It would be the Galaxy S3 of Samsung...

Leak of rigor before the announcement in good and due form of the Galaxy S3 of Samsung.

Go, history of wait until the Samsung of future Conference during which the manufacturer will throw the veil on its new Galaxy S3, here is a photo which is now the turn of the Web and who would be (you you in would have doubted) this famous Galaxy S3.

The design would look like not bad to the Galaxy Nexus. The screen would be "4.7. The phone would have a LED notification. The embedded processor is a quad-core. The photo sensor would be 12 megapixels. All would be under Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich. The "Home" button would be maintained. And the terminal would be the GT-i9300 reference...

Phew, overdose of conditional! Will in any case, whether the good Galaxy S3, picture or not, the be that tomorrow .

NVIDIA would that Intel seriously its ARM chips

By producing his ARM chips in Intel plants, NVIDIA could take a decisive advantage, but the first person not the ear hears him.

According to XbitLabs resumed our colleagues from Tom's Hardware, NVIDIA would currently seek to push Intel to burn ARM chips in its factories. It would in any case be the desire of the NVIDIA CEO who saw an opportunity to improve the process of engraving of ARM chips while casters such as TSMC or GlobalFoundries have not yet perfectly mastered the process of engraving on 28 nm, while Intel is poised to launch its tri-gate processor engraved 22 nm.

Engraved 22 nm, ARM chips could indeed be faster, consume less energy and release less heat... but also more competition to x 86 Intel processors. However, it is known that Intel has produced ARM chips for its own account in its factories in the past. However, Intel responds in the negative to these rumours, explaining that he has well keep its advance in the matter and exploit its know-how on 22 nm to impose its own products which is logical. Especially as Intel grows its new processors Medfield, destined for competitors of the SoC ARM and mobility markets.

NVIDIA cannot a priori rely on Intel to help pass Qualcomm and its SnapDragon S4 which are engraved 28 nm. It is also the ARM chips to take advantage of the more fine etching, since the Tegra 3 (NVIDIA) and Omap 4 (Texas Instruments) are engraved in 40 nm by TSMC, while the Exynos (Samsung) and A5 (Apple) are engraved in 45 nm by Samsung.

Amazon, Nokia and Microsoft would like RIM. Is another alternative possible?

In a difficult situation, RIM succumb to sirens of a redemption? Unless that a takeover bid put itself in place? Or that the Canadian manufacturer is another way to be relaunch?

According to several sources, Amazon, Nokia and Microsoft would all three competing to make their entrance to the capital of the Canadian RIM blackberries have more rating as was still the case a few years ago. It must be said that the action of RIM is down, facilitating the possibility of a takeover bid. "Well informed" people if it according to Reuters, say that Amazon - who had studied the possibility of a takeover of RIM last summer - continues to closely follow this trail.

Of course, any interested company made any comment on these rumours. This is not the case of Nokia and Microsoft, seen as potential buyers, and even via a hypothetical offers grouped because the two firms highly related today following the agreement signed between them around the Windows Phone. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is an idea that someone in the head of the two giants since RIM is at its lowest course for eight years.

Financial quarterly reports disturbing, disappointing sales of PlayBook, global network outages BlackBerry which fuelled the grumbles smartphones RIM holders, not to mention the BB OS 10 delay which is more expected before end of 2012... The image of the Canadian manufacturer is the lowest. But there may be another solution for RIM, outside a decision-making participation or a takeover. This is to provide licensed its operating system to other manufacturers. HTC and Samsung would be takers for the latest news. But then again, it is that of rumours.

Samsung would stop netbooks

Are netbooks they dead? After a minor actor (Sony), it is the turn of Samsung - according to our colleagues from Blogee - stop netbooks as such. The society is at the basis of a device that is very well sold (with reason), the NC10.

Without known the exact reasons, even if competition tablets - which is what we think - and the delays to Intel with the next Atom are two valid reasons.

Samsung abandons that a market: one 10-inch netbooks - the firm is never out of this framework - and will focus on traditional PCs, the ultrabooks and ultraportables classics in 11.6 inches and 12.1 inches.

Remains to be seen one thing: how will be equipped with the 11.6-inch for example. Given the fall in prices in the field of portable computers, an 11.6 inches with a Pentium processor or AMD (Llano or Brazzos) chip is not necessarily much more onerous than an Atom-based netbook.

It must be to say that the concept of netbook played on its price (soon 4 years ago) to sell: it was (and is) less rapid than a more traditional model, but it was (and is not) much cheaper. PCs equipped with a 15 inch screen where to high prices of some netbooks range, the deal is different.

Sony would like to repurchase the shares of Ericsson

Sony would like to retrieve all of the joint venture founded with Ericsson for its mobile activity.

According to the information reported by the Wall Street Journal, Sony would be about to buy back the 50% of shares that still has Ericsson in the joint-venture they founded together in 2001. The sum that Sony should spend money to retrieve Sony Ericsson in full is estimated between 1 and $ 1.3 billion.

Sony could bring its division telephone branches working from its shelves, its portable consoles or computers yet. In addition to the creative interest and positive excitement that this could create on the R & D, it would be for Sony to reduce costs by developing these synergies.

