Microsoft is denied in
Intel Denies
Undoubtedly everyone interested in the upcoming Windows 8 look forward to future Windows Developer Conference, which will take place in September this year. Such a conference creates expectations since it will be the official space in which Microsoft may confirm, deny and confirm news that today exist only under the curious secret mode, the transmission of information via filtration, and the image of the snowball.
This way it circulates information on the latest Microsoft operating system has led to several conflicts, thus giving rise to the question of the status of truth of the statements that are filtered out.
Clearly this can be seen with the latest news that Intel has released people, whose resonances we have found news even in this blog. As pointed out, Intel had spread the idea that the upcoming Windows 8 would be incompatible with applications created in other versions of Windows on ARM systems.
Immediately after giving birth to such a "bomb" information from Microsoft has come out to refute such statements.
More precisely who he was Sinofsky Steven face claiming that such information provided by the Intel partner were "inaccurate and misleading."
Not that said they were absolutely false.
But try to put some cold cloths to such bad news does not fall on the users of Microsoft.

Paradoxical Restrictions Windows 8
Windows 8
Although since Microsoft is not confirming any of the rumors circulating that come on the web in recent months, one would pay attention as a strategy of information to members who can not hold long news online. As have adopted the strategy of surprise to create greater acceptance by users in their expectation, everything said here will always be taken as conjecture.
Now it has released a novelty on the next Windows 8. That being said this new version no longer count on the "compatibility mode" necessary for users to make use of applications created in previous versions of Windows. This removal of the "backward compatibility" should be judged on what version of Windows 8're talking about: ARM or PCs
In the first case, which is that of the tablets, this deletion is not detrimental to users. Indeed, the tablets which will go towards the latter Windows 8 will be those called "slate" (no keyboard). Here the old applications, which the new restrictions would not work again, do not usually have the best performance. They were designed for computers with mouse and keyboard, so that its translation into ARM equimos always generates conflicts.
In the second case, things are not so simple. Since users actually find it very useful applications using "old". Thus, although the positive reading is said that this restriction will force developers to increase productivity exponentially, is limited to PC users illegitimately.
Intel Sandy Bridge microarchitecture / Vision Zambezi (AMD Bulldozer)
The next January 5, 2011 the Kings have a successor to Intel Nehalem / Westmere, Sandy Bridge models-i5-i7 corei3 and PentiumG.
2100T models and models i3 i5 to 32 nm 2390T/2500T all new LGA1155 socket and the first two 2-cores and the latter as quadcore consumption does not exceed 35/45 watts (180nm Pentium III consumes 30W).
The architectural improvements come on the side: all with better integrated graphics-HD200 HD100 nearly 1GHz in the same package (and therefore nothing in the new IGP chipsets H67 and P67), the Z68 chipset unlock and overclock allowing all models beyond Turbo Boost 2.0, the oscillation frequencies ranging from 2.5 to 3.8 GHz and speaks to the 5.1 GHz OC no liquid nitrogen or a little cooler than conventional (octacore models are now confined to Xeon servers) AVX instructions to run OpenCL GPGPU, separate unit for transcoding HD video formats, improving performance by 20% compared to the previous layer i 1xxx core, it only remains for any sign of significant price low because even today half of sales for LGA 775 Intel core2 remains.
AMD delayed until next summer its Vision to 32 nm (that is distributed before its Fusion APU), the Bulldozer will support HT 3.1 ... ..
continue in 2011 if readers they prefer.
Of the Westmere family of III
Intel Gulftown X6 is appearing in the market for motherboards with LGA 1366 socket and there are core i7 as the 980X, it does so without any integrated GPU with HyperThreading trite that makes 12 threads where there are only 6 strands of code to spread the workload from 6 real cores and 6 virtual cores. Of superior performance compared to the Phenom II X6 and although both use similar solutions to overclock type Turbo Boost processing data and instructions in a recortadísimo time even outperform Xeon Nehalem. Rather than the Gulftown processors are home to dedicated servers for work, scores of virtual machines or huge databases while they spend a nucleus to signal processing for web streaming.
Of the Westmere family II
He now Lynnfield LGA 1156 Core i7 QuickPath Interconnect without paying much or more than a 45nm Bloomfield (Nehalem) and does so with a lower TDP thanks to its 32nm transistors Why not bet entirely by Intel QPI LGA 1366 and for all 2010 models? Perhaps the X58 chipset was too expensive for a core i3, perhaps too readily dismissed QPI DDR II or became obsolete for the next DDR IV. Yet prices are still too high, it has not been that Intel was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to be rescued by capital from the Arabian peninsula.
Of the Westmere family of I
Intel Clarkdale X2 (Core i3-i5) is called, the inventors of the microcontroller have done before AMD, have been combined into a single die DualCore CPU and GPU in an advanced state of "technicatura" to 32nm. Equate performance Phenom II X4. They do not handle triple channel memory (dual channel only) and fit into a socket LGA 1156. Models and chipsets: Core i5 650, 660 and 670 at frequencies of 3.2, 3.33 and 3.46 GHz, Core i3 all 5xx, Chipset Q57, H55, H57 and P55 without graphics processing and video HD within himself, not only commanding the northbridge and PCIe interface from the micro to the DVI and VGA mother, now those are cooler integrated or thermally efficient.
The European Commission imposed a fine Intel historical
Commissioner for competition, Neelie Kroes, has announced a fine of 1.06 billion euros for Intel, accused of anti-competitive practices. More specifically is charged with discounts and incentive payments to manufacturers that use Intel processors only. Even according to the chain owns Media Saturn Holding Mediamark. Intel has already said it will appeal the ruling.

Mac OS 10 Leopard upgrade will have a more
Since the last version published on December 15 all expect Snow Leopard which is currently in build 10A261, but well before the summer it will move to OS X 10.5.7, security updates and minor synchronization with mobile devices so require. The Snow Leopard will come later with maximum use of Intel multicore and GPU as ATI Radeon HD 4850 that border the stream-teraflop with their processors.
Intel debuts Core i7
"Intel Corporation has launched the most advanced desktop processor of all time, the Intel ® Core ™ i7. The Core i7 is the first member of a new family of processors: Nehalem, which have the most sophisticated design technologies ever developed b-firing performance on demand and maximize data processing. The Core i7 processor speeds video editing, immersive games and other popular Internet and computer users by about 40 percent without increasing power consumption. Widely heralded by the computing industry as a technical marvel, the Intel ® Core ™ i7 processor holds a new world record of 117 points, according to SPECint_base_rate2006 * debenchmark test that measures the performance of a processor. This is the first time in history that a single processor gets a higher score of 100 points. "
