AMD sulks the Thunderbolt

Advanced Micro Devices said that it saw no future in the bus Thunderbolt announced last week that Apple and Intel. It should be understood that the firm does not count in its chipsets incorporate any time soon. AMD has not participated in the development of this standard. It could still buy a license.

That is what we have already made many hard drive manufacturers including Seagate, which was also outside the project (see "Thunderbolt: hard drives in Nikon SLR) The company said however that the reasons for rejection are technological. He believes the Thunderbolt does not gain enough to justify its adoption and it reduces the bandwidth offered to the screens since the DisplayPort 1.2 can handle 17 Gb / s.

Giving a boost to the fiber optic

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated the first optical fiber in the world with a heart of zinc selenite, a semiconductor material. Scientists were able to demonstrate that such fiber could transmit a greater wavelength and had better quality photonic a conventional model. Specifically, the crystal structure of this compound can be a signal that can have a wavelength of 15 microns.

The 10 nm Intel Will he EUV?

Intel announced it had begun to define the rules of its 10 nm lithography and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) were late. According to his schedule, Intel will market the end of 2013 14 nm and 10 nm two years later. It is at this stage that the firm has abandoned immersion lithography using a laser wavelength of 193 nm to go to the EUV.

Intel hopes that within four years, the technology has matured enough to provide attractive returns without incurring exorbitant costs too. Intel explained that the sine qua non for the EUV is 10 nm is used as scanners ready for mass production of wafers available either for the second half of 2012.
