IBM announced a breakthrough in computer memory technology

IBM Thursday announced a breakthrough in computer memory technology, which may lead to the development of solid-state chips that can store as much data as NAND flash technology but with 100 times the performance and vastly greater lifespan.

Currently, NAND flash memory products, such as SSDs, have write rates as high as 2Gbit/sec.

IBM said it has produced phase-change memory (PCM) chips that can store two bits of data per cell without data corruption problems, something that has plagued PCM development from the start.

Like NAND flash memory, which is used in solid state drives (SSDs) and is embedded in computers like Apple's MacBook Air, PCM is nonvolatile -- meaning it retains data after its power supply is shut down.

Unlike NAND flash, PCM memory does not require that existing data be marked for deletion prior to new data being written to it -- a process known to as an erase-write cycle. Erase-write cycles slow NAND flash performance and, over time, wear it out, giving it a lifespan that ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 write cycles in consumer products and up to 100,000 cycles in enterprise-class products.

Other Business News:

PCM can sustain up to 5 million write cycles, according to IBM.

"If you can write to flash 3,000 times, that will outlive most cell phones and MP3 players, but that's certainly not good enough for the enterprise that does that in an hour," said Christopher Sciacca, manager of communications for IBM Research in Zurich.

As organizations and consumers increasingly embrace cloud-computing models and services, ever more powerful and efficient, yet affordable storage technologies are needed, according to Haris Pozidis, manager of memory and probe technologies at IBM Research.

Pozidis said that for the past five months, teams of IBM scientists have been testing a multi-level cell (MLC) chip that's capable of storing two and eventually three bits of data, indicating that it can achieve a level of reliability that is suitable for practical applications.

Besides applications for enterprises and in the cloud, PCM may also serve as an extension for DRAM.

While DRAM will continue to be used as the closest memory device to the CPU for the most active data, Pozidis said, PCM, with its greater capacity, can be used for less frequently accessed data. "The PCM, which is much larger, acts as a repositor. If the data becomes hot again it will move back to the DRAM," he said.

In another scenario, Pozidis said, the CPU can talk directly to the PCM, but it thinks its talking to the DRAM using a controller. "Again, the hot data speaks to DRAM and not so hot data speaks to the PCM," he said.

AMD Radeon HD 7450M Graphics Card used in Dell Vostro 3350 notebook

The graphics card in question is the AMD Radeon HD 7450M, which Dell says it features 160 shader cores paired together with GDDR5 memory for a total bandwidth of 13GB/sec.

Even though there is the possibility that the name of the GPU might have been misspelled, the specs posted don't seem to resemble any of AMD's current HD 6000 mobile graphics cores.

Apart from the Radeon HD 7000 graphics card, the 13.3-inch Dell Vostro 3350 notebook is nothing out of the ordinary as users can configure it with one of three Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core i3-2310M, i5-2410M, and i7-2620M) which can be paired together with up to 6GB of system memory.

Depending on the CPU chosen, as well as the other hardware options, the Dell Vostro 3350 can be purchased for as low as 489€ while the Radeon HD 7450M comes as a 60€ upgrade.

This sighting of the Radeon HD 7450M seems to confirm the rumors we reported about earlier today, which stated that AMD is getting ready to launch the Radeon HD 7000 GPU series, code named Southern Islands, in the third quarter of this year.

From what we know until now, the Radeon HD 7000 GPU series are based on the same VLIW4 arrangement introduced with the Cayman architecture (AMD HD 6900-series), but these are built with the 28nm manufacturing process.

The use of this fabrication node enabled AMD to lower the power requirements of the Southern Islands chips, while also increasing their graphics performance.

Earlier this month, an AMD official confirmed that the company will release a new series of graphics cores by the end of this year, but declined to reveal any other details.

Dell Germany has recently updated the product page for the 13-inch Vostro 3350 notebook, and, judging by its specs list, this seems to be the first laptop to get an AMD Radeon HD 7000-series graphics card based on the Southern Islands architecture.

AMD Fusion A-Series make Better Battery Life

http://bestlaptopbattery.co.uk/battery-wiki/-amd-fusion-a-seri...

AMD has released a new series of APUs, the AMD Fusion A-Series with AMD Vision technology. The A series of APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) is designed to be used in desktop replacement laptops, while keeping the price of the laptop at around $599, and not above $1000. The A series even promises to be more powerful than Intel’s competing Core i3 Processors in terms of multimedia performance, while managing to be anywhere from $50 to $75 cheaper. In a nutshell, AMD is trying to shake up the desktop replacement category in a similar fashion to the way they are taking on the ultraportable category with the AMD Fusion chips that they have been packing inside laptops like the popular HP Pavilion Dm1z and Sony VAIO Y series.

