Playstation 4

Na kaip naujokas as Jums tamstos pasakysiu trumpai ir aiskiai apie "PS4". Sony isleidusi PS3 konsole 2006 metais pranese, jog si konsole tarnaus daug ilgiau negu PS ar PS2. Treciosios kartos gerulis irenginys tures vartotojus dziuginti bent jau 10 metu. Taip kad be 2016 net nesitikekit kasko kito. Apie Natal'ijas galiu pasakyti tik tiek jog si ispudinga technologija geriausiu atveju bus naudojama tokiems zaidimams kaip boulingas, golfas, tenisas... todek kad ji yra netiksli ir turi vadinama Lagg atsilikima priesingai Sony "dilde" turi tik keliu mm paklaida be atsilikimo ir igalina zaisti netgi rimtus FPS. Aciu uz demesi.

IBM launches Power7 chip, systems

IBM on Monday is launching its long-anticipated Power7 processor and systems based on the chip.

 

The processor is a big step for IBM, integrating eight processing cores--four times the number of cores in the prior-generation Power6--in one chip package, with each core capable of executing four tasks--called "threads"--turning an individual chip into a virtual 32-core processor. As a yardstick, Intel's high-end Xeon processors--systems that Power7 will compete with--typically have two threads per processing core and contain four cores.

 

Blg Blue has already tipped its hand on the Power7 chip in discussions about its upcoming Blue Water supercomputer.

 

Power7 fuses the flagship Power chip design with key technology from a separate "Cell" processor--the latter was part of IBM's Roadrunner supercomputer system at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. "We took some of that genetic material from the Cell program--ways to do floating point (calculations)--and embedded that right into the Power7 core," Bradley McCredie, an IBM Fellow in the Systems and Technology Group, told CNET last year.

 

Rivals include Hewlett-Packard servers based on Intel's Xeon and "Tukwila" Itanium processors and servers from Sun Microsystems.

 

New Power7 systems

 

The new Power7 systems include:

 

* IBM Power 780: a new category of scalable, high-end servers, featuring an advanced modular design with up to 64 Power7 cores.

* IBM Power 770: a midrange system with up to 64 Power7 cores, featuring higher performance per core than Power6 processors and using up to 70 percent less energy for the same number of cores as Power6 processors.

* IBM Power 755: a high-performance computing cluster node with 32 Power7 cores.

 

IBM is touting the Power7's ability to manage millions of transactions in real time--necessary for applications such as smart electrical grids. IBM said electric utilities can move from processing less than one million meter reads per day, in a traditional grid for example, to more than 85 million reads per day in a smart grid.

 

eMeter, a leading maker of software that runs e-grids, ran a successful benchmark on IBM Power6 systems for more than 20 million smart meters. "Combining eMeter and IBM's Power7 we are confident we can hit much higher numbers to meet their needs," Scott Smith, eMeter client business manager, said in a statement.

taigi tai ne PS4, bet pats CPU jau paruostas,visai neblogai skamba tie 32 branduoliai,4x daugiau nei iki siol buves ir PS3 naudojamas Power6.be to didesnis nasumas vieno branduolio ,bei naudoja daug maziau energijos palyginus su Power6.
