Launch of the first 5 Atoms   Posted on 02/04/2008 at 22:41 by Nicolas

	Intel took advantage of the first day of the IDF to officially launch five Atom processors. These are based on Silverthorne architecture and destined for MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices). Engraved in 45nm, TDP varies between 0.65W and 2.5W for a frequency as high as 1.86 GHz. Given their rather low price which includes a SCH (System Controller Hub) with DirectX 9 support and plays the role of chipset, they should enable a number of Asian manufacturers to create inexpensive mobile internet terminals with performances and autonomy that live up to this name. The Californian company obviously used the occasion to propose its complete platform, the Atom Centrino, , which in addition to its CPUs allows them to sell other components.

Chaintech's DDR3-1066 So-Dimm   Posted on 02/04/2008 at 17:56 by Nicolas - source: Hardwarezone

	Chaintech has unveiled its first DDR3-1066 module in So-Dimm format when no current cell phone or mobile chipset supports DDR3. At best Intel only offers the PM965 limited to DDR2-667. Destined for the Centrino 2 platform, this 2 GB module functions at a voltage of 1.5V (in accordance with JEDEC recommendations) versus 1.8V for DDR2. This should enable reducing power consumption. In terms of timings, there were few details given; however, we could foresee CAS latency at 7. Finally, the price was not yet revealed and Chaintech probably prefers to wait at least until June hoping that the price of DDR3 chips will be lower by then.
