IDF 2007: The low-down on 45nm
ITpro – IT PR – Sep 19, 2007
For workstation applications Smith claims a 23 per cent speedup running multiple applications (SpecScape SolidWorks and Fluent) with Penryn. “For simultaneous multithreading we have for the first time not only a quad core with Nehalem but one that runs two threads per core; if you have a parallelisable workload the most efficient way to run that workload is in a multithreaded environment” he said. For desktop systems Intel’s benchmarks for 3GHz quad core PCs running applications like photo editing and 3D editing show performance increase of only 10 per cent but with a DiVx decoder rewritten to use SSE4 instructions the speed up is 63 per cent. The operating system can allocate different processes to different cores but this isn’t using all the capabilities of the new systems. Fewer desktop applications today are written for multithreading so we’ll need new versions of software to take better advantage of the extra cores and threads directly.

TrustedReviews – Sep 19, 2007
The card reader has been updated to accept SDHC cards which enables you up to use 32GB of portable films and games. Since the initial launch in 2005 30000 GP2Xs have been sold making it around 1700 times less prolific than the DS. Although that does mean that 30000 people have been convinced that the idea of not having to pay for your games is a good one – which it assuredly is. You can get your hands on the F200 from next month and shelling out £125 for the privileged about the same price as the new PSP Lite.
SanDisk announces the new Sansa View
AME – AME – Sep 19, 2007
‘SanDisk’s Sansa View video player innovates beyond the typical video loading procedure making it easy for consumers to transfer videos natively using widely available software. Most popular formats are supported via embedded player functionality (H. 264 WMV and MPEG4) or via a one-time software download of the Sansa Media Converter which quickly transcodes numerous video files including DivX. ) In addition the microSD card allows users to easily move their content to a cell phone or other mobile device.