Sony's Vaio Z Laptop will be a category killer

For business travellers who want a slim and light laptop with desktop-grade power and features, Sony's Vaio Z could be the dream machine.

With a chassis manufactured from carbon fibre rather than plastic or metal, this sleek 13.3" notebook weighs in at only 1.2kg. It's only 16.7mm thin -- less than the height of two iPhone 4s stacked on top of each other -- yet it runs on a full-speed Intel Core i7 processor.

Here are the six reasons we think this notebook will be a 'category killer' when it's released in Australia. (And before you ask: Sony Australia hasn't announced the local availability date or price, but we know they've already been demonstrating the laptop to many companies in Australia so it can't be far off.)

1. Thunderbolt media dock

The Vaio Z includes the new Thunderbolt port which provides a high-speed link between the laptop and external devices. The difference between Thunderbolt and the common USB 2.0 ports is like comparing an autobahn to a suburban street.

Sony will offer an optional Vaio Z "Power Media Dock 2" which uses Thunderbolt to turn the laptop into a powerful desktop-grade PC.

The dock includes a high-speed AMD Radeon HD graphics card which takes over from the notebook's integrated Intel graphics for heavy-duty work such as CAD and multimedia applications (as well as some serious gaming during your downtime). There's also your choice of a DVD burner or a Blu-Ray drive plus extra HDMI and USB ports.

2. Optional second battery for 14 hours battery life

On top of the Vaio's claimed seven hour battery life, you can buy an optional slim 'sheet' battery which Sony says will double the Vaio's battery life to 14 hours on a single charge – long enough to work non-stop on a flight from Australia to the US.

Given how much notebook companies typically inflate battery-life claims we'd suggest the inbuilt and second battery are more likely to deliver around five hours each (especially if you're using wi-fi) so this will be the first thing Australian Business Traveller tests when we get our hands on a Vaio Z.

Other Business News:

Sony vgp-bps8 battery

Sony vgp-bps2a battery

Another boon for travellers is that the sheet battery sits under the laptop rather than being a bolt-on lump at the back. It can also be charged separately from the notebook, and fitted without having to remove the internal battery or turn the machine off.

3. Intel Core i7 processor

Forget about low-voltage processors which trade high performance for longer battery life. Sony's rationale was that with battery life already at seven hours there was no reason not to go for a full-speed Intel Core i7 processor.

This means performance of the machine will be extremely snappy -- as good as a full-size 15" notebook.

It's a testament to Sony's engineering prowess, too, because these chips usually produce too much heat for a slimnotebook to vent effectively. Sony says it is using two fans to keep the system cool.

4. SSD storage

Sony has ditched slow mechanical hard drives, which are a serious performance bottleneck, for lightning-fast solid state disks (SSDs).

These use a supercharged type of flash memory -- a cousin of what's in digital camera memory cards and on USB memory sticks.

In fact, the Vaio Z packs two SSD modules which are used simultaneously to ensure even faster speed than a single drive can provide. The Vaio Z can be ordered with up to 256GB of SSD storage.

AMOLED screens impact Phone Battery Life

With AMOLED screens becoming increasingly popular on mobile phones, particularly Samsung models such as the Nexus S and Galaxy S 2, it's useful to know there's a way of reducing the impact they have on battery life.

Using Android's built-in system analysis tools, blogger Steve Mould set about discovering how much his battery was being drained by the screen itself. He then went on to find out whether using darker wallpapers, themes and apps would help to reduce power usage.

Guess what? It did.

It's worth mentioning this only works on OLED-based displays and not the currently predominant LCD/LED displays. That's because the backlight is always lit, regardless of what's being displayed. To achieve a black pixel, the light is blocked rather than turned off. In an OLED system each pixel is self-powered, which means black pixels are unlit, saving power.

Other Business News:

The most significant results were found by measuring the difference in battery usage between a Nexus S left for two hours displaying either a white or black screen. The bright screen caused the battery to drop 71 per cent compared to just 12.2 per cent for the dark screen.

If you like looking at a lot of equations, head over to the SHIFT_beeb blog and take a look. It's not an exact science, and in any case every user will get different results based on how they use their phone. If you're running a load of processor-intensive apps it don't matter if your wallpaper is black or white.

There are plenty of other ways of improving battery life. Reducing the display brightness below 50 per cent will work regardless of the screen type, as will turning off features you're not using at the time, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and ensuring background apps are behaving themselves.

How much lower charge voltages prolong battery life

http://bestlaptopbattery.co.uk/battery-wiki/how-much-lower-cha...

