Hewlett-Packard researchers announced Tuesday that they have developed technology that could significantly boost the performance capabilities of an array of computer chips, while cutting back on power consumption at the same time. If the research proves sound and makes it to market, its impact could...
Semiconductor maker Hynix announced Monday that it has developed a smaller computer memory chip using a 60-nanometer process that -- at 800 MHz -- is the world's fastest. The improved DRAM reportedly delivers 1 GB capacity along with the blazing speed, which tops the performance of existing 667 Mhz ...
A new chip technology could encroach on flash memory and hard-disk drive market share, as a group of companies led by IBM explore phase-change memory. Big Blue, Macronix and Qimonda on Monday announced joint research results that give a major boost to this new type of computer memory, which they are...
Intel showed off its latest WiMax Connection 2300 chipset in Hong Kong this week, aimed at extending both the range and capacity of 802.11 or WiFi wireless networks. Though other cellular wireless technologies are used more for applications such as mobile video, Intel touts WiMax capability for cont...
AMD on Tuesday announced its transition from 90 nanometer to 65 nm process technology. The Athlon 64 X2 dual-core desktop processor is the first product to roll out under the new process. AMD's announcement comes months after Intel launched its 65 nm initiatives and is another step toward creating e...
As we roll to the end of the year, events continue to take place that are changing dramatically the technologies and environments we live in. Last week, Microsoft had a coming-out party for Vista -- but only for the business market. While most feel it can't ramp up in business until 2008, there is c...
Just two weeks after the debut of Intel's quad-core chips, AMD on Thursday announced its Quad FX Platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect architecture. AMD is touting the Quad FX as the first dual-socket, multi-core desktop PC platform designed to work with Windows Vista Ultimate. Intel has been acc...
Intel this week began selling quad-core Xeon and Core2 Extreme chips, making good on its promise to deliver four-core computer processors ahead of rival chip maker AMD. Market uptake of the new chips may be limited to customers who need improved performance over that of dual-core processing. Nonethe...
There was little fanfare but far-reaching ramifications for the PC industry this week as Dell rolled out its first notebook computers powered by processors from Advanced Micro Devices. Despite Dell's lack of marketing behind the move -- which follows on the PC giant's splashier offering of AMD deskt...
Everex Systems has released an energy-efficient notebook with a Via Technologies C7-M processor that saves on battery power and electric bills. The StepNote NC1500 is being sold only at Wal-Mart stores and at Wal-Mart online for US$498. Its 1.5 GHz Via processor consumes a low 12 watts, Everex said....
IBM researchers are using biological principles to cool computer chips with the aim of making faster, denser computer systems. Inspired by the way liquids are drawn away in tree leaves, roots or the human circulatory system, scientists developed a chip cap with a network of tree-like branched channe...
Just as dual-core processor technology is making its way into mainstream enterprise IT environments, AMD, Intel and Sun Microsystems are pushing for even more processor cores. Quad-core processing is on the way. The market is ready for this cutting-edge technology, though, thanks to IT architectures...
NEC on Tuesday added an interesting twist to the high-definition format battle: a semiconductor that crosses the boundaries between the competing standards. NEC's new chipset will be compatible with both the Blu-ray disc, which is backed by Sony and Matsushita Electric, and the HD DVD disc developed...
I visited two of the greatest cities in the United States last week. First, I was in San Francisco where Intel made a credible attempt to show that it intends to stay the market leader despite anything rival AMD has done. Then I went to New York to talk to folks about Hewlett-Packard's congressiona...
In a move to compete with its momentum-gaining rival AMD, Intel is expected to unveil its new server and desktop range of quad-core processors at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week. "Clovertown" is the code name for the server version, while "Kentsfield" refers to the desktop versi...
