Motorola RAZR - the thinnest yet staying power in the battery test

Motorola RAZR is currently undergoing a major duel in the test lab and during last night it was time for the first real battery tests. Despite a super-slim profile at low as 7.1 mm was the first RAZR phone in our tests to get around 10 hours of video.

Motorola has focused hard on the physical design of the RAZR and to reach its record-thin profile, the manufacturer has used the material Kevlar and had to lock the battery into the phone body. With a rather large and high resolution screen of 4.3 inches and a dual core processor at 1.2 GHz, we were a little worried that the energy would run away, something that could become a problem without being able to replace the battery.

But Motorola managed to push a battery of 1780 mAh which is fully competitive in the class, which together with the 4.3-inch display with Super AMOLED Advanced panel provides most impressive battery life at light loads.

Our video playback test, we have previously seen how AMOLED technology with its penchant for dark images done very well and with a more energy efficient - albeit less sharp - PenTile matrix in Super AMOLED Advanced makes it even clearer that the display panel is now the key to long battery life.

Motorola RAZR is the first Android smartphone we've tested where we can play a video in over 10 hours before the battery runs out of power. An impressive feat considering the phone's extremely slim profile and overall powerful hardware.

How Motorola RAZR stands up in general, we ask to come back with, but certainly we can add one of our fears aside. Battery life of the RAZR looks very promising and we have not begun to talk about the phone's Smart Actions to improve this further in everyday use.

Stay tuned for a complete review of the Motorola RAZR which we peering closely at everything from the new screen into its slim form.

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 .
