Samsung LD220 - world’s first USB monitor

Samsung presents three new LCD monitors with the UbiSync, a seamless multi-display technology, including SyncMaster 2243QW, LD220 and LD190X. Samsung’s UbiSync technology allows users to extend thier visual workspace by connecting up to six displays to a PC via USB cable.
Samsung LD220 and LD190X have 1920 x 1080 and 1366 x 768 resolution respectively. They boh feature 1000:1 contrat ratio, 250cd/m2 brightness, 5ms response time and come with VGA and USB DisplayLink interfaces. The LD190X is also eco-friendly with a 2-lamp low power consumption.

Pricing details are yet to be revealed, but the LD220 will certainly not be world’s only USB monitor for very long, these gadgets should become much more popular as time comes as they are definitely very convenient to have.
USB monitors are not new to us. We’ve seen quite a number of them before, including Mitsubishi’s, D-Link’s and of course Samsung’s. We believe many will follow the foot steps, producing more USB monitors.

Intel Processors, the History

Intel was one of the pioneering Microprocessor manufacturers when it created the 4004 processor in 1971. This was followed by the 8080 processor in the late 70's, which was developed into the 8086 and 8088 processors in 1979. It was only when, in 1981 IBM selected the 8086 processor for its new Personal Computer, the IBM PC, did the Intel processor design gain its opportunity to be used widely.
The Intel 8086/8088 range of processors were based upon Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) which allows the number of bytes per instruction to vary according to the instruction being processed. This is unlike Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) which has fixed length instructions (typically set at 32 bits each). The architechture pioneered by Intel has become known as "x86" due to the early naming system where processors were called 8086, 80186 (not used in PC's), 80286, 80386, and 80486.
In 1982 Intel introduced the 80286 (or 286) processor. This featured significant enhancements over the 8086/8088 line, mainly by introducing protected mode and the ability to address up to 16 megabytes of memory. The 286 processor was used in the IBM XT range.
1985 saw the introduction of the 80386 (or 386), which was the first processor to use 32 bit addressing, allowing it to utilise up to 4 Gigabytes of memory. A cut down version of the 386 known as the 386SX was introduced which had a lower memory throughput, as it could only access 16 megabytes of memory. The 386 processor was manufactured in many different versions and ran at speeds from 16 Mhz through to 40 Mhz.
The 80486 processor family was introduced in 1989. It featured little enhancements over than the 386 other than the fact that it had more transistors and could run at higher clock speeds. Like its predecessor the 386, the 486 was offered in budget (486 SX, minus the math co-processor) and standard (486 DX) versions. The 486 initially ran at clock speeds of 25 MHz (SX only) and 33 MHz. As it was developed the 486 was enhanced with a clock doubled processor core (486 DX-2) allowing it to run at speeds of 50, 66 and 75 MHz, and then tripled (DX-4) which ran up to 100 MHz.
1993 saw the introduction of the Pentium processor, first at speeds of 60 and 66 MHz. This was the first Intel processor not to use the x86 naming system. This processor was enhanced with MMX instructions in January 1997 and ran up to speeds of 233 Mhz.
Intel's 6th generation processor was introduced as the Pentium Pro in 1995. This ran at speeds of 166, 180 and 200 MHz. What was significant was the integration of the processors 2nd level cache memory onto the processor module itself. This processor was enhanced with MMX instructions in 1997 with its development into the Pentium II. This marked a departure for Intel as it moved away from the old socket method of mounting processors with the introduction of Slot 1. The Pentium II runs at speeds from 233 to 450 MHz. 1998 saw the development of this familiy into the Celeron and Xeon families for the budget and server/workstation markets respectively.

AMD launches dual-core Phenom, Athlon CPUs

AMD has announced two new dual-core desktop processors that should allow PCs to take advantage of faster memory standards, creating faster models.
The processor maker's Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition processor, introduced on Tuesday, is its first ever dual-core version of its Phenom II CPU. It is aimed at the more hard-core user, such as professional users, games enthusiasts and other breeds of overclockers.

