Intel plans to use novel materials and manufacturing processes in order to continue to develop smaller and faster computer chips once current technologies no longer do the trick. The leading chipmaker, which has been stung recently by some near-term product retreats and operational hiccups, laid out...
IBM has announced a new low-cost blade server along with a set of "Business-in-a-Box" solutions targeting small- to mid-sized businesses (SMB). The entry-level BladeCenter Express Model gives smaller companies access to IBM's eServer technology at a lower price. The pared down server can still accom...
Intel said today it has shelved plans to design a LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) chip for flat-panel televisions. Intel first touted the chip nine months ago, saying it would drop the price of flat-screen TVs to under $2,000. Intel's exit from the digital television chip market is a sign of intern...
Just days after dropping prices on its line of Centrino mobile processors for notebook PCs, Intel has added an incrementally speedier chip: the Pentium M 765. Analysts said the new chip is no big deal. Jim McGregor, principal analyst at In-Stat/MDR, told TechNewsWorld that the slightly higher speed ...
Intel announced today that it will slash prices on its processors used in mobile computers by up to one-third. The move comes as the holiday season approaches without any sign that consumer demand will grow or even remain steady, analysts said. "They realize they're competing pretty heavily for ever...
As servers with dual-core processors come closer to hitting the market, Microsoft announced today it will not base its per-processor software licensing charges on the number of cores in a chip, sticking to the traditional price per processor, regardless of its number of cores. The issue has risen in...
AMD and Intel have shifted focus away from processor clock speed toward such issues such as power and heat. But the gigahertz are still climbing in one market segment: the ultra high-end, where gaming enthusiasts want the fastest silicon available. It is not a large market, but it is a loyal one. Bo...
With the proclamation that it intends to overtake EMC as the top enterprise storage supplier, IBM announced today the DS6000, a disk storage system slightly bigger than a VCR, and the TotalStorage DS8000, which can act either as a single system or, through partitioning, as multiple systems. Rich Lec...

Firing the latest salvo in the war over next-generation DVD formats, electronics companies Sony, Matsushita Electric and Sharp plan to release camcorders using the Blu-ray DVD format in 2005. The companies are working on a rewritable, 3-inch (8 centimeter) disc. Currently available discs are 12 cm, ...
Advanced Micro Devices' dual-core Opteron processor will boost performance 30 to 55 percent over single-core Opterons, the company said at the Fall Processor Forum yesterday. AMD also said it is on target to release the chips for one- to eight-way servers in mid-2005, beating Intel to market. Analys...
IBM is set to announce this week a major radio frequency identification (RFID) strategy that involves integrating the next-generation supply-chain and tracking technology with existing data systems. Seen as a refinement and eventually replacement of barcode supply-chain tracking and inventory, the w...
AMD and IBM are extending their microprocessor manufacturing collaboration deal another three years and will now continue working together on next-generation computer chips through 2008, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing from AMD this week. The extension, which has yet to be a...
The Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation has issued a report providing strong guidance on how to assess exposure for personal technology, with a heavy focus on personal computers.
