Allegedly, Intel have been using illegal tactics against smaller rival AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) a European Commision spokesman said. The Commission, the European Union’s top antitrust regulator, has spent many years investigating Intel’s tactics to come to that decision that they acted unfairly to preserve their dominance over AMD. “I can confirm the statement of objections has been sent,” said Ton Van Lierop, a spokesman for the European Commission. Intel have yet to make an immediate comment. AMD has claimed that Intel maintained its share of the $33 billion market for microprocessors by “engaging in a relentless, worldwide campaign to coerce customers to refrain from dealing with AMD”. Intel was accused by AMD of “offering illegal marketing rebates, selectively disclosing technical information and threatening circuit board makers that used rival products”. Both companies lead the market for creating CPU chips, sharing between them

Hynix, a South Korean company noone knows we’ve all obviously heard of have announced plans to become the world’s leading chip producer in a period of ten years. Currently on target to actually reaching their goal, they claim that last year’s $7.7 billion will become $18 billion by 2010 and $25 billion by 2012. Their big-headed announcement comes as their company rakes in the profits from their success last year, which was acheived by their method of eagerly developing new technologies and trying out new methods. From these new methods comes new products, such as PRAM (Phase-change Random Access Memory). Reliable analysts say PRAM will become the industry’s main memory source, even replacing flash storage over the next decade. All this seems a little to early to predict accurately in my opinion, but who knows what the future holds. What do we think of Hynix?

Many people will be glad to know that Intel has recently announced some huge price cuts to its impressive selection of quad- core CPUs. For example, the 2.4GHz Q6600 has been slashed to $300 (£150), almost half the price it was. Of course, those that have recently purchased them will feel slightly hard done by, but nowhere near as hard done by as the people behind AMD. With not a single quad-core part on the market compared to Intel’s impressive twenty, how will AMD react to the price cuts?

Hace más o menos una semana publique mi primera encuestadonde preguntaba cual de estos dos monstruos de losprocesadores era mejor, ya que es una pregunta que causa muchapolémica entre los informáticos.Pues bien, podría decir que antes no confiaba en los procesadoresAMD porque se sobrecalentaban demasiado y por esa razón mesentía seguro en Intel. Los AMD nunca han dejado de serrápidos pero calentaban demasiado; ahora la torta se viro yalgunos modelos de Intel calientan más y consumen más energíaque los de AMD.En lo personal puedo trabajar bien con cualquiera de los dosporque me funcionarían bien, siempre he dicho que tododepende de para que se van a usar y donde.¿Ok pero, cual es mejor?Es difícil saberlo por esta razón les dejo una guía que hacetiempo leí que encontré muy útil.Intel o AMDEspero que después de leer esta guía puedas sacar tus propiasconclusiones basadas en datos técnicos y no por pura publicidad.¿Que me dices, cual es mejor?Blogalaxia Tags: Intel AMD

Há rumores de que a Intel esteja planejando o lançamento do seu novo processador Penryn para portáteis. O Penryn será fabricado com tecnologia de 45 nanometros e especula-se que estará disponível no ano que vem. Segundo a Intel, já está fabricando os processadores, que serão os “herdeiros” da estrutura Santa Rosa. Os processadores da linha Penryn terão frequência de 2.1Ghz, 2.4 Ghz, 2.5Ghz e 2.6Ghz e cache L2 de 6MB!

Un reciente estudio de Neal Nelson and Associates indica que los procesadores Opteron de AMD consumen un 15,2% menos de energía que los Xeon equivalentes de Intel.Las diferencias fueron significativas, y como indica el estudio publicado en InfoWorld, "el servidor basado en AMD utilizó entre un7,3 y un 15,2% menos de energía durante cinco niveles de carga de tareas distintos, y un 44,1% menos cuando los servidores se mantuvieron inactivos y a la espera de tareas".Para las pruebas se utilizaron benchmarks cliente-servidor en las que varias transacciones web se procesaron en los servidores, con SUSE Linux, Apache 2 y MySQL instalados.Los procesadores estudiados fueron un Intel Xeon 5160 (núcleo Woodcrest) a 3 GHz y un AMD Opteron 8222 también a 3 GHz, con unas características equiparables.Una pequeña victoria para AMD. Veremos como contraataca Intel, que seguro que no se queda quieta.Por Javier Pastor Información extraída de: The Inquirer ES

