Atom was an important announcement from Intel, back in March. The possibility of a chip, based on the same architecture as the desktop computers could have meant a new era in cross platform applications altogether. When announced, Atom was thought of powering the mobile internet devices (MID). The chips can however also be used in [...]

The big news today is that Intel and Yahoo have partnered to launch a new interactive TV channel. I went WoW after reading the news. I have always believed that TV, as a consumer device has a lot more potential. Whenever I hear companies (or people) doing some innovative stuff for TV, I am hopeful [...]

Intel is now eying the growing market of Web 2.0 companies over the World Wide Web with new start ups coming up every single day. Most of the web-start ups are resource hungry websites that process vast amount of data and have large number of users. These companies need a strong and powerful infrastructure to back the activity that goes on through the sites. Intel is apparently trying to cash in on this factor and is aiming to power the systems that run these sites.

The Intel research blog has always been an excellent source of information and news about what technology one expects to see a few years down the line and what ‘kind’ of processors would power the computers of the future.Today, I use a Core 2 Duo CPU which is almost 20 times faster than that. Coming from an engineering background, I have played with the 8085 and 8086 processors that are considered the great grand fathers of current processors.

Intel has unveiled, what it terms as low-cost, high-volume chips, named Atom. Intel’s chips have always been competing on performance, and, in a more notorious past, on frequency. So, AMD may have won the 1-GHz race, but Intel slogged hard enough to stay ahead in all the later products. Churning out chips, each one faster, [...]

The chips will also be [...]

The recently concluded web 2.0 expo held in San francisco had many announcements but some were far more noteworthy than the others. The most noteworthy was one by  Web audience measurement firm Hitwise. Hitwise stated that only 0.16 percent of Youtube’s (the video sharing giant wich was bought over by google) traffic is uploading videos [...]

I have always been a huge fan of parellel (read fast) computing, so much so that I even presented a paper on DNA computing while at uni (while DNA computing warrants a post in itself, lets just keep that for later!). And when I saw this latest piece of information, I just had to blog about it. Read On …
