2 GB DDR SDRAM PC2100 memory units from Elpida

They feature low-profile 1.2" (30.48 mm) 184-pin package that´s very attractive for 1U servers; CAS Latency 2/2.5. Units are to be made using 0.13-micron technical process and 512 Mbit DDR SDRAM chips (36 per unit).

Unlike traditional TSOP package, enabling 36 chips per 6.4-6.8 mm unit, new memories feature the new TCP — Tape Carrier Package. This reduces unit thickness to 4.8 mm including heatsink cover plates.

Currently 2 GB ECC EBD21RD4ABNA units are available organized as 256M x 72 bits, 2 banks, with 2.5±0.2 V supply voltage.

ATI: RV250 and R300 on July, 17?

As you know, NVIDIA decided to use only 0.13-micron process technology for its NV18 and NV30 chips (with the usual contractor — TSMC). So, according to provisional data, such boards will appear only in the end of the third quarter. In its turn, ATI, for the sake of efficiency, decided to make both 0.15-, and 0.13-micron chips. R300 production will completely transit to 0.13-micron process technology closer to the end of 2002.

According to provisional data, we should expect new RV250-based cards from ATI already in September.

New AMD Athlon XP 1800+ mobile CPU

Its actual clock rate is 1.53 GHz, 66 MHz higher than its predecessor, Athlon XP 1700+, has. Hewlett-Packard, Sony, and ACER Europe were the first to release novelty-based solutions.

Hewlett-Packard presented HP Pavilion ZE1250 model with Athlon XP 1800+, 15" LCD panel, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB hard disk, CD-RW/DVD combo for $1799. Besides, new CPU will be featured in the Compaq Computer Presario 900 notebook line. Sony will ship new notebooks with its Vaio FXA series, ACER Europe — with Acer Aspire 1300 series.

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ costs $335 in wholesale over 1000 unit consignments.

Toshiba´s DynaBook P5/S24PME with detachable keyboard

DynaBook P5/S24PME (PAP5S24PME) bases on 2.4 GHz desktop Pentium 4, has 256 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM, 16" 1280È1024 LCD panel (Fine SuperView low response time technology), NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go graphics (32 MB DDR), 40 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard disk, 16/10/24/8x CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo, floppy, and the full range of interfaces: 56kbps modem, 10/100BASE-TX LAN, 2 PC Card Type II/III slots, 3 USB 1.1 ports, IEEE1394 port, IrDA, video-out, etc.

The insteresting thing is that wireless keyboard can be easily removed from its seat to control the notebook from a more comfortable distance (having in mind the 16" display).

But the energy consumption of up to 90 W is not usual for a notebook. Though the company guarantees that Li-Ion battery supplied enables 2.5-hour operation.

Novelty size is 346.4 È 327.5 È 57 mm, weight — about 4.4 kg. The notebook with pre-installed Windows XP Home Edition and Office XP Personal will be first presented on the Japanese market first for about $2800.
