Samsung to merge Bada OS with Intel-backed Tizen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSamsungIntelBada
During the Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung announced that the company is working on merging its Bada mobile operating system with the open-source Tizen operating system. “We have an effort that will merge bada and Tizen,” said Tae-Jin Kan, senior vice president of Samsung’s Contents Planning Team, in an interview with Forbes. While he wasn’t aware when the work would be complete, Kang indicated that is has already begun. Read on for more. The Tizen operating system is open-source and backed by Intel and the Linux Foundation. When the Bada integration is complete, Tizen will support programs written with Samsung’s Bada SDK, including both new and previously published apps. Samsung is curre...

Quad-Core Intel Atom CPUs Coming in 2013
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
In a slide leaked by ComputerBase, we see the first rumors of quad-core based Atom processors that is set to be released in 2013. This is on the heals of the release on the new Cedar Trail processors in 2012, fitting in with the announcement made by Intel in May 2011, when Intel said it would release three major updates for the Atom family of products over the following 36 months.
Saltwell will be the first new batch of CPUs, based on the 32nm manufacturing process technology and due out in 2012. It will be followed by a generation codenamed Silvermont, powered itself by the 22nm/tri-gate fabrication process. The third chip generation will bear the name of Airmont and will utilize the 14nm p...

Intel Confirms Working DX11 on Ivy Bridge
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Yesterday we reported Intel ran a video of a DX11 title instead of running the actual game itself on a live Ivy Bridge notebook during Mooly Eden's press conference. After the press conference Intel let me know that the demo was a late addition to the presentation and they didn't have time to set it up live but insisted that it worked. I believed Intel (I spent a lot of time with Ivy Bridge at the end of last year and saw no reason to believe that DX11 functionality was broken) but I needed definitive proof that there wasn't some issue that Intel was trying to deliberately hide. Intel promptly invited me to check out the demo live on an Ivy Bridge notebook which I just finished doing.

Motorola and Intel hold hands for multi-year, multi-device partnership, shipments start 2H 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsIntelMotorola
Well, look who just showed up at Intel's CES 2012 keynote? Motorola Mobility's own Sanjay Jha just grabbed a bit of the limelight -- long enough to announce a multi-year, multi-device agreement that should see Intel's Medfield chips powering Moto's hardware (the second announced behind Lenovo) in the not-too-distant future. Naturally, we're guessing Android will be the OS of choice here, but we can only guess what Motorola's going to do when all of its other chip partners come knocking with new questions.

Intel says future Ultrabooks will come with touchscreens, voice recognition
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
Future Ultrabook laptops will have touchscreens, voice recognition, longer battery life, and lower prices, an Intel executive said Monday, as he also took a swipe at tablets during a press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show.
More than 75 Ultrabooks -- Intel's trademarked term for a thin, lightweight, fast-boot laptop similar to Apple's MacBook Air -- are in the pipeline for 2012 and new hybrid designs with tablet features will be released later this year, said Mooly Eden, general manager of the PC client group at Intel.

Intel promotes Windows 8 ultrabooks, touchscreen tech at CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Intel has previewed the capabilities of Windows 8-based ultrabooks, some of which take advantage of touchscreen technology and voice recognition. The chip maker suggests more than 75 ultrabook designs will arrive on the market this year, as the company's third-generation Core-series processors become available this spring.
Intel vice president Mooly Eden demonstrated a unique ultrabook prototype, known as the Nikiski, that features a transparent touchpad that extends most of the way across the space below the keyboard. The transparent surface enables users to close the notebook and still view content, such as news feeds and calendar entries, on a portion of the display.

Intel WiDi to be built into many home theater chips
Like UnlikeFiled in: Networking DevicesIntel
Intel's WiDi wireless display streaming may be a bit under the radar, but that might have changed today. The company has just announced that it will be collaborating with several home theater system-on-a-chip makers to start including WiDi support. The SoC companies involved are Cavium, Mstar Semiconductor, Sigma Designs, Realtek, and Wondermedia. While you probably don't recognize those companies, their hardware may power some of your connected TV, set-top box, or other home theater equipment.
It should be a great boon for WiDi, which requires the use of an adapter unless both the transmitter (usually your laptop) and the receiver (your TV or cable box) have the hardware built-in. The news ...

Forget about diamonds and chocolate, if you're dating a geek, your lady friend will be thrilled to receive an Intel Core i7 3820 processor for Valentine's Day. And make no mistake ladies, us guys would love to get our hands on this chip too. Why? Only because it will be the first quad-core Sandy Bridge E processor, which means it's built on top of a solid architecture and won't bust our bank accounts.

Intel Atom does Quad-Core in 2013
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
As ARM is continuing its push on the computer market, Intel has begun to step up its own game, apparently going as far as increasing the core number on its low-end processors, reports softpedia.
Even though 2012 has only just begun, there are already rumors about what may or may not happen in 2013. Intel is the subject of the latest report, along with a certain series of CPUs (central processing units). It is said that the Atom line will start to include quad-core members next year. This would fit with the announcement made by the Santa Clara, California-based company in May, 2011.

Google has dumped Intel architecture in its new Google TV products in favour of the ARM-based Marvell Armada 1500 chipset.
The new televisions will be showcased at CES 2012 next week, complete with the Marvell Armada 1500 HD Media System-on-a-chip which should mean lower prices and better power efficiency than the Intel-made predecessors.

Intel Atom D2550, N2650, N2850 on the Horizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelAtom D2550
Last week, Intel launched its third-generation Atom processor platform for netbooks and low-power PCs, codenamed "Cedar Trail", with mobile variants including the 1.60 GHz N2600 and 1.83 GHz N2800. Earlier, it launched its low-power PC variants, the 1.86 GHz D2500 and 2.13 GHz D2700. As a result of a slip-up, Intel disclosed a three new models in the datasheet (PDF) document of the new Atom series. These include the new 1.70 GHz N2650, 2.00 GHz N2850, which will likely replace the N2600 and N2800 in the future; and the D2550. This chip is clocked identically with the D2500, but has a faster iGPU, clocked at 640 MHz, up from the 400 MHz iGPU the D2500 packs. Since this chip is designed for lo...

Intel OEM Engineers Caught Selling Sample Chips on eBay
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) arrested four engineers for allegedly selling Intel processors designated as Engineer Samples (ES) on eBay for personal profit. Intel ES chips are the property of Intel and are often sent off to reviewers and OEM manufacturers prior to commercial release in order to test for compatibility. In theory, they're supposed to be returned to Intel.

Atom chip on Android smartphones expected at CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsCPUIntelGoogleAndroid
LG Electronics and Samsung are expected to unveil Android smartphones next week that use Intel's latest Atom chip, dubbed Medfield, analysts said. The move, if it pans out, could portend a shift away from ARM-based chips, which are in 95 percent of smartphones.
The arrival of Atom-based smartphones at the International CES show in Las Vegas would join Google and Intel at the hip, said Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates. With Google in the midst of acquiring Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, at least some Motorola smartphones could be soon running Atom chips, as well.
