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.
Nostalgeek 2001. We arrive in February.
The first capable of operating at 250 MHz DDR memory chips arrive and are intended to replace the 200 MHz chips usually used. In processors, Intel abandoned the Slot 1 (in its version SECC2) and focuses on the Socket 370 and its variants. Indeed, the connector, introduced with the Pentium II, is no longer necessary: the evolution of the fineness of engraving allows to place the cache directly into the CPU. Finally, Intel announced a Pentium III "ulv": running at 500 MHz, it had a 8.1 W TDP.
In 2011, the DDR3 exceeds "2500 MHz" equivalent CSDs. Intel discontinued Socket 370, Socket 423, Socket 478, the LGA775 and the LGA1156. The LGA1155 and the LGA1366 (end of life) are the norm. Finally, in the world of low consumption, the Atom has a TDP of less 2.5 w for a frequency of 1.6 GHz usually.
In drives, IBM has just announced a monster: Ultrastar 36Z15. This SCSI Ultra160 hard disk has a capacity of 36 GB, a cache of 4 MB and runs to 15,000 revolutions per minute. Advertised rates are huge: 52 MB/s.
In 2011, any hard disk entry offers 1 TB of capacity and 32 MB of cache. And despite trays which rotate at 5,400 rpm, flows generally exceed the 100 MB/s.
