AMD set to launch 'Phenom' quad core chip.
Saturday, June 23, 2007
AMD will soon launch its own quad core desktop chips with 'Phenom' designed name in attempt to compete its very old and the only rival Intel Corp..
It is due launch after the second half of 2007 with the similar architecture of its Barcelona quad core Opteron server processor in mid 2007.AMD entered into the market with its original Opteron server chip in 2003, but the company began to slip back again when Intel launched its quad-core Xeon and dual-core Core 2 duo chips in 2006, pushing both of them on a price war.
AMD's current line of desktop chips ranges from the high-end Athlon 64 FX to the Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 and entry-level Sempron. After launching Phenom, AMD will offer a high-end Phenom FX (in one or two quad-core chips), Phenom X4 and Phenom X2 (in quad-core and dual-core), Athlon X2 and Sempron.
Intel already sells chips for quad-core desktops too, But AMD claims that it has an engineering advantage over Intel since its quad-core design uses a single processor die instead of Intel's approach of connecting a pair of dual-core processors also called as "duct-taped-together dual-dual core."

Browser War Continues and we have a new Contender-APPLE INC..
It has been quite a very long time since the browser fight has erupted, but we haven't yet found out the real winner.Quite for sometime many had got their answer after the launch of the beautiful open-source browser Mozilla Firefox.
Now the war has again got some more air as Apple Inc. has entered in this war with the launch of its very own Browser Safari for Windows-based PCs which is an open-source project.Safari was launched for Macintosh-based PCs 5 years ago and it captured 5% of Internet Explorer[IE] users i.e. 18 million users,Jobs said.Internet Explorer has the lion share in this competition i.e. 78% while Mozilla Firefox has gained 15% of the total market.Apple Inc. claims that the Safari browser loads web pages 2 times faster than IE 7 and 1.6 times faster than Mozilla Firefox.
The missing feature in Safari Windows is "email webpages" - Mac users can email full copies of websites while Windows users can only send the link of the current webpage.
The best feature of Safari is "The Private Browsing" - when turned on, the sites that you visit are not added to the browser's history and searches are not even saved in the Google box.Quite fishy.(for some really "secret" work : )) getting what i am saying.)
After gaining some market after its beautiful Mac OS Tiger Apple might be able to capture the internet Browsing market by beating its very old rival Microsoft and the new outstanding competitor Mozilla.
