Intel prepares a streaming service

Intel is negotiating with several companies such as Time Warner, NBC Universal and Viacom.What they are negotiating? For Big Blue is talking to those companies to dispose of their TV shows and films for new streaming service being prepared. As might be expected, will be a paid service like that nowadays Netflix and other companies.

Intel has also begun negotiating with News Corp, Walt Disney and CBS to also be able to offer some of its content. David Bank, RBC Capital analyst says the chipmaker will have to pay extra money to have enough content for having come so late to the party.

Instead of offering packages with content from various channels, it is said that Intel plans to offer content from a single channel, ie if we see the setting of NBC and MTV, to give examples, we'll have to hire two packages: one for each channel.

Additional Details are sketchy for now, but if we find out anything more will see it here.

Intel: the PCs of tomorrow will have voice control, and face gestures

Intel wants that in the future all PCs have at least one control system built by gestures.
The computers are beginning to evolve, and the end result is what Intel calls "perceptual computing." Basically, it is to control a computer using voice commands, facial recognition and also through gestures. Starting this year, Intel will begin to incorporate these three types of control computers through their perceptual computing platform.
The point of all this is to make the use of computers becomes more intuitive improving interaction with us. To accomplish its objectives, the company is already working with other firms.
Along with Nuance, Intel is developing a voice control system that supports 9 languages. It will also incorporate a wizard similar to Siri of Apple .
Creative and Intel working on a 3D camera valued at $ 150. This will be able to detect gestures for a distance of between 15cm and 90cm approximately. A prototype of this camera was introduced at CES 2013 and gave very good impressions.
Finally we face recognition, which can bring the security level of our PC to the clouds. Using a combination of voice recognition and facial recognition Intel says we can create an unbreakable password. 3D Face recognition is highly accurate and can even detect the movements of the muscles of the face, so I can not use photos or videos of the face of the person to try to enter.
The potential for perceptual computing is really great. These are the things we have seen almost all science fiction movies over the past two decades. Backed by a large computer company such as Intel's technology is bound to have a great development.

Intel laptop shows us that we will use next year

What will the ultrabooks in a year? And yes, I mean the beginning of 2014. For Intel knows how and has allowed a look at the models in their first hours at CES.
The new laptop , which carries the code name North Cape, is not a real product yet, but Intel created a team to demonstrate its new generation of Intel Core processors, the Haswell, corresponding to the fourth generation. These CPUs will be released around mid-2013.
The laptop shown is intended to be very similar to model future, even in size and weight. Most striking is that the screen is 13.3 inch long. Exactly resized. How is it possible? Because it is a convertible laptop (tablet hybrid) whose screen is scaled to a size of 11 inches with only pressing a button.
One of the main advantages of Intel's laptop shows us that we will use next year against Ivy Bridge models is an extended battery life that will be very noticeable. The notebook presented, as said, would have a total duration of about 13 hours since it incorporates batteries on the screen and on the keyboard.
We hope that in the coming days will give more insight into the technology of the North Cape.

Samsung will soon launch the first smartphone OS Tizen

According to new reports, Samsung will be presented the first smartphone operating system Tizen early 2013. Tizen is an open source OS based on Linux and the company is developing with NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone, Intel and other firms in the industry the technology . As mentioned above, we can see in a smartphone as of this month and will also launch soon, but no exact dates yet.
Tizen is a scalable operating system that can run on all kinds of devices including smartphones, tablets, computers desktop, smart TVs, etc. Something very important about it is that it will also be able to run Android applications through the Application Compatibility Layer of Open Mobile. Compared to Android, Tizen is a more open OS yet, mainly due to the monitoring by Google on Android.
In some cases it has been referred to a variant of the Galaxy S III Tizen bear, but nothing is confirmed yet. We will have to wait a little longer to find out.

Apple might start using ARM processors rather than Intel in Macs

It has been more than seven years since Apple adopted Intel processors for use on their Macs, but this relationship may come to an end. According to rumors emerged yesterday morning, Apple is seriously considering starting to use ARM processors in their computers and laptops .
Sources close to the company say that several of the engineers are confident that the maker of chips that use the iPad, iPod and iPhone will also begin to create lines processors for Mac
But this is not just a change from one provider to another. It also means a complete change at the architectural level. One of the great benefits of the Intel x86 architecture is that Mac users can install Windows on another partition using Boot Camp. It may still be possible by installing Windows RT (known as Windows 8 for ARM), but application compatibility OS would not be the same.
However, this change is not imminent, and it seems that is just beginning to be considered to take place within a couple of years.