Also released on Tuesday, the new 45nm AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor aims to boost the performance of mainstream consumer PCs. AMD said the key improvement is that the dual-core processors in its Phenom range can make use of better standards of memory. Until recently, they were limited to working with DDR2, but now they can work with the newer, faster memory standard DDR3. The improvement stems from being able to support both AM2+ and AM3 boards for DDR2 and DDR3 memory, according to AMD.

The Athlon II X2 250 has doubled the previous model's amount of L2 cache for each core, creating a total L2 cache of 2MB. This will provide 3GHz performance in affordable PCs, according to AMD.
Another performance boost comes from the optimization with Windows 7, AMD said.
Though the semiconductor market is proving a difficult source of profits for chipmakers, according to Jonathan Cassell, analyst at market researcher iSuppli, the processor market has never been more buoyant. Strong competition is being created by new CPU releases at all levels, from computers for high-end professional users to budget PCs.

One UK-based system builder put the launch into perspective. "AMD will boast about dual-core architecture and efficiency achievable through 45nm technology," said Richard Marsden, sales director at RealTime Distribution, a UK distributor which supplies AMD chips to system builders. "But the bottom line is that an AMD machine will give them 3GHz performance at an affordable price."

The AMD Athlon Processors History

Amd Athlon Processors History began with the original Athlon Classic, which is the first seventh-generation x86 processor and since it is the first, it remained to be the first performance lead over Intel for a couple of years.
It showed a lot of promise as it showed superior performance compared to the Pentium 3 which was the champion at that time. The second generation Athlon called The Thunderbird came along in year 2000. It had a speed ranging from 600 to 1400 MHz. AMD replaced the 512 KiB external reduced speed cache used by the Athlon Classic with 256 KiB of on-chip, full speed exclusive cache. The Thunderbird at this time, won over rival Pentium 3 but AMD did not stop there. AMD released The Palomino or the Athlon XP. XP meaning "Extreme Performance". Then AMD released The Thunderbird which is at 1.8 GHz. Then the fifth generation Athlon came along, Barton core processors, running at the same speed as the Thoroughbred predecessors.
Finally, the Mobile Athlon XP was introduced. It has lower power consumption, and lower heat production which is basically used for the notebook. AMD is not stopping and is still continuing to improve its processors as to beat it's rival Intel. See cpu-lab.com for more details on the AMD Processor.
AMD ex CEO Jerry Sanders vision was to create a "virtual gorilla" that would equip AMD to compete with Intel. A couple of years later, AMD released Athlon K7 processor. AMD got lots of benefits working with Motorola as AMD was able to refine copper interconnect manufacturing to the production stage one year earlier than Intel

