They will not disappear from the map overnight, but it’s clear that netbooks are the main losers in the arrival of the tablets, in addition to the miniaturization that are experiencing the different ranges of laptop.

One of the major manufacturers Dell and it seems that the work is not proceeding with the netbooks. The proof we have in his best-known device, the Dell Mini, which is not listed on the company website .

The Lilipuntig web discovered this fact, and pulling the rope a little, people have gotten The Verge Dell statements: the American company will focus its development in more powerful laptops and thin. Therefore not going to throw the house out the window with the ultrabooks, but consider that the market demands a product more like them, and just a cheap power.

From the point of view of that drive for notebooks, Intel and AMD, there seems no doubt the way forward. The first house has thrown out the window by creating a foundation to get the ultrabooks be a success, while the second is already working on an alternative. Across the street, Apple has already shown what customers demand, even at high prices.

In the case of Intel, also has its Cedar Trail platform for netbooks, it will not be supported by Dell, and that not only draw up more Minis, but does not want to make netbooks. The highlight of the new Intel Atom is found in the graphic, as mounting the Intel HD Graphics 3600.

IDC has just released a recent market study which is telling the story of how is the microprocessor market. No big surprises in the second quarter and the most relevant is that integrated graphics processors now account for 60% of the total.

For brands, Intel maintains its absolute hegemony as a manufacturer of processors, with 79.3% market share. The company has lost 1.5% that has gone directly to his main rival, AMD, with 20.4%. Undoubtedly, the new generation of APUs with integrated graphics Shagged has earned for the headliner.

In regard to mobile processors, Intel lost 1.9%, remaining at 84.4% of the total. Once again, AMD has taken the Intel fall to fatten its share by 1.8% to 15.2%. The third manufacturer is VIA Technologies, although its share is only 0.4%.

However, the share of AMD is still only 20.4% and still has a long way to put serious strain on Intel, whose platform Sandy Bridge has also achieved a good agreement this year.

We all know that large datacenters not use the same hardware as that of our homes. Maybe sometimes, be similar, but usually not integrated in the same way. One of the main priorities for these institutions (which, incidentally, are much more common than we think) is to optimize the ratio performance / watt and achieved great potential but at affordable prices for any company, Including Microsoft. The guys from Redmond are one of the leading companies in the sector, and of course make use of multiple data centers physically located throughout the world. These centers used for storing and executing information based on cloud computing services (also called the cloud).

We also know that Microsoft and Intel are two companies that have historically been well supported with each other. The last thing we know is that Microsoft is pushing Intel to evolve its Intel Atom so that they are good processors for use in large data centers and servers. It seems that they want to achieve is the number of Atom chips with 16 cores, each of which would be very basic but would work very efficiently in parallel, performing complex calculations in relatively low and getting better results than the current Xeon or Opteron processors very powerful but also with large energy consumption.

When it comes to high-end CPU, regardless of the purchase price there is now almost taken for granted that they allow one way or another to make overclocking practices, and not only in theoretical terms but also practical with great potential and integrated tools (change the multiplier, the possibility of excluding certain units or elements, etc.).

Currently there are two solutions that fit neatly into this classification: CPU Intel Core i7 CPU 980x and 1090T AMD Phenom II X6 both the six-core architecture and unlocked multiplier, to the delight of all overclockers. Read more… »