Intel wants to insert a 48-core processor for your phone in 10 years

Currently, quad-core processors are the best offers us the technology to integrate our smartphones, but Intel already has an eye on the future: the company expects that in 10 years the mobile processors can have up to 48 cores all working in parallel, allowing us to run applications and functions that would be unimaginable today.
Intel, in fact, already has a 48-core processor, and is a prototype which has been working since 2009. It seems that each core of this processor integrates a low-power Atom processor running at 1.6GHz, which gives us, theoretically, the equivalent of a 75GHz processor, and the most complex part comes when creating operating systems and applications need all that power. Even today, and talking at the level of the computers in the market is very difficult to find something that requires more than 6 cores running at once.
What we know is that Intel hopes that in 5-10 years these processors are within our phones and tablets. But what is also important is that it is expected that by then they find a way to get all the juice to power these processors offer us.
For technology, 10 years is plenty of time and can get to make amazing progress.

The best gaming processor 2011

 

It is well known that experiences each one has a preference for a processor or another.

But why?

Surely this pross will say that I had no problems, or that if I ran this or that game and it does not .. etc etc ..

Then today I come to bring a bit of info from each and a bit of comparison ...

Note: This post is approximate. I do not create controversies ... and if you come here for those chances to nail red arrow .. Think about it twice ..

And as some say, "No one is born knowing" .. this would work for anyone ..."The best gaming processor 2011"

The processor market is shared, first and foremost, between two manufacturers. The first is nothing more and nothing less than Intel, a U.S. company that invented the microprocessor in the early '70s. The other without diminishing reputation is AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), another U.S. company with a long history that tube the prestige of being the first to launch a 1 GHz microprocessor and also, chips of 64 nits for home users. A third is the Taiwanese manufacturer VIA. This company makes chips compatible with the socket of the old Pentium III (socket 370), but these products are very particular in South America, and currently are not competitive as far as performance is concerned, but are distinguished by having a very low power consumption and low temperature operation.

The best gaming processor 2011 In the lower price range you can find processors that have been specially designed to provide an affordable option, low cost, compared to more expensive mics. These are: Intel celeron: it is derived from the architecture of the Pentium 4, which come with less cache and less velocidad.Hay two models of Celeron socket 478 compatible: the older (available up to 2.8 GHz) using a 400 MHz bus and 128 KB cache, and its performance leaves something to be desired. The most recent use Celeron D uses a 533 MHz bus and 256 KB of cache, which markedly improved its performance compared to previous verions.

The last to come Celeron socket 775 and supports 64-bit, making them more desirable than the others and suitable for multiple uses. AMD Sempron (Socket A) processors that can be used with older motherboards and Socket A. The Sempron model number is compared to the Celeron. Thus, the performance of a Sempron 2400 + would equivañlente approximately a 2.4 Celeron GHz.Debido to micro and mothers Socket A and are ceasing to be manufactured and performance have been overcome, we will not recommend building a PC new to this platform, unless that price is a gift from God. AMD Sempron (Socket 754): These are variants of the Athlon Sempron 64 with less cache. The latest versions support 64-bit instructions and SSE3 (eye, because the market is still encuetran Semprons of only 32 bits). For its speed and price are a great choice for gamers without much budget (without a morlaco in his pocket, he).

These flagship processors micros offer more performance and conform to the demands of gamers and professionals who need a lot of power calculation. Intel Pentium 4: This is the flagship of Intel and is available in a wide range of models that differ by the speed of operation, from 2.26 GHz to 3.5 GHz over formats are Socket 478 Socket 775 and . The faster and more recent models are based on the core "Prescott", which incorporates 1 MB of cache and multimedia instruction SSE3.Para the power-hungry, Intel has succulent dishes: line 600 of the Pentium 4 supports 64-bit software, and line 800 provides dual-core processors, which combine two processing cores on a single core, Quad core too, only instead of two cores esots have 4, and soon we will all eight cores. Intel Xeon: are variants of the Pentium 4 with more cache and guaranteed to run in parallel multiprocessing server roles and work stations. AMD Athlon 64: the processor 32/64 bit comes in two formats, which are Socket 754 and Socket 939.

The latter integrates a memory controller Dual channel (dual channel). The model names indicate their level of performance. For example, Athlon 64 3200 + would be equivalent to a Pentium 4 3.2-GHz.La version of the Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core is espcially suited to multitasking funcoines where they perform simultaneous load. For example, allows the compression of video while running a game. All this without affecting the speed of the various operations. AMD Athlon 64 FX is the higher performance variant of AMD. It is available in both Socket 939 or 940, and is characterized by the large size of the cache and faster. Opteron: This 64-bit processor fits into the socket 940 and requires the use of ECC memory. Sold for servers and workstations. It can operate in parallel processing configurations (multiple processors in a single mother).

The best gaming processor 2011 in PC ?

For those who want a single PC, and that its function is to surf the Internet, burn CDs or DVDs, send emails, listen to music or watch a video, the most recommended would be for the line AMD Sempron models, and INTEL , the CELERON D.

These processors correspond to the economic line of their respective manufacturers, and has a very good performance for home jobs.

For the more demanding (GAMES)

Here and recommend spending a higher performance microprocessors, such as the AMD Athlon, or Intel HT, which means the software can execute two instructions simultaneously.

These processors usually have a higher price than the Sempron AMD or INTEL CELERON.

And if not enough ...

