Intel Launches Second Generation Processor Core

The second generation Core processor released by Intel eventually leading International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA. Same name i3, i5, and i7, but using the latest processor technology, previously called Sandy Bridge.

Latest Intel processor equipped with a number of the latest technology. One that stands out is the ability to display video better. A number of related technologies embedded in it is an Intel Insider, Quick Sync Video, and Wireless Display 2.0.

In total there are 20 types of processors Intel's Sandy Bridge, which was launched, the following six series chipset, Centrino WiFi, and WiMax adapters. Each processor has a four-core CPU and will be integrated directly with a graphics processor.

The new new product will come out to the market next week are produced using 32-nanometer chip production technology. Intel also plans to release two versions of Core him in February with more competitive prices. With the new processors, there are already more than 500 models of laptop and desktop that will use it throughout this year 2011.

Nokia and Intel Create 3D Hologram on mobile phone

Slowly but surely, Intel and Nokia is currently preparing a new breakthrough in the mobile world.

Nokia, Intel, and the University of Oulu Finland muster 24 researchers for this project.

Both big companies are working with the University of Oulu Finland, had opened a joint laboratory facilities to prepare a technology that can bring experience of virtual reality into the phone.

Research will use the open source operating system platform MeeGoo, Intel and Nokia, launched last February. The main objective is to develop the interface of three dimensional (3D) and virtual reality displays on existing technology, and possible development of 3D holographic images for smart phones.

With this technology, the phone will be capable of transmitting 3D holographic image of the person who was talking on the phone, which has just happened in science fiction films.

"3D and virtual worlds great potential to revolutionize the way people use mobile phones," said Mike tune, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Director, Nokia, told Computerworld site.

One of the initial applications to be developed, is a mobile virtual control panel to control light switch and heating at home.

According to Heikki Huomo, director of the Center for Internet Excellence, University of Oulu Finland, this paper is not intended to create a 3D experience that can only be enjoyed by the special glasses, because the phone screen will not meet the physical requirements that owned a large 3D screen.

Another possibility of this application, according Huomo, create social networks in a virtual world for mobile phones that use GPS and location information of users. "This will be the 'killer app' or at least is a success," said Heikki Huomo.

This research center will be supported by about two dozen researchers who will work at least for three years for this project brewing.

Director of Intel Lab Europe, Martin Curley said that the focus of this research is the development of open source software that will complement Intel's chips besutan.

According to Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, a research center is an early opportunity for Nokia and Intel to develop an operating system MeeGo.

3D can become such an important requirement for a mobile device sized width, such as tablet computers, or at least smart phone.

Processor Intel Core 2 Quad 2011 Retirement Year

As has been done before, to make room for new processors, Intel did discontinue its product is already long enough.

End of shelf-life Intel Core 2 Quad - quad-core processors - and Pentium E6300 - dual core processors - which are both built with 45 nanometer manufacturing process technology has been specified

Both processors are included in the list and discontinue production in 2011 will be discontinued in future years.

As quoted from TCMagazine, June 25, 2010, both versions of the tray and box versions of the two LGA 775 processors will still be available to be ordered by computer makers or retailers until December 24, 2010.

Buyer who gave the order on that date will receive their products on March 25, (box version) and June 24 (tray version) next year.

This time, the reason for Intel to stop production of the second processor is to prepare a place for newer processors, ie the version that was made with 32 nanometer manufacturing process.

As known, the Pentium E6300 has 2MB of L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB, speed of 2.8 GHz and has been present since Q2 2009. The Core 2 Quad Q9300 has 6MB of L2 cache, 1333MHz FSB, and the speed of 2.5 GHz has been circulating since Q1 2008.
