Shuttle’s Motherboard Standard For Notebooks
Posted by admin in mother boards on December 24, 2009
Shuttle announced another two standards called SPA (Shuttle PCB Assembly) and Micro SPA–special because they are meant for notebooks. The difference between the two is just size. SPA is meant for notebooks 13.3 inches and above, while Micro SPA is intended for smaller ones down to 10.1 inches. But don’t think that you will be able to upgrade your notebooks in the near future like you do your desktops–this is mainly for OEMs to simplify the notebook production process.
Intel’s 48-core chip
Posted by admin in computers, mother boards on December 3, 2009
The multicore madness continues. And if Intel has its way, computers in the future could possibly mimic human behavior, bringing the bits and bytes from virtual reality into the physical world. When that happens, you simply need to think to process computer commands, bringing laziness to epic levels. You could also try on new clothes or learn how to dance without even stepping away from the PC monitor. There’s a whole lot of work going on behind the scenes for the future to happen and Intel thinks its 48-core multiprocessor is the answer. According to the chipmaker, the 48 processing cores are fully programmable and, when operating at peak performance, consumes 125 watts of energy equivalent to switching on two household light bulbs. There’s even a fancy name for this. The Intel laboratory folks call it a single-chip cloud computer, citing its resemblance to massive data centers powering the “cloud”, save that everything is now on a chip the size of a postage stamp.
Epson’s New 4K Resolution with 3LCD Technology
Posted by admin in HD, computers, mother boards on November 18, 2009
Epson has just announced the world’s first high-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD panel for 3LCD projectors which boasts 4,096 x 2,160 (4K) pixels. Newly developed in response to future market demands, the 4K panel offers approximately four times better resolution than a full-HD equivalent, while featuring Epson’s proprietary C2 Fine technology to deliver smoother picture quality and enhanced contrast performance. A prototype projector based on this solution will be showcased at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition taking place at Chiba, Japan, from November 18 to 20.
This new product will compete head on with other 4K offerings. These include Sony’s SXRD-based CineAlta range and the upcoming Texas Instruments’ DLP alternatives designed for the digital cinema industry. We’re expecting more commercially-oriented applications for these ultra-high resolution projection systems initially, though it’s just a matter of time before they trickle down to the consumer space. Till then, full-HD will still be the predominant format for the home theater beamers.
