The Xebra, which comes as a car or truck, is a little bit like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. It has three wheels, comes in …
Intel rolls out 45nm microprocessors
Intel has recently released sixteen new chips that incorporate the 45nm Hafnium-based high-k metal gate transistors which have been proven to be smaller, faster and more eco-friendly than previous generations. According to Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel, he thinks that this new process is a major breakthrough as the biggest transistor advancement in 40 years. In addition, this improvement is tipped to further extend Moore’s Law - at least for a little while longer when other folks thought that it is done and over with already.
These new processors managed to cram in a whopping 420 million transistors into each individual dual core chip, while each quad core chip has double that amount - which translates to nearly a 100% increase in transistor density compared to previous models. Both the Intel Core 2 Extreme and Xeon processors also hold the distinction of being the first to be manufactured on the 45 nanometer scale - a move that sees performance being boosted to unprecedented levels while lowering power consumption, a step that ought to go down well with folks who think that PCs consume way too much power than they should.
A dozen new quad-core chips will feature clock speeds that range between 2GHz and 3.20GHz, featuring front side bus speeds of up to 1600MHz, while cache sizes have reached an amazing 12MB in size. Not only that, three new dual-core chips boast clock speeds of up to 3.40GHz, a front side bus speed of up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 6MB. As for the 45nm Hi-k Intel Xeon processors, they are compatible with server platforms using the Intel 5000 chipset family. Three other platform solutions that support the new 45nm processors are:
- The Intel 5400 chipset-based platform (previously codenamed “Stoakley”) that is optimized for high-bandwidth applications like high-performance computing
(HPC).
-The Intel 5100 Memory Controller Hub chipset and Intel ICH-9R I/O controller (previously codenamed “Cranberry Lake”). These are cost-optimized solutions
that support either one or two processors and also provide reduced power consumption using native DDR2 memory.
- The Intel 3200 chipset-based platform (previously codenamed “Garlow”) that is specifically designed for single-processor entry servers.

CipherLab launches 9400 Series Industrial Mobile Computer
CipherLab has just launched its 9400 Series Industrial Mobile Computer, making it the second CipherLab product to support the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. It has been specially designed to provide “wireless anywhere” mobility via compliance with all popular wireless communications platforms - this means you will be able to hold “conversations” with other devices via Bluetooth, WiFi and Quad-band EDGE RF. In addition, the 9400 makes life a whole lot easier by simplifying the tasks of those working in the retail, logistics, warehouse, transportation and field sales/services industries.
A powerful yet user-friendly mobile computer, the 9400 delivers industry-leading features such as a built-in digital camera, multi-form data input (touch screen or keyboard), multi-scanning options and the ability to read and write RFID tags. It leads the industry with up to eight hours of battery life in WLAN mode and surpasses drop impact standards – important considerations for the more demanding conditions of the warehouse or field-use environments. And, because the 9400 incorporates familiar Windows graphics and gives users the option of creating custom applications or accessing current Web-based applications, it drastically reduces training time requirements.
According to Robert Hossary, vice president Americas for CipherLab, “No one understands the data capture needs of the retail, warehouse, and field sales/services industries better than CipherLab. The 9400 offers the features that matter most: multi-modal wireless for total mobility, rugged construction and a choice of a linear imager, 2D imager or laser scanner. With CipherLab’s high manufacturing standards, there’s simply not a better or more affordable Windows CE mobile industrial computer on the market today.”
Further product specifications include:
Interested parties will be able to get hold of the 9400 sometime in Q1 2008, with production beginning at the end of 2007.
