CECT readies watches with built-in phone Microsoft selected ATI as technology supplier for Xbox NV36=GeForce 5700. Proved by MSI ASUS P4P800S-E/P4P800S two boards to be unveiled tomorrow VIA starts validation program for DDR400 modules CECT readies watches with built-in phone Following Samsung and NTT DoCoMo, Chinese Electronics Corporation Telecom (CECT) is planning to start sales of CDMA2000 1xRTT phone that is built in watches. According to sources, the phone will be made by South Korean Telson Electronics. It is planned to produce about 30 000 such devices as the gadget is rather expensive – about $1070. The telephone is equipped with CSTN LCD (256 colors), offers 16 ringtones. Moreover, there is possibility to attach rotating VGA-camera. We reckon it will be the most expensive cellular phone in China. Microsoft selected ATI as technology supplier for Xbox ATI Technologies Inc. today announced it has entered into a technology development agreement with Microsoft Corp. Under the agreement, ATI is developing custom, leading-edge graphics technologies for use in future Xbox products and services. As Robbie Bach, senior vice president of the Home and Entertainment Division at Microsoft said, ATI was selected after thorough reviewing the top graphics technologies in development and determining that ATI´s technical vision fits perfectly with the future direction of Xbox. Anyway, gaining Microsoft´s trust, ATI strenghtening it´s position in graphic market and game industry. NV36=GeForce 5700. Proved by MSI As our collegaues at Korean DarkCrow told, at MSI Technical Forum unveiled company’s plans on future VNIDIA GPU-based videocards. That roadmap shows that NV36 will be called the Geforce FX 5700. The most impressive thing in the roadmap is frequencies – GPU clock is 500
MHz, Memory clock – 500/100 MHz. New videocards will be equipped with 128 MB
of RAM (DDR2 we guess – although it is not told clearly). MSI confirmed that
GPUs will be produced using 0.13 micron process by IBM. MSI roadmap implies
that the chip will be announced in the middle of September. ASUS P4P800S-E/P4P800S two boards to be unveiled tomorrow As it is told in tomorrow´s ASUSTeK Computer Inc. press-release, company "introduced" the ASUS P4P800S-E motherboard based on the latest Intel 848P chipset. The all-new motherboard supports Intel´s Pentium 4 processor on 800MHz FSB (front side bus) and future Prescott processor, and incorporated the exclusive Wi-Fi slot and revolutionary ASUS Intelligence (AI) features found only on ASUS solutions. Besides supporting the 3.2GHz+ Pentium 4 processor on 800MHz FSB, the P4P800S-E is ready for Intel´s next-generation Prescott processor. Leveraging the Intel ICH5R chipset, which is the first South Bridge to integrate Serial ATA and RAID 0 and 1 functions, the motherboard comes equipped with fast data transfer at 150MB/sec and stripping and mirroring functions to enhance hard disk performance and data protection. The Wi-Fi slot, based on the 802.11b standard, is specifically designed for the ASUS WiFi-b WLAN card to set up an environment for home wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b WLAN card bundles the exclusive Software AP (access point) to save the extra cost of an actual AP. In addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities and applications that allow quick connection to notebooks, PDAs and other WLAN peripherals. The exclusive slot also supports the 802.11g standard for future upgrades. In the current Internet-driven economy, fast Internet connection is critical, and the P4P800S-E, with Intel´s CSA Gigabit LAN integrated, provides just that. Transferring data at 1000Mbps, CSA Gigabit LAN combines speed and stability. For expansion, easy peripheral connectivity and high-speed data transfer, the P4P800S-E employed industry-leading specifications such AGP 8x graphics interface, IEEE 1394 and maximum 8 USB 2.0 ports. Specifications: P4P800S-E

VIA starts validation program for DDR400 modules Just the same way it was done for DDR333 modules, VIA Technologies Inc. has joined with Advanced Validation Labs (AVL), which will conduct a validation program of DDR400 memory modules with Via chipsets. The VIA validation will test a wide range of DDR400 memory modules using Via´s PT800 chipset for Intel Corp. processors and the KT600 chipset for Advanced Micro Devices processors. The tests are aimed at assuring the compatibility of modules with the VIA chipsets. It resembles validation effort by Intel, which validates the compatibility of memory modules with Intel chipsets. By the way, alike program was launced by MSI.
