Using 27 MHz frequency range enables to use the devices in 1.5-radius. Noise tuning out is provided by single-channel eight-ID data transfers. Optical sensor resolution makes 400 dpi.

Dell starts sales of the new Dell/EMC CX400 SAN server

Dell/EMC CX400 is designed for SANs (Storage Area Networks), being a data storage system, capable of working with various data, including streaming video. 2GB FibreChannel guarantees up to 680 MB/s throughput at up to 4.4 TB (terabytes) capacity and up to 60,000 request/min processing, enabled by up to 60-hard-disk configurations.

The module features 3U form-factor (450x603.3x134mm), weighing up to 40 kg. It utilizes 1-inch high 36GB 10K/15K RPM or 73GB 10ë RPM FC-AL hard disks and supports RAID 0, 1, 1/0, 3, 5. Each drive bases on 800 MHz Xeon. The price with 3-year warranty makes over $60.000.

Intel launches Fab 11X in Rio Rancho

The Fab size is over 1 million square feet in size. Clean room space makes about 200,000 square feet.

According to Intel, the company has at least 6 fabs for 300-mm production. The first — D1C- is in Hillsboro, Ore. After Fab 11x Intel plans to launch 300-mm production at Fab 24 in Leixlip, Ireland in H2 2003. This fab will be the first to make 0.09-micron chips. Another fab in Chandler, Arizona, was re-equipped from 8-inch to 300-mm wafers. D1D located in Hillsboro near D1C, will also make chips from 300-mm wafers simultaneously with transition to 0.07-micron. The sixth is the $250 million RP1 R&D Fab in Hillsboro, opened last year for researching 300-mm silicon wafer processing technologies.
