New Computer Category Named "Ultrabook"

Since developed several decades ago, computer form has evolved several times. Desktop and notebook probably the best known. Later appeared netbook, ultraportable notebooks, all in one PC, and Apple last introduced a tablet as new category of computers that increasingly popular.

Do not stop there, Intel is also trying to create a new computer category called ultrabook. The term ultrabook, Intel delivered at the event Computex 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan, which was held May 31 through June 4, 2011.
What is ultrabook and what the different with other computer categories? Ultrabook is a kind of notebook that is lightweight, but still equipped with high performance capabilities and have features such as tablets. The price is under 1000 U.S. dollars.

"Will there will be less confusion if you look at its shape. When you open it is visible is a PC, but if taken, just stay close and suddenly become a tablet. Is this a PC, tablet, I think it is quite necessary to debate," said Mooly Eden , Vice President of Intel, in Taipei, on Tuesday (31/05/2011).

The first product will be released to the market as a category are made ​​by Asus ultrabook with UX series. This product will exit the market started the Christmas holiday season and the coming New Year.

Tom Killroy, Senior Vice President of Intel, said, ultrabook created as a tool to provide very fast response. The device is designed to be active, continues to connect, and more responsive, similar to the tablet that much in circulation today, such as iPad and other Android-based devices. He said, ultrabook even expected to dominate the laptop market to 40 percent at the end of 2011 this.

MWC 2011: Low-Power LTE Modems In 2012, Atom-Based Medfield SoC Now Sampling

Though we still like to think of Intel first and foremost as a computer CPU company, the fact of the matter is the company is trying its hardest to expand their horizons. Among their expansion efforts are a push in to the smartphone space, and to further that Intel is at Mobile World Congress 2011 making their latest smartphone-related announcements.
The first announcement, and of course the one nearest and dearest to our hearts, is on the CPU side of things. Medfield – Intel’s next-generation Atom-based smartphone SoC is now sampling and will ship later this year. Intel still hasn’t thrown out a solid timeframe for when Medfield will ship, but Q4 is as good a guess as you’re going to get.
Medfield is the follow-up to Moorestown, Intel’s first Atom smartphone-sized SoC design that was launched only 9 months ago, and did not ship until the later half of last year. Moorestown has not had any major design wins, so while it’s out there you probably never have and never will see a Moorestown powered smartphone. As Intel’s first foray in to smartphone SoCs Moorestown had its teething issues – the principle platform was a 2 chip family, with only the Z6xx CPU manufactured in-house at 45nm, while the MP20 PCH containing the PowerVR SGX-based GPU and all other supporting hardware was a 65nm product manufactured at TSMC.

The importance of Medfield in Intel’s product lineup is that it should resolve Moorestown’s teething issues. The CPU and PCH are being integrated on to a single chip, and the entire product is being built on Intel’s 32nm process, which will allow handset makers to more easily fit Medfield in to phones thanks to the reduced chip count. Architecturally Medfield is not a significant overhaul – we’re still looking at a power optimized in-order Atom – but a die shrink for the CPU and effectively two die shrinks for the GPU should go a long way towards increasing performance; the last thing we heard in this respect is that GPU performance should double, while CPU performance has not been commented on. In any case at 32nm by the end of this year, Intel will have a process advantage over its SoC competition, who will still be on 4Xnm until they transition to 28nm some time next year.
Of course Medfield is not an entire smartphone on its own. Additional supporting chips – chiefly a modem – are necessary. As you may recall, Intel picked up Infineon’s wireless solutions business back in August of 2010, giving them modem technology to go with their Atom SoCs. Down the line we’ll see Infineon-derived modems integrated in to Atom SoCs, but for now Intel is still using separate modems developed by the new Intel Mobile Communications group, which is the basis of the other major piece of news coming from Intel today.
Intel’s first compact, low-power multi-mode LTE modem (LTE/3G/2G) will begin sampling later this year, and will ship roughly a year later in H2 of 2012. The multi-mode modem is important both for Intel and for Infineon’s traditional customers. For Intel it’s something to sell alongside Medfield, while for customers after just the modem it’s going to be among the first low-power LTE modems on the market. With the additional complexity of LTE, LTE modems had to be similarly beefed up compared to their 3G brethren, which in turn can hurt battery life. Low-power modems should bring power consumption back in balance with today’s 3G modems.

New IPv4 is not available, Migrate to IPv6

No more new IPv4 - The issue of new IPv4 will not available has resonated among the Internet players in recent years. Various calculations performed, and until the middle of last year, ending freepool IPv4 IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is estimated at around mid-2011.

IP Address allocation in the world is controlled by IANA, and the underneath there is the division of five regions based on geography. Indonesia shelter under the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), based in Australia.

February 1, 2011, IANA grant the request from APNIC, then give the last 2 blocks /8. And here, while ending stocks of IPv4 freepool in the IANA. Indeed, there are still 5 blocks /8 kept by the IANA, but the blocks are immediately distributed evenly to each region: Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Last five blocks will also be allocated to users in a manner that is much more stringent than before and the maximum is much smaller.

"This is a great history in the development of the internet in the world although it has been anticipated in advance," said Raúl Echeberría, Director of the Number Resource Organization (NRO), which is the official representative of IP address management institutions in each region. "The future of the Internet is IPv6. All relevant components must make concrete steps for immediate use IPv6," he said.

Endless stock of IPv4 is a heavy blow to most countries in the Asia Pacific region. "This region is the region with the largest population in the world and has rapid economic growth. Almost all the country's internet infrastructure is developing rapidly." Geoff Huston said , Chief Scientist APNIC.

Migration to IPv6

In the future, IPv6 is the definitive answer to the problem of IPv4 endless. IPv6 promises a much larger amount. If IPv4 only amounted to 4.3 billion IP, IPv6 totaled 4 trillion trillion trillion trillion IP.

In addition, the IPv6 protocol is also promising better security because security protocols are built, unlike IPv4 is optional.

All parties associated with the use of network and IP Address are expected at this time also began to migrate to IPv6. In some time to come, IPv4 and IPv6 running concurrently (dual-stack) until one day we can fully enjoy the use of IPv6.

Axioo Products will Appear at CES

CES - Soon exhibition Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011 will be held in Las Vegas, USA, 6-9 January 2011. Interesting in the event this time because one of the local computer manufacturers from Indonesia, Axioo, will also graced this grand exhibition.

That said David Kartono, VP Product Development & International Sales at Axioo recently introduced Axioo Picopad, the MID (mobile Internet devices) based on Android. He said the latest Axioo products will also be on display at CES as carrying the latest processor technology that will be launched at the same time.

However, he is still reluctant to reveal the product in question. According to him, his party will officially announce it at the time of launch will be based on agreements with partners.
According to Budi Wahyu Jati, Corporate Director, Axioo International Division, product development is now done by the internal design team. Axioo seeks to create products according to the Indonesian market needs and using latest technology. Prices are affordable even to be one measure of product development for consumer easily absorbed.
