HTC has published a list of devices that will update Ice Cream Sandwich

The Taiwanese company HTC has confirmed the imminent update smartphone operating system, the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich . As expected, the new thing for the most part will receive a high-end devices, after the release of the model presented by Sensation.

The list of lucky winners were: HTC Vivid, Sensation, Sensation XL, Sensation XE, Rezound, EVO 3D, EVO Design 4G and Amaze 4G. As for the models Incredible S, Desire S and Rhyme is no information.

We know how much are you waiting for update Ice Cream Sandwich, thus announces the first applicants for the latest version of the operating system Android: confirm that the update will receive the new HTC Vivid. Moreover, thanks to close cooperation with telecom operators in early 2012 Ice Cream Sandwich appears in the models HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G. We will continue to improve our portfolio, so stay tuned.

GPUs with 28nm technology can achieve 45% higher clock frequencies

The rumors about AMD and Nvidia upcoming graphics architectures continue to flow. It has more recently been talk of a near doubling in computing power of AMD's new chips, which according to new data can largely be traced to the GPU frequencies well above 1 GHz.

We have previously taken a closer look at the new 28nm processes such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will introduce the next six months and what it seems, the semiconductor manufacturer customers very satisfied. TSMC already has more customers for 28nm-production than the company managed to scrape together for several years with their current 40nm technology.

According to information at Web Daily Tech, the new 28-nanometer technology and the fact that TSMC also implemented the High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) in its two more powerful 28nm processes allows us to expect large-dimensioned frequencies.

With TSMC's 28HP technology is expected to AMD and Nvidia to push clock frequencies of its graphics chips by 45% without energy consumption per transistor increases as compared to today's 40nm technology. Could the graphics card manufacturers choose to exploit this surplus to turn up the clock frequencies, we could see the video card with well over 1 GHz GPU frequencies directly from the store shelves.

It is likely that AMD and Nvidia graphics cards in several series also make sure to use the new manufacturing technology, less energy to create more effective graphics solutions. Among other things, we should be able to see even relatively powerful graphics card completely passively cooled, a trend already seen in recent years.

In addition to a huge room for inflated clock speeds, AMD and Nvidia to roll out optimized graphics architectures which include AMD invests in a major refurbishment with GCN architecture (Graphics Core Next). More about this graphics card architecture can be read here .

Unfortunately it will probably be very short on 28nm graphics card in 2011. The best time to launch its first AMD solutions before the new year, but probably we will wait for the major launch until next year, something at least Nvidia is set to.