Chargers for cellular phones, laptops and digital cameras bring the Li-ion battery to 4.20V/cell. This allows maximum runtime, and the consumer wants nothing less than optimal use of the battery capacity. The industry, on the other hand, is more concerned with longevity and prefers lower voltage thresholds. Satellites and electric vehicles are examples where longevity is important.

Dell will host its 2011 analyst meeting in Austin

Dell will host its 2011 analyst meeting in Austin Wednesday.
With signs of slowing economic growth and more cautious commentary from tech companies over the past few weeks, we believe investors will be interested in how Dell (ticker: DELL) characterizes the current environment. Specifically, investors will be focused on PC trends, demand in the enterprise, public spending patterns (25% of sales), thoughts on Europe (about 20% to 25%), component-cost trends and further details around Dell's fiscal 2012 outlook.

In our universe, Flextronics International (FLEX) (rated at Sell) is the largest supplier to Dell (a top-10 customer in fiscal.
Dell, the world’s second-largest personal-computer maker, gets about 70 percent of sales from PCs and related products. The company is making acquisitions, broadening its product line and hiring sales staff to expand beyond its roots. Efforts include beefing up the company’s data centers to take advantage of the growth of so-called cloud computing, or the delivery of software and information through the Internet.
The company plans to spend $1 billion in the next two years to open 10 data centers that will make it easier to sell cloud- computing services to customers.
“It’s time for Dell to get into the conversation about the business benefit of these technologies,” Steve Schuckenbrock, president of Dell services, said in an interview earlier this month.
Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, is aiming to double the size of its server, storage, networking and storage business to $30 billion in sales through acquisitions and increased spending on research and development. The company could also expand its presence in security and systems-management software, Michael Dell said today.
Global PC shipments unexpectedly fell in the first quarter, and consumers have been curtailing purchases of desktop and laptop computers in favor of tablets.
Dell rose 7 cents to $16.01 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have gained 18 percent this year.

HP's webOS could find footing among OEM partners

Samsung, Motorola and other makers of high-end Android smartphones have become frustrated enough with Google's mobile operating system that it might open the door for another mobile platform player: HP's webOS.
Samsung, HTC and Motorola are the leading Android smartphone makers, with all three enjoying market share gainsversus Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and RIM's (NASDAQ:RIMM) Blackberry devices in the past two years.
However, the advent of low-cost Android devices may be gradually changing the sentiment of good will toward Android.

Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdry said Motorola, Samsung and Sony are starting to feel that their premium handsets and tablets have little-to-no differentiation in the eyes of the customer against $20 Android phones from Huawei, or $150 tablets from ZTE.
These vendors further fear that Android and its gross fragmentation across multiple OS versions, carriers and devices may dilute their global brand.
Sony, Motorola and Samsung are "extremely worried" that customers are beginning to pick devices based on Apple's iOS instead of their Android phones and tablets, Chowdry said.
"As things stand today, Android has probably peaked, and probably will start showing slow and gradual decline," Chowdry added.
This opens the door for HP, whose CEO Leo Apotheker has said the company might be amenable to licensing webOS to these handset and tablet makers.
Related Business News:

WebOS would enable only two or three reference designs for only three or four OEM partners to limit the fragmentation that exists within the Android ecosystem, Chowdry suggested.
The analyst believes HP could license webOS for somewhere in the range of $50 to $75 per OEM smartphone or tablet, enabling the company and OEMs partners such as Samsung, Motorola and Sony to drive their premium brand at the expense of low-cost rivals such as Huawei and ZTE.
Moreover, since webOS is not free, the customer may be willing to pay for applications, making HP potentially a more viable OS option than Android to Apple iOS and the popular App Store.
However, tech analysts believe Chowdry's scenarios are unlikely, citing Samsung's strong commitments to Android on smartphones and Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablets, among other factors.
"While anything is possible with Samsung (they seem to do one of everything ever made), it's unlikely HP would be that anxious to license WebOS, and it's less likely that Samsung would want it without having a significant ecosystem in place to promote it (e.g., lots of apps and user demand)," industry analyst Jack Gold told eWEEK in an email.
Gold added that he doesn't see WebOS making it as a general Android OS replacement for vendors other than HP, which will, no doubt, push WebOS as being superior to Honeycomb.
IDC analyst Al Hilwa said there would be interest in an alternative to Android or Windows from other OEMs, but the value proposition has to be clearly defined.
"The key question for the platform owner is how to maintain a unified personality for the platform without allowing OEMs to fragment it with their own user interfaces and application frameworks," said Hilwa. "My guess is some will be willing to look at an alternative, but it is hard to get the formula right."
