IBM  has been working on it for 3 long years, and spent neat $1.5billion to produce what argumentally may become world’s Fastest Processor.

All the work was done under the secret research lab aimed to improve the performance of its existing mainframe systems. The new Fastest processor would become the heart of IBM’s new zEnterprise clocked at .. Read Further »

You won’t see this happening everyday. The Chip giant buys a security software giant, out of nowhere.

Intel, the biggest chip-hardware player, is buying software/security maker McAfee for $7.7 billion, a huge 60% premium  over yesterday’s market price.

Acquisitions like this one are Really rare in the Tech industry, here’s why:

• Intel bought a company which is almost as big as itself.
• A core Hardware company buying a core security software company.

Apple has overhauled its long forgotten Mac Pro lineup.

Apple has brought some massive upgrades to Mac Pros, which make them the most powerful Desktop Computers around. Revised Mac Pro workstations come along with option of 27″ LED Cinema IPS Display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution.

The core horsepower lies with the fact that the top model comes with up to 12 Xeon processing cores in a dual-CPU configuration(featuring the latest quad-core and 6-core Intel Xeon processors), up to 4 512GB SSD .. Read Further »

BIOS has been around since the invention of early PCs. It has been responsible for doing a routine check on the system hardware during boot, and then handover the OS loading (booting) process to the BootLoader by looking up the BootSector.

Evidently, it’s the one major part of the PC that’s still carried over from the PC’s ancient times,but the familiarly-clunky BIOS could soon be R.I.P., according to MSI. The motherboard makers including MSI vision newer and better replacement for the BIOS. MSI says it’s now making a big shift towards point and click UEFI (universal extensible firmware interface) systems, which is all set for the end of the .. Read Further »

Samsung is showing off a 19-inch transparent AMOLED display at this years SID, up from the 14-inch model we saw back at CES in the CES 2010. With more than 30% transparency in newer models, it might become a great eye-candy on notebook computers very soon.

With Processor fabrication getting better and better every year at the pace of Moore’s law, a new research will Leap frog the innovation.

Moore’s Law predicts that the amount of memory that can fit on a given area of silicon, for a fixed cost doubles every 12-18 months. The limit of this prediction is being tested as components get ever smaller and their computationally useful properties become less reliable.

Intel has been trying to do it since years, but they have failed in a an ugly fashion with poor graphics performance of Core i3, Core i5. Not just that, Intel has failed at even creating a decent dedicated Graphics processor. Now AMD, with years of strong Graphics processor ATI, seems to be holding strong with Fusion of CPU + GPU.

AMD Fusion was planned for 2011, but as per today’s announcement, .. Read Further »

Did you recently decided to make yourself a High-end Gaming Rig and ended-up in confusion of what to get. Whether to choose that new 1GHz AMD ATi Radeon HD or one of those of Nvidia CUDA/SLI powered GTX quad cores?

Well, .. Read Further »

Intel’s plans for entering smartphone market is making sweet progress. Few days back, Intel announced Official Android port to x86, Atom and today they demonstrated the next generation Atom processor that would lay the building blocks of the .. Read Further »

We live in the world full of serpents, overlook things for seconds and you are bitten to death.

Trojans, viruses, malware are everywhere. They find new ways to enter our sacred computers some way or the other. Talking about scenarios where hacker had physical access, traditionally, lame Autorun based USBs could install unwanted programs on your PCs the moment they are plugged, but those are easy to get rid of: Switch off autoplay. What if a USB uses a cross-platform native profile to inject malicious programs into computers? — It becomes unstoppable.

One such device was demoed at this year’s .. Read Further »
