Since the launch of the 4004 in 1971 by Intel, the number of transistors integrated processors has continued to grow. Nowadays, a Core i7 Gulftown possesses eg 1.17 billion (against 2300 for the 4004), and some like the GT400 GPU Nvidia even reach 3 billion transistors. These achievements were made possible by a still finer etching transistors, and the development of technologies - Strained Silicon or more recently the High-k Metal Gate - to provide solutions to the difficulties over time, as leakage currents which result in an increase in consumption.

Rumors on the Wii's successor: Wii 2: New Nintendo console without a hard disk
Nintendo Wii 2 is not equipped with the hard drive. Only 8 gigabytes (GB) flash memory are therefore on board. This would have been but 16 times more capacity than the previous Wii, but compared to Playstation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360, the new Nintendo device from old: Sony ships the PS3 factory hard drives with a size of up to 320 GB Microsoft's Daddelkiste shines with up to 250 GB of storage.
Should the speculation prove to be correct, it would be the small flash memory, especially for online services is a bottleneck. Games, music, patches and downloadable content, the 8-GB-brand reach. Apparently Nintendo lays the solution of the problem in the hands of the user: The report mentions a slot for SD cards.

Seagate provides a terabyte of data in a single dish 3.5
Seagate announced the first 3.5-inch hard drive that uses plates with a storage density per area never reached so far, that is 625 Gigabits per square inch and by which each is capable of storing 1TB of data. The first hard drives that use it are the external series Seagate GoFlex Desk which include cuts of up to a maximum of 3TB.
Barracuda models will then follow, again with a maximum capacity of 3TB and cuts 2TB, 1TB and 1.5 TB. "Organizations of all sizes and Consumers worldwide are amassing digital content at light speed, generating huge demand for storage of digital content Every kind of imaginable, "said Rocky Pimentel, Seagate executive vice president of Worldwide Sales and Marketing.

Case PSN: over 100 million accounts compromised
Sony has discovered that the intrusion into its servers on the machines as Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), in addition to systems Playstation Network (PSN) / Qriocity, which increased the number of accounts corrupted over 100 million and represents One of the biggest computer hacking of all time. The Japanese giant has just published a press release today explaining the extent of damage.
The users' personal information were stolen between April 16 and April 17. This represents 24.6 million accounts associated with online computer games such as EverQuest or DC Universe Online. It is a flaw that can easily give rise to phishing or identity theft. Bank account details of users Austrian, German, Dutch and Spanish have also been stolen but they date from 2007, which somewhat minimizes their importance.

New iMac: all quad-core, and Thunderbolt
The rumors had not deceived, Apple has revamped its line of iMac today. The all-in-One emblematic keep the same shell, but it conceals real news. The first is the arrival of Sandy Bridge Intel quad core on all models, while the first dual core prices were still above. Apple chose i5 standard (2.5 GHz, 2.7 GHz or 3.1 GHz), and leaves the option of Core i7 (2.8 GHz or 3.4 GHz), the main difference between Both ranges are, remember, the presence of HyperThreading.

Elpida: of the 25 nm DRAM for July
The manufacturer Elpida is currently working on the development of chips with 2 Gb DDR3 memory etched into 25 nm. Capable of operating at a frequency of 1866 MHz with a voltage of 1.5 volts (at 1600 MHz with only 1.35 V), these chips DRAM posted a 15% lower consumption (operating) that displayed by their equivalent 30 nm.
Standby consumption is even lower than 20%. Mass production of these chips 2Gb is scheduled for July. Elpida finally indicates he is also working on chips with 4 Gb of mass production could begin before the end of the year.

Still no SATA 6Gb / s on the iMac
Apple takes always curious how the new technologies. The firm is alternately the first to rush a new standard (USB Thnuderbolt) or the last. So while the new iMacs have Intel chipsets compatible SATA 6Gb / s, internal drives are still wired SATA 3 Gb / s. More than a delay, it's a step backwards since the MacBook Pro 2011 are wired SATA 6Gb / s.
But some users would suffer performance problems when SATA 6Gb / s is installed in these machines. According to our colleagues MacBidouille, the fault lie with the SATA ribbon cable, poor quality. Remains until the next update, the iMac will only benefit performance offered by the latest generation of SSD.

Chip sales rose in March
If you believe the figures published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), worldwide sales of chips would have reached $ 25.3 billion in March. This represents an increase of 2.5% in February, and 8.6% in March 2010. In one year, the U.S. market jumped 18.1%, while the Asia Pacific market grew by only 3.3%.
On the entire first quarter of this year, chip sales reached $ 75.8 billion, an increase of only 0.4% over the previous quarter but 8.6% still on one year. The MLS does not advance to give a precise estimate on the figures for the current quarter, but said however that they should be higher than the first quarter.

In Texas everything is bigger, even Samsung
Samsung will invest $ 3.6 billion (approx. 2.4 billion euros) in its sole U.S. plant located in Texas, to transform it into a giant complex of over 213 000 m2. This will be one of the largest factories in the U.S. in all categories. It should make for processors and memory manufacturers such as Apple.
Samsung take this location to limit the costs of customs, transport and reduce delivery times. It is true that Apple products are assembled in China, but research and development takes place in the United States. This is also the case for many other manufacturers. Samsung also hopes to outsource chip manufacturing to TSMC and Globalfoundries.
