Starting with the Dell Precision T3400 they are doing some system upgrades with their professional users in mind. Other than their systems being certified by 27 different software vendors for 63+ applications and services, they are also upgrading the hardware.
They are starting with Core 2 Duo processors and the X38 Intel chipset which allows for [...]
Alright, so I doubt any of you have forgotten the HTC Shift right? Well if you have it’s the UMPC/PDA device that HTC is releasing that has a full keyboard and “Shifts” to show the keyboard and at the same time props the screen up at a viewable angle.
It also has 2 processors for two [...]
Toshiba is mighty proud of their new SpursEngine processing chip, and they should be, its pretty amazing technology. Its based on the same Cell technology at the processor inside your PS3.
They have two really cool products that they were demonstrating at CEATEC this year, one was some sort of real time facial editing, such as [...]
It was only a matter of time till the power saving, low heat, multiple core processors were going to find their way into the mobile market, and now with the Symbian and ARM partnership its happened. Well they haven’t hit the market yet, in fact that’s not expected to happen till 2010 (I bet it [...]
Consider yourself handy when it comes to overclocking and cooling? AMD just hooked you up then, I mean how often does a processor manufacturer release a 64 bit dual core processor that has unlocked multipliers?
On Tuesday Intel announced that it will soon be moving to a 32 nanometer process for its chips, that’s down from the fairly recent 45nm process. This won’t start having an effect until 2009 when they begin releasing the chips.
For now they are going to continue releasing new 45nm process chips, with an expected 20 [...]
So if you are curious, here is the difference between Intel and AMD’s quad-core offerings, I am not going into price or performance, but how they are made. AMD’s quad-core processor is a single chip with 4 cores on it. Intel uses a MCM or multi-chip module that more or less allows them to connect [...]
This moment was a long time coming. We’ve heard about the Barcelona line of processors from AMD for some time now, but the release date kept getting pushed further and further back due to unnamed “complications.” In a world where dual core has become the norm, AMD is pushing the envelope by providing us with [...]
So the processors using this new instruction set aren’t due to be released until 2009, but AMD wants to give people time to make compilers utilizing this instruction set and give programmers time to get used to/start implementing the changes.
So what changes for the programmers? First of all, instead of having to empty at least [...]
If you like overclocking, and you have some spare liquid nitrogen just sitting around, why not just overclock a Core 2 Extreme to 5GHz?
