20.11.2005 Intel to take 'Averill' to market as Centrino-like platform
Intel will next year launch its third branded PC platform, after Centrino and Viiv, this time pitched at corporate desktops.
As yet there's no word on the platform's go-to-market brandname, but it will almost certainly be based on Intel's 'Averill' platform. Averill was announced at the chip giant's Developer Forum in March this year for availability in 2006.
Averill is based on Intel's upcoming 'Broadwater' chipset, which will ship primarily as the 965 family, but also as the 946 and 963 product lines, it is believed. The platform also takes in Intel's next-generation Gigabit Ethernet controller, 'Nineveh', and its 65nm dual- and single-core Pentium D and Pentium 4 6xx processors.

Intel Corp.'s

stealthy
rootkits.
The chip maker's
Communications Technology Lab,
in a project called System
Integrity Services, has
created a hardware engine to
sniff out sophisticated
malware attacks by monitoring
the way operating systems and
critical applications interact
with hardware inside
computers.
By
watching a computer's main
memory, the System Integrity
Services can detect when an
attacker takes control of the
system???such attacks sever
the ties between data loaded
into memory by an application
and the application
itself???and can fool a system
so as to avoid detection while
potentially allowing for
surreptitious pilfering of
data or the perpetration of
other attacks. ..

21.06.2009Silicon Motion expects SSD market to grow fast in 2H 2008
The solid state drive (SSD) market will grow faster than expected in 2008, with the SATA interface promising to become the mainstream for notebook-use
SSDs in the future, according to Wallace Kou, president and CEO of IC designer Silicon Motion. Kou noted three main trends in NAND flash applications:
handset-use microSD cards, embedded memory and SSDs. Handsets with memory card slots account for 27-30% of the handset market in 2007, and the
proportion will rise to 40% in 2008, spurring growth of microSD's share, he said.
For embedded memory, the Apple iPhone has offered
good demonstration to the market, Kou said. While the mainstream embedded memory for handsets has already reached 8GB, the capacity will be even
higher in 2008, he added

Disk drives have only recently begun to be measured in terabytes. MetaRam CEO Fred Weber is talking about putting terabytes of memory into servers.
The San Jose, Calif.-based company, which is just coming out of stealth mode and has received money from three of the four founders
of Sun Microsystems, has devised a chipset that effectively lets computer makers or owners double or quadruple the amount of memory in their systems
fairly cheaply. A standard two-processor server on the market right now might have a ceiling of 64GB (gigabytes) of memory. By inserting DIMMs (dual
inline memory modules) equipped with MetaRam's chips into the same server, the capacity can go to 128GB or 256GB.

25.02.2008Leading Memory Maker Acquires Enthusiast PC Manufacturer
In a bid to leverage its memory market footprint, OCZ Technology Group acquired Hypersonic, a leading maker of personal computers for gamers. The move

12.03.2008iPhone, new iPods to spur flash prices
Sales of Apple's iPhone and
new iPods slated for release
later this year will mark the
end of cheap flash memory for
a time, and that means users
may see fewer bargains on
older digital music players or
bundled flash memory cards.
The iPhone took off
to a stellar start in its
first weekend, as users braved
long lines and the weather for
a chance to buy one of the
smartphones. Estimates vary,
but at least one investment
house, Goldman Sachs Group,
believes sales the first
weekend reached an astounding
700,000 units, and mainly on
iPhones with 8GB of NAND flash
memory on board for data
storage. That's a lot more
flash memory than the average
handset, which normally comes
with just 60MB on board and a
slot for flash memory cards.
The NAND flash memory
market could see even more
pressure later this year if
Apple chooses to use the chips
instead of hard disc drives in
its new lineup of iPods. Apple
is expected to release new
iPods later this year,
including one that can
download songs wirelessly
using Wi-Fi, and has a
touchscreen system similar to
the iPhone, analysts say. Such
new devices will not only
likely attract buying from
Apple's usual fan base, but
could also put pressure on the
NAND flash memory chip market.

you a lot of money. After all, it is possible to configure a Core i7 processor with triple-channel memory operating at 1066, 1333 and 1600MHz, or
even faster. But what are the benefits of using more aggressively clocked memory? With the new Core i7 platform, DDR3 should finally get its chance

30.04.2008NAND Flash Memory Downturn to Continue
A global glut of NAND flash memory chips, which store songs, photos and other data in gadgets from iPods to digital cameras, will continue for at
least the next few months because companies have been slow to rein in production, according to DRAMeXchange Technology.
The market
researcher, which is based in the heartland of the global memory spot market in Taipei, predicts the NAND flash supply will grow 149 percent this year
despite worsening prices for the chips. The problem is that chip makers such as Samsung Electronics, Hynix Semiconductor and SanDisk's partner,
Toshiba, have not moved fast enough to cut production.
The good news for users is that companies will be able to offer more NAND flash
storage capacity for a lower price, or offer better deals on existing products such as flash memory cards and MP3 players. Low NAND flash prices could
also spur companies to lower prices on hot products such as SSDs (solid state drives) in hopes of growing the market for the drives.
