Seagate Technology, one of the two leading manufacturers of hard drives, put on sale 2.5-inch drive for laptops with capacity of 470 gigabytes. Model of second-generation Momentus XT is the fastest drive in the mobile consumer through the company. It is a hybrid device that combines magnetic plates and flash memory (SSD). Technology Adaptive Memory usage scenarios recognize the disk and the user moves the most frequently used data in flash memory for faster access.
Momentus XT is 70% faster than the previous generation of Seagate hard drives and up to 3 times faster than traditional hard disks (magnetic plate) with the same capacity, according to the manufacturer. Built-in flash memory capacity 8GB has a structure of cells at one level (Single Level Cell), which increases the reliability of the device. The price of the new drive is about $ 245.

Intel is working on creating a fast Dual Core processor Core i3. This model will be clocked 2370M 2,4 GHz. Early last month the company strengthen series Core i3 (Sandy Bridge) CPU with 2350M, which added to 100 MHz clock frequency (2,3 GHz) and 50 MHz to integrated graphics mode turbo. The future flagship Core i3M series will include two processor cores technology to support Hyper-Threading. The processor will have an operating frequency 2,4 GHz, cache level three with a volume of 3 MB and HD Graphics 3000 graphics on the same frequency as in i3-2350M.
The new Core i3-2370M, receiver 2350M, already present in the two official document on HP and Intel, reported CPU-World. Notebooks designed on its base, is expected to be available in coming months.

AMD today launched two new series of server processors with improved performance, scalability and efficiency. Opteron 6200 and 4200, known, code-named Interlagos and Valencia, increased virtualization scalability with up to 73%, the company said. The chips provide greater bandwidth for more virtual machines on servers and processing of continuously increasing loads. In general, businesses will receive a 84% higher productivity, says AMD. Opteron 6200 and 4200 made more effective “cloud” working with half the energy of the nucleus, 2/3 less space for installation and up to two thirds lower cost platform. The series includes a complete portfolio of processor 4 to 16 cores. Achieved the highest energy efficiency compared to previous generation platforms – up to 4,375 W per core, and the highest 2P server TPCC result.
The new processors support up to 4 channels of memory modules with memory to 1600 MHz and up to 12 DIMMs on the CPU, or 384GB total memory to the CPU. Are also supported up to four x16 HyperTransport (HT3) links to the 6,4 GT / s link. According to AMD, the industry is at a critical juncture: virtualization offer new levels of consolidation and businesses are turning to cloud for even greater flexibility and efficiency. “We designed the new AMD Opteron processor just for that moment,” said Paul Strasekar, corporate vice president and general manager, Commercial Business, AMD.
