Lux in tenebris
Auto-translated
Now I will try to be brief with the news.
WitcheR-L!) I share your joy! Here's some more:
A couple of weeks ago, we reported on the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 1 GB of memory, which is equipped with 1 GB of memory and features a heatsink design that covers almost the entire area of the card.
*********************************************************
Now, this manufacturer has prepared an even more interesting product from the high-performance TOXIC series, which will appeal to gamers and enthusiasts.
The new product is called Sapphire 4850 TOXIC Edition and has higher clock speeds compared to the reference model.
Product specifications:
* Memory size and type: 512 MB, GDRR3
* Chip frequency: 675 MHz
* Memory frequency: 1100 MHz
* Stream processors: 800
* Memory bus width: 256 bits
* Interface: PCI-E x16 2.0
* DirectX 10.1 support
* HDMI connector
* HDCP and 7.1-channel audio support
* CrossFireX and ATI Avivo HD technology support

NVIDIA joins AMD, IBM and other members of the SOI Industry Consortium
The SOI Industry Consortium announced that NVIDIA has joined its ranks. This organization was formed in October 2007 by a group of leading manufacturers to accelerate the development of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
As you know, NVIDIA's products are aimed at both consumer, professional, and corporate markets. The areas of application for this company's developments include computer games, film production, television broadcasting, industrial design, financial modeling, space research, and medicine.
After NVIDIA joined, the number of members of the SOI Consortium has become twenty-three. The complete list currently looks like this: AMD, Applied Materials, ARM, Cadence Design Systems, CEA-Leti, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Freescale Semiconductor, IBM, Innovative Silicon, KLA-Tencor, Lam Research, Magma Design, Samsung, Semico, Soitec, SEH Europe, STMicroelectronics, Synopsys, TSMC, Tyndall Institute, UCL, and UMC.
Membership in the consortium is open to any company, organization, or research institution interested in promoting SOI technology.

45nm CPUs will become the mainstay of Intel's product line this quarter
Intel continues to increase the production volume of its 45nm processors, while AMD is preparing to release its first such CPU.
According to Intel CEO Paul Otellini, the company will sell 100 million of its chips manufactured using the advanced process by the end of this year. This means that at least 10 million of these processors will be produced per month.
Moreover, this quarter, the volume of 45nm chip shipments will exceed the volume of 65nm chips. This will happen, in particular, due to the mobile segment, as these CPUs provide more than a third of Intel's revenue in the third financial quarter. Obviously, Intel is counting on a quick start for Centrino 2, but will it be successful, given the postponement of the platform's announcement from May to July?
