PowerPC Extension Technology Microprocessor

The primary objective of this manual is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of 64-bit PowerPC™ processors, which have implemented the Vector/SIMD Multimedia Extension technology. This book describes how the vector technology relates to the 64-bit portion of the PowerPC architecture. This book supplements the "PowerPC Microprocessor Family: Programming Environments Manual for 64-bit Microprocessors".Verify in IBM Customer connect that you have the latest versions of all referenced documents before finalizing any designs. All recommendations given should be considered as guidelines, intended to help design a functional system. However, they are only guidelines and do not take the place of design specific results obtained from signal integrity modeling considerations and debug recommendations provided in this document and in referenced documents were developed to help reduce the risk of board design problems

AMD triple-core

Everything hasn’t exactly been great for AMD lately, but the plucky chip maker has some news for us today. Despite the tough times, the company earned a number of positive reactions from the recent 780G announcement, and it is following that up with three announcement today.
First, triple-core is finally here. We have been hearing about this for months, and after all complaints about triple-core being nothing more than failed quad-core processors, consumers will be able to find out for themselves. The triple core Phenoms will launch as mainstream processors, aimed at users who are interested in additional performance relative to dual-core offerings, without having to substantially increase the amount they are spending. AMD says that triple-core Phenoms will be ideal for budget-minded users who have high-definition content in mind, and that the processor will be a great match for 780G.
So far, we know about the Phenom 8600 (2.3GHz) and 8400 (2.1GHz). They will have L1 cache sizes of 64K of instruction and 64K of data cache per core (512KB total L1) and L2 will hold 512KB of L2 data cache per core (2MB total L2 per processor). These are 65 nm processors that are backwards compatible with AM2 motherboards. The TDP for both models is 95W. We are still waiting on pricing information, but it looks like they will be a bit over US$150.The next piece of news dropped concerned new quad-core processors, including the Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition and Phenom X4 9750. These are additions to AMD’s quad-core lineup that will run at 2.5GHz and 2.4GHz, with TDP ratings of 125W. The new in the 95W TDP are the 9650 and the 9550, which will come in at 2.3GHz and 2.2GHz. So, nothing groundbreaking, but the larger point is that AMD is aiming to make quad-core accessible, while maintaining it as the company’s high-end offering. A quad-core Phemon matched with the 790 chipset is the companies top-shelf offering for gaming, supposing you also pony up the dough for a competitive video card. These are bug-free B3 revision processors.

Sony Ericsson Xperia


Good with multi tasking here is a phone fully loaded with one of the best technology available in the market today .This device has a 5.0 megapixel camera with Auto Focus, Face Detection and a built-in xenon flash with red-eye correction.A 5megapixel camera. 16x digital zoom with auto focus, an image and video stabilizer, Photo flash, BestPic technology with light, Auto rotate, Face Detection technology and Photo fix are a few of the great features included. All these come together for high quality pictures. Photo flash will turn on automatically for pictures and you can now use light with BestPic technology or when recording videos.The camera is protected by a lens cover and the horizontal user interface allows for easier camera handling.

Auto rotate- Capturing a portrait photo with a horizontal camera usually results in a picture that must be rotated when viewed. Auto rotate registers picture orientation when the picture is taken, whether in portrait or landscape mode, and saves this information with the picture. When viewed, the picture appears as the orientation with which it was taken.
The dimension of this cell is eye catching with elegant looks with outstanding applications and comes with 108 ×49 10.5 mm. the size of this mobile phone is so handy to carry in user’s palm. It can be called light in weight and heavy in features due its 107gms weights.

Asus P6T

Asus new mther motherboard P6T deluxe offers overclocking capabilities and utilizes Intel's latest platform.the Asus P6T Deluxe features the Asus Super Hybrid Engine concept that encompasses the TurboV and EPU technologies.TurboV is an advanced overclocking application that enables easy overclocking without the need to exit or reboot the operating system, while the EPU automatically provides users power efficiency.The P6T Deluxe adopts the usage of TurboV to provide precise overclocking adjustments, and allow users to conveniently adjust the CPU ratio (multiplier) for instant CPU upgrades. TurboV can also provide adjustments to the NB voltage, NB-PCIe voltage, CPU PLL voltage and DRAM voltage in 0.02V micro-intervals. The P6T Deluxe also utilizes the EPU technology. This hardware-based feature controls 6 major components: the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and the CPU cooler/system fan.

Phenom II x4 940

The phenom II x4 940 Black Edition AMD's 45 nanometer manufacturing technology which has smaller transistor than the previous Phenoms , enabling it to run faster and cooler while consuming less power .Compared to the previous generation of Phenom CPUs, the Phenom II CPUs have a larger level 3 cache as well as faster frequencies. The 940 runs at 3GHz, but AMD is confident that it can be overclocked significantly while using an air-based cooler. During our tests using the standard AMD cooler, the 940 did indeed run without problems at 3.4GHz, but it was unstable at 3.5GHz. AMD has an Overdrive utility that lets you bump up the speed of your system directly through Windows.
