AMD and Seagate demo 6Gbps Serial ATA

Today AMD and Seagate are teaming up to demonstrate the next-generation Serial ATA specification. Dubbed SATA 6Gbps, the new spec will offer twice the disk-to-host bandwidth of the existing 3Gbps Serial ATA standard. Although the fastest Serial ATA hard drives on the market have a rough time maintaining transfer rates higher than about 110MB/s, they can typically push smaller burst transfers from their caches at over 250MB/s. Those caches are growing, with the latest desktop models packing 32MB memory chips. And let's not forget solid-state drives like Intel's X25-E Extreme, which has no problem sustaining over 200MB/s for reads and writes.

iWork '09: No Serial Required

iWork '09, released roughly two weeks ago, has been reported in an Apple support document to not require a serial number for activation unlike its preceder, iWork '08. Activating downloaded trial versions still do require a serial that can be purchased for $79.

This feature however is not unique to iWork, iLife and OS X have never required activation in the past.

iWork '09 and iLife '09 were announced on January 6th and are currently available for purchase and pre-order on Apple.com. iWork.com, also announced at MacWorld, is currently available as a free public beta accessible within the iWork applications.

Nvidia "Patches" Serial ATA Issue For the Third Time

Nvidia Corp., a leading chipset developer, and EVGA, a supplier of graphics cards and mainboards, have released more BIOS versions that should correct the already well-known issues with Serial ATA storage devices and mainboards powered by Nvidia's latest core-logic. Some EVGA customers using the EVGA nForce 680i SLI motherboard have reported experiencing disconnect or write error issues with Serial ATA disk drives. To address this, we have worked with Nvidia to release a BIOS update for this motherboard that eliminates this bug," said Joe Darwin, a spokesman of EVGA.

The new BIOS version P23 beta 2 that was available through EVGA forums and the final BIOS version P23 are supposed to correct the Serial ATA problems that users were experiencing with mainboards featuring Nvidia's latest nForce 680i core-logic set. The previous release - BIOS version P23 beta 1 - did not correct issues with Serial ATA storage devices for all end users.

Intel Readies New Triple-Channel Memory Controller for Nehalem Chips

Intel's code-named Nehalem processors have been discussed for nearly five years now, but Intel was tight-lipped enough in order not to disclose details of the new micro-architecture itself as well as implementation peculiarities. Nevertheless, recently Intel started to inform its partners about the future platforms, which means that at least some peculiarities of the new chips have come to light.

It is known that Nehalem as well as Westmere central processing units (CPUs) will use a new platform architecture and while the company does not directly state it, the new platform will hardly use processor system busses, but rather will feature point-to-point serial bus (which is currently referred to as Common Serial Bus or CSI) similar to Hyper-Transport or PCI Express.

The new CPUs due in late 2008 will feature so-called dynamically scalable architecture, which means that Intel will be able to tailor its processor designs according to needs of various market segments. ..

Seagate shows off 6Gbps SATA3 hard drive transfer speed

Partnering up with AMD, on Monday Seagate announced the latest Serial ATA specification: SATA3. The new specification offers hard drive transfer speeds of up to 6Gbps, which is around 600MBps. This new specification was developed by the Serial ATA International Organization, in order to provide a hefty upgrade from today's SATA2 specification. So just how much of an upgrade is it? Your average SATA2 drive today can offer hard drive transfer speeds of up to 3Gbps, which is roughly 300MBps, so in theory SATA3 will be twice as fast. As CNET notes, it's important to know that software and hardware holds back these speeds, so in reality they're about 100MBps less than they could be.

Intel throws 65nm at embedded NOR Flash

Intel announced today it will extend its NOR Flash memory products for embedded spaces down to the 65nm process node. The move will allow more flash products to be created with lower manufacturing cost for that market. Embedded markets typically involve consumer electronics devices such as wired communications equipment like TVs, DVDs, modems, etc.



Those products often have life cycles that do not see the high turnover rates found in cell phones, PDAs and other higher-end personal appliances. Intel already has products for those high-turnover markets being manufactured on this 65nm process.



