Intel, world leader in CPU research and development

Written by IT News on 7:15 AM

Thinking ahead, it seems that Intel has done lately, with no fewer than three new computers at the same time, developed by Santa Clara-based company. These three projects Pine trail Pineview, Georgia and CPU platform (due 2010), Cedar View chip (2011) and also a 22nm process-based chip planned for 2013.

Cedar View, an Intel Atom processor based on 32nm process technology. The processor is expected to peak performance of their predecessors and will, hopefully, a reasonable energy bragging too. There are some features that are reportedly to be integrated into the core of the chip.

Such a function is a fully integrated graphics chip will support DirectX 10.1 and smooth playback of High Definition (HD) media files. This means that gamers probably will still opt to buy a graphics card, multimedia enthusiasts will have no reason to invest in a separate video card.

Another feature of the Cedar View implicit support for the Intel Atom is a dual digital display. Although not strictly true multi-display enthusiasts to meet, it is probably enough for office workers or business people interested in running multiple tasks on the same system.

Combined with the rumor that the device will DDR3 RAM memory controller (on a par with the Core i7 processors Bloomfield) chip will provide consumers with all the resources required for each application. Such double-DIMM support would almost certainly be dominated by the desktop version, but according to Fudzilla, the possibility of netbooks to this feature is also quite high.

Cedar View will be preceded by Pineview, Georgia and the CPU platform Pine Trail, which is defined, which is already in January 2010. This product will probably be Intel's flagship for 2010 and part of 2011, the Cedar View kicks in. For now, consumers can be confident that AMD still plans to translate innovation as it has always done.

Written by IT News on 8:08 PM

Intel, the world's leading supplier of computer processors, is reportedly planning a new two-core processor designed for servers and is based on "Clarksdale" core. According to the information available for the new processor will be assessed at only 30W, since it is designed to power a new segment of the computer system, the "micro servers", which first talked about the company at its Developer Forum, held former husband

Said 30W processor is trumpeted by the chip maker at IDF 2009 was held between September 22 and September 24 at Moscone Center West in San Francisco, will use Intel's Nehalem microarchitecture will be equipped with a core speed of 2.26GHz. With these specifications, focused Chip Zilla on chip to be used in a new series of low power micro-servers, which would be an alternative for customers looking for an inexpensive solution to a good performance ratio in some applications.

"We are defining a new form factor allows companies to present a uni-processor [machine] may reasonably ... and cost-effective and easy to implement," Jason Waxman, Intel's high-density computing boss said in a recent news article in the Register.

Intel's reference design of the system contains a bound PCB size, full of 1.86GHz quad-core Lynnfield "processor, rated at 45W and linked to four DIMM memory. Although this system a chip already on the market used to it their customers to choose a processor that will be a total power of 25W and 75W max out at idle when the performance increases.

Intel claims that for some customers, this type of solution is a bit comfortable and safe, as it replaces the need for virtualization and provides the right root access only to the consumer.

Intel belives PCs will become more personalized

Written by IT News on 9:24 PM

Intel, the world's leading provider of IT-processors, believe that the PC market is probably a significant growth in coming years, like the growth recorded in the phone on the market following the introduction of mobile phones, a company executive says look.

According to Mooly Eden, Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group, quoted in a recent news article in PC World, the PC's more and more customized services, like mobile phones, which is why he believes that the PC market is likely to grow at the same as phone market has grown. "It would be a netbook or a laptop or a Mobile Internet Device (MID)," said Eden.

He explains that since the sale of computers is a "consumer game" be noted that vendors now need to focus on both elegance and sleekness of the unit and on his performance and other specifications. He talks about the "desirability" of computers, said that in markets where affordability is an issue computers to content, user interfaces and applications that the end user can relate to.

As the article suggests, this view is not as realistic for the emerging markets as for adults Ones. Examples of markets such as India, the price for the ideal system is about 10,000 rupees (U.S. $ 200). This is a segment where netbooks are best suited, given their low prices, but most such systems currently on the market with the € 200 price tag. Eden, however, pointing out that prices of netbooks is likely to decrease because of economies of scale, but he makes no prediction about when he expects prices to come down.