... We have the new dual-core microprocessors. These processors have the advantage of having built two microprocessors in one, ie for example: INTEL PENTIUM D 840, with dual processors of 3.2 GHz (gigahertz), each, and a cache of 1 MB for each , or the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 +.

For more power, there are currently microprocessor with four or eight cores, but are expensive.

Most important to note that these comparisons may not be sufficient, is that the line AMD has a structure for the vector design, allowing you to have the highest yields in multimedia, graphic design and obviously in games, line while Intel is best for those who need to perform mathematical processes, or editing and compiling programs.
Both processors fulfill all functions well, but if we want the best performance, Let us note to the model we know that was designed specifically for that function.

The best gaming processor 2011 AMD or Intel ?

the brand best known and most places in the TV commercial is NOT always the BEST OPTION. Intel is the brand better known and better respected by consumers and rightly so because it has the best processor of the moment.

The Intel Core i7 3.47GHz 990X of the processor is considered the best performance over all others. For those who do not know much about it I tell you that Intel has already taken several Core i7, what differentiates one from another is the given clock speed in GHz (the bigger the number the better).

But AMD (the direct rival of Intel) is not far behind as it defends Phenom II processors. Q Like Intel, AMD also has several Phenom II processors. To these the difference not only the clock speed but also the number of cores. Not the same a Phenom II X4 a X6. The X4 means it has 4 cores, the X6 has 6 cores. The best processor for the moment, AMD is the Phenom II X6 1100T 3.4GHz Black Edition which is cheaper in cost compared to an Intel i7 in the same efficiency.

Both Intel i7 as AMD Phenom II X6 6-core processors are physical and logical 6, the Intel Core i7 990X with 32-nm manufacturing and Phenom II X6 1100T with 45 nm manufacturing

Here is a ranking of the The best gaming processor 2011 in the market and its price in U.S. dollars:

 

 

 

  

Note: Prices change constantly
It should be noted that this ranking did not invent what I or anyone else, this ranking is made using thousands of samples using different performance tests.

Well ... You see the best of Intel surpasses the best of AMD. However if we do a cost / benefit ratio we get:

 

 

 

 

In the graph above we can realize that AMD processors give us a better cost benefit. With a little thought and deducting the graphs we can conclude that if we want a very good processor for a low cost, then we can choose to buy an AMD. Now if what you want is the best processor and the budget does not bother you your choice most recommended is an Intel i7.

Hope you like this post has been helpful, I will try to update it constantly with new developments and the emerging questions and comments.

Ultrabooks could recharge your smartphone over the air in 2013

 

The Palm Pre phone and showed the world how great may be the wireless charges, and did so in 2009. Many of today's smartphones can be recharged wirelessly, except for some models, but what really draws attention to this type of load is that it is made ​​by ultrabook, and the idea has been Intel .
It seems that Intel could begin to develop its own technology for wireless charging smartphones by ultrabooks, which undoubtedly sounds great, but otherwise there may be some drawbacks in this regard. First of all, it is likely that the smartphone needs to be Intel architecture, and currently the only mobile phone developed by Intel is the San Diego, that truth is not bad, but the idea can not convince companies also manufacture laptops and smartphones with ARM processors, such as Lenovo and Asus.
Another reason why we may not see this come to light, is due to the high cost of development. Companies like Sharp and Samsung are already working on their projects, but the expenses are not allowed to move forward apace.
If the rumors come true, Intel would be introduced this new charging technology in mid-2013.

Jolla resumes where it left Meego Nokia

The operating system Meego continues its development through Jolla, a company founded by former employees of Nokia who worked on the N9. This new company, also based in Finland, could launch its first devices this year.

Nokia and Intel announced MeeGo at Mobile World Congress 2010, with the intention of creating a Linux-based operating system that worked in 'tablets', laptops and smartphones. The goal was to compete with Android. However, a year after Finland decided to abandon the project and focus on Windows Phone as a platform for their devices.

As a result, the N9 and N950 has been stalled without updates and with a low range of applications available on the team who worked Meegan.

However, despite the setbacks, Meego is not dead. Engineers who worked in the operating system have founded Jolla. As stated by the executive director of La Jolla, Jussi Hurmola: "Nokia created something wonderful, the best product for smartphones market, and we believe it deserves continued." They also claim the expertise of engineers better able to Meegan and Linux for this project.

The brand has announced the creation of its own line of smartphones that will bring the base of Meegan, but have a new interface. They promise a range of high quality smartphones follow in the footsteps of the N9 and expect the faithful support of this operating system developers.

According to the company said on Twitter: "La Jolla-based smartphones will have a bright new future." Reach the market later this year.

In front of Jussi stands Hurmola Jolla, ultimate responsibility of Meegan. Still have offered more evidence on the characteristics of the new smartphones or on its market price.

Nokia is another setback after only a few days ago, the developer Sotiris Makrygiannis Meego chief, announced his resignation along with a group of designers and engineers to undertake new projects independently. Finland has so far avoided comment on the development of La Jolla.
