AMD has just introduced its newest Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE (Highly Efficient) processors. The new CPUs operate with far less power requirement at 55-watts compared to its predecessors that use 75-watts and 105 watts.
This may already be a non-issue as their site is already down, however the company was apparently cranking out computers with 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 250GB HDDs, 2GB of RAM, a DVD burner, and Mac OS X Leopard. For some extra money you could have reportedly gotten FireWire and an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT [...]
The two new models are the X205-SLi5 and the X205-SLi6. They both come packing SLI graphics from NVIDIA, 45nm dual core processors from Intel, and HDMI outs for connecting the notebooks to your home theater system/HDTV.
The SLi5 is packing a Core 2 Duo T8300 processor running at 2.4GHz and two NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT’s with [...]
These notebooks have a broad processor range, but all of them are AMD processors, ranging from a Mobile Sempron 3600+ all the way up to an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58. They come in your choice of black or white, and have a UV coated case on them.
So Van Der Led is making these new notebooks, that look like Pimped Eee PCs, and calling them Jisus. No, I am not kidding, and as far as I know, this is not a joke, they are literally calling these notebooks Jisus.
What deserves such a long and confusing title? Why nothing more than a new ruggedized compact Linux PC. It’s targeted for automation, digital signage, or for in your car for navigation, media serving, web surfing, whatever.
Is it just me or is it a growing trend these days for more and more of the excitable and highly marketable to be using low end, often times single-core, processors of the past? Why did Intel and AMD even bother developing dual and quad core chips when we were going to wind up going [...]
In competition with the OLPC project, Intel is finally going to start selling their notebook for prices ranging from $300 to $500. Some of the newer models will have fewer features and thus require less power, but they are also pushing out models with both a 7 and a 9 inch screen, a 30GB HDD [...]
AMD’s new Phenom X4 9100e is a power sipper operating at a low 65 watts. That might sound like a lot, but for a quad-core processor that’s actually considerably low and is more on par with dual core processors of today.
You know how sometimes something gets hyped up so much, and then by the time it actually gets released/announced/goes on sale it kind of sucks? Well I still want one of these new HP UMPCs even though I now know the specs, starting with the VIA processors and graphics chipsets.