Most of today's netbooks, as Eden observes, are sold in mature markets, but the original chip manufacturer's Atom processor designed for the new technology.

Intel plans to deliver SSD firmware fix by the end of the week

Written by IT News on 9:55 PM

Intel announced at the end of last month that it is a firmware problem with its new 34nm Solid State Drives, which could affect user data under certain circumstances. The company has promised to find a solution and that it would suspend deliveries of the new 34nm SSDs until the firmware would be established and users can fill benefit from the performance specifications of the new stations. In this respect, the chip maker has recently announced that the firmware update as a user with a solution to the reported problems, is well underway and the end of this week.

"We have already found a solution. We are in the process of validation now, and it would be ready to distribute at the end of the week", an Intel spokesman said.

The world's largest chip maker seems to remain committed to their customers with support for the newly discovered error. Users, according to Intel's statement should soon reap the full benefits of their latest SSDs using the new 34nm manufacturing process. It is still uncertain whether the firmware fix will enable them to regain access to the data affected by SSDs "BIOS problem.

As a quick reminder, Intel announced last week that he is a bug with the new 34nm SSDs, which may affect people who had a password in SSD BIOS. According to the company after setting up BIOS password and the computer is turned off, the disk stops working and user data are not available.

Intel Atom Z-series processors are here to stay

Written by IT News on 8:57 AM

At the end of last week there was a rumor that claimed Intel, the world's largest supplier of microprocessors, informed its customers of its decision to stop accepting orders for its line of low-power modes Z Atom processors. The rumor went on to note that several netbook vendors have already said its order chips, but the orders would not be accepted. In this respect, it seems that the rumor has recently reached the ears of Santa Clara, California-based chip maker, which immediately rejected the allegations.

Speculation originally began as a result of a news article on Taiwan Digi Times quoting sources claiming Chip Zilla told its OEM customers that it would stop accepting orders for the Z-series Atom processors. These components are used in a few ultra-portable netbook such as the Sony Vaio P, which meant that these systems can quickly become a hard refresh rate or phasing out of the market.

Picking up the story, the fellows over at the Register Hardware has been in contact with Santa Clara, California-based chip maker, which reportedly denied rumors above. An Intel spokesman told Register Hardware that "Rumors of industry sources indicated that Intel is no longer taking orders for Atom-Z processors or end of production at the end of the year is 100% correct." The chip maker does not comment on the claim that interrupted Atom Z-series will contribute to a clearer boundary between netbooks and mobile Internet devices.

This is the second time in recent days as a reputation for the company's product roadmap has been rejected by the leading chip maker. Earlier this month there were rumors (which Intel also denied) that the next generation Pine Trail platform would be postponed to early 2010. We will try to provide you posted when more information shows up.

Dell Adamo gets a much welcomed price cut

Written by IT News on 1:13 AM

At the beginning of the year, Round Rock, Texas-based Dell, the world's leading suppliers of portable computer systems, announced the release of the much anticipated Adamo laptop, an ultra-portable computer that is intended to compete with the Apple MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy HP. With a very slim and elegant design, the new laptop will be made in two different configurations; both are based on Intel's low-power processor platform. One of the biggest drawbacks of this system, despite its attractive design, was that it was priced fairly restrictive price points. But it seems that Dell learned from their mistakes and has recently lowered prices on two models.

The much-hyped Adamo Dell laptop is now available for only U.S. $1499 for 1.2GHz-powered model. This is a good $500 discount on the company's launch price of U.S. $1999 for the same model. The higher end model, which has a SSD storage solution and 1.4GHz processor, is now as low as U.S. $ 2299, a reduction from the original price of U.S. $2700. The company seems to continue like Intel, and has not changed anything on the system configuration.

Although these prices are more than welcome, there are still so the purchasing power of most portable consumer. The new pricing system better position Dell's stylish notebook Adamo to Apple's MacBook Air basic model, i.e. the price of USD in 1499 and has a 1.86GHz processor, 2GB memory and 120GB hard disk space. But the highest performance of the MacBook Air will cost U.S. $1799 and provides a faster 2.13GHz processor, 2GB memory and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics solution.

It will be interesting to see if Adamo will continue to further price declines, which may be a better competitor to the aforementioned MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy.
