HTC rumored to work on Android devices with Intel chips inside
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelHTCGoogleAndroid
Just as there will be Windows 8 tablets with NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments ARM-based chips, so goes the other way around - we will see Android devices, powered by Intel silicon.
In fact, rumors suggest that Intel employees have been walking the floors at IDF 2012 with HTC-made devices in hand running Android, but powered by an Intel chipset, which will be previewed around CES or MWC time early 2012.
Google's Andy Rubin announced a strategic move the other day to support Intel's x86 architecture in the next versions of Android, and the announcement was scheduled for the same day when Microsoft introduced Windows 8 running on ARMed tablets.
Now what is HTC doing sniffing around and ...

Intel 8-Way Multi-GPU MIC Knights Ferry demo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsMotherboardsIntel
Intel was running a real-time ray-tracing demo of Wolfenstein at the IDF in San Francisco. According to xbitlabs to achieve this feat, the company used a 2-way Xeon server with eight Knights Ferry graphics cards.
At the Intel Developer Forum 2011, Intel Corp. showcased a system running a new version of its real-time “Wolfenstein” ray-tracing demo. In order to render the game scenes in full HD (1080p) resolution and with additional visual effects, Intel had to use a 2-way Xeon system with eight code-named Knights Ferry compute accelerators.
The up-to-date Wolfenstein game is rendered through a real-time ray tracer with several special effects that haven’t been possible before in games with.....

Windows ARM support not an issue for Intel
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Intel CEO, Paul Otellini, remains bullish about the prospect of Microsoft supporting the ARM architecture in the upcoming release of Windows 8.
Down the coast in Anaheim Microsoft is hosting the Build Conference as Intel runs its IDF2011 conference here in San Francisco. There it was talking up its support for the ARM micro-architecture in the next version of the Windows OS.
Otellini though is unconcerned with the prospect of added competition in the Windows space.
"We've always had to have the best chip to run on Microsoft software," he said.
"When you have the best chip you win."
It's not just the architecture that's important though as there's a vast library of legacy applications out the...

Intel's solar-powered CPU prototype
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technical Office, today showed off a prototype CPU with such a low power rating that it can run from a solar cell the size of a postage stamp.
Code-named Claremont the Pentium-class processor is capable of operating at less than 10mW and still run operating systems such as Linux or Windows.
"It's part of our long standing obsession with power reduction," said Intel CEO, Paul Otellini when he showed a sneak peak of the setup on Tuesday.
The huge power saving has been made possible by operating the transistors in the processor at near their threshold voltage.
The threshold voltage is the voltage at which the transistor turns on.
Today's processors operate at several...

Intel: Thunderbolt coming to PCs, prototype shown at IDF 2011 (update: video!)
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksDesktop ComputersIntel
Guess what, Wintel loyalists? "Apple's" Thunderbolt I/O port is coming your way. If you'll recall, Thunderbolt was actually built with Intel's collaboration (Light Peak, anyone?), and sensibly, the chip giant is now making it possible for the port to appear on non-Mac machines. The news was just broken here at IDF, where a Haswell-based machine was briefly teased with a heretofore unpossible T-bolt port. Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group, was on-stage to showcase six pre-production Ultrabook designs (all based on 3rd generation Intel Core processors), but stopped short of telling us exactly when the Thunderbolt I/O port would make its debut on commercially...

Intel intros DeepSafe CPU security, will optimize Android for x86
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelGoogleAndroid
Putting its $7.68 billion acquisition to use, Intel has announced a new processor technology it's deemed "one of the biggest innovations" in the security industry's history. Called McAfee DeepSafe, the framework sits below your operating system and will allow McAfee to develop hardware-assisted security features.
Intel didn't provide many details, but the goal is to detect and thwart malware that can evade your OS-level antivirus. In one example, DeepSafe stopped a zero-day rootkit called Agony from infecting a system in real time. More details should arise soon as DeepSafe is expected to ship in products later this year.

Intel Says 22nm Ivy Bridge Chips Are More Than Just a Die Shrink
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
Intel's next-generation proccessors codenamed Ivy Bridge represent what the chip maker calls a "tick," or a process shrink, but there's also a lot of "tock" to be found in the upcoming chips, the company said at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on Tuesday.
"Tick-tock" is the shorthand Intel uses to describe the cadence on its product roadmap that delivers chips with smaller transistors, or "ticks," and chips with major architectural changes, or "tocks," in alternating years. Ivy Bridge chips—the first Intel will produce using its next-generation 22-nanometer process—are a "tick," but they'll also include some significant "tock"-like design improvements, so the chip giant is calling...

Intel to show tablets, ultrabooks with Windows 8
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Intel plans to show Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 on tablets based on new Atom processors, and on ultrabooks, at both the Intel Developer Forum and Microsoft's Build conference this week, according to a source familiar with Intel's plans.
Intel will show off Windows 8 ultrabooks and other devices as it drums up developer support for the OS on the x86 platform. Windows 8 will work on tablets and PCs, and Microsoft has extended support for the OS beyond x86 to include the ARM architecture, which is used in most smartphones and tablets.

Samsung's Windows 8 demo tablet could still use Intel chips
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Samsung's Windows 8 reference tablet due at Microsoft's Build conference next week might still be using Intel processors. A new slip late Friday maintained that, in spite of its slim and possibly quad-core design pointing to ARM, "at least one version" would still have the familiar x86 architecture would still be in place. The CNET tip hesitated to say it wouldn't be shown with ARM and left the door open to both being on display.
The design might be given out to developers at Build but isn't expected to translate into a shipping product for the public as-is. Samsung might adapt it or use it as the foundation for a shipping product when Windows 8 is ready in mid-2012.

Nvidia: We’re No Longer In The Processor Business Because Intel “Preferred That We Weren’t”
Like UnlikeFiled in: IntelnVIDIA
If the meek capitulation in the headline sounds uncharacteristic of Nvidia’s infamously outspoken CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, it’s probably because he’s bitter. Though the GPU-focused company announced way back in 2008 that it was going to “open a can of whoop-ass” on Intel, very little has happened, at least on the consumer side. Intel and Nvidia have had some major differences, and remain fierce competitors, but it’s been made clear that Intel won’t tolerate anyone making a grab at its x86 treasure hoard.
But Nvidia isn’t going quietly. Or rather, they’re going quietly just so they can sneak around the back. While Intel is cracking its whip at anyone who wants a piece of x86, Nvidia and ARM, amon...

Intel to throw in the towel on MeeGo, another one bites the dust
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelNOKIAMeeGo
After webOS got on the backburner, now MeeGo is receiving a fatal blow with Intel freezing its development efforts citing lack of partner interest. When Nokia announced it will go the Windows Phone way, Intel vouched to keep MeeGo thriving on its own, but the market obviously had other intentions.
Nokia N9, running MeeGo Harmattan, is actually a quite innovative handset, which proves the potential of MeeGo, but in the cutthroat mobile industry there is just very little space for more operating systems. Android, iOS and Windows Phone are the triad that analysts say will take over, with Samsung's bada OS and RIM having their special places as well.
