Of 19 nm NAND flash from Toshiba

While Intel and Micron have just opened a plant in Singapore for the manufacture of 25 nm NAND on the waters of 300 mm, and Intel recently announced its etching technology NAND flash memory in 20 nm Here we learned that Toshiba is already in the process of developing NAND flash memory chips etched into 19 nm.

Thus, if the first 20 nm chips in IM Flash Technogologies should leave the plants in the second half of 2011, the first copies of NAND flash memory chips 2-bit MLC 64 GB (8 GB) in 19-nm Toshiba should be available by the end of the month, with mass production expected in the third quarter of this year.

New GPU Server Asus

Asus has announced the ECS4000 server, a 2U server designed for fans of GPGPU. Based on an Intel platform, it supports LGA1366 processors (two connectors) and supports 144 GB of RAM maximum, with 18 locations DDR3. But the server is especially interesting in one respect: its expansion slots. Indeed, it combines the PCI-Express Chipset Intel 5520 with nForce 200 chips, which can offer a number of PCI-Express 16x record: there are nine connectors.

Some details on the chipsets Panther Point

So we are gradually approaching the launch date of future Ivy Bridge Intel processors (well, he'll still have to wait even until 2012), the first information on the chipsets that will accompany these Panther Point CPU begin to appear on the canvas. Three chipsets and should be born in a first step, H77, Z75 and Z77.

The first segment is for the Mainstream, currently occupied by the chipset H67. The other two will replace the P67 chipset and Z78 Performance in the segment. Differences in the Z75 and Z77 are not yet known, but it is known, however, already that these three chipsets provide support Panther Point 4-port USB 3.0 and support the three video outputs of the chips Ivy Bridge.

• Intel's Panther Point to include native USB 3.0 support, Z68 chipset to launch May 8th? (12/04/2011)

G. Skill Launches DDR3 Memory Kit-2300 Mhz for Sandy Bridge

G. Skill has announced the launch of the 8GB kit (2x4Gb) DDR3 fastest in the world, operating at 2300 MHz CL9 with only 1.65V voltage. This memory kit will join the award-winning Ripjaws-X and will be available soon through authorized distributors G. Skill. As more and requires more memory capacity, G.

Skill and research and development department are dedicated to continually develop products faster and more efficient based on sticks of 4GB capacity. Following the wonderful achievement of DDR3 1900Mhz and DDR3 2200 Mhz, G. Skill has once again step forward to achieve reach the 2300 Mhz memory in a kit based on 4Gb sticks.

The Radeon HD 6770 and 6750 on the AMD website

The Radeon HD 6770 and 6750 recently made their appearance on the AMD website. It would seem to be a leak of the Chinese site, the page does not mention U.S. still those cards that should arrive soon. The page gives very little detail. We just know that the Radeon HD 6770 has an etched chip in 40 nm and incorporating 800 stream processors, 40 texture units and 16 ROPs.

Rumors speak of a Radeon HD 5770 class, which is quite possible since the old chip has exactly the same characteristics. He'll have to wait to know the operating frequency of the new card to see if anything changes. Similarly, the AMD website provides only a few characteristics of the Radeon HD 6750.

Verbatim: An SSD of 128 GB USB 3.0

The manufacturer Verbatim has announced the launch of three external SSD in its Store 'n' Go Equipped with a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, the SSD of 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB have an aluminum hull. They embark chip MLC NAND flash memory organized on 8 channels, the controller used is not specified by Verbatim. Performance-wise, the 32GB model is capable of reaching speeds of around 150 MB / s read and 60MB / s write.

Intel and Micron in Singapore for NAND

Intel and Micron have just opened a factory in Singapore for the manufacture of 25 nm NAND on the waters of 300 mm. It will be managed by the joint venture IM Flash Singapore. The plant represents an investment of $ 3 billion. It is expected to employ 1,200 workers when it reaches full capacity by the end of the year.

This is one of the first plants of its kind in the Lion City and its Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, spoke during the opening ceremony to welcome the new jobs it represents. 6 employees of the plant out of 10 Singaporeans. The plant has released its first water a month earlier than expected and the first results are very positive.
