AMD News - Mustang Mustang is the High End version of the Athlon Thunderbird Core. It is suppose to come with 512 Kb cache at its launch (onboard). In comparison Pentium III come with 256 Kb onboard cache and the P3 Xeon @ 1Ghz equally. So it will have a definitive advantage at start. Earlier, sources said that the cache will go up to 8 Mb but this has been reduced to 2 Mb. Again 2 Mb cache is quite substantial. P3 Xeon reach 2 Mb maximum. Itanium however will bring the total cache to 4 Mb ! Mustang is suppose to come out in the Month of January. |

Sun News Nooo... Not OUR Sun.. But Sun Microsystems... They have had a hectic week. They've acquired Cobalt Networks which is a small but quite prolific entry-level server-appliance product manufacturer (read low cost networks). Cobalt produced the gorgeous Cube and had had a fudge with Nintendo which released the Qube (same name !!!) AFAIR.. The sale is valued at Rs 52 Bln. This acquisition comes after that of the Starfire Server technology from Cray, this forming part of the Sun Strategy to offer a Wide spectrum of products. Secondly, they launched the UltraSparc III CPU which debuts at 750 Mhz and which has been named "Cheetah". |

Nvidia Strikes again It was rumoured since last month.. Now it has been confirmed. Not content of being King in the Video Field with its TNT and Geforce range, Nvidia plans to strike the Chipset market where some serious competition awaits it : Intel, AMD, Via, ALI, SIS.. All won't accept that a new comer grabs their market share... Will Nvidia emulate its wins in the Video Market? Nvidia's chipset will apparently feature Geforce engine (the logical suite to TNT core...) and will compete with the Forthcoming VIA chipset and those from SIS (sis 540, 630..) |

Support Freenet "Freenet is a peer-to-peer network designed to allow the distribution of information over the Internet in an efficient manner, without fear of censorship. Freenet is completely decentralized, meaning that there is no person, computer, or organisation in control of Freenet or essential to its operation. This means that Freenet cannot be attacked like centralized peer-to-peer systems such as Napster. Freenet also employs intelligent routing and caching meaning that it learns to route requests more efficiently, automatically mirrors popular data, makes network flooding almost impossible, and moves data to where it is in greatest demand. All of this makes it much more efficient and scalable than systems such as Gnutella. " 'Nough Said, go now to here |
