Take Off Your Blinders! Why You Need A Multi-Repository Query Strategy

If you are trying to create a data infrastructure to support your business and think everything is going to be in a single repository, be it Hadoop or anything else, you are wearing blinders. As Michael Stonebraker recently expressed in “The Case for Polystores,” enterprises can’t assume that all their data will be neatly held in a single repository. Some of the great innovation we are seeing today is the variety of data repositories available to capture and store the incredible diversity and volume of data being created.

Why No One is Showing Up for Your Digital Transformation

Because everyone seems to be talking about digital, I previously outlined the three elements required for a true digital transformation: a new customer experience, a new business model, and a new value creation model. These three elements are the outputs of a successful transformation. However a digital transformation requires the right inputs as well: C-suite support, digital technology, and careful prioritization.

Xiaomi Gemini (Mi 5) appears on Geekbench, will use Snapdragon 820

Xiaomi has chosen not to respect the de facto standard one-year update cycle for its Mi 4 flagship, instead pumping out differently-specced versions of it. The Mi 4i and Mi 4c were thus born, but successful as they may be, a proper high-end heir is called for.

Apparently, what is going to be the Mi 5 lives an underground life as Xiaomi Gemini, as indicated by a Geekbench listing.

The benchmark entry shows that the smartphone is powered by a msm8996 chipset, which is the internal designation of the mighty Snapdragon 820.

Mighty it is within the Mi 5, scoring a whopping 2,140 in the single-core test, where Qualcomm’s unfortunate Snapdragon 810 scores around the 1,300 mark. Current Exynos heavyweights from the Samsung Galaxy line are good for about 1,500 points, but the top dog in single-core performance remains the Apple A9 chip with results in the 2,500 ballpark.

Multi-core numbers are perhaps not as impressive, as the Gemini is outclassed by the Galaxy S6 generation, which can all push upwards of 5,000.

Whatever the numbers, Xiaomi’s future flagship will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 inside, and with that chip only – no parallel models will be made. Earlier reports indicated that there might be tension between the two companies, but a Weibo post by analyst Kevin King, director of Chinese IHS Technology Research dismisses the issue.
