DRAM Emulator pushing Gbps

The idea was to get a single chip with 1Terabyte data transfer on and off the chip creative massive bandwidths. This was achieved by using optical interconnects. A single differential pin pair which carry 16Gbps and produces a 512b wide interface on the chip. Each one works at 32x signaling rate with their Flexlink C/A technology providing a routing solution.

The picture above does just that but will only run at one channel. There is little reasoning why you cannot creative the system using more channels thus creating massive bandwidths. The hard part is done, 32 channels woudln’t go a miss.

There are talks about a dual core atom processor called ‘intels nettop-orientated atom 330′ ready for release next year.  Soon as any updates emerge I will send out the specifications to you all.

MSI’s current laptop uses a 3 cell battery pack much smaller than the new implementation. I expect that MSI will continue to ship 3 cell battery packs to the consumer. Consumers will then be able to buy the nine cell battery packs separately allowing users to use their laptops during long journeys.

This is not however advanced technology far from it, the battery cell is basically 9 cells crammed together making your laptop bulkier and heavier than it was before. Its entirely up to you, the weight vs the added power? Who cares about looks when you have three times the power! I’m sure some users would disagree, notebook air? Nah!

Will there ever been a new technology that will reduce the size of the cell? Can we increase power and decrease size? Will solar panels on calculators be used for laptops to create a greener laptop? Well only time can tell.

Keep checking this space for updates!

According to sources Asus has warned that the partition of the EEE Box hard disk contains a hidden file named recyclyed.exe. When the drive is addressed the virus activates itself and then delivers the payload infecting any other added storage.

The problem does not exist within other regions as yet but make sure these version are not bought on on-line auction websites, you may end up with a cheap but contaminated system!

I am however unable to tell the public what the virus actually does and how powerful this threat actually is but then again, a threat is a threat in my opnion.

Memory modules cannot exceed 1.65 volts, a Japanese forum has photographs  of asus’s x58 motherboard that has a warning label instructing builders not to exceed this memory voltage. Asus has stated that they are currently running their memory at 1.7 volts which is considered the highest voltage to date.

Currently no news is available to why Intel have done this, is this another flaw in Intels design and how manufacturers are forced to design round their specifications, unfortunately. Intel have either done this to help accelerate computation or is this considered a design fault where enthusiast cannot overclock their memory to achieve better gaming capabilities.

AMD’s side looks bland. They are releasing a new set of triple core processors for the consumer. The reason behind this move is to hopefully take stronghold on the main stream market and offer well priced and well performed products. Since i’m an enthusiast I like to look within the top end specifications and price ranges. This is where AMD are let down.  Lets remind our self’s that Intel are running processors on 45nm fabs and AMD on 65nm. Intel are now creating virtually a new articecture for the new genertion of processors. I have still not heard the Core i7 8 core processors but they should be round the corner.

I did predict this would happen over time, enthusiasts across the globe were demonstrating fridge elements that were used as water cooling devices to help condense the water particles. This is a similar device but more effective in its design.

The down side is that the case will only be compatible with a handful of motherboards including asus, gigabyte and MSI. You should also expect to pay a high premium as a result.

With this said and the corei7 set to range between $400 to $999 the current quad core processors must drop considerably otherwise the consumer will think the two products are virtually in the same performance boundaries, which cannot be Intel’s interpretation.

With this said, are we looking at a socket 775 Intel processor this Christmas or will it be the latest architecture from Intel. With only four core version available this year I may wait to next year to see if a 8 core variant will be released! I must also add that current applications still do not take advantage of the quad core system. Current dual core processors are still performing well with quad core equivalents.

What do you do? this is deffinetely a tough one!

The following specifications are the first three chips based on the bloomfield core which is the main stream version of the core i7 processor.

Intel Core i7 920 (mainstream) 2.66ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process
Intel Core i7 940 (mainstream) 2.93ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process
Intel Core i7 965 (extreme) 3.20ghz, 4 cores, 8 threads, 45nm process

All processors come with 256kb of cache per core and 8mb of l3 cache shared. The starting price is $284, $562 and $999.

The leaked information states that the 965 is an extreme version I beg to differ just because there are no 8 core processors available even though Intel stated that the Nehalem was based on this fact.
