Intel486 SX & IntelDX2 and IntelDX4 Embedded Processor

Intel486 SX & IntelDX2 and IntelDX4 Embedded Processor

The embedded Intel486™ SX processor provides high performance to 32-bit, embedded applications that do not required a floating-point unit. The embedded Intel486 SX processor is binary compatible with the Intel386™ and earlier Intel processors. Compared with the Intel386 processor, it provides faster execution of many commonly used instructions. It also provides the benefits of an integrated 8-Kbyte, write-through cache for code and data. Its data bus can operate in burst mode, which provides up to 106Mbps transfers for cache-line fills and instructions prefetches. Two component packages are available: a 196-Lead Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP), and a 168-Pin Grid Array (PGA), both available for 5-volt designs. Both products operate at CLK frequencies up to 33MHz. The IntelDX2™ and IntelDX4™ processors bring the highest level of performance in the Intel486 family, created by such combined features as speed-multiplying technology, on-chip integration of Level I unified code and data cache, memory management unit with paging, and floating-point unit. The clock-multiplier allows the processor to operate at frequencies higher than the external memory bus. The integer unit uses RISC design techniques to provide single-clock-cycle execution of common instructions and general purpose registers for manipulating 32-bit addresses and data. The 8K on-chip Write-Through unified cache on the speed-doubled IntelDX2 processor, and the 16K on-chip Write-Back Enhanced unified cache on the speed-tripled IntelDX4 processor maintains the one-clock-per-instruction execution rate. Intel 486 processors provide support for multiprocessing systems. Support for multi-level caches reduces bus utilization, allowing multiple Intel486 processors to share a single memory bus. For the highest level of performance, choose the IntelDX2 and IntelDX4 processors

The New STI cell processor

New Disclosures to Jumpstart Creation of Cell-based Applications Beyond Gaming
IBM, Sony and Toshiba release key documents describing fresh technical details of the revolutionary Cell Broadband Engine architecture.
Just as the cells in a body unite to form complete physical systems, a "Cell" architecture will allow all kinds of electronic devices (from consumer products to supercomputers) to work together, signaling a new era in Internet entertainment, communications and collaboration.In March 2001, Sony and Toshiba and IBM (STI) announced that they had teamed up to design an architecture for what is termed a system-on-a-chip (SoC) design. Code-named Cell, chips based on the architecture will be able to use ultra high-speed broadband connectivity to interoperate with one another as one complete system, similar to the way neural cells interoperate over the brain's network. IBM expects Cell to define an entirely new way of operating. Cell's underlying architecture will enable it to manifest itself into many forms for many purposes, helping to open up a whole new set of applications. Incorporating this architecture, chips will be developed for everything from handheld devices to mainframe computers.

Cell will take advantage of IBM's most advanced semiconductor development and process technologies. These cells will deliver high performance while consuming small quantities of power.

AMD Phenom Triple-Core Processor

AMD Phenom Triple-Core Processor

AMD’s triple-core processors have been on the horizon for months now and, after all the speculation and derision, they are finally here. The launch included three Phenom X3 processors: the 8750, 8650, and 8450, all of which will come in at under $200. AMD is, as expected, positioning these processors between their dual-core and quad-core offerings and is targeting cost-conscious consumers, people who will appreciate the performance boost but would rather save a few dollars than go with a quad-core.
The three 65nm models will arrive at 2.1, 2.3, and 2.4GHz frequencies, respectively priced at $145, $165, and a hefty $195 for the 8750. These models have a TDP of 95W and 1.5MB total L2 cache per processors as well as 2MB shared cache. Also included is HT 3.0, a 1.8GHz memory controller, and Dual Dynamic Power Management. And because this is a 50 series processor we know it is a B3 revision model. They are AM2+ (940 pin) compatible so consumers won’t necessarily need new hardware to run an X3.
Having the basic information in front of you, it’s not immediately clear whether AMD is fulfilling a need that no one has, offering an interesting new option to consumers, or just making the best out of their situation (by releasing “broken” quad-cores as X3s). What we do know though is that outside of enthusiasts circles there won’t be the clamoring and complaints about the third core, rather it’ll probably be seen as nothing more (or less) than something between two other options.
AMD is also touting a platform approach–not exactly admitting that they can’t compete with Intel on a processor-by-processor basis, but rather than their entire package is better than the competition’s. Specifically, this platform is “Cartwheel”, AMD’s current take on a main-stream computer with integrated graphics. By using the 780G chipset AMD could actually produce a better system (dollar-for-dollar) than Intel, so long as you subscribe to their platform approach, something that may actually make sense considering that most sub-$200 processors are found in pre-built computers.

AMD unleashes triple-core, 5 new quad-cores Processors

AMD unleashes triple-core, 5 new quad-cores Processors

Everything hasn’t exactly been great for AMD lately, but the plucky chip maker has some news for us today. Despite the tough times, the company earned a number of positive reactions from the recent 780G announcement, and it is following that up with three announcement today.
First, triple-core is finally here. We have been hearing about this for months, and after all complaints about triple-core being nothing more than failed quad-core processors, consumers will be able to find out for themselves. The triple core Phenoms will launch as mainstream processors, aimed at users who are interested in additional performance relative to dual-core offerings, without having to substantially increase the amount they are spending. AMD says that triple-core Phenoms will be ideal for budget-minded users who have high-definition content in mind, and that the processor will be a great match for 780G.
So far, we know about the Phenom 8600 (2.3GHz) and 8400 (2.1GHz). They will have L1 cache sizes of 64K of instruction and 64K of data cache per core (512KB total L1) and L2 will hold 512KB of L2 data cache per core (2MB total L2 per processor). These are 65 nm processors that are backwards compatible with AM2 motherboards. The TDP for both models is 95W. We are still waiting on pricing information, but it looks like they will be a bit over US$150.The next piece of news dropped concerned new quad-core processors, including the Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition and Phenom X4 9750. These are additions to AMD’s quad-core lineup that will run at 2.5GHz and 2.4GHz, with TDP ratings of 125W. The new in the 95W TDP are the 9650 and the 9550, which will come in at 2.3GHz and 2.2GHz. So, nothing groundbreaking, but the larger point is that AMD is aiming to make quad-core accessible, while maintaining it as the company’s high-end offering. A quad-core Phemon matched with the 790 chipset is the companies top-shelf offering for gaming, supposing you also pony up the dough for a competitive video card. These are bug-free B3 revision processors.

