There was a lot of hay made about how a 4-way Xeon system with the IBM X3 chipset beat out a similarly configured 4-way Opteron system from HP (albeit with much greater cost, $1.83M vs. $0.48M). IBM ran the TPC-C tests with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit DB2; HP did it with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit...

"FinFETs won't be used. High-k and metal gates won't be used. Companies will not necessarily be using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates. But the one technology that will be indispensable at the 45 nm node is strain engineering — and lots of it. " Semiconductor International - Options Narrow at...

Hi there I am trying to add memory to an IBM PS/1 Model 2123 The IBM PS/1 Model 2123 has 2 MB of non removable RAM and two connectors for 72-pin SIMMs. From what I have found on the web, it can handle SIMMs up to 8 MB each, giving a total of (2 * 8) + 2 = 18 MB of RAM. I have tried installing...

A rumor is that yet another x86 startup company (as in Cyrix) has opened shop on Freedom Circle (which by no coincidence, is next-door to Transmeta). Dozens of tech companies tried to compete in the x86 arena and all failed (including AMD in terms of profitability). The twist is that this x86 CPU...

It looks like Both Intel and AMD are following Alpha, and in almost lock step time differentials. It seems like the Alpha came out with some concepts and then about 2-3 years later, it's incorporated into an AMD processor, and about 8 years later it's incorporated into an Intel processor. This...
