Advanced Micro Devices has launched its long-awaited quad-core addition to its groundbreaking Opteron x86 processor lineup -- the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, a.k.a. "Barcelona," which AMD is billing as the world's first native x86 processor to go quad-core. There are several iterations of Barce...
Intel released its new lineup of Quad-Core Xeon 7300 series processors Wednesday, throwing a punch at rival Advanced Micro Devices, which plans to release its own quad-core processor line, dubbed "Barcelona," early next week. The new 7300 series from Intel can deliver more than twice the performance...
Intel has upgraded its vPro processor technology for desktop PCs with a host of new security features that protect against viruses, hacker attacks and other threats, the company announced Monday. The upgraded vPro, formerly code-named "Weybridge," combines an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with an Intel...
Tilera Corporation, a startup semiconductor company, has launched its first product -- what it's calling the "world's highest performance embedded processor" -- at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University. The product is the TILE64 processor, a 64-core processor with an architecture that Tile...
The iPhone continues to do well for a device of its price and class, but the product that is likely to really break open the segment for Apple is the anticipated lower cost, more limited, smaller nano offering. The product in the market that is most similar to what the nano is likely to be is the Ne...
Summer is typically a quiet time, as the industry takes a breath prior to the back-to-school rush. This year was a bit of an exception, with the launch of the Apple iPhone, which may get credit for revolutionizing much of the tech and consumer electronics industry. While sales are well below expecta...
Ever pushing the computing speed limit, Intel says its new Core 2 Extreme mobile dual-core processor is the world's highest-performing notebook chip. The company, in announcing the new processor, said there is a big demand for high-performance processors for notebooks being used by "hardcore gamers,...
AMD announced Friday that it will begin shipping its quad-core Opteron processor, dubbed "Barcelona," in August. Enterprise-level server manufacturers including Sun Microsystems have committed to using the standard and low-watt special edition versions of the chip, giving the chipmaker a much needed...
University of Maryland researcher Uzi Vishkin announced this week that he has created a prototype device using a parallel processor that could very well be the "next generation of personal computers." The test model, using technology based on parallel processing on a single chip, is capable of compu...
The world of high performance computing is expanding every day, particularly in the fields of geosciences, molecular biology and medical diagnostics, where scientists are increasingly turning to supercomputers to crunch massive amounts of data via complex simulations and applications. Graphics proce...
A promising technology that involves controlling light with magnets could improve the speed and reduce the juice requirements of future computer chips. The technology, developed by researchers at the U.S. Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., and the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada...
Intel unveiled its 3 Series chipset family designed for playing high-definition media and for supporting the company's 45nm Penryn processors due later this year. The highly anticipated chipsets, formerly codenamed "Bearlake," were presented at the Computex Taipei trade show in Taiwan. The first chi...
Once a feisty competitor that beat Intel to market with processor innovations and lower costs, chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices has lately slumped a bit. That could change, as Japanese electronics giant Toshiba confirmed Tuesday it plans to use AMD processors in some of its laptops. The deal would p...
Intel will be eliminating a toxic heavy metal from its computer chip manufacturing It will begin using lead-free solder with next-generation 45nm Hi-k chips in the Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Xeon families, the company announced Wednesday. Lead has been a concern in computer manufacturing, as...
A group of semiconductor firms have opted to extend their partnership to develop high-performance, energy-efficient chips down to the 32 nanometer scale. Led by IBM, the alliance works under the concept of the Common Platform model that lets the group jointly develop semiconductor technology as well...
