I thought this was kind of cool. Intel announced a new cell phone at thier Intel Developers Conference. It is what I have heard as the future of the iPhone. It has a pretty big touchscreen, but it is very narrow and long. Very unique design, and I bet it's pretty good for using it to make calls, as the shape is that of a home phone. Looks like a cool interface. The virtual keyboard is cool, it is split so that half is on one side of the device, and half is on the other, and what you're typing is in the middle. From what I read it has the normal features a high-end phone would. Internet browser, MP3 player, GPS, etc. The one problem I have with this device is the name. As of now, they are calling it the "Moorestown"... What kind of a name is that?Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Intel demonstrates a 32nm chip and Next-Generation Nehalem Microprocessor Architecture. ATM I use a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and I really like it! Fast & Cool - that was what I missed for such a long time. So I only look forward to the next generation of CPU´s. (Image from Intel)

Similar to the Dialogue Flybook VM, this mobile concept PC by Intel features a 12-inch screen that can be positioned like a desktop LCD and moved backwards/forwards. Other specifications have not yet been released, but it should come with an Intel Core Duo processor. We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available. Additional images after the jump.

Intel ofrece ahora más de 20 procesadores con cuatro núcleos para servidores y equipos de sobremesa, abarcando una gama de productos desde 50 vatios a 3 GHz.Intel Corporation ha dado a conocer los primeros procesadores con cuatro núcleos diseñados específicamente para servidores con múltiples procesadores (MP) especializados en aplicaciones que precisan máximo rendimiento, fiabilidad y ampliación.Estas aplicaciones funcionan normalmente en entornos virtualizados, y son utilizadas para consolidación de servidores y bases de datos, planificación de recursos empresariales (ERP), y en inteligencia empresarial (BI).Los seis nuevos procesadores Xeon 7300 con cuatro núcleos pueden ofrecer más del doble de rendimiento y más del triple de rendimiento por vatio que la generación anterior de productos con doble núcleo de la compañía. Asimismo, estos procesadores completan la iniciativa de la compañía para lograr la transición - un proceso de cambio que se ha realizado en menos

Despite being more on the expensive side, the new Sony Vaio SZ is definitely worth the extra cost. The Sony Vaio SZ comes with a 13.3 inch screen, which holds great contrast and brightness and has a native resolution of 1280X1200. Sticking with it’s output, sitting above the keyboard (with large easy to press keys, rare for a laptop of this weight) are a pair of high quality speakers ready to play your favourite songs and videos. It packs a 1.8GHz Intel Core Duo T2400 processor, 2GB of RAM, a Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics card with 128MB of video memory, and a big 100GB hard drive. Other useful features are the built in 1.3 megapixel webcam, a built in microphone, FireWire and two USB 2.0 ports and a VGA output port. Despite a price tag of approximately $2,500 this model is definitely worth the money for people who need speed and efficiency in their everyday tasks, such as move watching, video conferencing and word processing. What do you make of the laptop? Is it worth the he

La compañía estadounidense Intel, el mayor fabricante de chips del mundo, ha presentado su nueva tecnología de chips vPro, orientada a hacer más seguros los ordenadores personales de empresas, mientras busca consolidar su marca.vPro reúne un procesador Core 2 Duo, un juego de chips y otros elementos que junots integran lo que la compañía denomina una plataforma. La primera tecnología de plataforma de Intel fue Centrino, dada a conocer en 2003.Desde entonces, y bajo la presidencia de Paul Otellini, la compañía ha pasado de vender y fabricar discretos procesadores y juegos de chips a venderlos juntos como tecnologías integradas, o plataformas, en un intento por vender una mayor cantidad total de chips.Entre los avances de la plataforma vPro se incluye uno que permite que los encargados de tecnología de información enciendan y apaguen un ordenador personal conectado a la red de una compañía, incluso aunque el disco duro o el sistema operativo fallan.vPro también podría ay

