Apple and Dell Comparison

A side elevation of the latest iMac and Dell computer, sometimes these comparison is so unfair, well, Apple iMac may look neat, tidy, slim and light in that picture but what happen to power supply? Yes, iMac comes with a big power supply, unlike a PC with the power supply encase in the casing, iMac tend to have it as a separate unit.

Intel 3.0GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6850 quad core processor

I am not an Intel fan but do get ready for a taste of Xeon power without the premium price kids, according to intel, this new four core processor spot a 8MB cache and a fast 1,333MHz front side bus.
With a price tag of $999, I think it is a little bit too expensive but for hardcore gamers and graphic designers, this could possible be a bargain considering the fact that Xeon processor capabilities is here now, makes me wonder what happen to AMD and the four core processor that they promise to release mid of this year.

Intel and Asustek Plans for low-cost laptop

Eat your heart out OLPC, it is a noble idea but I hate to admit that the design sucks, probably they design it that way so that there would be no second hand value. Well, anyway Intel and Asustek just announce a low-cost laptop that is small, portable, and light, it doesn’t spot any real processing power that will blow your brain away but it does have some really cool features.
The new Eee PC laptop, which costs just $200 aims to provide access to knowledge and modern forms of education to people in developing countries. Thus, Intel has named it as a “World Ahead” initiative.
Listed below are the features of the $200 Eee PC laptop: Display: 7-inches

Intel countersues Transmeta

Transmeta was the talk of the town 7 years ago when they launch their Crusor Processor chip, believed to be the future of processor where heat is not an issue. Well, they did manage to solve heating problem long time ago and address the issue well before intel did and realize that heating is stopping them from producing faster processor.
Now, intel is counter suing Transmeta claming that it is Transmeta that infringed intel’s technology, reminds me of the Apple vs Creative, if you can’t beat them, sue them.

Intel Processor With 4 Chips

Call it a miracle, with the recent launch of intel Core Duo chip which has two processor in a chip, intel is launching a Quad-Core processor that comes with 4 chips. Just imagine the fire power the chip has, couple with 64bit and the latest DDR2 ram, you’ve got a very powerful computer. Playing games won’t be the same again.
The first chip to have four computing engines will be the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor that the company says will deliver up to 70% performance improvement over its current chips, which have one or two computing cores. If you’re wondering what is inline for the future, wonder no further, according to intel the 80 core processor, yes… there is 80 processor in a single chip and the prototype processor is capable of achieving a Teraflop of performance, or one trillion instructions per second. This is a PS3 killer. Who need Video console in the near future?

Intel Core 2 Duo vs AMD

Its about time Intel brush up their image, with the release of Intel Core 2 Duo processor, finally intel has a chip that outperform AMD’s chip interm of price and speed. Just when you thought that a dual processor would be more than enough, intel fresh off its Core 2 Duo chips by announcing the release of quad-core processor, the timing couldn’t be good enough - AMD later this year will release a product called “4×4,” which is two AMD processors connected together on a high-end motherboard. Both chip maker will try and double up the number of processor in a chip, perhaps in the future a processor may be packed with as many as 100 chips - who did so much fire power anyway? unless you’re a hardcore gamer or in the multimedia industry.
The main issue would be the heat generated from these chips, as they double up each year so does the heat. This would be a draw back for laptops due to the fact that heat build-up requires noisy fans to keep the system cool, especially in notebooks. Apparently E6800 Extreme can be clocked up to 5.6GHz…. that is fast.
I find it weird that these chip maker only concentrate on making faster processor and doubling up the number of chips in it. Why not invest in a new cooling system, something that might solve this heating problem and eventually increase the chip processor speed. End of the day, it is not who came out with the most number of chip in a processor, it is those that are able to tame the heat produce by a processor.