Intel vs Amd

We have conducted plenty of CPU reviews in our time, but we just can't bring ourselves to slow things down. The release of Windows Vista and a round of price cuts by AMD prompted us to hatch a devious plan involving Vista, a new test suite full of multithreaded and 64-bit applications, fifteen different CPU configurations, and countless hours of lab testing. That plan has come to fruition in the form of a broad-based comparison of the latest processors from AMD and Intel, ranging from well under $200 to a cool grand, from two slow CPU cores to four fast ones, from the lowly Athlon 64 X2 4400+ and Core 2 Duo E6300 to the astounding Athlon 64 FX-74 and Core 2 Extreme QX6700.
So, how do the latest processors stack up in Windows Vista? Will a sub-$200 CPU suffice for your needs? Have price cuts allowed the Athlon 64 to catch up to the Core 2 Duo in terms of price-performance? What about power consumption and energy efficiency? Can any of these processors stand up under the weight of killer new games like Supreme Commander? Can I possibly squeeze any more questions into one paragraph? Keep reading for answers to all of these questions and more.
The matchups
The setup for this one is fairly simple. We're directly comparing processors from Intel at AMD at a range of price points. Intel has had a lock on the overall performance lead since the Core 2 Duo first hit the scene, but AMD has made clear its intention to maintain a competitive price-performance ratio. To do so, AMD will have to meet or beat each of the processors in Intel's current desktop lineup, which looks like so:
Model Clock speed Cores L2 cache (total) Fab process TDP Price
Core 2 Duo E6300 1.83GHz 2 2MB 65nm 65W $183
Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz 2 2MB 65nm 65W $224
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz 2 4MB 65nm 65W $316
Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz 2 4MB 65nm 65W $530
Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz 2 4MB 65nm 75W $999
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 4 8MB 65nm 105W $851
Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.66GHz 4 8MB 65nm 130W $999
Intel does offer lower cost options like the Core 2 Duo E4300 and its Celeron value-oriented processors, but our list includes the meat of the lineup.
AMD, on the other hand, offers a dizzying array of Athlon 64 X2 models, from 3600+ to 6000+, generally in increments of 200 (or is it 200+?). Not only that, but AMD often sells multiple products under the same performance-related model number, just to keep smug members of the general public from becoming overconfident. For instance, the Athlon 64 X2 4400+ comes in a 90nm "Toledo" flavor that runs at 2.2GHz, has 1MB of L2 cache per core, and is intended for Socket 939 motherboards. The X2 4400+ also comes in the form of a 65nm chip code-named "Brisbane" that runs at 2.3GHz, has 512K of L2 per core, and slips into Socket AM2 mobos. Several of these features—fab process, clock frequency, cache size, and socket/memory type—may vary within the same model number.
With that said, we've chosen the following members of the Athlon 64 lineup as the most direct competitors to their Core 2 counterparts. Because we live in the now, all of these are newer-style Socket AM2 processors:
Model Clock speed Cores L2 cache (total) Fab process TDP Price
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.3GHz 2 1MB 65nm 65W $170
Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz 2 1MB 65nm 65W $222
Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.8GHz 2 2MB 90nm 89W $326
Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz 2 2MB 90nm 125W $459
Athlon 64 FX-70 2.6GHz 4 4MB 90nm 125W x 2 $599
Athlon 64 FX-72 2.8GHz 4 4MB 90nm 125W x 2 $799
Athlon 64 FX-74 3.0GHz 4 4MB 90nm 125W x 2 $999
As you can see, AMD has a fairly direct answer for most members of the Core 2 range. Things start to get shaky at the high end, where the Athlon 64's lower performance takes its toll. The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ sells at a discount versus the Core 2 Duo E6700, and AMD has no answer to the Core 2 Extreme X6800, Intel's fastest dual-core processor. If you match up the two product lines against one another, the results look something like this:
Model Price Model Price
Core 2 Duo E6300 $183 Athlon 64 X2 4400+ $170
Core 2 Duo E6400 $224 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ $222
Core 2 Duo E6600 $316 Athlon 64 X2 5600+ $326
Core 2 Duo E6700 $530 Athlon 64 X2 6000+ $459
Core 2 Quad Q6600 $851 Athlon 64 FX-72 $799
Core 2 Extreme QX6700 $999 Athlon 64 FX-74 $999
So the comparisons are remarkably direct, by and large.
These things are never entirely simple, though, so we should roll out some caveats. One of the big ones involves those FX-series processors. You'll need two of them in order to populate a Quad FX motherboard, so they're priced (and listed above) in pairs. However, there's currently only one Quad FX motherboard available, and it costs about $350, which throws the value equation out of whack.
The value equation sometimes goes off-kilter the other way when AMD employs guerrilla price-war tactics like selling the Athlon 64 X2 4600+ for $125.99 on Newegg, well below the slower 4400+. AMD has several of these "Crazy Hector" deals going at Newegg right now, and none of them seem to involve the Athlon 64 models we've identified as direct competitors to specific Core 2 Duo models. That's probably an intentional facet of AMD's strategy. This practice throws a wrench in our nice, neat comparsion, but there's little we can do other than tell you about it.
One other thing we should tell you about is why we've included two versions of the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ in our testing. Regular readers may recall that we've already tested the 65nm version of the 5000+ against its 90nm predecessor and found that the 65nm one had lower power consumption. But the 65nm version also has a slower L2 cache, so we've tested the 65nm and 90nm chips head to head to see

2.93GHz Mobile Core 2 Duo

2.93GHz Mobile Core 2 Duo
2.93GHz Mobile Core 2 Duo
Leading chip maker Intel is expected to release a new Core 2 Duo CPU for portable computer systems sometime in Q1 next year. According to details currently made available, the Santa Clara, California-based company is going to deliver a faster-running mobile CPU, raising the performance level of its current high-speed Core 2 Duo processor, the T9600, which was just released last month.

