IBM And Intel Initiative Accelerates Virtualization On Multi-Processor Servers

no@spam.com (IBM Press Release) — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 00:00:00 EST

IBM and Intel Corporation have joined in an initiative aimed at improving how IT managers select, deploy and measure virtualized server solutions for enterprise data centers. Virtualization technology, such as VMware Infrastructure, on Intel-based servers is becoming widely used in production environments and is increasing capturing mid-tier application workloads.

“As mid-sized and large enterprise IT organizations strive to cash in on the cost savings of data center consolidation through server virtualization, hosting applications on larger, more expandable multi-processor servers delivers the best return on investment,” said Jim Northington, vice president, System x, IBM. “Nevertheless, many organizations need the tools to help them select the server platform that works best in their unique environments.”

SAN FRANCISCO - A team of scientists has announced a breakthrough in computer memory technology that heralded more sophisticated and reliable MP3 players, digital cameras and other devices.

Scientists from IBM, Macronix and Qimonda said they developed a material that made "phase-change" memory 500 to 1,000 times faster than the commonly-used "flash" memory, while using half as much power.

Apple MacBook 13-inch White (Core 2 Duo)

no@spam.com (PC World Magazine) — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:00:00 EST

Until now, I was convinced that a new Core 2 Duo-equipped Apple MacBook couldn't possibly come out this year. After all, the Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo) had already been announced, in what I believed was an effort to create more separation from the MacBooks. So much for that theory. One week after the MacBook Pro announcement, Apple launched the MacBook 13-inch (Core 2 Duo) ($1,174 direct as tested), thereby eliminating any differentiation between the two models. Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and move on, I guess. Despite back-to-back announcements, the move is considered perfectly timed for the holiday shopping season, and with Apple's best-selling laptop by its side, a strong fourth quarter is sure to come.

Intel chip research focuses on memory cells

no@spam.com (CNET News.com) — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:00:00 EST

Intel is working on a transistor design that could help the company's designers pack more memory onto its processors.

Company researchers plan to present a paper this week at the International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco outlining its work on "floating-body cell" transistors, said Mike Mayberry, director of components research with Intel's technology and manufacturing group. Simply put, the floating body cells could allow Intel to build processors with larger amounts of on-chip memory to boost performance, he said.

AMD on track for shift to 45-nano manufacturing

no@spam.com (CNET News.com) — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:00:00 EST

One of the big questions in the chip industry today is whether Advanced Micro Devices can make the hop to 45-nanometer manufacturing in 18 months, as the company has promised. One prominent analyst says that, so far, the chances look good.

"It's definitely doable," writes Dan Hutcheson, CEO of VLSI Research.
