Comments Off on Software Issues Plague ARM Servers

PC World is reporting software issues are hurting the ARM Processors and may inhibit it from being a serious contender to x86 Processors.  Dell Computer started testing some of the processors in low-end servers to appease some of their larger clients.  It appears that these companies were interested in the low power and density in data centers.

Dell’s General Manager of Server Platforms stated “he had major concerns about the weak software ecosystem surrounding ARM. He said that there are lots of advantages from the architecture even if it means  porting your code over to that new instruction set and maintaining two different software stacks. But he said that there are time and cost issues associated with porting software from x86 to ARM.”  Read More….

Comments Off on Intel B3 Sandy Bridge On Sales

Intel had a horrible start in 2011 when they released the first Sandy Bridge Motherboards that had a faulty SATA bug.  Nevertheless, it appears as if the first P67 motherboards with the B3-stepping silicon fix have finally hit the market.

Other Intel OEMs have also listed a number of B3-stepping boards, but are not available to consumers. The boards are probably ready, but they are stuck in a shipping container somewhere on the high seas and if Somali pirates don’t have their way the boards should be in Europe soon. Read More…

Comments Off on Intel’s B3 Sandy Bridge To Ship Today

Intel has stated that they intend to start shipping their B3 stepping 6-Series chipset chips by February 14th (today). If you missed the headlines on this fiasco, I am speaking in reference to Intel’s chipset that is plagued by the now quite famous SATA 3Gbps bug.

Intel is still sticking to its original announcement that it will ship these products by the end of February. The new stepping has several updates including the change of revision ID from 04h to 05h, BIOS update to 1.1.4 and minor metal layer change improving lifetime wear and tear with no changes to functionality or design specifications (the one that fixes SATA 3.0Gbps issue).  Read more…

Comments Off on Intel Core i5 2400 Appears To Be A Beast in Test

Intel released some benchmarks results of its Core i5 2400, one of the new Sandy Bridge processors with 6MB of cache 3.1GHz core clock and four cores and four threads. The Core i5 2400 also comes with a Turbo feature and can run at much higher clock-speed than the 3.1GHz that is advertised.  Keep in mind this depends on Turbo 2 conditions and current thermal environment.

In the benchmark observation Intel decided to compare current Core i5 650 3.2GHz core with 4MB of cache and two cores and four threads including Turbo to a new Sandy Bridge part. Read more….

Comments Off on Intel MeeGO Tablets Expected In June

Intel announced that it intends to launch tablets based on the tablet version of MeeGo 1.2 in June 2011.

It is understood that most of them will launch final hardware in Q3 2011. The tablet preview program has already started and some developers are submitting applications as we speak. Intel’s App Up center for tablet should also be ready in Q3 2011.

With the big launch slated for Q3 2011 we are sure that Intel can have some designs ready for a hardware launch rather than a paper event. Intel’s tablet strategy also relies on Windows 7 as well as on Gingerbread and Honeycomb, whatever can help the golden goal of selling more Atoms. ……Read more
