Intel, which wants to be at the forefront of a trend toward more powerful mobile devices capable of full Internet capability, said its new Menlow platform will be a big part of that future. Discussed at this year's Intel Developer's Forum by Anand Chandrasekher, the senior vice president and general...
Intel touted its processor roadmap during its Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco Tuesday, and the company even showed off a working model of its 45 nanometer next-generation processor, dubbed "Nehalem," as well as functioning 32 nanometer chips. In addition, the processor giant is gearing up to ...
Hoping to offer something for all budgets and desktop computing power requirements, Advanced Micro Devices is planning to sell triple-core versions of its multi-core processors. The Phenom Triple-Core units will be less expensive than its forthcoming top-of-the-line quad-core, AMD said. "Triple-core...
I just came back from the Atlantis resort and a nice vacation playing on some incredible water slides, swimming with dolphins, and floating on a mile-long endless pool. I had a ball, but it appears that others decided to be very busy in my absence. AMD, for one, brought out its long-awaited Barcelon...
In the latest x86-based server processor war between Intel and AMD, both companies are on the offensive. Last week, Intel preemptively launched the first strike with its Xeon 7300 series, and Monday, AMD rolled out its Quad-Core AMD Opteron series. Both claim the quad-core name, but Intel's version ...
Advanced Micro Devices has launched its long-awaited quad-core addition to its groundbreaking Opteron x86 processor lineup -- the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, a.k.a. "Barcelona," which AMD is billing as the world's first native x86 processor to go quad-core. There are several iterations of Barce...
Intel released its new lineup of Quad-Core Xeon 7300 series processors Wednesday, throwing a punch at rival Advanced Micro Devices, which plans to release its own quad-core processor line, dubbed "Barcelona," early next week. The new 7300 series from Intel can deliver more than twice the performance...
Intel has upgraded its vPro processor technology for desktop PCs with a host of new security features that protect against viruses, hacker attacks and other threats, the company announced Monday. The upgraded vPro, formerly code-named "Weybridge," combines an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with an Intel...
Tilera Corporation, a startup semiconductor company, has launched its first product -- what it's calling the "world's highest performance embedded processor" -- at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University. The product is the TILE64 processor, a 64-core processor with an architecture that Tile...
The iPhone continues to do well for a device of its price and class, but the product that is likely to really break open the segment for Apple is the anticipated lower cost, more limited, smaller nano offering. The product in the market that is most similar to what the nano is likely to be is the Ne...
Summer is typically a quiet time, as the industry takes a breath prior to the back-to-school rush. This year was a bit of an exception, with the launch of the Apple iPhone, which may get credit for revolutionizing much of the tech and consumer electronics industry. While sales are well below expecta...
Ever pushing the computing speed limit, Intel says its new Core 2 Extreme mobile dual-core processor is the world's highest-performing notebook chip. The company, in announcing the new processor, said there is a big demand for high-performance processors for notebooks being used by "hardcore gamers,...
AMD announced Friday that it will begin shipping its quad-core Opteron processor, dubbed "Barcelona," in August. Enterprise-level server manufacturers including Sun Microsystems have committed to using the standard and low-watt special edition versions of the chip, giving the chipmaker a much needed...
University of Maryland researcher Uzi Vishkin announced this week that he has created a prototype device using a parallel processor that could very well be the "next generation of personal computers." The test model, using technology based on parallel processing on a single chip, is capable of compu...
The world of high performance computing is expanding every day, particularly in the fields of geosciences, molecular biology and medical diagnostics, where scientists are increasingly turning to supercomputers to crunch massive amounts of data via complex simulations and applications. Graphics proce...
