Intel will release third quarter new budget line of processors Celeron and Pentium. Models Celeron G530T and Pentium G630T included in the updated list of processors Sandy Bridge, supported by the motherboard Biostar.
The both chips feature low power consumption (35 watts TDP). But their opportunities are also limited by features such as Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading not provided. Pentium G630T model is more productive than the two new processors. The chip includes two cores operating at a clock frequency 2,3 GHz, cache volume in the third level and 3 MB integrated graphics core (GPU). Celeron G530T is also dual core, but works on 2,0 GHz clock and a 3 MB cache on the third level. Prices of the new processors are not yet announced.

Intel plans to launch soon a new processor socket LGA 1155, incl. chips and Celeron. The company has decided to compromise with the cache. Instead of 3 MB cache, the new Celeron LGA 1155 will have only 2 MB, which will affect the graphics performance. The models Celeron G530 and G540 will offer two cores, and G440 will have only one nucleus. Expected to be reduced and the frequency of HD Graphics 2000.
The date of release of the Celeron LGA 1155 and prices have not yet been announced.
Meanwhile, Intel will release Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge architecture with only $ 64. Dual-core processor comes with 3 MB cache and 2000 HD Graphics not support technology InTru 3D, Quick Sync Video and Clear Video. The chip will work at clock 2,6 GHz.

Intel will launch soon on the market cheaper 20-gigabyte solid-state drive. 2.5-inch SSD 311 device comes at a price ranging from 100 to 110 dollars, the company said. Such a small disk capacity is enough to work with caching technology Intel – Smart Response Technology, which improves time to boot, launch applications and other tasks.
The model reads sequential data rates up to 200 MB / s and writes at 105 MB / s. The disc was produced by 34-nanometer process technology and mono-layer cell flash memory. Time for trouble-free operation of a massive 311 SSD 1.2 million hours.
SSD 311 is known by the codename Larson Creek. Intel is expected to launch this series of models with higher capacity.

Two of AMD chipset for PCs have received certification for the standard USB 3.0, said the forum in the implementation of USB (USB-IF). This is an important step to promote high-speed standard, because so far only solutions for external companies provide support for USB 3.0 on the platforms of Intel and AMD. The certified chipsets are AMD A75 FCH (also known as Hudson-D3) and AMD A70M FCH (Hudson-M3). They are designed respectively for desktop and mobile PCs with fast processors AMD Llano, which combines a silicon crystal CPU and GPU. Each of the two chipset supports up to four port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ​​with a maximum theoretical speed for data transmission 4.8 gigabits per second, which is 10 times more than USB 2.0. Recently, Intel introduced its own high-speed interface Thunderbolt, which has raised concerns among industry that Intel will turn our back to standard USB 3.0. Intel, however, argues that two interfaces will coexist, and promised to build in USB 3.0 support in its chipsets.

Intel plans to introduce processors for remote management. New chips are expected to debut at the International Consumer Electronics Show CES 2011 in January, according to various online sources. Sandy Bridge chip comes with higher productivity and a number of improvements. In line mobile processors Sandy Bridge will be built in a special video module and several security technologies. The new remote control processor will allow blocking the laptop from a distance, in case of theft. Sandy Bridge is the codename for the new generation of processors from Intel, who come to inherit chips Nehalem, offering higher performance and a number of improvements. The massive sale of Sandy Bridge will start at CES 2011. Over 300 businesses and other organizations have lost more than 86,000 mobile computer stunning amount of 2,1 billion dollars, revealed a recent study of Intel and Ponemon Institute.

The network appears information about preparing the company’s Toshiba Corporation to launch a new laptop, which will be known as index NB305-10F. The netbook is quality and very proper for software performance testing and games testing. The device is based on new Intel Atom N455 processor with 1.66 GHz clock speed and has one gigabyte of RAM at a frequency of DDR3 1066 MHz. As the information given netbook is equipped with a 10.1-inch LCD (1024 x 600 pixels) and a white LED backlit screen. The portable computer comes preloaded with Windows 7 operating system Starter.  The computer is very quality and very good for business, traveling and even playing games. This is why we recommended it for software testing, games, movies and whatever you can imagine. Other characteristics of the Toshiba NB305-10F:
Integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics;
Hard disk capacity of 250 GB;
Network Card Ethernet LAN;
Adapter for wireless networks Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n;
Bluetooth module;
Built-in 0.3 megapixel web camera;
Touch control panel technology supports Multi-Touch;
Lithium-ion battery that guarantees up to 11 hours continuous operation.
Expected, the above product is sold for a price of 350 euros. This price is very low in comparison with similar products of Intel, IBM, Sony and many more. We really liked this laptop and really think that Toshiba are giving great offer with this netbook.

