Intel and AMD, again on the brink of war

Intel and AMD, again on the brink of war, and most likely without the court that the conflict is unlikely to be resolved. But the fact is that in the distant 2001, the two companies reached an agreement on the use of certain technologies developed by Intel, x86 processors in production in factories AMD. But recently, the Green Team, as AMD is often called himself, has rid itself of its manufacturing capacity and handed them over to the new company - Globalfoundries.

This company was created with the Advanced Technology Investment (ATIC), to jointly produce chips. This solution AMD, we can say, Intel is not angry at the joke, as well as processor giant felt such a move a grave violation of the agreement on the licensing of certain technologies developed by Intel, from 2001. In an interview with a correspondent for Reuters, Sivell Bruce (Bruce Sewell), the chief lawyer of Intel, said that AMD does not have the right to transfer the right to use Intel developed technologies to third parties without the permission of the copyright, that is Intel. Now that AMD has 60 days to correct this "error", otherwise Intel would bring it to court. For its part, AMD said that it had not violated the terms of this agreement, and Intel has no right to simply cancel it. Apparently, AMD believes that it, too, is among the founders Globalfoundries, so the agreement is automatically extended, but with the Intel strongly disagreed.

According to analysts, Intel does not want to bring the case before the court and sought a court decision.

Sales in PS3 is not growing?

Apparently, the game developers are already tired of waiting, when will grow sales of PS3. According to TG Daily, Electronic Arts, through the head of the sports games, Peter Moore (Peter Moore) has called on Sony to lower the price of the PS3 as soon as possible. In an interview with Reuters journalists, Moore said: "It is impossible not to be reckoned with Nintendo, as the company controls nearly half the market of gaming prefixes.

On the other hand, Dil, Peter (Peter Dille), vice-president of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) for marketing, said that his company was very satisfied with the results of the sale of PS3 and is not planning any price cuts to the game console in the near future.

Remember that at the moment, PS3 is the most expensive among the so-called leading troika - PS3, Wii, Xbox, and its price is 399 dollars, that is it for 200 and 150 dollars more expensive than the Xbox and Wii, respectively. In October 2007, after Sony lowered the price of the PS3 from 500 to 400 U.S. dollars, almost doubled its sales for the month. According to Yves Gillemo (Yves Guillemot), Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft, one of the largest games developers in Europe, the developers of games really get much benefit from lower prices for game consoles.

Despite the fact that the hardware in terms of PS3, a platform that has huge potential, but so far Sony has not been able to realize its benefits, and lags behind its competitors in sales. According to preliminary estimates, by 2010, will be sold around 14 PS3. For comparison, at that time will be sold not less than 28 mil. prefixes Wii and 9.7 million. Xbox. According to analysts, Sony could easily reduce the price of PS3 in the U.S. 50-100 in the next two months, and such a decision would have no impact on its financial position. On the other hand, Japanese people can understand, because Sony is now struggling with the consequences of the crisis. According to recent data, the Japanese company has already reduced its staff by 16 thousand people, and continues to close factories.

The First Google Phone from Samsung is ready?

Engadget claims that the first Samsung smartphone Android platform is already ready, and moreover, was seen during the presentation of new products and the Netherlands. The event was organized by one of the Samsung dealers in the country, and this picture was obtained there. The quality of pictures, I should say, very low, but it seems that it is real, and not forgery.

According to preliminary data, the apparatus has a processor with a nominal clock frequency of 528 GHz, as well as the type of capacitive touch display, and expansion slot for memory cards microSD. It supports not only the four-band GSM, and UMTS 900 or 2100 (for USA and Europe, respectively).

Apparently, Samsung has already completed the first smartphone on the Android platform has been completed, and the South Korean company is ready or nearly ready to put on the market. Note that all of the above information is only preliminary.

