This summer, we offer you the return of a topic, Nostalgeek. And we decided to dwell on a specific year: 2001. Distant and close both the year 2001 is interesting to analyze, to show developments in the high-tech in 10 years. Every day, during the holidays, we will offer you a retrospective of a week of 2001, with the news of the day and a small analysis on what there is in 2011.
Continue with Nostalgeek 2001: third week of January 2001.
AMD launches the Mobile Duron processors for low-end processors 600 or 700 MHz. During this time, Via announced a new processor, the Via Cyrix III at 700 MHz and Intel explains that the Pentium 4 should pass to the SDRAM memory quickly, in place of the RDRAM. For the rest, the rumors about on the Pentium III "tualatin", this third version of the Pentium III is highly anticipated...
In 2011, the low-end chips are less advanced (at the technological level) that the Mobile Duron, but frequencies are more students and much lower consumption. Be the Bobcat or the Atom, the low cost is in fashion. Pentium 4, we will see, has disappointed once coupled to SDRAM and the Pentium III "tualatin" was stationed primarily at workstations and laptops. Moreover, it was inconsistent with motherboards designed to "Coppermine".
Not much at the end of January 2001, only a few rumors of the NV200, chip designed to succeed the GeForce 2. It expected the support of the Vertex Shader and higher than the expensive GeForce 2 Ultra performance, but that is all.
In 2011, the GPU of the smartphones top range are faster and more complete than the NV20, who will become its output the GeForce 3.
Western Digital has announced a hard drive 5400 RPM with trays of 30 GB, in its range of Caviar. To achieve 7 200 rpm, it merely 20 GB platters. Western Digital allows for 60 GB hard drives, a high capacity.
In 2011, the 3.5-inch hard drives reach 1 TB by plateaus and the 2.5-inch 500 GB are.
