The end of the graphics board, integration with GPU

THE END OF THE GRAPHICS BOARD, INTEGRATION WITH GPU

In the CPU codenamed "Nehalem" generation, code-named the "Swift" generation, Intel is likely to measure the fusion of native CPU and GPU AMD. Because AMD is the acquisition of ATI is a graphics card manufacturer already, this story fairly realistic.

In addition, since 75% of the notebook PC users not equipped with a separate graphics board, it is so that you can aim at this layer. Thing with possible and for example, apply to the graphics processing core 4 of the 16 core.

Both companies will be released in 2009.

 

Speed of further external devices with USB 3.0 appearance

  

Device that supports USB connection in excess of 2 billion what to date has been sold, It is said that success story undoubtedly the biggest in the history of computing.

However, these days when terabytes of hard disk is becoming a major, it seems to be becoming insufficient USB transfer speed of existing 480 Mbit / s. Therefore, expectations are a host USB 3.0, official name next to "Super Speed ​​USB", maximum processing capacity theoretical connector 4.8 gigabit per second what. To put it simply, it is the speed that can be transferred in one second the whole CD-R1 sheet.

Appeared to have realized the communication speed of 10 times that of traditional "USB3.0" is - GIGAZINE

Is that there is backward compatible This USB 3.0, 100mA, high power it was a 500mA is low power of conventional current supply capacity, but rose to 100 ~ 900mA in USB 3.0. Therefore, it is such as to charge more quickly iPod, so far seems to be that the only USB connection is driven also devices that could not be driven by a power shortage.

USB 3.0 specification was completed shortly, it is the appearance scheduled for the public in 2010.
