USB 3.0 Creeps Closer

Intel has released a new set of tools that will allow hardware vendors to build chips for the upcoming version of the USB(Universal Serial Bus) interface. The Extension Host Controller Interface(xHCI) draft specification allows the USB host controllers to communicate with a software stack, allowing developers to communicate with the USB 3.0 hardware and build controller chips for devices.



USB 3.0 is targeted at ten times the current bitrate, reaching roughly 4.8 Gb/s (600MB/s) by utilizing two additional high-speed differential pairs for "Superspeed" mode at a clock frequency of 2.5GHz, and with the possibility for optical interconnect. The two new differential pairs make the cable about as thick as an ethernet cable and provide full-duplex transfers. The USB 3.0 specification was 90% complete as of August 13, 2008 and commercial products are expected to arrive in 2009 or 2010. USB 3.0 is designed to be backwards-compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 and employs more efficient protocols such as 8b/10b encoding to conserve power while increasing the maximum power available for connected devices.



Intel describes the interface as a simplified kit for integrating the the "SuperSpeed" USB connections. Intel is hoping to push USB 3.0 as the connection standard for the HD media devices that demand larger pipelines for data transfers. The company counts Microsoft, AMD, Dell, and nVidia among the early backers for SuperSpeed USB. Intel hopes to release the next xHCI draft specification by the end of the year.

Intel I7-The Gamers' Heaven

Intel’s next generation of desktop and mobile processors will retain the chip giant’s Core brand, the company said this morning. No great surprise there, but they won’t be ‘Core 3′ parts.



Nehalem architecture chips will be marked ‘i7′, instead, though Intel further messed it up by telling us to expect other such codes for different next-gen CPUs as the roll-out continues through 2009.

The logos Intel published today suggest that while it will continue to offer Extreme-class CPUs, aimed at gamers, they’ll be distinguished visually simply by a black version of the blue logo to be attached to boxes and machines containing regular desktop Core i7s.



There’s logic to the use of ‘i7′: just as Pentium was Intel’s fifth-generation processor architecture, so the new Cores will be its seventh major x86 CPU design.

The fourth quarter will see the introduction of a pair of mainstream desktop quad-core parts and a single Extreme chip. All three processors are codenamed ‘Bloomfield’. The Extreme part is set to clock at 3.2GHz and connects directly to 1333MHz DDR 3 memory. The other two Bloomfields will run at 2.93MHz and 2.66GHz, respectively, and connect to 1066MHz DDR 3.All three chips can link to three channels of memory.

Nehalem chips will use Intel's new QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) bus. In the case of the Extreme CPU, the bus is tuned to deliver 6.4bn transfers per second (GT/s), while the mainstream desktop chips' QPI bus runs to 4.8GT/s, it's claimed.

All three CPUs clip into LGA1366 sockets. They contain 8MB of L3 cache shared across all four cores - each core has its own complement of L1 and L2 cache; 256KB of the latter - and support all the usual Intel extension technologies except TXT (Trusted eXecution Technology). They're all said to have a power and thermal envelope of 130W.

Texas Instruments Open Multimedia Application Platform(TI OMAP) is a Texas Instruments proprietary microprocessor for multimedia applications.Some of the processors in the OMAP family contain a dual-core architecture consisting of both a general-purpose host ARM processor and one or more DSP. The Digital Signal Processor featured is commonly one or another variant of the Texas Instruments TMS320 series DSPs.

The ARM architecture (previously, the Advanced RISC Machine, and prior to that Acorn RISC Machine) is a 32-bit RISC processor architecture developed by ARM Limited that is widely used in embedded designs. Because of their power saving features, ARM CPUs are dominant in the mobile electronics market, where low power consumption is a critical design goal.

Today, the ARM family accounts for approximately 75% of all embedded 32-bit RISC CPUs,making it one of the most widely used 32-bit architectures. ARM CPUs are found in most corners of consumer electronics, from portable devices (PDAs, mobile phones, media players, hand-held gaming units, and calculators) to computer peripherals (hard drives, desktop routers); however it no longer has significant penetration as the main processor in the desktop computer market and has never been used in a supercomputer or cluster.

The Willcom 03 Smartphone

The Willcom 03 also known as Sharp WS020SH is a smartphone which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic. It comes with an LCD WVGA (800×480) 3′’ touchscreen, a QWERTY keyboard, 1Seg tuner, 256MB memory, microSD and W-SIM slots, and a 2.0-megapixel camera with auto focus.

W-SIM (Willcom-SIM) is a SIM card developed by Willcom which, in addition to standard SIM functions, also has the core components of a cellular telephone (PHS), such as the radio receiver and/or transmitter, built inside. It is currently used in some terminals,which do not have radio modules.
The W-SIM core module is an extended version of a SIM card, containing not only user data but also all the transmission technology needed for a mobile device to work.

1seg (named after WanSegu) is a mobile terrestrial digital audio/video and data broadcasting service in Japan. Service began experimentally during 2005 and commercially on April 1, 2006. The first mobile phone handsets for 1seg were sold by KDDI,a Japanese company,to consumers in autumn 2005.
ISDB-T, the terrestrial digital broadcast system used in Japan, is designed so that each channel is divided into 13 segments, with a further segment separating it from the next channel. A HDTV broadcast signal occupies 12 segments, leaving the remaining (13th) segment for mobile receivers. Thus the name, "1seg" or "One Seg".

Windows Mobile is a compact operating system combined with a suite of basic applications for mobile devices based on the Microsoft Win32 API. Devices that run Windows Mobile include Pocket PCs, Smartphones, Portable Media Centers, and on-board computers for certain automobiles. It is designed to be somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows, feature-wise and aesthetically. Additionally, third-party software development is available for Windows Mobile. Originally appearing as the Pocket PC 2000 operating system, Windows Mobile has been updated several times, with the current version being Windows Mobile 6.1, and a new release scheduled for 2010.Microsoft projected in 2008 that shipments of devices with Windows Mobile will increase from 11 million to 20 million units. Microsoft licenses Windows Mobile to four out of the five world's largest mobile phone manufacturers, with Nokia being the other.

Coming to the variety the phone is available in. It is available in a range of colors such as-metallic black,olive green,pink and also metal silver.It is sleek,compact and eye-catching in its looks. I bet your colleagues are going to be very jealous of it. Be sure that you don't miss it anywhere!

The Blue Ray Technology

The Blue-ray Disc(also known as Blu-ray)is an optical disc storage media format. Its main uses are high-definition video and data storage. The disc has the same dimensions as a standard DVD or CD.

The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue laser (violet coloured) used to read and write this type of disc. Because of its shorter wavelength (405 nm), substantially more data can be stored on a Blu-ray Disc than on the DVD format, which uses a red (650 nm) laser. A dual layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 GB, almost six times the capacity of a dual layer DVD.

Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group of companies representing consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion picture production. As of July 2,2008 more than 650 Blu-ray Disc films have been commercially released in The United States and more than 410 Blu-ray Disc titles have been released in Japan.