Addition to the B & O BeoVision family

Danish company Bang & Olufsen officially announced a new LCD TV HD - BeoVision 8. This model has a screen size of 40 inch fully meets all the requirements as specified in the Full HD (1080p). Her brief technical characteristics are as follows: a standard resolution of 1920 × 1080, response time 6 ms, and its brightness and kontrasnost of 500 nits and 3000:1. Apparently, in this case, namely the static, not dynamic contrast, as B & O is very high value on our reputation and does not try to wishful thinking. Among other features, you can select the refresh rate of 100 Hz and full compatibility with the system of home automation BeoLink from B & O.

Note that the BeoVision 8 has a very decent built-acoustics, which consists of the side speakers and a subwoofer, which is located at the bottom of the shell and is directed downwards. According to the B & O, this arrangement of the speakers creates a so-called "orchestral pit, and significantly improves the sound quality. TV supports all versions of TV standards PAL, SECAM and NTSC, but also has a digital DVB-HD tuner.

While in a press release from the B & O, the model is described as a model for entry-level, most likely, BeoVision 8 will be more expensive than similar solutions from other manufacturers. The point is that the B & O positions itself as a manufacturer of audio and video hi-end, and she did little cheap. Recall that in the delivery BeoVision 8 does not include remote control Beo4.

Blackberry Gemini again hit the frame

Portal Boy Genius Report published a fresh snapshot of the new Blackberry smartphone from Research In Motion (RIM) - Gemini 8325. This is the so-called "spy" photo, so its quality, as we have seen, leaves much to be desired. Nonetheless, BGR says that the original shot, not forgery.

According to the plan of RIM, the model must come to replace the Blackberry Curve. It will not support 3G, but only the four-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE. Staff has keyboard QWERTY, 2-megapixel camera, and it supports display resolution of 320 × 240 pixels. It seems that the navigation key was derived from the Motorola RAZR, but if you honestly, it was not very much suited Blackberry. If contends BGR, the unit is running OS 5.0 and supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/draft-n.

On the cost and availability of the Blackberry family representative has not yet been reported.

Adamo will be different

As we know, Dell today officially presented its ultrathin laptops - Adamo. But if you believe Engadget, this is only the first model in the series, and apart from it, Dell plans to release yet another model - Adamo 9. As seen in the above photo, at the moment, the whole line consists of two models - Adamo Adamo 9 and 13. Apparently, the latest model will have a smaller, 9-inch display.

It should also be noted that this list is also another model in the series of Studio One - Studio One 22. It is not difficult to guess, this is a panel computer models like the Studio One 19, which was presented recently. The truth is, most likely this model will have a larger 22-inch display. It is possible that this type of touch screen Multitouch, as 19-inch version is just such a display.

Qualcomm and Freescale want to try to force Intel

Apparently, Qualcomm and Freescale really want to take away a large portion of Intel's cake in the form of market Netbook. As you know, in this market segment still dominated by processor Atom, and although the processor giant has financial and technological capabilities, Qualcomm and Freescale are determined to fight it. It should be recalled that at the moment, Intel is the first line in the Scheduled rank the world's semiconductor manufacturers, and Qualcomm on the 8 th place. But it seems that the unequal struggle had no trouble either Qualcomm, nor Freescale.

As expected, Qualcomm, and Freescale will demonstrate its first Netbook at Computex 2009 in June this year. So, this exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to get acquainted with two of the Netbook Pegatron and Wistron, which are based on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform and Freescale i.MX51. Regarding Snapdragon, this platform is already well known for example, the latest smartphone Toshiba TG01 (pictured), but so far little is known about the platform offered by Freescale. According to preliminary data, it consists of the i.MX51 processor and motherboard ARM Coretex A8.S other hand, NVIDIA is also actively promoting its platform Tegra. Indeed, this is One-solution (System-On-Chip). According to recent data, MSI is already actively engaged in the development of fully functional mobile systems based on the Tegra. By the way, and MSI, and ASUS has recently confirmed that they are exploring the possibility to establish serial production Netbook Snapdragon platform based on Qualcomm.

