Samsung rolled out a new version of its Spinpoint 2.5"hard drive series. The new drive is the second drive in the market to offer a capacity of 320 GB in this form factor.
The 20-hour notebook, 200 hour iPod, 80 hour cell phone, they could all be in our near futures thanks to silicon nanowire research into advanced Lithium-Ion batteries.
With 95% of handsets already utilizing LED backlighting, LED makers estimate that LED shipment growth will slow next year to a 10% range, a growth rate just slightly ahead of forecasted 9.
Despite that the profitability of graphics DDR (GDDR) memory is higher than commodity DRAM, DRAM makers from Taiwan will not enter the market in 2008 due to budget constraints and the widening technological lead of the sector's dominant players, sources from the memory industry in Taiwan have commented.
The coral reefs are providing early signs as to the perilous conditions of our oceans. Too much acid, too much salt, and too much CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere increasing the temperature. Changes need to be enacted soon to keep the coral reefs from dying by 2100, and an irreversible trend beginning.
A team of researchers has been able to do the math, tweaking the computer design phase of creating a CPU. While no other aspects of manufacturing change, the increase is delivering at least a 5% boost.
Imagine a CPU that can withstand 200C temperatures without damage. Such a thing may be possible with a new line of hybrid zero thermal expansion materials which are proving suitable for semiconductor use, as well as a new class of positive, negative or zero thermal expansion materials. Heat may soon be our enemy no longer.
