AMD Spurred On By Flash
News With four bits per cell, we will bury NAND," Cambou said. Other manufacturers have expressed doubt that memory with four bits per cell is possible, but Cambou said MirrorBit's architecture will make it possible, after AMD shifts to the 65-nanometre...

IDF Day Zero: Of Intel China, Carrying Small And Living Large
Blog Let me share the good bits, the bad bits and the “I don't believe he just said that on stage” bits. And then it was Andrew Chein, director of Intel Research. We watch a video of people visiting ICRC -- the Intel China Research Centre, not the...

AMD Aims At 64-bit PCs
News Intel maintains that 64 bits will be unnecessary in desktop PCs for some time. More intense games will also undoubtedly require more memory, another reason AMD says 64 bits will sell. The average PC user probably doesn't need 64 bits just yet.

No Jackpot Yet For Itanium
News The chip contains an entirely new architecture that processes data in 64-bit chunks, rather than 32 bits like standard Intel chips. It's going to be a long haul for Itanium, Intel's new server chip. Intel spent nearly 10 years and hundreds of...

AMD Pips Intel With 64-bit Offer
News We allow our customers to migrate to 64-bits when they want to, when there's a need. And to those who argue that not all PC buyers are overly concerned with graphics, Heye has this to say: "Why wouldn't you buy 64-bits?

AMD Outlines Chip Strategy
News Bertrand Cambou, chief executive of the AMD-Fujitsu flash operation Spansion, also said that researchers in its labs have come up with a prototype flash memory chip, which it calls Quadbit, that can hold four bits of information per cell.

AMD Answers 64-bit Question
News They are essentially giving you 64 bits for free," Insight 64 analyst Nathan Brookwood said. AMD also faces other challenges, including convincing people to move quickly to 64 bits from 32-bit software.

The Importance Of Being 64-bit
News A 64-bit chip is one capable of handling chunks of data that are 64 bits wide. Intel uses essentially the same architecture in newer chips, calling it EM64T. Intel's Itanium tried to target this market, but was hampered by being effectively...

CeBIT 2002: IBM Squeezes ELiza Into Eight-way Server
News While error checking and correcting (ECC) memory used in servers can correct for errors in a few bits of a chip, IBM's scheme allows an entire DIMM to fail without crashing the server. IBM has finally launched its mainframe-class Intel server, the...

Deal Sends Tremors Through DRAM Biz
News If (Micron was) to acquire the Toshiba business, they would be ahead in both dollars and bits," said Andrew Norwood, senior analyst with Dataquest. The last US manufacturer to sit at No.was Intel, which left the memory business in the mid-80s.

Rupert Goodwins' IDF Diary
Blog Back at the hotel, some research reveals it's a Symbol device carrying 256 bits of information and capable of being written or read up to ten feet away. There's no sign — and we have no reason to suspect — that Intel is using the RFIDs in any other...

Flash Memory Begins To Fade
News Critics, including Intel and SanDisk, which make 2-bit-per-cell memory, say that electrical signalling could prove problematic in 4-bit memory cells, as the number of bits makes it more difficult to differentiate between the 16 combinations of "1...

Does Moore's Law No Longer Apply?
News Lange said IBM has developed a way to break a memory density barrier -- or SF82 (squared) barrier -- by finding a way to completely immerse the memory trench, that part of its memory chip that stores data bits, in silicon and shrinking the size of...

Data Compression Solution Or Impossible Dream?
News To compress, the software will pull out repeating bits of data. At the time of the company's first press release, it took more than a day to squash a random 128-bit file -- about 16 letters in ASCII, the alphabet most computers use -- into just 100...

New Game Consoles Blow Away PCs
News The transition begins a week Thursday with the planned American launch of Sega's Dreamcast console, the first of a new generation of game systems that handle 128 bits of computer data at a time, compared with 32 or 64 bits with previous machines.
