The Latest Processors



Latest Intel Processor

A.( SC1476 ) The SC1476 controller is developed to meet the latest performance and power-saving technologies set forth by Intel for its mobile Pentium® M processor, including the recently launched Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology. The SC1476 controller complies with the latest Intel Mobile Voltage Positioning specification, IMVP-IV, as well as the enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology to extend battery life while optimizing performance. For added power efficiency, the SC1476 controller includes Automatic Power Save and DeeperSleep mode support.Encompassing a rich feature set in one chip, the SC1476 integrates the same functionality that competitive products typically require 2 or 3 chips to implement, thereby cutting component costs and conserving scarce board space. The SC1476 also paves an easy transition from notebook computers and embedded PC products that use its predecessor, the SC1474 Dual-Phase Power Supply Controller. For reliability, the SC1476 builds on the SC1474's field-proven design."By complying with Intel's latest portable PC specifications, the SC1476 controller gives designers of notebook computers, especially the latest wireless models, an important edge in extending battery-powered running time," said Eddie Yeow, Director of Portable Power Management at Semtech. "This device represents state-of-the-art in Vcore power supply controllers for portable PCs."Built using a hysteretic PWM topology, the SC1476 needs no error amplifier, thus assuring fast response and guaranteed stability compared to conventional PWM controllers. Moreover, the SC1476 enhances its dual-phase operation with dynamic current sensing to avoid hot spots caused by unbalanced current flow.An integrated 6-bit ±0.85-percent-accurate DAC sets the processor core voltage to a value from 0.700 to 1.708V. The DAC's slew rate can be externally controlled to limit audible noise effects resulting from DeeperSleep transitions. In addition, built-in 4A gate drivers improve efficiency while allowing for low-cost MOSFETs. The high-side driver's soft turn-on reduces ringing, EMI, and low-side capacitive turn-on.Still other features of the SC1476 include a boot-voltage setting and an open-drain "power good" signal, which is blanked (indicating good voltage levels) during output voltage and DeeperSleep mode changes.

TX7 Series"TX7/i6010,i6510,i9010/i9510"NEC Corporation today announced the sales of their latest products, the "TX7/i9000, TX7/i6000" series computer systems. These systems include a server which can be configured with up to 32 of Intel's new 64-bit processors, "Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor." (
*1) NEC is the only corporation that has released a server with 32 of Itanium(R) 2 processors at this time.The TX7/i9000, i6000 series are the new additions to technical server TX7 series product line and are available with either Linux (*2) or HP-UX (*3) operating systems. These servers will be used mainly within scientific technology fields.Main features of the new product line are as follows.High-speed processing and high scalabilityHigh-speed processing is realized through combining Intel's new CPU and NEC's technology -- such as crossbar switch technology and high-speed memory access technology -- which were cultivated through years of developing supercomputers and main frames. In addition to the fact that it can be configured with up to 32 CPUs, the new series employs PCI-X for I/O bus to connect peripheral and network devices. It can also be configured with up to 112slots, demonstrating the high scalability ideal for large-scale configurations. The series has achieved industry-record performance on LINPACK HPC (*4) of 101.77GFLOPS for a 32 CPU server which employs general purpose MPU.Partitioning function for flexible system operationThe "TX7/i9000" series may be partitioned at the hardware level, enabling each subsystem to operate as an independent computer system. It is possible to divide the 32 CPU system into up to eight subsystems, each of which has four CPUs, and let them each operate separately. In this way it's possible to allocate processor capacity according to workload status, resulting in flexible system operation and guaranteed security.High reliability and availabilityMany hardware components (clock, power, fan, service processor, etc.) allow redundancy, and the CPU memory board and I/O card hardware are hot-swap compliant. Easy system recovery is possible even at the time of failure.

C. GeForce3: The Infinite Effects GPUFebruary 22, 2001Finally, Nvidia posted some news about their up coming new GPU.Below, here'S what we've found on Nvidia's web site:The NVIDIA GeForce3TM graphics processing unit (GPU) shakes up the gaming industry with unprecedented visual effects and sizzling frame rates—injecting life into the previously artificial world of computer-generated graphics. Powered by the new NVIDIA nfiniteFXTM engine and theLightspeed Memory ArchitectureTM, the GeForce3 GPU enables users to look into a rich environment instead of just a computer screen. 3D scenes have ambiance with the GeForce3 because textures appear photo-realistic and custom lighting heightens the drama. Characters and living creatures have organic imperfections and unique expressions—you can see their personality. Programmability and performance combine to provide the catalyst for this graphics revolution.Programmability: The nfiniteFX EngineThe GeForce3 GPU's nfiniteFX engine gives developers the ability to program a virtually infinite number of special effects and custom looks. Instead of developers having to choose from the same hard-coded palette of effects and ending up with the same generic look and feel, they can specify personalized combinations of graphics operations and create their own custom effects. With the nfiniteFX engine, games and other graphics-intensive applications offer more exciting and stylized visual effects. Two patented architectural advancements enable the nfiniteFX engine's programmability and its multitude of effects: Vertex Shaders and Pixel Shaders. Vertex Shaders inject personality into characters and environments. Motion invades the entire scene, not just the focal points. Vertex processing allows characters detailed movement and facial emotion By customizing the skinning and motion effects developers can create a character's personality, intensifying the impact of the visualization or animation.Pixel Shaders create ambiance with materials and surfaces that mimic reality. An infinite number of material effects replace the artificial, computerized look with high-impact organic surfaces. Characters now have facial hair and blemishes, golf balls have dimples, a red chair gains a subtle leather look, and wood exhibits texture and grain. By altering the lighting and surface effects, artists are able to manipulate colors, textures, or shapes and generate complex, realistic scenes.Performance: Lightspeed Memory ArchitectureThe Lightspeed Memory Architecture brings power to the GeForce3, delivering earth-shattering performance and fluid motion even for the most complex scenes. NVIDIA's patented high-resolution antialiasing (HRAA) generates high-performance samples at nearly four times the rate of GeForce2 Ultra, while delivering the industry's best visual quality. The GeForce3 delivers more than 800 billion operations (BOPS)—more than twice the raw performance available to consumers in today's GPUs. For more complex scenes and visuals, the GeForce3 advantage grows to as much as a seven-fold increase in delivered performance.