Recentemente a Intel anunciou o processador Core 2 Extreme QX6850 quad core de 3.0Ghz para Socket T (LGA775). O Core 2 Extreme X7800 roda a 2.6 GHz a 800MHz com 4MB de cache L2. O novo processador oferece 28% mais velocidade que o que Core Duo T2600. O novo X7800 tem tecnologia de redução de energia, melhoramento de reprodução de vídeo e

Hearing that Intel now has a relatively fond view of Linux is far from surprising, especially considering that the chipmaker already has quite a few open-source projects out in the open. To help consolidate its efforts and spearhead future developments, Intel has apparently launched the Mobile & Internet Linux Project website, which showcases a number of ideas to improve "power management, user interfaces, use of wireless networks, web browsing, chatting, and software development for mobile devices."MORE...

As Nicholas Negroponte stormed the developing world trying to drum up buyers for the innovative $175 computers designed by his One Laptop Per Child education nonprofit, he encountered a persistent obstacle: competition from Intel Corp.Intel's chairman, Craig Barrett, had derided Negroponte's machines as mere gadgets. And Intel was signing up international governments for its own little ''Classmate'' PCs, which follow more conventional computing designs than One Laptop Per Child's radically rethought ''XO'' computers.Negroponte was suspicious of Intel's motives, since the XO runs on processors from Intel's fiercest rival, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Negroponte said Intel had hurt his mission and ''should be ashamed of itself.''But in recent weeks, Negroponte and Intel CEO Paul Otellini began peace talks, culminating in a face-to-face meeting Thursday at Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. And on Friday, the two sides said they had joined forces: Intel will join On

Intel's latest roadmap adds two more processors to the mix Intel?s latest roadmap adds two more processors to the upcoming lineup. The roadmap reveals early plans for the Yorkfield-based Core 2 Extreme and another Core 2 Duo E4000-sequence processor. With Yorkfield, Intel differentiates the Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Duo models by the front-side bus speed.Intel Core 2 Extreme Yorkfield processors will have a 1333 MHz front-side bus, continuing on where the Kentsfield Core 2 Extreme QX6850 leaves off. The quad-core processor supports Intel VT, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep and Intel 64 and Execute Disable Bit technologies. Intel leaves TXT technology out of the 45nm Core 2 Extreme however.Intel?s Core 2 Duo E4000-sequence receives a speed bump in Q4?2007. The new Core 2 Duo E4600 clocks in at 2.4 GHz and remains on an 800 MHz front-side bus. Aside from the speed bump, the Core 2 Duo E4600 is no different from other Core 2 Duo E4000-sequence models.Intel plans to debut the Core 2 D

AMD and Intel believe the industry's next revolution is in hand held devices Early last year, Microsoft revealed its ultra mobile computing platform. Smaller than a laptop but larger than a PDA, Microsoft's Origami project set the playing field for others to follow. At the time, Origami was positioned as an Internet browsing device with rudimentary multimedia capabilities. Unfortunately, the Origami project never materialized in any sort of substantial offering, but then again Microsoft has a bit of a hit-or-miss history when it comes to developing hardware. That never deterred Intel or AMD, two companies with long histories rooted in hardware development, from stepping in where Microsoft left off. Lest there be any doubt, neither company is just picking up Microsoft's pieces; they're going into the ultra-mobile playing field at full throttle. Almost simultaneously both AMD and Intel roadmaps indicated the industry would head towards devices that allow consumers to br

Intel Xeon 5100 and 5300 receive minor enhancements Intel has issued a new product change notification (PDF), or PCN, to partners in regards to dual and quad-core Xeon stepping changes. The stepping change brings the dual and quad-core Intel Xeon 5100 Woodcrest and 5300 Clovertown processors to stepping G0. G0 introduces energy efficiency and virtualization enhancements.Stepping G0 reduces power consumption during C1E halt states. Intel does not state how much less power stepping G0 processors consume in idle states except ?some amount.? Intel improves VT technology in stepping G0.The enhancements include:APIC Task Priority Register (TPR) Virtualization NMI-window exitingAdvanced VM-exit information for INS & OUTSAll stepping G0 processors will receive new CPUIDs. The Clovertown CPUID will change from 06F7 to 06FB while Woodcrest changes from 06F6 to 06FB. Stepping G0 processors will also receive new SSPEC numbers.Stepping G0 processors will require a BIOS update with new micro