Intel's NOR embedded offerings include both parallel and serial products. Their StrataFlash embedded memory solution is a single-chip, low-cost-per-bit product with high-density and high-performance. Existing embedded applications can also utilize Intel's legacy support products which offer drop-in compatible upgrade paths to save prior work investments. Intel's Serial flash memory has a lower pin-count interface potentially saving board space...

SuperTalent intros $699 120GB solid-state drive

Notebook makers like Apple and Lenovo have shown that solid-state drives can be superior alternatives to hard drives for ultra-thin laptops, thanks to their small footprint, low power consumption, and high performance. However, with your typical 64GB SSD costing around a grand, SSD-based notebooks remain prohibitively expensive for the most part.



This is where Super Talent comes in. The memory maker has released five new 2.5", Serial ATA SSDs with prices that one could almost call reasonable. The new MasterDrive MX line includes 30GB, 60GB, and 120GB SSDs priced at a respective $299, $449, and $699. Super Talent says all three drives can hit 120MB/s in sequential reads and 40MB/s in sequential writes through a 300MB/s Serial ATA interface.

FireWire Interface to Get Speed Boost

Universal Serial Bus 3.0 is just around the cornet, but it does not mean that its brother IEEE 1394 standard (also known as FireWire and iLink) has ceased its development. In fact, this month the 1394 trade association said that it had ratified the 1394-2008 specification, which significantly improves bandwidth of the interconnect.

The 1394-2008 high performance serial bus standard updates and revises all prior 1394 standards dating back to the original 1394-1995 version, and including 1394a, 1394b, 1394c, enhanced UTP, and the 1394 beta plus PHY-Link interface. It also incorporates the complete specifications for S1600 version with 1.6Gb/s bandwidth) and for S3200 version, which provides 3.2Gb/s speed.

Nvidia's High-End Chipset Under Fire for Problems

Nvidia Corp., a leading designer of graphics processor and core-logic sets, is about to face criticism from enthusiasts for the problems that occur with the company's latest premium-class chipset. Apparently, the core-logic's I/O controller has issues with Serial ATA and RAID (redundant array of independent disks) capabilities.

Users in several forums, particularly, in EVGA and Nvidia tech support forums, report about "lock up" and "disk error" issues with Serial ATA hard disk drives and RAID capabilities of the Nvidia nForce 680i SLI core-logic that sells for 贘 per two chips alone. Some end users even cannot install Windows XP operating system, whereas others could not use their systems flawlessly for long and some even report data corruption.

Even though the majority of users have stable mainboards, the number of those, who purchased mainboards based on Nvidia nForce 680i chipset and now report instabilities seems to be significant and the problem - widespread. The issues do not seem to have relation to overclocking or Serial ATA working modes. In fact, users reported problems with RAID in case of previous-generation Nvidia nForce chipsets as well, but, perhaps, earlier the problems were not faced by a significant number of users.

Nvidia: High-End Chipset Problem Solved, End-Users Disagree

Nvidia Corp., a leading developer of core-logic sets and graphics processors, said that the problem with Serial ATA controller on its latest high-end core-logic sets is solved, however, some users are still reporting problems with Serial ATA operation on systems running nForce chipsets from the company. Earlier users in several forums, particularly, in EVGA and Nvidia tech support forums, reported about "lock up" and "disk error" issues with Serial ATA hard disk drives and RAID capabilities of the Nvidia nForce 680i SLI core-logic. Some end users even could not install Windows XP operating system, whereas others could not use their systems flawlessly for long and some even reported data corruption. The majority of customers, however, reported no problems. Later on EVGA and Nvidia issued a BIOS version that should fix the problems and make the systems more stable.

"The problem that some users were experiencing related to signal timings on the motherboard. The new BIOS (P32) corrects this," said Drew Henry, Nvidia's chipset chief, in an interview with ard|OCP web-site. Nvidia now blames its internal quality assurance process for not detecting the issues early and claims that in future there will be no such situations when end-users discover issues not seen by the core-logic developer. "We should have caught this in our internal QA process. Unfortunately, we didn't, and we have adjusted internal processes to make sure that this does not happen again," Mr. Henry said.