The upcoming Core 2 Duo mobile CPU is said to deliver a core speed of 2.93GHz, up from the 2.8GHz on the company's current Core 2 Duo T9600. According to Fudzilla, chip maker Intel will release the T9800 CPU at a yet unannounced date in Q1 2009, by which time some users should have already gotten a chance at Intel's next-generation desktop CPUs, the Core i7.As with any officially unreleased product, details on the upcoming Intel mobile processor are rather scarce, but we can tell you that, aside from the higher clock rate, the new T9800 CPU is rather similar to Intel's T9600, as it features the same 1066MHz FSB and 6MB of cache. This means that there's going to be just a slight difference in performance between the two processors. Even so, some users out there might go the extra mile and choose the upcoming T9800 over the current T9600, despite an expected price tag of $530 at launch.

Unfortunately, this sums up just about every detail that is currently available on Intel's upcoming Core 2 Duo mobile processor. Further info should most likely emerge as the official unveiling is drawing near. However, most users will probably be more interested in the company's next-generation Core i7 processors, built on the Nehalem architecture. These new CPUs are said to deliver a new level of performance for upcoming desktop computer systems, and thus further increase Intel's market advantage over competitor AMD.

Acer Aspire

Acer’s Timeline range of notebooks spans the gamut from 13.3-inch ULV ultraportable to 15.6-inch mainstream laptop, promising prolonged battery life with an affordable price tag. The company sent over their Aspire Timeline 3810T, a 13.3-inch 1.4GHz ULV machine with heady runtime estimates and an $899 sticker, for SlashGear to try out; check out the full review after the cut.
The display is an LED-backlit 13.3-inch panel, running at 1366 x 768. It’s a crisp, readable screen with less glare than you’d imagine from when the Timeline is switched off, but – like with other ultraportables we’ve used lately – we found ourselves wishing it offered a slightly higher resolution. When you can get the same number of pixels in an 11.6-inch netbook for a few hundred dollars less, you find yourself asking for more.
Still, what the Timeline 3810T did deliver on is runtime. Acer claim you can manage a full eight hours on the standard battery, and much to our surprise with moderate use and sensible backlight settings it lasted for roughly six hours. Shut off the WiFi, turn the brightness right down and limit yourself to the most basic of Office tasks and you’ll probably see that eight hours.
Performance won’t light any fires, with the 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 and 2GB of DDR3 memory primed for prolonging runtime rather than heavy crunching, but the Timeline is still capable of multitasking with a few browser windows and an Office document or two open. It scores fairly well on GeekBench 64-bit with total score of 2281, comparable to Lenovo T400s (2864).This isn’t the machine for graphically intensive tasks, however, as the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD falls short of anything approaching reasonable gaming performance. Still, the 500GB hard-drive is impressively capacious, and goes some way to making up for the absence of any sort of optical drive.Build quality overall is reasonably high, with the aluminum lid and creak-free plastics impressing. It’s a demure machine stylistically, compared to rivals such as MSI’s X-Slim X340, but the Timeline delivers a sturdier typing experience with no flex from the flat, well-spaced chiclet keys. The trackpad supports basic multitouch gestures such as rotation and pinch-zooming, but we were disappointed by the single, centrally-hinged mouse button bar that proved unduly stiff.
Connectivity is for the most case good, with both VGA and HDMI outputs, three USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, audio in/out and gigabit ethernet, but there’s no standard Bluetooth to go along with the WiFi a/b/g/n. That’s an option, as is integrated WWAN or WiMAX connectivity.
The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T is a decent, portable notebook, that offers business or home users a fair balance of size and capabilities. We liked the standard gigabit ethernet and the HDMI port – though we might be tempted to swap it for standard Bluetooth if we had the choice – and appreciated the battery life, even if you do have to dial down your expectations in order to achieve it.
As with all of these ULV ultraportables, the Timeline 3810T hovers in-between CULV netbooks and full-sized notebooks, and it’s arguable whether you’re getting significant functionality over the cheaper models. Still, for its highly usable keyboard and sturdy build, the Timeline 3810T does at least feel as though you’re getting something solid for your money
