The XEON QUAD seem to be a little better at overclocking at least they have a higher temperture rateing,but it still comes down to the luck of the draw ,some overclock like mad and others no so mad

Intel Celeron 1.8GHz Processor

Posted by Saleem Mukati


When Intel moved their flagship processor from the Pentium 3 to the Pentium 4 it was only a matter of time before the Celeron followed suite. After all, why would Intel have two different manufacturing processes for their processors; one for the Celeron on socket 370 and one for the Pentium 4 on socket m478?

By converging the two processors into the same formfactor Intel can make use of the silicon that didn't make the cut for P4 specs. By disabling some cache, that slab of silicon can rightfully be called a Celeron.

Intel's new line of Celeron CPU's are based on the older 0.18 micron Williamette core that was originally released two years ago and not the newer 0.13 micron Northwood core. The reason behind this is that Intel still has a vast 0.18 micron manufacturing process up and running, and it only makes sense for them to keep that operational while Intel is slowly moving everything down to 0.13 micron.

Now that we know the new Celeron's are based on the Pentium 4 architecture, how are they different from their more expensive bretheren? Actually the only difference between a Pentium 4 Williamette and the new Celeron Williamette is the amount of L2 cache

Industrial HMIs for operating and monitoring

Posted by Saleem Mukati


Kontron announces its second generation of Micro Client industrial HMI: the Kontron Micro Client II. By focussing on intended use as an industrial thin client including touch functionality for operating and monitoring, the company says Kontron Micro Client II provides all the latest features required for thin client oriented HMI applications in a cost-optimised design that includes a modular IP65 protected front panel with touch screen.
The Kontron Micro Clients II can be implemented with SATA, CompactFlash or Ethernet boot functionality. Depending on the application needs, the fanless and scalable Kontron Micro Clients II are equipped with embedded processors ranging from the 500 MHz AMD LX 800 processor up to the 1.0 GHz Intel Celeron processor. The HMIs are available with a resistive touch screen in all prevalent display formats (7, 10.4, 12.1 and 15-in).


The units offer 2 x 10/100 Ethernet, 2 external USB 2.0 ports, 1 x RS232 with optional RS422/RS485, as well as an optional CAN bus interface. They also feature embedded graphics for intuitive GUIs, as well as touch-beep and optional AC97 sound for multi-media oriented operating and monitoring applications including acoustic feedback. The fanless design enables silent operation, reduced maintenance costs and lower total-cost-of-ownership due to the MTBF of over 40,000 hours.

Intel unveils Classmate PC tablet

Posted by Saleem Mukati


I am very interested in this machine. It is a little dull looking, but teh features sound great. 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, an 8.9 inch touchscreen display, a rugged case, and an accelerometer. And, ist still awhile off so who know what else they might add or tweak.

Intel unveils tablet Classmate PC design

Posted by Saleem Mukati


Intel has revealed the design for a tablet version of its Classmate PC, a low-powered netbook designed for use in primary schools.

The tablet-format Classmate, which was unveiled on Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, will let manufacturers build Classmate PCs that can be used either as a standard clamshell laptop or — with a 180° swivel of the display — as a touchscreen tablet. As with most netbooks, it will run on Intel's Atom processor.

"Education is one of the best ways to improve the future for individuals, villages or nations," Lila Ibrahim, the general manager of Intel's emerging-markets platform group, said in a statement on Friday. "There are 1.3 billion school-age children around the world and of those only five percent have access to a PC or the internet. The IT industry has a huge opportunity to contribute to how technology can improve students' learning and students' lives."

Ibrahim's division developed the reference design for the convertible Classmate PC based on ethnographic research. Child-friendly features include a water-resistant keyboard and a sturdy frame. Another feature is dubbed "palm rejection" — in tablet mode, the user can rest their palm on the touchscreen while writing, without the screen registering the palm's pressure as input.

The original Classmate, which appeared in 2006, is widely seen as having kicked off the 'netbook' concept even before Asus released its popular Eee 701.

intel tsmc

Posted by Saleem Mukati

Intel Corp. has not had much luck moving beyond the slumping personal-computer business, so the chip giant is trying some unusual tactics to diversify.

In one of the clearest shifts to date, Intel on Monday said it would share some of its microprocessor technology with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, which builds chips to order for other manufacturers.

The deal will allow TSMC to build chips that combine Intel's ultra-small Atom microprocessor with circuitry that handles other chores. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The arrangement will help Intel, which ordinarily reserves microprocessor manufacturing for its own factories, enter non-PC markets more quickly and move beyond its practice of selling identical products to multiple customers.

Aided by TSMC, companies that make cellphones, consumer electronics and other products will be able to place custom orders for multi-function products that exploit Intel technology.

Intel has had limited success over the years expanding into chip markets for cellphones and consumer electronics like TVs and cable boxes.

The pressure on Intel to diversify is getting more intense as its core PC market deteriorates. Research firm Gartner Inc. on Monday predicted PC shipments will drop 12% in 2009, the largest annual decline on record, as the global economy continues to deteriorate

History of Computers

Posted by Saleem Mukati

The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. The abacus was one of the first counting machines. .
Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. This history of computers site includes the names of early pioneers of math and computing and links to related sites about the History of Computers, for further study. This site would be a good Web adjunct to accompany any book on the History of Computers or Introduction to Computers. The "H" Section includes a link to the History of the Web Beginning at CERN which includes Bibliography and Related Links.

The Intel Core 2 Duo is actually two processors (cores) engineered onto a single chip — offering virtually twice the computational power of a traditional single processor in the same space. With two cores tightly integrated, increased L2 cache, and a host of engineering breakthroughs, the Intel Core 2 Duo delivers higher performance for all the things you do — from enhancing the family photos to rendering special effects for a feature film.

Socket 775 Motherboards See the Asus Socket 478

Posted by Saleem Mukati

Although Intel's 925X, 915P and 915G chipsets claimed to only support DDR2 400/533, ASUS engineers successfully unleashed their true potential. This model offers native DDR2 600, eliminating the bottleneck when overclocking both the CPU and memory. With current processors supporting 800MHz FSB, ASUS motherboards, the only solutions with native DDR2 600, will provide superior performance for the most demanding applications.

The innovative ASUS Hyper Path2 significantly shortens the latency time between the CPU and memory on 925X chipsets and improves memory performance without sacrificing stability. Enabling both Hyper Path2 and Intel PAT (Performance Acceleration Technology) on the ASUS 925X based motherboards, delivers powerful computing never seen before
