Intel finally announced the official name for their new line of processors code-named Silverthorne. The new name? Atom Apparently, Intel’s new MID processor is extending the Centrino family although the architecture is quite a bit different. The Atom is earmarked for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and low cost PCs like the eeePC with its emphasis [...]
Intel will be labeling its new Montevina platform as Centrino 2. The chip is due in Q2 (probably in May) and will be running on 1066MHz FSB with clock starting from 2.26Ghz up to 3.06Ghz. The Centrino 2 chips will be priced at $209-851.
Montevina to be paired with the Cantiga chipset and refreshed Wi-Fi 802.11 [...]
Maingear is a new company to me, but apparently they make boutique, one off custom gaming PC’s. Word on the streets is they are pretty good at it too since NVIDIA entrusted them to make the computers that they sent around to the press to show off their new 3-way SLI system.
All good things has to come to an end eventually, and Merom based Core 2 Duo is no exception. Intel has announced discontinuation of seven Meron based Core 2 Duo processors. As the new kid (Penryn CPU) is starting to establish itself – Meron based T5500, T5600, T7200, T7600, and LV L7200 will get to [...]
Judging from this prototype image they are in fact working on just that, a dual GPU graphics card based on the GeForce 9800. The reason it looks like they took apart a pair of 9800’s and inverted one of them on top of the other and combined the interfaces is because that’s more or less [...]
VIA is releasing its new x86 processor called Isaiah. The chip is deemed to perform twice as fast as VIA’s current processor while maintaining the same amount of power consumption.
So, we know from the keynote that the MacBook Air has a Core 2 Duo that is 60% smaller than the normal Core 2 Duo chip, and we know that this came out of a partnership with Apple. What we don’t know too much about is anything else including the how or why.
Toshiba have taken the Cell CPU usually found in a Sony PS3 and put it into a concept Qosmio G45 laptop, giving the machine a total of six processors (the original Core 2 Duo is still there, plus the four 1.5GHz synergistic processing elements in the Cell) and the ability to perform high-complexity visual tasks in [...]
Not wanting to get left behind by Acer and Fujitsu-Siemens, Sony is preparing to launch its Penryn based laptops. The VAIO AR7, FZ4, and SZ7 will feature Intel’s new Core 2 Duo mobile that uses 45nm-manufacturing process. The Santa Rosa Refresh platform combined with Penryn based CPU will give laptop users longer battery life. Now [...]
This is about as cutting edge as I’ve seen a motherboard in a long time, lets start with the fact that it supports the Intel Yorkfield CPUs. From there we’ll move on to the 3-way SLI capability (can’t you see the 3 PCIe x16 slots?) and the 1333MHz FSB speed.
