I am a fan of product releases which bundle together multiple high-value advances. That approach reduces the frequency of releases (no bad thing) in exchange for more to offer per release, better proven through solid partner validation. The Dynamic Duo III release falls in this class, offering improvements in performance, capacity,… Read More The post Cadence Debuts Dynamic Duo III with a Basket of Goodies appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more
