This summer, we will 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. Each 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.
More than two...
If current solutions offer only a single CPU, the multicore is the future. And Intel should propose models with multiple cores in 2005, at the time by 70 nm, while IBM already has a Power4 of this type in (very) high. While ATi will launch very low power chipset for the Pentium 4, Via launches Eden, a platform which use C3 processors.
In 2011, the multicore is generalized and Intel predictions were correct: the first dual core are a 65 nm Pentium 4. ATi (AMD) is evidently more chipsets for Pentium 4 but versions for K10 processors exist of course. With respect to Via Eden platform still exists, with (a bit) faster CPU, such as the C7 and the Nano.
First 160 GB hard disk drives arrive, priced at €415 and with incompatibilities: must be a motherboard that supports 48-bit LBA.
In 2011, the storage is (much) less expensive, at least in the hard drives. A 2 TB model is less than €60 but also suffers from incompatibilities with legacy systems. More fun, a 160 GB in 2011, considered as expensive, SSD is less than a 160 GB hard drive in 2001.