Thus, in the near future with Atom processors from Intel will be very serious competitors in the form of processors ARM. It may seem strange, but the Atom virtually no competition on the platform of x86, in spite of all efforts on the part of VIA. According to experts from the Information Network, share Netbook ARM-based processors could reach 55% mark by 2012. The point is that the cost of these chips is much cheaper than the Atom, a Netbook based on them will work under Linux, not Windows. On the other hand, other analysts believe that by that time, the proportion Netbook processor-based x86 could be as much 80%. Perhaps only time can tell who is right in this dispute, but in any case, this summer we will see the first Netbook processor-based ARM.

The futures of Athon

If anything extraordinary will happen in the near future, AMD returns to the market the first 4-processor based on the nuclear core Propus. Their official name - Athlon X4. All models in this series are categorized as budget processor, and in contrast to Deneb and Heka, they do not have the cache L3. Moreover, the size of their L2 cache is only 2 MB, or 512 KB per core.

As far as we know, the older model of this series is Athlon X4 615 2.7 GHz Athlon X4 605 2.5 GHz. These chips have a TDP 95 W, and as expected, they should see the light in April. Nevertheless, evil speaker claimed that AMD was allegedly transferring their production to III the most interesting: on the processors that are capable Propus? Thus, the results of preliminary tests conducted by PC Online, show that Propus not powerful Phenom X4 9750. In multi testing CineBench test platform based on the Athlon X4 2,8 GHz scored 8738 total points, which is much smaller than the platform-based Phenom X4 9750 (9500 points).

Perhaps, in this case it was exactly on the Athlon X4 615 2.7 GHz, but with a slightly raised the clock frequency, as tested processor runs at 2.8 GHz. It is also worth noting that the test platform is based on the 790FX motherboard and memory DDR2.

AMD is betting on the dispersal

As is known, the core Deneb has a very decent accelerating potential, although at the moment, AMD does not have anything to compare to Intel Core i7 performance. Nevertheless, the Green Team, as AMD calls themselves often do not lose heart and continues to "rivet" new models of Phenom II with fantastic accelerating potential.

So, according to forum participants XtremeSystems, in the Phenom II processors from AMD will soon be the new processor with vesma high accelerating potential. At this time we know for certain that the official name of the chip - Phenom II X4 995, and during testing it broke with 3.2 to 4 GHz.

It should be noted that at an operating voltage of 1.25 in the clock speed of the processor at 3.2 GHz, but if you raise this figure to 1.45 As can be easy to disperse up to 4 GHz, even in the air. " True, this will raise the clock speed HyperTransport system bus from 200 to 250 MHz. It is not clear when AMD will introduce users to the court, but at least we know that it exists and it is quite possible that her presentation will be held very soon.

Apparently, Phenom II X4 995 comes the replacement Phenom II X4 3,1 GHz. Out of this model has been scheduled for the II quarter, but was canceled for unknown reasons, even though AMD has been very happy with this chip. According to AMD, its productivity was higher than expected. But, more likely, instead it will come exactly Phenom II X4 995.

The release of a new flagship LG Arena

Finally LG officially introduced the LG phone Arena in Europe. The new flagship is one of the most anticipated phone company and already has nearly a million pre-orders. New-style interface has the iPhone c multiple virtual 3D-screens. It is also equipped with a 5-megapixel camera and a graphics chip from AMD, which the phone can play movies in formats, DivX and XviD.

Novelty also supports Dolby Mobile sound technology, and has 8GB internal memory, as well as a slot for memory card format up to 32GB microSDHC. Arena comes in gray and black design. The main drawback is the lack of new items of local support for 3G. Price's new smartphone is not yet known.

Computer TriGem will receive the support of HD

TriGem announced the latest in its line of computers such as "all-in-one" Averatec. This will be a 18.4-inch D1133 AIO, whose goal - to show that the budget Desktops able to do much more. A great step forward will be an opportunity to play HD-video through the integrated graphics chipsets Radeon HD 3200. TriGem calls itself D1133 budget video station. Others read the specifications within news.

The computer is equipped with a hard drive to 250GB, 2GB memory, DVD-drive, card reader 4-in-1, eSATA ports and four USB 2.0.