Intel’s release of a 1333mhz FSB Core 2 Duo will mean that anyone who wants to realize the full potential of these processors, will have to buy a Motherboard with a P35 chipset, costing at least $100 from newegg. Unless you go for the low end of the market and buy a $50 motherboard that just fits the requirements, its going to be at least a $280 upgrade if you get the cheapest E6550. Or is this just the first step towards the migration into the higher FSB range of processors. Seeing as the only Intel processor with 1333mhz FSB has the QX6850 processor, which didn’t allow for the lower markets, the cost was $1200. Will we see whether the release these 1333mhz FSB processors will lead the way to higher FSB speeds for processors to come with the new penryn processors? What do You think about the new range of 1333mhz FSB processors? Will they catch on? Source Written by Joe for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computer Hardware, Computers

The 3.0ghz quad core processor, 1333mhz FSB, 8mb cache. Is that worth $1200? Then there is the extra cost, you have to have a motherboard designed to support this chip, you have to have either an Intel G33, P35, or X38 chipset motherboard, or a BIOS-updated nforce 600-series board from nvidia. Any of these will cost at least $100 from newegg. And with Intel’s penryn processor being released next year, will this processor actually sell? Well if it hasn’t sold it has certainly cornered the quad core market, and made itself the worlds greatest processor. Do you think that the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor is worth it?

Intel has officially released a new Xeon server processor to combat AMD’s Barcelona Opteron processor range, due to be released next month. Intel has also release a low voltage version of the chip which is clocked at 2.0ghz, consuming only 50 watts compared to the 3.0ghz version that eats 120 watts. And as the release of Intel’s Penryn processor is less than a year away, the company has announced the phasing out of all pentium processors. This will mean that no more single core processors will be in production from intel, meaning that in three years time, a celerons and pentuims will be rare. Then which will win out, the future Penryn processor, or the AMD’s Phenom and Barcelona Operton? What do you think? Source Written by Joe for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computer Hardware, Computers

Intel ha publicado en su página web que tiene todo listo para lanzar los procesadores Xeon de núcleo cuádruple y 45 nanometros en noviembre.Aunque el sitio no explicita que se trate de la familia Penryn, habla del lanzamiento de procesadores que contienen 12MB de caché L2, un elemento fundamental en la arquitectura de núcleo cuádruple de Penryn.En la lista aparecen siete CPUs Xeon: el E5405 a 2,00GHz, el E5410 de 2,33GHz, el E5420 de 2,50GHz, el E5430 de 2,66GHz, el E5440 de 2,83GHz, el E5450 de 3,00GHz y el X5460 de 3,16GHz. Los siete operan sobre un bus frontal de 1333MHz. La letra E significa un TDP (Termal Design Point) de 80 vatios y la X, de 120 vatios. Los precios de los Xeon basados en Penryn comienzan en 209 dólares para los chips de gama baja E5405 y alcanzan los 1.172 dólares (el X5460, de gama alta). Aunque Intel desvela las fechas para los procesadores Penryn-Xeon, la compañía no dice nada de cuándo tendrá listos sus hermanos para los segmentos de sobremesa y m

I have a couple of G4 Mac's in the house. I have never had one of them freeze. That is, I have had a program freeze on me, but I was able to force quit the application (even the finder) and restart my machine. With My Intel iMac (24 inch 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo), I have had a dozen complete system freezes over the last 8 months.Fifty percent of the time, it did damage to my hard drive directory. Twice, after restart, it caused a sibling link error. Diskwarrior was able to repair it once, the second time, I had to do an archive and install.I went so far as to erase and zero out the drive (assuming that it may remove a potential bad sector) and reinstall all of the software. I still managed to get a system wide freeze the other day. I had to hold the power button until the machine shutdown, and then I restarted. I ran fsck to check the disk, and surprisingly, I had no damage this time.I have checked the RAM, I doubt it's the processor. It isn't the hard drive either. I checked the firew

Intel quiere adelantarse a Barcelona introduciendo antes de tiempo dos nuevos procesadores de núcleo cuádruple, los Xeon X5365 y L5335.El Xeon X5365 es un chip de 3GHz que funciona con una potencia de 120 vatios y alcanza una velocidad en el bus frontal de 1333MHz.

