Asustek, popularly known as the “Asus’, is planning to launch its Linux Desktop PCs in this year only. The company is presently also marketing the popular ‘Xandros Linux-powered Asus Eee PC 4G ultramobile PC’.
Asus will be introducing an all new exclusive range of ‘Linux-powered PCs: the ‘E-DT desktop PC’, ‘E-TV’, and the ‘E-Monitor’ within the year 2008 only.
The “E-DT” is expected to be hitting the markets sometime during mat this year. It will be an ‘Intel Celeron Processor’ based desktop PC in the beginning. Subsequent versions of this machine will also have Intel’s forthcoming ‘Shelton Architecture’. These future versions would be based on the ‘Diamondville Processors’ of the Intel. Intel is designing the ‘Diamondville’ specifically for the low-cost laptops. Intel is also designing its own “classmate PC” targeting the student community. The E-DT PC s will also be having the Intel’s 945 graphic chip set in the desktop PC.

‘Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)’ introduced an innovative, advanced ‘two-chip graphics card’ exclusively for the gamers on Monday. The company expects that the new graphics card would help it taking a lead both in price as well as the performance over its archrival ‘Nvidia’.
The new graphics card,” ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2” is a combination of two different graphic processors on one board. This innovative attempt has helped in achieving the double performance of the single chip, the ‘Radeon HD 3870’, which was launched by AMD in the month of November last year.
According to AMD, this “latest graphics card tops a Teraflop, or 1 trillion floating point operations per second.” Such a high ‘operation-speed’ is almost equal to the speed of performing nearly one trillion mathematical calculations per second, the company claims.

Tags: Nanochip, Terabyte Memory Chip Hard Drive
“Nanochip Inc.”, a Fremont, California based chip manufacturing company is running the process of developing its first ‘terabyte memory chips’. The company intends to combine the ‘phase-change media’ to the ‘cantilever read or write heads’ that would be controlled with the help of a ‘micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)’.
Nanochip’s terabyte memory chips will be using the conventional, DRAM-like interfaces. These chips would be functioning internally just like a multiple-head hard drive. In this hard drive, the slaved MEMS cantilevers will move in unison over their array of bit cells to read and write phase-change media.’ Nanochip’ claims that the first prototypes of these terabyte memory chips will be rolled out sometime during the year 2009. Commercial production and open sale will begin in the year 2010, said Nanochip Inc.
“We are well on-track to meet our original schedule of reaching full commercialization of our first product offering by 2010“, said Gordon Knight, CEO of Nanochip Inc.
The size of the potential bit cell terabyte memory chips from ‘Nanochip’ would be measuring almost 2 by 3 nanometers. The company is accordingly accounting for its terabyte-per-chip goal. Initial prototypes of these terabyte memory chips will however be measuring about 15-by-15 nanometers for capacities around 100 Gbytes per chip in while rolling out in the year 2010.

Seagate Technology is almost on the verge of introducing an updated ‘Momentus laptop disk drive’ that will be a boost in the capacity of the drive from 160GB to 250GB.
Seagate’s new ‘2.5-inch Momentus 5400.4 version’ of the laptop disk drive will be having two disk platters along with an 8MB of cache. The speed of spinning will be 5,400 rpm, according to Seagate. The company has also started with shipping of this new version of the storage device for laptops.
This new version of the laptop disk drive is based upon the perpendicular magnetic recording technology. It also offers a 3Gbit per second interface. “It will be a sizeable jump from the Momentus 5400.3′s transfer rate of 1.5Gbit per second”, says Joni Clark, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Seagate. Seagate introduced its existing 160GB Momentus 5400.3 for the first time in the year 2006.

Nano-technology is growing faster with computers and Intel has recently started its latest 45-nanometer manufacturing process. This week Intel launched its first notebook processors based on the 45-nanometer manufacturing process. This process has enabled Intel to manufacture products with more power and less energy than to the previous models.
Intel this week introduced five mobile chips, four server processors and seven desktop products. This new nano-range of products is completely lead and halogen free. Intel has expressed its commitment for environment concerns this way.
Intel says,” these products deliver higher power-to-performance ratios by packing more transistors in a chip by shrinking their size to 45 nm. The previous generation chips had 60-nm transistors”.
Intel is launching this range of nano-products at the ‘International Consumer Electronics show, Las Vegas’. The company will also announce the hardware and software partners that have agreed to support Intel’s upcoming platform, “Menlow”, for mobile Internet devices.

‘Fujitsu’ announced the introduction of its new laptop that is expected to take precedence over one of the rules of notebook physics. This new laptop would be featuring a bigger screen than a similar predecessor model, but it is much lighter.
This technological shift and has been made possible for an important reason that it is basically based on a fundamental change in screen technology from fluorescent-backlit to LED-backlit.
Paul Moore, Senior Director of mobile product marketing for ‘Fujitsu’ did disclose in a ‘ray-statement’ to David De Jean for his story headlined “The Future Of Mobile Tech: Next Year’s Notebooks Will Be Worth Waiting For”, “ The future, it turns out, is now”. Paul Moore was speaking in generalized way about the display technology in the “LifeBook S6510” that ‘Fujitsu’ announced recently.
