a participant in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing/Computer_hardware_task_force|WikiProject Computing Computer Hardware Task Force]]. This is just a reminder, as the project has been inactive for a while, and I wanted to give you a chance to review your participation.

Not all pinged participants may be active, but are being pinged as a just-in-case (maybe they get email notifications?) --[[User:Moonythedwarf|moonythedwarf]] (Braden N.) 20:48, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

:I am active in maintaining computer hardware articles. The task force doesn't help me to do this but I want to stay listed in case someone comes up with something that is worth doing. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 21:53, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

:I'm honored to be listed twice ;). I'm not overly active, but I watch numerous virtual reality hardware articles and occasionally improve them. Articles on AMD hardware are also something I edit at times. --[[User_talk:Veikk0.ma|Veikk0.ma]] 19:23, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

:I only recently added myself. I spend most of my time over on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Nintendo|the WPVG Nintendo Task Force]], but I often lurk around computer hardware articles, especially AMD hardware, and Intel CPU architectures. <strong>[[User:ATMarsden|<span style="color:Blue">AT</span><span style="color:Red;">Marsden</span>]][[User talk:ATMarsden|<sup style="color:Blue">Talk</sup>]]</strong> 10:57, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

:I'm somewhat active. Mostly computer history topics. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] ^{[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]} 15:36, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

== Clarification on Intel core revisions versus actual new architectures ==

The articles on Intel chips from about 2008 onward are a clusterf**k of misinformation. Microarchitectures are big families of similar designs. Netburst, for example, is a microarchitecture that includes the Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, and Cedar Mill cores. AMD's Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller, and Excavator chips are all the same microarchitecture. But the articles on Intel chips from ~2008 onward seem to be written by Intel fanboys who erroneously refer to every single tick and tock as a "new architecture" in an attempt to exaggerate the technological progress that Intel has been making. Can we please clean this crap up and clarify which chips are actually new clean-sheet designs and which are just enhancements of previous designs? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/73.70.13.107|73.70.13.107]] ([[User talk:73.70.13.107#top|talk]]) 07:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== [[:Template:Sidebar arithmetic logic circuits]] ==

Please help! Expert eyes are needed at [[Template talk:Sidebar arithmetic logic circuits]].

In a nutshell, there is disagreement about the template caption. Originally "Part of a series on the ALU", I renamed it "Part of a series on arithmetic logic circuits" per the proposal and reasons given at the top of the talk page. The proposal seemed uncontroversial at the time, and objections were not raised for more than a year. This seems like it should be a straightforward matter but the conversation has moved sideways and evolved into a giant wall of text. The discussion is in desperate need of input from independent experts to get things back on track and reach a satisfactory resolution.

== [[Lattice Semiconductor]] COI edit requests ==

Hi! I've posted a few COI edit requests at [[Talk:Lattice_Semiconductor#COI_edit_requests|Talk:Lattice Semiconductor]]. Sharing in case anyone here is interested in taking a look. Thank you for any help or feedback! [[User:MaryGaulke|Mary Gaulke]] ([[User talk:MaryGaulke|talk]]) 18:17, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

== Smart card vs. [[Draft:Complex Cards]] ==

Need your thoughts on whether a separate article should be created for Complex smart cards. Please discuss at [[Talk:Smart card]] [[User:AngusWOOF|<strong><span style="color: #606060;" class="nowrap">AngusW🐶🐶F</span></strong>]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF#top|<span style=" color: #663300;">bark</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/AngusWOOF|<span style="color: #006600;">sniff</span>]]) 14:02, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

== "Computer keyboard" article: intent to change to disambiguation ==

Members of this Wikiproject may wish to contribute to the discussion at [[Talk:Computer keyboard#Deletion plan]]. --[[User:John Maynard Friedman|John Maynard Friedman]] ([[User talk:John Maynard Friedman|talk]]) 22:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
