iiyama N9133HC-1/2: two new Centrino-based notebooks Update: Soltek introduces K8T800-based SL-K8AV2-RL for Athlon 64 IDF Fall 2003: new 64-bit Tanglewood; some info on Tiano New exhibits for our Hardware Museum: Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 — CT4520 and CT4500 EasyDisk Platinum — USB 2.0 drive from I-O Data iiyama´s 10 monitors — ready to ´back to school´ season Photo of the day: Albatron KX18D Pro 2 in our lab Gigabyte K8NNXP on Nforce 3 in our lab IDF Fall 2003: Prescott, Dothan, Nocona, Potomac, Bulverde, Lindenhurst, Twin Castle, Tiano Hynix expands Pseudo SRAM product line up for mobile applications iiyama N9133HC-1/2: two new Centrino-based notebooks iiyama introduced two A4 notebooks that will go on sale in the beginning of September, N9133HC-1 and N9133HC-2. The entry-level model (indexed "1") features 1.40 GHz Pentium M. The "extended" versionn is equipped with 1.60 GHz CPU and 512Mb RAM, with all other features being the same. 
Update: Soltek introduces K8T800-based SL-K8AV2-RL for Athlon 64 Soltek Computer announced new SL-K8AV2-RL motherboard on VIA K8T800 for AMD Athlon 64 processors. Here we post the correct photo of this novelty: SL-K8AV2-RL features VIA VT8237 Southbridge supporting 800MHz Hyper-Transport, AGP 8X, Serial ATA RAID (the initial version, SL-K8AV-R, has VT8235 Southbridge). The new baseboard also has 8 x USB2.0, 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet and provides a wide list of overclocking features in BIOS, including FSB, Vcore, AGP, DIMM and CPU multiplier adjust." P.S. The Soltek SL-K8AN-RL on NVIDIA nForce3 (below), photo of which we posted before by mistake, belongs to the same Black Thunder series for Athlon 64 and will be announced later.
 IDF Fall 2003: new 64-bit Tanglewood; some info on Tiano We got to know more about Intel ´s IDF Fall 2003 in San Jose (September 16-18) already described in our new. The company is also going to offer some information about the high-end Itanium chips codenamed "Tanglewood". Tanglewood will host up to 16 CPU cores in a single package. Initially it´s expected to be released as a 4-way model made using 90nm process. 8- and 16-way chips are to arrive after the 65nm process is launched. Though it´s still early to speak of Tanglewood release dates, considering the approximate release dates of dual-core Itanium codenamed "Montecito", we assume that Tanglewood might be announced in 2006. Already today Intel plans Tanglewood energy consumption not to exceed that of today´s Itanium. By the way, 16-way core is not an innovation for the company that already ships 16-core server chips. Tiano – this name will be given to BIOS being the first development of Intel´s EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) initiative. Launched several years ago, EFI is expected to replace usual 8-bit BIOS sometimes. Source: CNet

Photo of the day: Albatron KX18D Pro 2 in our lab Besides Gigabyte K8NNXP, we are also testing a board from Albatron — KX18D Pro 2 — on NVIDIA Nforce 2 Ultra 400 for AMD Athlon XP, Athlon, Duron processors.
Gigabyte K8NNXP on Nforce 3 in our lab We are currently testing Gigabyte K8NNXP motherboard on NVIDIA Nforce 3 (K8 Triton series) for AMD Athlon 64 processors.
IDF Fall 2003: Prescott, Dothan, Nocona, Potomac, Bulverde, Lindenhurst, Twin Castle, Tiano On the threshold of Intel Developer Forum, the first of which is scheduled to September 16-18, San Jose, CA, the Web is already offering some provisional information on what we might hear at IDF. The North American mass media already referred to Intel to say the company had already started sampling 90nm desktop Prescotts and mobile Dothans.According to the latest info, Intel plans to ship these chips in volumes in Q4 2003. At least, currently the company is sure that OEM orders will be delivered fully by the moment of official release. Today the 90nm process is implemented at D1C fab (Hillboro, Oregon) that works with 300mm wafers. At Fab 11X in New Mexico this process will be launched in Q4 2003; in Leixlip, Ireland, the 90nm process will be launched in H1 2004. It´s interesting that the first 90nm Intel Xeon codenamed Nocona is also to arrive in Q4 this year to be showcased at IDF. The first 90nm Xeon MP — Potomac — is scheduled to H2 2004. And there are some more novelties to be shown at IDF, according to provisional info:

Hynix expands Pseudo SRAM product line up for mobile applications Hynix Semiconductors Inc., announced successful validation of its Pseudo SRAM for next-generation mobile applications from multiple customers. As a result, Hynix is expecting a significant increase in its Pseudo SRAM revenue for the remainder of this year and projects $100M in Pseudo SRAM sales for 2004.  Hynix is currently mass-producing its16M and 32M Pseudo SRAM devices using its 0.15-micron process technology. The firm expects to begin mass production of its 64M-density device by first quarter of next year. The Hynix Pseudo SRAMs support supply and I/O voltages ranging from 1.8 to 3.0 volts, 75-ns or 85-ns access times and can go as low as 2-microamps in deep power down mode. Hynix has already begun supplying low-power DRAMs for adoption in next-generation mobile application and will begin mass production of its NAND Flash by the first quarter of next year.
