AMD versus Intel, bye bye Intel

You may recall a few months back when AMD took out full-page newspaper ads to challenge Intel to a dual-core server duel. Intel declined to take up AMD on its offer, but the challenge got us thinking: what would the results of a dual-core desktop CPU fight look like? Many people equate Windows PCs with Intel Pentium processors (and soon will likely be doing the same with Macs), but we've seen dual-core CPU AMD systems power ahead of dual-core Intel-based PCs on more than one occasion.

Machines with Centrino CPU's will also get a new sticker-logo from now on, saying only 'Centrino', without the real CPU name. The amount of cores will still be mentioned on the sticker.

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.

IRS to tax Second Life/World of Warcraft earnings?

The Internal Revenue Service, the American tax authority, is looking into the possibility of taxing transactions that take place in virtual worlds, such as World of Warcraft and Second Life, based on the claim that revenue generated within these environments is nearly equivalent to the GNP of Russia and significantly greater than the GNPs of many more countries. The National Taxpayer Advocate: 2008 Annual Report to Congress, Volume One, states: "Where there is economic income, there is likely to be tax due from someone." (p. 217) Certainly it is true that monetary conversions from many such virtual world currencies into real-world currencies are both possible and fairly common.

World of Warcraft, meet Visual Studio

A top official from Microsoft's developer division showcased an array of new development technologies on Tuesday, including a demo of the game World of Warcraft running within the company's Visual Studio integrated development environment.



Scott Guthrie, general manager of the developer division, gave a wide-ranging keynote at Microsoft's DevConnections conference at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas.



But he seemed to especially capture the audience's attention with the WarCraft demo, which coincided with Microsoft's announcement that it would let partners use Visual Studio and its accompanying software development kit to target platforms besides its own.



WarCraft, a popular online role-playing game, uses a programming language called LUA. The Microsoft presentation showed a developer using the familiar Visual Studio environment to code in LUA and create some extensions for the game.

World of Warcraft reaches 800,000 concurrent users in China

Blizzards launch of the World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion pack in China has helped it reach a record 800,000 simultaneous players in that country. The expansion pack was launched September 6th 2007 after several months of contentious negotiations between Blizzard and The9, Blizzards partner in China.



The Burning Crusade was launched in the United States on January 16th 2007, but the folks in China had to wait for Blizzard and The9 to finalize localization and fee issues.



Unlike players in the United States and Europe, World of Warcraft players in China dont pay monthly subscription fees rather they pay by the hour.

Intel Reportedly to Simplify Brand-Names

In the recent years the product portfolio of Intel Corp. extended tremendously as a result of platformization as well as transition to multi-core technologies, making it uneasy for customers to determine the product they need. But that is going to change, once the company performs global platform simplification process in the beginning of 2008.

It was already reported that the world's largest chipmaker will get rid of Intel Viiv and Intel vPro brand-names going forward, but apparently the changes will be much more substantial, according to reports from Japanese and Taiwanese web-sites. For instance, Intel Core 2 processors will lose their "Solo", "Duo" or "Quad" differentiators, but will be marketed under Intel Core 2 brand-names. Intel Pentium D and Intel Pentium Dual-Core chips, despite of the fact that they are based on different micro-architectures, will be sold under Intel Pentium label. Nevertheless, Intel Celeron, Intel Core Extreme and Intel Xeon trademarks will be retained.

Apple said to have third Beatle

Apple Incorporated seems to have reached a deal with former Beatle Ringo Starr for the distribution of his solo works released by EMI through the iTunes store. Starr's solo albums that were released on Koch Records are already available through the store. If the deal is official, Starr will become the third member of the group to sign a solo deal with Apple. Sir Paul McCartney cut a deal with Apple in May, and earlier this month John Lennon's solo catalogue was also brought to the iTunes store. With three of the four (the late George Harrison being the fourth) band members signed on to solo deals with Apple, there is once again speculation regarding bringing the Beatles catalogue, also distributed by EMI, to iTunes.

Blizzard nukes another 76,000 morons from World of Warcraft

Blizzard Entertainment announced earlier today that they had laid the smack down on more than 76,000 hacking idiots in that little known MMORPG World of Warcraft. In addition to the bans, Blizzard also nuked 11 million gold from the game's economy in Europe, Korea and the US. Thus helping us regular users to continue our addiction with less gold farming idiots to compete with and of course less of those wonderful super leveling service spam mails we all love now. Good riddance to bad cyber rubbish I say. Good on you Blizzard, and keep it up.