In loss of $ 50 million in the second quarter with a 1.19 billion turnover, who takes 32% over a year, Sony Ericsson sees its endangered place of sixth manufacturer of mobile in the world. The curve of the smartphone but was rather well taken by the mark, "intelligent" terminals representing approximately 70% of its sales. None of the two parties has wished to react for the moment.

Facebook would have doubled its turnover

If everyone seeks to know the results of Facebook, the figures obtained by Reuters tend to show that the social network continues to grow rapidly.

If Facebook has not yet entered in the stock market, and is therefore not required to disclose its financial results for the moment, the mystery is however pierced from time to time by the observers looking at any price to get an idea of the economic performance of the first global social network.

Thus, according to information gleaned by the European agency Reuters, turnover of Facebook would be of the order of $ 1.6 billion in the first half of 2011, on which a net profit of $ 500 million would have cleared. And according to Reuters, this would represent an increase of 100% of the CA on a year over the first half of 2010 in which Facebook revenues were approximately $ 800 million.

Digits rather realistic when they are confronted with those revealed year last by Bloomberg, which ended on an annual turnover of about 2 billion dollars for Facebook in 2010. A figure which, this year, would have therefore been almost reached in a single semester. Facebook, currently valued at height of $ 80 billion, should be introduced on the stock market in the year 2010.

Sandy Bridge-E, the I7-3960X would be 47% faster than the I7 - 990 X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two charts published by the Donanimhaber.com site reveal the performance of the model of the future Sandy Bridge-E platform.Sandy Bridge-E will be the next round of top processors range from Intel using the new socket LGA-2011 from replace the set of processors on socket LGA-1366 for call back.

Currently high-end consists therefore of the I7-990 X EE (Extreme Edition). It is composed of six hearts with the support of the Hyper-Threading, or twelve Threads. He is running at 3.460 Mhz and monte 3.730 Mhz in Turbo Mode supported by 12 MB L3 cache. The memory controller manages the DDR3 on three channels at a frequency of 1066 Mhz. All for a TDP of 130 Watts.The leak is the I7-3960X EE (Extreme Edition). It will be with respect to him composed of six hearts with the support of the Hyper-Threading or twelve Threads also. He will be running at 3,300 Mhz and will rise to 3.900 Mhz mode Turbo, or nearly 4 GHZ! Backed up by a 15 MB L3 cache. The memory controller always bear the DDR3 but on four channels at a frequency of 1333 Mhz. The HRT will be the same or 130 Watts.
Tests on the first chart show that on Cinebench 11.5 the I7-3960X EE would be 13% more efficient than the I7-990 X, 12% more efficient on POV - Ray 3.7, 36% on the physics of 3D Mark 11 test score and finally 15% better on ProShow 4.5.The second graph shows a growth of 34% in Integer and 65% in decimal floating on SPEC CPU 2006, which measures the bandwidth memory.

It also shows that on the AVX instruction set tested by Sandra 2011 benchmark performance would be an increase of 92% in multimedia.
Regarding bandwidth memory, Sandra 2011 view Quad-Channel 111% higher performance than the Triple-Channel.The average of all these gains represent 47.25% of additional performance.

Still waiting for the end of the year, there was more than expected temperatures to warm us up with some less synthetic benchmarks, and see what would be the daily earnings.

CPU AMD FX Zambezi would still delayed

Zambezi of AMD processors, using the Bulldozer architecture, would be further delayed according to documents published on the site DonanimHaber. Four Zambezi were originally planned for the months of September and four the following month. AMD have finally decided to leave the eight at the same time. The launch will take place a month later than expected and anticipated especially the years holiday.This leak comes therefore complete as of last June (see "The Zambezi-FX AMD roadmap on the run") from the same site which had the merit of revealing the features of the Llano. In addition to confirm the names of the processors and the TDP announced last month, the present document brings operating frequencies and the size of caches. If this information is verified, the only unknown will remain price and performance. The technical characteristics are presented in a table at the bottom of this news. You should also know that processors are engraved in 32 nm SOI. For memory, the self is a technology developed by French SOITEC which place a layer of insulation between two layers of silicon to reduce leakage currents. According to information collected by DonanimHaber, AMD processors would be stepping B2. The firm would have corrected the performance problems of B0 and B1 steppings that would be the source of many delays.Finally, the same site had his hands a processor AMD FX-8130P, a prototype running at 3.2 GHz and having a Turbo to 3.7 GHz frequency when eight cores are enabled. If only four of them are active, the frequency may rise to 4.2 GHz. Editors have obviously launched a series of benchmarks, but inadequate testing protocols do not draw conclusions on the new architecture. Indeed, they have for example used Cinebench R10 and SuperPi. The first is unnecessary on a processor using more than four cores and the second is a single application thread that does not derive advantage of all of the smart. Fritz Chess shows he improved by 23% from Thuban processor, which is normal since the Bulldozer integrates two cores and more.Donanim Haber has since withdrawn its website testing. It is not the first benchmarks to appear on the canvas (see "A CPU AMD Zambezi pushed 4.6 GHz"). Unfortunately, it is impossible to be an opinion on the issue. The Zambezi, according to early estimates, should reach the level of the Sandy Bridge. Must nevertheless await final flea market and the publication of the tariff policy of AMD to make a real opinion on this architecture that is supposed to replace the Green Giant in the race for performance.
