That they want to start using 32nm technology of chip manufacturing in year 2009. There are still some technical problems with this process, source of extreme ultraviolet light (shorter wavelength is needed) need to be strong enough to let manufacture going fast, also mirrors used within have to be extreme precious, but they are working on all problems.
Device with capacity eqaul to 1 Tb, named oficialy Iomega Desktop Hard Drive XL is one of rrecent most advanced drives ever seen. It should present 1 terabyte capacity (it is containing 4 harddrives with capacity 250 Gb) But its reliability is lowered (4 times bigger probability of mistake). Question is, if Iomega will sell that device without its drives, 250 gb is not top capacity this day. Lets hope similar devices can be bought withut drives.
Gainward together with one of Kinc group (they made all 3d Mark records at once) set higest position even more higer. They used Athlon 64 FX-57 at 3928 Mhz (wau..) together with two brutaly overclocked Gainward PowerPack Ultra/3550PCX. That made new record, which is now set to 18614.
Will be from Asus, called Radeon X1800XT TOP and bear frequencies 700 Mhz core and 1600 Mhz memory. It should be enough to match difference between GeForce 7800GTX. Card will bear enhanced cooling, and special power connector. Price is unknown, but probably wont be low.
Should contain new Intel Woodcrest processor (continuation of 65 nm xeon). That soiunds good, but even better news is, that cipset for those processors (called Blackford) should provide that bus twice, one for each core, which can really bring high throughput. First those processors should be on market in 2nd part of 2006, so lets wait.
