4.8.2009AMD 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.

09.03.2009iWork '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

24.10.2006Nvidia "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.

23.12.2006Intel 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. ..

03.02.2009Seagate 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.

01.09.2005Intel 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...

27.04.2007SuperTalent 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.

07.05.2008FireWire 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.

13.12.2007Nvidia'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.
