Toshiba has introduced the first hard drive measuring 2.5 inches which reached 1TB of storage capacity. These drives are included in the series MQ01ABD, using technology to achieve 500GB/platter 1TB capacity in a design with a thickness of only 9.5m which is standard for notebooks and other small devices.

This new technology is said to increase the quantity of data stored per inch over 37 percent when compared with the generation of 2.5-inch hard drive before. Capacity building also comes with improved data transfer speed, noise and power efficiency.

Toshiba expects MQ01ABD hard drive series will begin production in August 2011, but Toshiba has not announced details of current prices.

Nowadays most people have felt comfortable wearing a physical keyboard. Alternatively, they use a virtual keyboard that is more efficient and practical. But there are other technologies currently offered by IBM relating to the keyboard.

IBM has patented the new technology, a touch screen keyboard that can adapt itself to the anatomy of its users. This keyboard can reposition the button and adjust the size and position of the user’s finger.

First it needs to calibrate finger keyboard and typing style of users. After the calibration is done, then the system will continue to monitor the use of a keyboard all the time. Furthermore, the system will determine the most frequently used patterns that will affect change in the position and the button.

Given the touch screen keyboard illustration released by IBM, it seems there will be no significant changes. Location of A remains under Q and E. Changes only on the distance between the keys that becomes wider. But the challenge is how to make the customers interested in this toucscreen keyboard. As is known, that the keyboard uses a user-based approach. This means that users must adapt in advance with this keyboard.

Toward the end of last summer, Intel has begun testing a program with a Pentium G6951 is designed to see how consumers respond to the CPU is upgradeable. And over time, the company that is preparing the release of both of these, now seems to have had success with a pilot program that this time based on Sandy Bridge architecture.

G6951 Pentium ranks which have been marketed on a small number of existing systems, such as Gateway SX2841, and consumers have the option to upgrade the CPU without doing a physical change, but only by purchasing a special card. Once the code on the card validated by Intel server, customers were given a new processor firmware is turned back on some of its features are disabled by the producers concerned.

In the case of the Pentium G6951, the process is open support for Hyper-Threading as well as some of Level 3 cache memory is disabled.

Based on findings by the publication of the document Intel CPU-World is now revealed that the supplier of the Santa Clara chip giant has decided to take the same approach with the presence of G622 Pentium processor.

“The tools that identify external silicone string brand can also see a change: for example, upgrade the performance of an Intel Pentium processor changes G622 to G622 Intel Pentium processor with a large number of G622 (which is ready to upgrade) to G693 (after upgrade)”.

So far, not yet known what kind of CPU features in the Pentium G622 which can be opened via the firmware. Besides the possibility of not only Intel’s Sandy Bridge processor upgradeable are disclosed, and may be, the same treatment could also be applied to other Intel processors that have not been released as i3-2102, if seen by the naming scheme used for this CPU.

Bulldozer processor made by AMD’s existence seems to imply its own concerns on the part of Intel’s main competitor. So as the action over Intel for this inconvenience, making a major competitor AMD is planning to re-release of a new LGA 1366 CPU, better known as Core i7 Extreme Edition 995X-based 6-core processing and capable of 3.6 GHz. And this plan will be realized also reportedly entered the third quarter of 2011.

Latest chip built using Intel’s 32nm architecture Gulftown and packing no less than six processing cores that are supported by the presence of Hyper-Threading technology and 12MB of L3 cache memory that’s shared. As previously mentioned, the frequency of operation of this processor has been set at 3.6 GHz and can reach a maximum of 3.86 GHz with the activation of the existing Turbo Boost.

On the other hand, basically the chip was also carrying similar specifications to the model of the popular current processor is an Intel Core i7 990X, which together consist of 6.4GT / s QPI links, and supports the SSE instruction AVX 4.2 and the memory controller tri- channel integrated DDR3-1066. Even this processor TDP is estimated at 130W.

Regarding the date when the release is still a puzzle so far. But when referring to the publications emanating from the official site Donanim Haber recently, has shown that Intel will launch the new processor when entering the third quarter of 2011. And the price is reportedly for $ 999.

Meanwhile, for the existence of an Intel LGA 2011 first built in the Sandy Bridge architecture-E high-performance reportedly also will soon be launched into the fourth quarter of 2011. And the price is offered for $ 1000 for LGA 1366 platform EOL like this.
