Intel has launched new SSD’s which uses 34nm flash NAND chips produced by IM technologies. 34nm flash chips were supposed to be went into production last year in november but due to some technical issue’s IM technologies could not mass produce 34nm flash chips, which Intel required so as to use the 34nm flash chips in their SSD’s.

Thanks to a global recession, analysts have predicted that the global graphics card market will shrink by 12% this year. The graphics market has evolved a lot thanks to recession and the high degree of competition between ATi and Nvidia. ATi understood the needs of the consumer and came out with killer graphics card like [...]

Facebook has been complaining about how their latest racks of server from AMD and Intel have been unable to provide them the performance improvement which both the companies have been claiming. Facebook Vice President Jonathan Heiliger said that the engineers at Facebook have hardly seen any performance improvement and energy saving from the new processors from Intel and AMD which both the companies tout. Jonathan Heiliger said, “The biggest thing that surprised us … is the less-than-anticipated performance gains from new micro architectures. The performance gains they are touting in the press, we are not seeing in our applications.”

Intel today launched 2 new ‘Celeron’ branded processors namely the Intel E3200 and Intel E3300. Both the processors are made on 45nm fabrication process and feature twice the L2 cache of their predecessor at 1mb. Most importantly both the processors support virtualization which is very important for using the inbuilt virtualization feature in Windows 7.

Intel Core i7 processors still have not become popular among the masses due to its high price but still Intel Core i7 processors provide a killer performance and have a great overclocking potential. But Intel Core i7 processors run extremely hot and their maximum temps. under load with the stock cooler can easily reach in excess of 80c. This is the reason why many manufacturers are coming out with cpu coolers for Core i7 processors.

Few days ago Corsair announced that its going to stop using Elpida hyper memory chips in their Corsair Dominator GT and XMS3 series of DDR3 RAM’s as these RAM chips are unstable under certain conditions. Corsair also recalled the RAM’s which used Elpida hyper memory chips and were already sold. Corsair said that many users [...]

Intel E7300 which was released last year will soon be going out of production. Intel Core 2 Duo does not support virtualization which is very important now since Windows 7 has an inbuilt feature to virtualises incompatible application and to run them under Windows XP right from inside Windows 7

Corsair today announced that it will stop selling DDR3 RAM’s equipped with Elpida ‘Hyper’ memory chips as these chips tend to be unstable under certain conditions. Corsair also said that it will be recalling all the DDR3 RAM which were already sold to the end-user.

OCZ had recently launched the Agility series of SSD’s and today OCZ have launched another new line-up of SSD – the ‘Vertex Turbo’. OCZ Vertex series of SSD’s have been quite a hit and no other SSD manufacturer has been able to match the popularity of the Vertex series of SSD’s from OCZ in terms of Sales. The OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD’s comes equipped with Barefoot memory controller manufactured by Indilinx, a Korean company, which offers a very good read/write performance at a very affordable price.

All the high-end processors of Intel came with Virtualization support but Intel never really equipped there lower end processors with virtualization whereas AMD on the other hand had added virtualization support to most of their processors in their line-up. Virtualization allows a user to run an operating system from within an operating system. Processors that supported Virtualization at hardware level provide better performance when/if a user runs an virtualized Operating system. Most of the users did not care for Virtualization since not many people require it and since the lower end Intel Chips were terrific overclocker, most of the people used to grab Intel’s lower end CPU’s, but all this is going to change with Windows 7.