Intel's 975X Expess gets the "Bearlake" upgrade Intel will unveil the high-end version of its Bearlake-family next month ? the Intel X38 Express. The new Intel X38 Express replaces the 975X Express, which launched over a year ago with Intel?s Presler Netburst processors. The new chipset introduces new features to Intel?s high-end enthusiast and workstation platform such as PCIE 2.0 and DDR3 memory.New to the Intel X38 Express is support for dual full-speed PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. The dual PCIe 2.0 slots are compatible with AMD?s CrossFire technology for multi-GPU graphics processing. Motherboard manufacturers are also free to equip Intel X38 Express based boards with a third physical PCIe 2.0 x16 for triple-play physics. Due to chipset limitations, the third physical PCIe 2.0 x16 slot has lesser lanes, with most manufacturers opting for four lanes.DDR3 is the only officially supported memory for the Intel X38 Express. Intel touts DDR3-1333 memory for X38 Express motherboards. DDR2

Intel is taking the next step in environmentally friendly productsIntel Corporation announced on Tuesday that the future of its microprocessors will be lead-free and environmentally friendly. This follows a big tech industry shift towards products that are more environmentally friendly. The shift will begin with its line of "green" 45-nanometer high-k metal gate (Hi-k) processors, which includes the next-generation Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Xeon processors.Lead is mainly used in a variety of micro-electric "packages" and "bumps" that attach the Intel chip to "packages", which are then wrapped around the chip and used to connect it to the motherboard. Package designs include pin grid array, ball grid array, and land grid array, and will all be 100 percent lead-free.With the introduction of 65nm Yonah, Chipworks -- a company that reverse engineers chip packaging -- discovered that Intel silently transitioned from lead-tin solder-ball interconnects to plated copper pillars. Since

I just ran these tests using Xbench 1.3. The Intel iMac 24 inch, 2.16 Ghz, with 2 G of RAM and a Nvidia 7600 GT scored 110.56 using Xbench 1.3. The 2003 G4 eMac (1 G RAM, 32 MB ATI 7500 video card) scored a whopping 30.20. Some quick math tells you that we have a 3.6x increase in overall performance. Many of the graphics results come in at 5x, while things like disk access are not that different. The CPU is a factor of 3 faster, and graphics around 5. This seems reasonable. Although the eMac could play Halo "just", it managed about 20 to 25 fps. The Intel iMac would probably run it about 125 fps, since it runs Doom 3 at about 100 fps. It is difficult to compare two completely different systems accurately. Different chip architectures, one is a dual core system, one is a G4. Normal use makes it hard to tell the difference. Internet browsing, email, listening to iTunes, all seem the same. Browsing 4000 pictures in iPhoto is something else completely. On the iMac 24, it is fluid, fas

SAN FRANCISCO: Intel will demonstrate an experimental computer chip Monday with 80 separate processing engines, or cores, that company executives said provided a model for commercial chips that would be used widely in standard desktop, laptop and server computers within five years.While the chip is not compatible with Intel's current chips, the company said it had already begun design work on a commercial version that would essentially have dozens or even hundreds of Intel-compatible microprocessors laid out in a tiled pattern on a single chip.The chip design is intended to exploit a generation of manufacturing technology that the company introduced last month. Intel said it had changed the basic design of transistors in such a way that it would be able to continue to shrink them ? offering lower power and higher speeds ? for at least another half decade or more.Nitan Borkar, one of the chip's designers, showed an air-cooled computer based on the chip running a simple scientific calc

It looks like Intel has more than just wearable computers and newfangled UMPCs in mind for our future, with the company also recently showing off this slightly less far fetched "metro notebook," apparently aimed primarily at women. One of the most most conceptey elements here is the SideShow-esque e-ink display embedded in the laptop's lid, which promises to let you view your email, calendar, and other information even when the laptop's powered down. What's more, Intel also sees the entire laptop acting as a charging pad for your other gadgets, though it seems you'll still have to charge the laptop itself the old fashioned way. Even without those less-than-imminent additions, however, the laptop appears to be a pretty decent unit, measuing just 0.7 inches thick and packing a Core 2 Duo processor, along with Bluetooth, WiFi, and WiMAX connectivity.SOURCE
