    Size matters and so does performance
    Size matters and so does performance. The ongoing goal to make devices smaller and more efficient to keep ahead of the pack has been ringing true since the evolution of the bulky PC to the Eee PC, and from the stereo to the iPod. It’s a small world after all and it’s set to get smaller as new concepts and devices roll through the production stages. But as the economic doom settles in, what component technologies will shine through?
  • Intel's Core i7 Sydney media briefing 19/11/2008 12:50:00

    Fast CPUs and booze.

  • Multicore: New chips mean new challenges for developers 05/11/2008 08:09:00

    More and more help is available so developers can write apps for the new-generation chips
    With the advent of multicore processors such as the Intel Core Duo, which is now commonplace in PCs, software developers must deal with a new wrinkle -- getting software to be processed across multiple cores -- in order to ensure the maximum performance from their software. But this is much easier said than done, with developers having to tackle issues with concurrency and potential performance bottlenecks. Already, 71 percent of organizations are developing multithreaded applications for multicore hardware, according to a recent IDC survey sponsored by tool vendor Coverity.