For a short time the market appears a very interesting processor – Intel Dual Core Celeron E1400. The interesting thing in it, that is a real dual-core Conroe processor running on a strong rate of 2.00GHz. Intel still uses the old names and Pentium Celeron, which we believe have been inappropriate for the segmentation of their processors. Even if given the legacy of Pentium processors and Celeron, it is this legacy of the powerful but cumbersome Pentium 4 (Willamette, Northwood, Prescott) and their analogues with truncated Celeron cache and system bus. Heritage can only be of Pentium M (Banias and Dothan), processors that were developed in Israel and who saved Intel from breathing on their neck AMD. Perhaps few people know that the Pentium M is a direct successor to the Pentium III Tualatin, Pentium M with a few amendments to be transformed into Yonah (Core Duo, Core Solo) – ie the current dual-core processors. Banias, Dothan and Yonah are words of Jewish origin, which clearly shows the origin and the relationship between processors.
There should be a clear difference between a Pentium architecture NetBurst (Pentium 4, Pentium D and derived XEON processors and Celeron) and the Pentium, resulting from the Intel P6 (Pentium Pro, Pentium III Tualatin, later and modern Pentium M Core Duo, Solo, 2 Duo, Quad). NetBurst was branded by Intel as inefficient and expensive and therefore was removed from production. After these historical notes, let us focus on this overview of the Intel Dual Core Celeron E1400. The core processor is Conroe – 512, ie the cache of the processor is reduced to 512KV (typical for Celeron).

Highly dependent on the benevolence of INTEL, websites reviews tactfully silent about actual performance of Intel Atom processors and the performance of Atom + i945 platforms compared with other single-core solutions to Intel. Objective of our test is to show the real performance of the Intel Atom, compared with the older and would slower Pentium M (Centrino processor). Test machines are: – DELL Inspiron Mini 9 (9-inch netbook with Intel Atom 1600MHz Hyper Threading); – IBM ThinkPad X40 (12-inch mini-laptop with LV Pentium M 1400Mhz (Dothan 2MB) processor); – IBM Thinkpad X31 (12-inch mini-laptop with a Pentium M 1400Mhz (Banias 1MB) processor); – Toshiba Portege R100 (one of the most thin and elegant 12-inch mini-notebooks with ULV Pentium M (Banias 1MB) processor). Laptops are tested with the OS – Windows XP Professional SP3. Before proceeding to the test results and analysis will make a brief overview of mobile machines. DELL Inspiron Mini9 – unlike the prototype of the Netbook from Asus, DELL mobile device is very beautiful, elegant, with an excellent display with high resolution (1024 * 600), which does not need to constantly scroll pages and images. The keyboard is quite comfortable, but obviously not up space for functional butoni.Bateriyata is quite durable (over 3 hours), which is normally a super-economical ATOM. Model has a camera that is binding attribute of the modern laptop / netbook. Mini-machine no hard disk and Solid State “HDD”, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Main drawback is the small size memory. (more…)

Itanium server processor is not dead and have a future, it is clear from the statement of representatives of Intel and HP. Both companies denied a recent allegation of Oracle for the death of Itanium.
Intel promised to release at least two generations of its server processor. The company claims that its specialists continue to work on developing the chip.
In confirmation of this from Intel revealed several code names and details for the future processor Itanium. In particular, it comes to chips Poulson, who have 8 cores and will produce 32-nanometer process.
Like the future chips Sandy Bridge-EP and Westmere-EX, CPU Poulson has circular design in which the nuclei are placed outside of the silicon crystal in the center is a cache.
Oracle, in turn, attacked the market for HP servers. The both companies had exclusive partnership since 2008 in the servers for storage. Later, however, Oracle has acquired Sun and terminate the exclusive contract with HP, and began to launch Sparc systems and argues that they are better than HP machines.