Dell recommends Windows Vista® Home Premium.

Dell recommends Windows Vista® Home Premium.

DisplaySearch Q1 2007 Quarterly Desktop Monitor Shipment and Forecast Report, February 2007.

2 To continue using PC TuneUp after one year of use, you must sign up and pay for an annual subscription by initializing and accessing Dell Support 3.

3 Significant system memory may be used to support graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors.

4 DellConnect may not necessarily be used for every incident. High-speed Internet (broadband) connection required. Go online for details at www.dell.com/dellconnect.







Product Summary

The good: Windows Vista Home Premium does improve some features within Windows XP; fewer system crashes than Windows XP; and Windows Vista offers better built-in support options.

The bad: Windows Vista Home Premium does not put Search on the desktop (it's buried within applications, within the Start Menu); no new software yet written exclusively for Windows Vista; optimized only for the Microsoft Windows ecosystem (for example, RSS feeds from Internet Explorer 7 get preferential treatment); Tablet PC support unnecessary; fax and scan support missing; and there are too many editions of Windows Vista.

The bottom line: Windows Vista Home Premium is essentially warmed-over Windows XP Home Edition. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista Home Premium is stable enough for everyday use.

The new shape of laptops & desktops

laptop and desktop computers

If there's a phrase that characterizes the latest crop of desktops and laptops, it's "going to extremes." During our computers review we saw the thinnest, smallest, and largest laptops we've ever tested, along with laptops and desktops of unprecedented processing speed.

Even component integration is getting extreme, as more manufacturers stuff computer circuitry into monitors to create sleek, one-piece desktops.

Yet the computers review also found basic budget computers and more powerful workhorse and high-end models that would be fine choices for most people.

Here are the details:

More choices for special needs. The all-in-one computers and the new very small and very large laptops come at a price—financial, practical, or both—but they also offer unique distinctions. (See "What's new," available to subscribers.)

* All-in-ones. For our review, we rated six computers (available to subscribers) that combine the components and monitor into a single unit that's thicker than an LCD, though smaller than the combined volume of a traditional two-piece desktop. Apple's elegant iMacs are the original all-in-ones, though Apple's competitors also have stylistic flair. Sony's all-in-one, for example, borrows design elements from some models in the company's HDTV line, with a display that seems to float within a glass case. The HP TouchSmart has a touchscreen and a message center that allows a family to share an electronic calendar and leave notes for one another.

* Laptops, slim and large. Our computers review found new designs that shrink and expand the machine in different ways, with different trade-offs.


Apple's MacBook Air is only three-quarters of an inch thick. Despite its diminutive size, it has an 80GB hard drive, or a smaller 64GB drive if you choose the solid-state version. The 13.3-inch screen was excellent, although colors were not as vibrant as on the best laptop screens we've seen. Battery life was a generous 4½ hours for the standard hard drive, 5¼ for the solid-state. But it's missing an Ethernet port and a CD/DVD drive, although you can add an external drive for $100. At $1,800 it's also the costliest slim-and-light laptop we tested, and the solid-state version costs $3,100.

A number of other laptops in the computers review shrink just about everything, including the price. The Asus Eee PC, for example, costs just $400. It has a 7-inch screen, flash memory instead of a hard drive for saving power, and a 24-month warranty. Like most such machines, it uses the Linux operating system, which we recommend only for basic tasks such as Web browsing and word processing. The Asus has an easy mode for users with little Linux or other computer know-how, weighs about 2 pounds, and ran for 3 hours and 45 minutes in our battery tests.

At the other extreme is HP's Pavilion HDX with its 20-inch screen and $2,000-and-up price tag. The model in our computers review has a lot of features, including two hard drives, a port for an external hard drive, Bluetooth, two front-mounted headphone jacks, and a digital TV tuner. Sound was very good for a laptop, which isn't surprising because it has four speakers and a subwoofer.

Processing accelerates. Chip maker AMD recently joined competitor Intel in making so-called quad-core chips, with four processors instead of the usual two. Intel's Core 2 Quad was the speedier of the two, besting AMD's Phenom by 20 percent and Intel's older Core 2 Duo by about the same. The quad-core desktops we tested during the computers review cost a few hundred dollars more than dual-core models.

Intel also launched its new line of Penryn processors for laptops, known as the T8x00 and T9x00 Core 2 Duo series. We tested them in eight models in the computers review , with mixed results. Battery life in one pair of laptops rose by 30 minutes, but not at all in another. Speed increased by as much as 57 percent, depending on which older processor it was compared with. The new processors boost a laptop's price by $50 to $150 compared with the prior generation of processors, which remain available.

Standard computers advance. Cutting-edge computers aside, even the mainstream models in our Ratings and computers review reflect the steady advance in performance and features, with larger hard drives, increased RAM, and more.
