Intel Core i7 Powers HCL's Infiniti Challenger

HCL Infosystems has unveiled its new Infiniti Challenger Series range of workstations powered by the Intel Core i7 quad-core processor.

The new faster processor uses intelligent multi-core technology, which applies processing power dynamically when needed most, says the company.

The new workstations feature four-core, eight-thread design with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology and more than double the memory bandwidth.

"HCL's Infiniti Challenger, equipped with Intel Core i7 quad-core processing power, enables faster user experience. This model is positioned for various multimedia tasks like image rendering and photo editing, gaming and the animation industry," says George Paul, executive vice president, HCL Infosystems.



The processor's frequency can be dynamically increased through Intel Turbo Boost Technology, thus making it useful for various applications like digital media creation and highly-threaded games, says HCL.

The Intel Core i7 processor offers a multi-core design with features of an integrated memory controller, accelerating performance for productivity, content creation, entertainment, and gaming. In addition, this architecture includes Intel Smart Cache for rapid access to memory, with 8MB shared L3 cache for ultra efficient data storage.

HCL Infiniti Challenger Series workstations will be available for Rs. 55,000 onwards through the company's authorized dealers across India. The shipment of this new range of desktops will start in mid-December 2008.

XFX Releases Intel Chipset-based Motherboard


XFX Releases Intel Chipset-based Motherboard

Aimed at the budget conscious user, XFX has launched its Intel chipset-based motherboard-the XG3li.

Built to support Intel LGA 775 processors, the XG3li can support up to 4GB of dual channel DDR2 800 MHz SDRAM, delivering up to 12.8 GB/s (DDR2 800 dual 6.4GB/s) of bandwidth and 4GB memory addressability to increase system responsiveness and support for 64-bit computing, says the company. The XFX XG3li motherboard supports up to a 1333 MHz front side bus.

It also offers Intel-exclusive features including Intel Fast Memory Access, which are meant to improve system performance by optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth and reduces the latency of the memory access.

Additionally, Intel's Flex Memory Technology enables easier upgrades by allowing different memory sizes to be populated and remain in dual-channel mode. And, the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 helps pop frame rates and enhance the user experience, a feature especially noticeable when using Windows Vista. Being Vista certified also helps improve system stability and compatibility.

The motherboard uses HDA, using which systems can deliver 192 kHz/32-bit quality for up to eight channels, supporting new audio formats, says XFX.

The XFX XG3li motherboard also features PCI Express bus architecture with a full bandwidth x16 expansion slot. With this, users can use SATA 3 Gb/s hard disk drives that offer double bus bandwidth. Additionally, the motherboard includes a rear panel e-I SATA port, rear panel clear CMOS button and on selected models, a debug LED.

Intel, Micron Heat Up 32GB NAND Flash Chip Market

Intel and Micron have announced mass production of jointly developed 34nm, 32GB multi-level cell NAND flash memory.

The development and manufacturing of 34nm NAND memory chips was carried out by the subsidiary of Intel and Micron, IM Flash Technologies, and was introduced in May this year. These NAND chips are ideal for phones, portable media players and other handheld devices.

The 32GB NAND chip fits into standard 48-lead thin small-outline package (TSOP) and can hold up to 4GB due to its multi-level cell nature manufactured on 300mm wafers. Apart from handheld and portable devices, these chips will also 'dramatically' increase the current storage capacity of SSDs and make them more cost-effective.





Intel and Micron haven't specified when these chips will ship. Companies looking to include these chips in their products will have to wait till early 2009. Intel-Micron's update brings them face-to-face with Toshiba's 32GB module. Toshiba's 32GB NAND Flash memory chips are expected to hit production this holiday season.

Now all those handheld and portable device geeks can start cooking up stories with enthusiasm. As per speculations, Apple is planning to pump the iPhone and iPod Touch storage to 32GB and 64GB, respectively. Any such update will be acclaimed, but might add to cost. Expect to see more mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, mobile internet devices, digital cameras, handheld consoles and more devices with enhanced storage capacity in late 2009 and eventually in 2010.
