Android execs get technical talking updates, Project Treble, Linux, and more
Q&A: We talk details with Android execs Dave Burke and Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson.
Enlarge / Meet some of the people doing Android heavy lifting...
Google I/O doesn't need skydivers or LCD Soundsystem to keep us interested year-to-year—we'll happily settle for what's becoming an annual chat with members of the Android team. Heading into this year's conference, the group was fresh off the release of the second Android O Developer Preview and the announcement of Project Treble, a massive modularization of Android's hardware dependencies that should make updates a little easier on everyone involved with the OS. So as usual, there was plenty to talk about.
Dave Burke, VP of Engineering for Android, has made time for us at several recent conferences, but this year we also had Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson, PM Director for Android, in on the conversation. Given the opportunity, we tried to keep these questions pretty technical. What follows is a transcript with some of the interview lightly edited for clarity. For a fuller perspective, we've also included some topical background comments in italics.
Project Treble
The second Android O developer preview was a big departure from past developer preview releases. Other than a bunch of new emoji, there weren't any new major features or additions. Compare this to the Android N Developer Preview, which added features like Vulkan, a new VR platform, and a new update installation process in the second and third preview releases. What's the deal?

Computex: Windows 10 S notebooks from Asus, Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, and HP on display
Some of the first laptops expected to ship with Microsoft’s stripped-down version of Windows are on display at the Computex show in Taiwan this week. Tech blogger Roland Quandt spotted at least 5 different notebooks running Windows 10 S. For the most part, these look like budget laptops, which makes sense, since developed Windows 10 […]

Asus Chromebook Flip C101 is an updated 10 inch convertible
The original Asus Chromebook Flip C100 was an unexpected delight when it launched: a relatively inexpensive 10 inch convertible notebook with Google’s Chrome OS and beta support for Android apps, allowing you to use the device as either a Chromebook or a pseudo Android tablet. Weighing just under 2 pounds, it also didn’t feel crazy […]

With 18 CPU cores, Intel’s upcoming Core i9 Extreme Edition processor may be ahead of AMD’s new 16-core Ryzen Threadripper CPU in terms of the core count. But it turns out AMD’s high-end chip will one-up Intel’s in another way. The Core i9 Extreme Edition has 44 PCIe 3.0 lanes. The Ryzen Threadripper chip has 64. We’ll probably […]

AMD Ryzen Mobile chips for laptops coming this year
AMD’s Ryzen chips for desktop computers are already shipping, and at least one PC maker has decided to stuff a high-power Ryzen 7 chip into a gaming laptop. But later this year we’ll see the first Ryzen Mobile chips designed for notebooks and 2-in-1 laptops. Unlike the desktop Ryzen processors, these new mobile chips will be […]

Als kleine, günstige Alternative zum Raspberry Pi konzipiert, wecken die Nano Pis immer wieder die Aufmerksamkeit von Bastlern. Der Hersteller hat mittlerweile eine ganze Reihe der Rechner vorgestellt. Wir haben zwei Modelle getestet und sind zu zwei höchst unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen gekommen.
