microsoft.com/presspass - 19.06.2007Imagination Technologies announce multi-core mobile GPUs
The Register is reporting that Imagination Technologies has recently announced two multi-core graphics processing units, for use in mobile devices.
The chips are being called the POWERVR™ SGX543MP, with the last two letters on the end of SGX543MP being replaced with 2 or 16, to represent the
variance in the amount of cores. This news is rather interesting as MacRumors says Apple is an investor and licensee of Imagination Technologies, and
they are the company who currently makes the graphics chips for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. This could lead one to believe that these new chips will be
included in a new revision of Apple's iPhone, expected to be announced/released around June or July this year.

Research firm Gartner Inc. has put "Green IT" at the top of its list of ten strategic technologies for next year, and says if businesses dont
improve data center energy efficiency, the government may force it.
But social networking technologies are also on the list,
along with some further off technological developments, such as server designs that use a resource-sharing approach called a computing fabric.
A strategic technology is something that may have an impact on a business. And by impact it may be something driving an investment
or posing a risk for the business, said David Cearley, a Gartner analyst. If your competitors adopt one of these technologies "does that put you at a
competitive disadvantage?" he said at the Stamford, Conn.-based firm's ITexpo here.
