Microsoft first introduced itself into the console race with the launch of the original Xbox console. Although it was partly a failure, the Xbox 360 console has more than made up for it. Having made strong sales in America and Europe the Xbox 360 sales have already crossed the 10 million mark. Microsoft is expecting total sales to cross 15 million by June.

The PS3 console though is slowly catching up in sales. It boasts of a 60GB HDD for its premier edition and also has support for HDMI. This makes the PS3 an attractive option as well. With Nintendo Wii targeting a totally different market, Microsoft is taking no chances and going all out to win the HD console race.

To edge out its competition Microsoft has decided to launch a 3rd version which will also be its most expensive console version i.e. the ‘Xbox 360 Elite’. Codenamed Zephyr it will feature a (more…)

AMD R600 will be the first DirectX 10 card to be released by them. It is a monstrous GPU with a transistor count of over 500 million. It will also feature a 512mbit internal ring bus. The R600 GPU is capable of decoding HD movies at 45 Mbps. Currently CPUs manage to decode at 25 Mbps and the current GPUs do not support this feature. Inclusion of an onboard hi-definition audio controller is also a possibility. Because of the complex architecture, it has a twelve layer Print Circuit Board design which is absurdly thick. This may provide some challenges installing into computers. The OEM version of the card is about 12 inches long, while the retail version is close to 10 inches. The higher end XT versions will feature (more…)

Over the last century, computers have dramatically reduced in size. From the size of a room, to fitting on a desk, it is all down the parts inside becoming smaller and smaller. It is no wonder then, that the impact of nanotechnology on computers has been huge. Implementing nanotechnology with computers will result in not only lighter components, thus smaller and lighter computers, but also the speed of them.

It’s obvious when you think about it. Smaller technology is going to result in lighter frames, and then if you really start to think about it, it is also going to result in faster machines. The smaller the distance from one point to another, the faster transmissions can be sent around circuit boards. Yet aside from this insightful piece of knowledge, a special type of nanotechnology has already been created in the form of ferroelectric crystals. The amazing properties of these and the impact they are having on the computing industry are not just their size, but also the special properties that they have. (more…)
