Prev Page AMD A8-3500M review: Specifications Next Page AMD A8-3500M review: PerformanceTechnology and cars. Increasingly the twain shall meet. Which is handy, because Jeremy (Twitter) is addicted to both.

That would be silly. And dangerous. But rather an explosive period of unprecedented innovation. Enjoy the ride.