Intel really are the ‘daddy’ of the chip world and when they announce something like this, expect it to be big. “Penryn” is the successor to the Merom core, used in all the Core 2 Duo chips that has revolutionised our notebook world. “Penryn” will apparently be based on 45nm fabrication process entirely, a real change to the previous Merom core. These “Penryn” based Core 2 Duo processors will shed a new light on the spanking “Santa Rosa” platforms expected in Q1 2008. What do you think of Intel and their recent progression in the chip world? Are you an Intel fan? Or do you stand by your AMD based machine? Written by Ryan for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computer Hardware

You may have read a recent post informing you of Intel’s new racist sprinter advert which was made by someone who was quite simply, stupid or really, really stupid. Who in their right mind would make an ad with six black sprinter men bowing down to a white geek in tight pants? The advertising department need to get their act together, that’s for sure. Thanks to all the negative publicity the sprinter ad has been creating for Intel, they have finally issued a statement of apology: Intel’s intent of our ad titled “Multiply Computing Performance and Maximize the Power of Your Employees” was to convey the performance capabilities of our processors through the visual metaphor of a sprinter. We have used the visual of sprinters in the past successfully. Unfortunately, our execution did not deliver our intended message and in fact proved to be insensitive and insulting. Upon recognizing this, we attempted to pull the ad from all publications but, unfortunately,

Seriously Intel, do you guys really like getting complaints and negative light in the media? It’s as if you’re loving all this bad publicity. Their latest attempt to shine like a rock is with their new advert, which in my opinion, screams the slave trade. Don’t get me wrong, I hope I’m sure they didn’t mean to make it look so blatent or bad, but with six athletic black males kneeling down before a white geek in tight pants, what are we meant to think? On a positive note, it does make me want to get Intel’s Core 2 Duo, which is what it’s there for. Spring up the comments guys- what do you think? Subliminal racism or just silly mistakes? Let us know how you feel. Written by Ryan for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computers

Investigadores de Intel han conseguido desarrollar un chip que puede transmitir datos a altas velocidades usando luz en lugar de electricidad, aunque los productos basados en esta tecnología tardarán un tiempo en estar disponibles.Un equipo de los investigadores de Intel ha presentado un modulador de láser hecho de silicio que es capaz de codificar datos a velocidades de hasta 40Gbps, un aumento significativo en lo que a velocidad se refiere.El nuevo modulador, que convierte datos eléctricos en luz, abre la puerta a las conexiones ópticas de alta velocidad para interconectar ordenadores. Así, si se combinan 25 modulares láser híbridos de silicio en un solo chip, podría ser capaz de transmitir hasta Terabits de datos por segundo, según Ansheng Liu, ingeniero en el grupo corporativo de tecnología de Intel.La conexiones ópticas son deseables porque la fibra óptica ofrece más ancho de banda y es capaz de trasportar los datos más allá de lo que lo hace el cobre, que se utili

La Comisión Europea ha acusado formalmente a Intel por utilizar prácticas ilegales contra su rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).Esta institución, que es el principal órgano regulador de la Unión Europea, lleva años investigando las tácticas empleadas por Intel para mantenerse por delante de AMD.Ahora ha llegado a la conclusión de que la compañía ha utilizado métodos que van en contra de la libre competencia para perpetuar su dominio en el mercado de los ordenadores domésticos y servidores.Aunque la culpabilidad aún tiene que demostrarse, la Comisión Europea ve suficientes indicios como para presentar cargos. La investigación se inició hace seis años, cuando AMD denunció un posible abuso de posición dominante por parte de Intel.La compañía podría haberse hecho con el control del 80% del mercado de microchips utilizando tácticas poco éticas.Según AMD, Intel habría negociado con los distribuidores para que exigieran a sus proveedores ordenadores Intel.Bruselas ti

Are these incredibly fast chips out of our reach? Or have Intel actually made a huge breakthrough and created these unbeleivably high-speed chips? Instead of using electrons, the new, almost-made chips are to use light, which is much faster and efficient as optical interconnects also eliminate the heat created by resistance, which saves energy in the apsect of heat. This may be fine and dandy, but I am beginning to worry about the pricing which I predict will be outrageous. Intel’s silicon-photonics technology will take a while to become commercial apparently, with another seven years to wait. I’m thinking in seven years time, they would have made 80GBps chips let alone 40GBps. What do you think the future holds in terms of chips? Will Intel manage to make them in time before the likes of AMD and Hynix getting in the way? Source Written by Ryan for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computers, Computer Hardware
