Intel claims to have developed a chip-generation Nehalem-EX for use in the latest supercomputer machines. Launched by Maximum PC, Tuesday (17/11/2009), the latest Intel chip is a new family of microprocessors and optimized for use in supercomputer technology.

The chip is equipped with six cores that can work same with clock-speed higher than the version eight core chip. A chip has approximately 256 CPU performance. New Nehalem chip will be available next year. Before that intel was success install quadcore in the laptop for people who need high speed.

Written by the same site, Intel is also rumored to have long term cooperation with NEC to develop a new supercomputer technologies. The two companies even agreed to eliminate the limitations in the performance of supercomputers by increasing the memory speed and scalebility.

NEC is also working to enhance cooperation with Intel, to develop the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), an extension of the x86 architecture.

Vector processor design has the ability to process a variety of tasks simultaneously. Latest Xeon chip has a strong processing scale, in the sense that they can perform the jobs at the same time. AVX Intel will also be introduced in 2011.

The latest generation of Intel’s Atom, which is called ‘Pine Trail’, it came sooner than expected. Intel said the platform for the netbook  atom and nettop was introduced to the public on December 21, 2009.

At the center of Pine Trail platform, Intel processor presents codenamed ‘Pineview’. Unlike previous products, Pineview will integrate the DDR2 memory controller, graphics processor, and video decoding processor by Broadcom into a single package.

Interestingly, these new processors will support x86 and x64 systems. As a result-based netbook or nettop this platform could be planted more than 4GB of RAM. This is a significant improvement compared to the current generation of netbooks as if fixed at 2GB. Read the rest of this entry »

AMD began to sink new variant of the processor is able to support his ability to perfect graphics in some laptops. The presence of this platform to challenge Intel.

Platfrom-coded the name of the Tigris, out with the Turion X2 and Athlon II gives the system a greater performance for graphics images, with less power than its predecessor.

This hardware also includes a number of additional forces and graphical features that improve multimedia performance on a laptop while improving battery life.
