Intel introduced the latest powerful processor Xeon E5

Intel chose the SC11 conference as a platform for pre-release of a new generation of chips Xeon E5, which are designed for workstations and servers. Immediately after the presentation of the processor chips led the top ten running on supercomputers (according to Top 500), ahead of its competitors in performance more than doubled. In addition, the chip will be the first of a series of Xeon, equipped with a standard serial bus support for PCI Express 3.0, which doubles the throughput compared to the previous version (also PCI Express 3.0 has a high bandwidth when connecting to the Internet, and clusters of computers to local peripherals such as video cards).

Although the chips are already used to create a supercomputer, but, as stated by Intel, referring to the time required for the establishment of small workstations and servers, widespread Xeon E5 will be received in the first half of 2012. Also at the conference was represented by trial version of the processor Knights Corner, which may have more than 50 cores and provide record levels - more than one teraflop. Intel said that the finished version of the chip will be produced on 22 nm technology. While we do not know where to begin deliveries of Knights Corner, however, judging by the use of 22nm technology, large-scale output can be assigned to the year 2012.

So far, on a Mac Pro from Apple, as well as on workstations based on Xeon (which are mainly used in the corporate sector and in professional fields that require large computing power), in some cases used chips that did not get updated in 2010. Partly because of this kind of "stupor" from Intel, there were rumors about the production end Mac Pro and switch Apple on home PCs, such as the iMac .

Nokia will release a more Powerful Windows Smartphone Lumia 900 and a tablet on Windows 8

The head of the French branch of Nokia Amsel Paul in an interview with French newspaper LesEchos either accidentally let it slip, or has committed a planned leak, but in any case, we now know two things: 1) Nokia is preparing a more powerful Windows-smartphone, and this so pretty good Lumia 800, 2) in the summer of next year will be released tablet on Windows 8 .

Amsel compared Lumia 800 BMW 5-series: "This is the equivalent BMW 5 Series, and soon we will have a full range, including the Series 7 and 3."

If the BMW 5 - Lumia is 800, BMW 3 - Lumia 710, a BMW 7 is a powerful, truly the flagship unit. Perhaps they will Lumia 900, also known as Ace, which so far known only by hearsay. According to them, it will have a 4.3-inch AMOLED, 1,4-GHz single-core processor, 8-megapixel rear camera, 16 / 32 GB of flash memory. He is expected in the first quarter of next year.

Amsel also confirmed that in June of next year, Nokia will release a tablet on Windows 8. Nokia said earlier about Tablet plans very carefully and without any kind were promised. Called the term is curious for another reason: many are waiting for Windows 8 in the autumn. Perhaps, Nokia has inside information about the new OS from Microsoft will be available sooner than people think.
