NYTimes is reporting that Google, Intel and Sony have joined hands to develop Google TV, a set-top box with web browsing functionality. The venture will see Google taking advantage of its advertising experience, Intel trying to head on to television space from computing whereas Sony trying to gain foothold in the competitive TV market.
Google’s [...]

 
SSDs and netbooks aren’t the best of friends but Intel’s trying to change it with the introduction of X25-V Value SSDs. Intel reckons this 40GB X25-V SSD could help netbook users in terms of performance or work as a dual-drive setup for desktop users for an affordable price.
The new SSDs are based on 34nm [...]

 
Intel and Micron’s joint venture, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT) has achieved a major breakthrough by developing the world’s first 25nm-based NAND flash. Using the 25nm process technology, Intel believes the NAND can give consumer electronics manufacturers a way to integrate larger amounts of storage in a cost-effective manner.
Intel and Micron has developed an 8GB [...]

 
ION2 did not come up at the CES but now we’ve got some meaty details regarding the next-gen ION by way of Asus’ EeeTop PC’s brochure leak. Blogeee discovered the ION2 mention in a listing of Asus’ EeeTop ET2010PNT and according to the doc, ION2 is the same as G310 GPU, which supposedly is a [...]

 
LG and Intel’s alliance from last year is finally showing its fruits. At the CES keynote in Las Vegas, Intel’s CEO showed off an unannounced LG device, GW990.
The GW990 is based on Intel’s Moorestown platform and runs Moblin 2.1 OS. It features a 4.8-inch touchscreen display with an aspect ratio of 2.13:1 and resolution [...]

 
Intel has officially introduced its next-gen line of Atom processors for netbooks, nettops and AIOs. The platform known as Pine Trail is Intel’s first to integrate graphics and memory controllers onto the CPU die. With graphics, memory controller and CPU integrated together, Intel claims the new processors are smaller – thanks to 45nm manufacturing process [...]

 
Seems the ongoing semiconductor war between Intel and AMD will end soon. Intel and AMD have reached an agreement where they’ve decided to end all legal disputes and focus on innovation. Both the companies have entered into a cross licensing agreement for 5 years and Intel will pay AMD $1.25 billion along with an agreement [...]

 
Intel has introduced Reader, a nifty gadget for people affected with reading disabilities, dyslexia or partial blindness. The rugged Intel Reader consists of a camera, OCR engine and a screen that takes pictures of the printed text, converts and displays/reads aloud the scanned text. It also plays MP3s and converts the scanned docs into an [...]

 
ARM-based chips are mostly used in consumer electronic devices that demand less processing power but today’s introduction of a dual-core Cortex-A9 processor is set to change that. ARM has unveiled the new processor that clocks 2GHz of speed while consuming only 1.9 watts of power. According to tests done by ARM, the new processor expectedly, [...]

 
Intel in conjunction with Micron have developed a 3-bit-per-cell (3bpc) NAND technology fabricated with 34nm. This breakthrough has made it possible for them to create the industry’s smallest and cost-effective 32-gigabit (Gb) chip that can be used in storage devices like USB drives and flash cards.
The 3bpc on 34nm NAND is important for both the [...]

 
Intel has issued a firmware update that tries to fix the data corruption problem found in the 34nm SSDs. The issue fixed was not a big one unless a user used BIOS password protection. With the out-of-factory firmware equipped SSDs, the drives would become inaccessible in case when the user changes or disables the BIOS [...]

 
This has taken some time but it’s finally done. Intel has confirmed they’ll be fighting their $1.45b fine legally and have filed an appeal for the same in the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg. Back in May, Intel was imposed a $1.45b fine by the EU Commission on account of using business tactics to [...]

 
Intel has delivered the industry’s first Solid State Drives (SSDs) based on 34nm manufacturing process. The 34nm based SSDs is superior to 50nm variant and boasts advantages like drop-in compatibility, latency reduction by 25 percent and faster random write Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) which is now up to 6,600 and 35,000 for write and [...]

 
While Google has already hit a low blow to Intel by announcing Chrome OS for netbooks, Intel is still seeking a partnership with them for another small form factor device, the MIDs. Digitimes is citing MID makers in Taiwan that Intel is supposedly in talks with Google for their Android platform to be developed on [...]

 
Intel and Nokia have announced their partnership that includes more than supplying mobile chips to Nokia. Their ‘long-term relationship’ involves developing a whole new class of Intel Architecture based computing devices that will harness the power of computing prowess as well as mobile broadband communications. The new age devices are promised to be beyond smartphones, [...]
