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.

Celeron Dual Core E1400

Viliyana Filipova — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:20:53 +0000

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).
The main difference between Core Duo, and E1400 as it is and Core2Duo (after Merom) processors 64-bit architecture of the past. The ability to work with 64-bit operating systems is available even in single-core AMD processors, but Intel imposition of this architecture defined cause difficulties. Downplaying the 64-bit OS from the marketers of Intel is very unfair, but these are the rules of trade. Many can be told for the history of processors, efficiency, productivity, etc., but our goal is to show the results of the tests rather than write a dissertation. Competitors to test Dual Core Celeron E1400 is AMD Ahtlon X2 3600 + (processor revolution in the processor, the construction and mobilized the scientific potential to create an Intel Conroe) and Dual Core Pentium D 2.8GHz (representative of the last dinosaurs of the NetBurst architecture).
Test operating system is Windows XP Pro SP3.
Configurations are on equal footing for video-production of powerful and affordable video card NVidia GeForce 9600GSO 768MB DDR3. It is necessary to mention that the AMD X2 3600 + and Pentium D are placed in a more favorable position than E1400, because they are tested in branded machines – HP Pavilion t, respectively, 3615 and HP Pavilion t3717. Celeron Dual Core E1400 e mounted in a box Delux, with a budget motherboard Asus (G31 chipset) and is cooled by cooler boxing (rather quiet and efficient).

Netbook or small laptop?

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. IBM ThinkPad X40 – great micro-laptop, which is extremely lightweight, compact and beautiful. The laptop is not felt as a burden in my hand, but the touch feels robustness of magnesium-titanium components. The keyboard is very comfortable to handle. Available revolutionary for its time Active Protection System – a movement sensor and acceleration, excluding hard disk during the fall and eliminates the possibility for damage to data. Processor is reduced in voltage (Low Voltage), but it is solid Dothan with 2MB cache. Coupled with an extremely economical embedded video of Intel (GMA 900), the laptop is also economical and highly productive. With normal battery earn about 2 hours work. IBM ThinkPad X31 – many materials are described in our website for this model. This is my personal choice for a laptop. I am addicted to H31, and will not now comment on all its merits – the results of the tests will show what is capable of this extraordinary machine, even among those serious competitors. Toshiba Portege R100 – amazingly slim laptop that impresses each witness. Many style, elegance, while a solid performance (metal shell). Perfect keyboard, excellent touch-pod. Strange video system, demonstrating a surprisingly high results. We tested the laptop with a 900Mhz ULV Pentium M, but the low frequency does not prevent comfortable working with this cute machine. We had many adventures in our laboratory while installing OS on a laptop, but the effort was worth – a good display, fantastic design, excellent fast processor and video system.

Intel and HP will make new generations of the processor Itanium

Viliyana Filipova — Sun, 01 May 2011 08:20:52 +0000

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.
