Intel reveals Core M Broadwell performance and TDP: At 14nm, Intel finally goes fanless September 5, 2014 at 1:35 pm
At IFA 2014 in Berlin, Intel has finally taken the wraps off its first three 14nm Broadwell-based Core M processors, filling in most of the remaining gaps. We now know the base and turbo frequencies for Broadwell-Y, the TDPs of the first Core M chips (yes, Intel has moved away from SDP), and the other changes and tweaks that will allow for fanless Broadwell-powered tablets and two-in-one laptops that are just 8mm thick. Oh, we also have some cool photos that show you just how small the Core M chips are, too.
4.7- and 5.5-inch iPhone 6, sapphire glass iWatch, NFC payments confirmed by new report September 5, 2014 at 11:10 am
We’re just a few days away from Apple’s special event on September 9, and right on schedule the New York Times has published a detailed exposé — most likely leaked directly by the highest echelons of Apple — of everything that we can expect. We now have almost-certain confirmation that the iPhone 6 will come in two flavors — a 4.7-inch model, and a 5.5-inch phablety monster. Furthermore, Apple will also reveal its first new product since Tim Cook took the helm from Steve Jobs three years ago: the iWatch.
Nvidia sues Qualcomm, Samsung for infringing on its ‘invention of the GPU’ September 5, 2014 at 10:10 am
Nvidia has filed lawsuits against Samsung and Qualcomm — and essentially asked for a complete halt on product sales on every other competitive GPU in the business.
Dell unveils 5K desktop monitor with almost 2x the pixels of your puny 4K display September 5, 2014 at 8:57 am
What’s 27 inches across and has almost twice the pixel count of your puny 4K monitor? Dell’s new UltraSharp 5K monitor, that’s what. With a resolution of 5120×2880, the 27-inch monster has seven times as many pixels as your 1080p monitor, or four times as many as your 2560×1440 (1440p) monitor. It has a PPI of 218, which puts it on about par with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (2880×1800). When it goes on sale around Christmas time — for $2500 — it will finally replace IBM’s mythical 13-year-old T220/T221 as the highest-res desktop monitor.
The difference between L2 and L3 cache September 4, 2014 at 4:41 pm
What is L2 cache? What is L3 cache? What is the major difference between the two? All your cache questions have been answered.
Will Samsung’s Gear VR trigger the virtual reality revolution before Oculus Rift? September 4, 2014 at 2:45 pm
Out of all the products that Samsung unveiled yesterday, it was the Gear VR — not the Note 4 or Note Edge — that intrigued me the most. At first I was a little bit skeptical, but as I started to interpret some hands-on impressions, and learn about Oculus VR’s extensive involvement with the Gear VR, the tingling started to swell. Don’t forget that Samsung sold over 10 million Note 3 phablets, and will probably sell even more of the Note 4. If the Gear VR is priced appropriately, we are probably looking at the first real consumer-grade, mass-market virtual reality device.
Digital game downloads are worse for the environment than Blu-ray discs September 4, 2014 at 12:41 pm
You would think that the world would be a less polluted place if everyone switched to digital downloads, lessening the number of physical objects — and factories to produce them — in the world. A recent study suggests that even though removing physical objects lowers the potential for future for garbage, going digital isn’t the best answer to cleaning up the planet.
How L1 and L2 CPU caches work, and why they’re an essential part of modern chips September 4, 2014 at 10:54 am
Ever been curious how L1 and L2 cache work? We’re glad you asked. Here, we deep dive into the structure and nature of one of computing’s most fundamental designs and innovations.
Real-time emotion detection with Google Glass: An awesome, creepy taste of the future of wearable computers September 4, 2014 at 9:11 am
The wily geniuses at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have created the world’s first real-time emotion detection app for Google Glass. The app (glassware, as Google prefers to call it) can also accurately detect someone’s age or gender. Real-time emotion detection could be of great use for people with disorders such as autism, who often struggle to interpret facial expressions, or simply for people who struggle to divine their partner’s true emotional state when they say that they’re “fine.’
The first human brain-to-brain interface has been created. In the future, will we all be linked telepathically? September 3, 2014 at 2:27 pm
International researchers are reporting that they have built the first human-to-human brain-to-brain interface, allowing two humans — separated by the internet — to consciously communicate with each other, directly from one brain to another. In short, the researchers have created a device that enables telepathy. In the future, rather than vocalizing speech — or vainly attempting to vocalize your emotions — your friend/lover/family member might just pluck those words and thoughts right out of your head.
