Last week was filled with what could represent the beginning of one of the biggest overall changes to the cell phone market. The short-term change was the announcement of a solid and apparently well-controlled developer platform coupled with the long anticipated Exchange integration announcement. Ho...
A new technology unveiled Wednesday aims to prevent hardware privacy by protecting microchips with the virtual equivalent of an embedded "lock" that can be opened only by the patent owner. Called "EPIC" -- short for Ending Piracy of Integrated Circuits -- the technique relies on established cryptogr...
AMD on Tuesday introduced its latest motherboard GPU, the AMD 780 Series, in Hanover, Germany, at CeBIT 2008. Styling it as the most advanced motherboard GPU in the industry, AMD said the platform is intended to provide a "rich computing experience" for both casual gamers and multimedia enthusiasts ...
Intel has settled on a new brand name for its family of low-power processors, which formerly were referred to by the code names "Silverthorne" and "Diamondville." Now dubbed "Atom," the new processors will find their way into low-power mobile Internet devices and ultra low-cost computers. Intel also...
San Jose, Calif., startup MetaRAM has launched new technology it says can quadruple the memory capacity of servers and workstations. The DDR2 MetaSDRAM technology boosts performance and at the same time decreases the cost of high-performance systems, the company said. Founded by former AMD Chief Tec...
A new study suggests that dynamic memory on computers stores encrypted, secure data longer than originally thought. The research project -- conducted by eight researchers from Princeton University, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Wind River Systems -- focused on retrieving encrypted data from...
Intel rolled out its latest offering for gaming enthusiasts Tuesday at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Formerly code-named "Skulltrail," the Intel Dual Socket Extreme Desktop platform brings gamers wickedly good performance with eight processor cores and support for multiple graphic...
Handset makers are gathering in Barcelona this week for the Mobile World Congress, a conference where the market's biggest players show you why that top-dollar phone you picked up two weeks ago will be obsolete by Labor Day. Some of the biggest news coming out of the show focused on the multitude of...
Panasonic has unveiled the world's fastest Secure Digital High Capacity card, with a whopping 32 GB of memory. The new card, to be released April, will comply with the Class 6 speed specification of the SD Card Association, which develops and publishes technical standards for SD card technology. Cla...
A partnership between Texas Instruments and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has produced a proof-of-concept microchip architecture that is 10 times more efficient than current technologies. The design -- which was presented on Tuesday at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference --...
Intel has unveiled a trio of new technologies at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco: the Silverthorne mobile processor; the Tukwila Itanium chip -- which has a record 2 billion transistors; and a method for doubling the capacity of phase-change products. It is general...
Intel and Micron have developed a high-speed NAND flash memory technology the two say is five times faster than conventional NAND. The technology, jointly developed by the two companies as part of their IM Flash Technologies joint venture, will allow data to be transferred faster for computing, vide...
CES is an incredible show, but I was both sad and happy to see the final keynote Bill Gates gave at CES, both because I like Bill and probably won't see him personally again, and because he is moving to something that he really wants to do, I'm happy for him. I also think this CES signals a major ch...
Intel unveiled 16 new Penryn processors at the International 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Monday. Coming in a variety of form factors, all of the new chips are based on Intel's 45-nanometer manufacturing process, and five of them represent the first Penryn-based processors built for l...
Researchers at IBM announced Thursday the development of a technological breakthrough known as a "silicon Mach-Zehnder elctro-optic modulator." The device would replace the copper wires normally used to transmit information between the multiple cores in a microprocessor. IBM's optical modulator woul...
