S3 Graphics Chrome S27 Graphics Cards Now Available Atmel Announces WiMAX Specific Transceiver NEC Develops Next-Gen UWB Wireless Transceiver Technology Fujitsu Ships LifeBook N6410 Notebook Based On Intel Core Duo Supermicro Releases Low Voltage Dual-Core Xeon Server Solution Fujitsu Siemens Launches Pocket LOOX C550 S3 Graphics Chrome S27 Graphics Cards Now Available S3 Graphics today announced its PCI Express Chrome S27 graphics cards are now available for immediate purchase through Newegg.com. Featured on Newegg.com will be two models of Chrome S27 graphics cards; the first featuring 128MB DDR3 memory for US$98, and a second with 256MB DDR3 memory for US$128. Cards feature core clock of 702Mhz, a robust DirectX 9.0 implementation featuring 4 vertex and 8 pixel processors, Hi-Def visual experience, and good performance-per-watt operation.  The S3 Graphics Chrome S27 cards feature a range of connectivity options including support for DVI and VGA display interfaces along with Macrovision-certified TV-out. This connectivity is further enhanced through native 1080p HDTV support and widescreen display capability with Chromotion 3.0, the next generation programmable video engine with hardware accelerated motion compensation and WMV-HD support. The S3 Graphics Chrome S27 also features an efficient and power smart design, coupled with Fujitsu's advanced 90nm process technology. Source: S3 Graphics
Atmel Announces WiMAX Specific Transceiver Atmel announced the first of its MAX-Link series of transceivers designed specifically for WiMAX applications. The AT86RF535A is a single-chip radio operating at 3.5 GHz with multiple bandwidth options. Additional members of the MAX-Link family are being developed to cover other WiMAX frequency bands and will interface with multiple baseband vendors. These devices combine a low-noise amplifier, power amplifier driver, receive/transmit mixer, receive/transmit filters, voltage controlled oscillator, synthesizer, receive gain control, and transmit power control, all completely digitally governed. WiMAX is a standards-based technology based on IEEE 802.16. One of the primary applications of this technology is to enable the delivery of last-mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL. WiMAX will provide fixed, nomadic, portable and, eventually, mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight with a base station. In a typical cell radius of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX Forum Certified systems can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel for fixed and portable access applications. This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity. Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius of up to three kilometers. It is expected that WiMAX technology will be incorporated in notebook computers and PDAs by 2007, allowing for urban areas and cities to become "metro zones" for portable, outdoor broadband wireless access. The AT86RF535A is available now to select customers. Production volumes will be available early in the second quarter of 2006. Pricing is $18.00 in quantities of 10,000. Modules incorporating the AT86RF535A transceiver, baseband, and MAC are being added to the roadmap. Source: Atmel
NEC Develops Next-Gen UWB Wireless Transceiver Technology NEC today announced that it has succeeded in developing the world's first reliable signal creation and processing technology in the wireless 3- to 9-gigahertz wide bandwidth range, enabling high-speed wireless transmission of data from computers and digital home appliances. Features of the ultra wideband (UWB) transceiver technology:
To realize the wide spectrum of frequencies, NEC developed an oscillator that can generate signals in the 3-9 GHz range. In addition, an ultra-high-speed gain amplifier and band-pass filter have been added into the oscillator to change the gain in accordance with fast band hopping, achieving a flat characteristic output in the 3-9 GHz band. Low-supply voltage amp requires especially high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. This new development introduces a new amp that achieves high performance for both large amplitude and noise rejection simultaneously. To date, variation-compensation circuits have had a voltage-adjustment circuit to compensate for distortion in each individual circuit. This new development instead places one voltage-adjustment circuit on a chip and uses a bus to distribute compensation voltages, drastically reducing the amount of power needed for variation correction.

Fujitsu Ships LifeBook N6410 Notebook Based On Intel Core Duo Fujitsu Computer Systems announced the availability of the LifeBook N6410 notebook, a Media Center PC that combines Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with the Intel Core Duo mobile technology. Equipped with the new power-efficient dual-core Intel Core Duo processor, the LifeBook N6410 notebook, flagship of the Fujitsu consumer portfolio, features a 17" wide glossy Color-Enhanced Crystal View WXGA+ TFT LCD display. Graphics are delivered by the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics controller with 256MB HyperMemory. The model features up to 2 GB of dual-channel DDR2 667MHz memory. Storage features include Serial ATA support and dual hard drives with a maximum storage capacity of 320 GB. The LifeBook N6410 notebook's built-in stereo sound system includes an integrated subwoofer.  The novelty is equipped with built-in media ports, including a dedicated Memory Stick/SD/xD Picture card slot, and dedicated ExpressCard slot. With the addition of a media panel, located above the keyboard, playing digital media is just a button push away. An optional built-in TV tuner and remote control are also offered for the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system. The LifeBook N6410 notebook also features the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network connection. The LifeBook N6410 notebook, with pricing starting at $1,649 for a base configuration, is available through the Fujitsu direct sales force, website, channel partners and select retail outlets. Users can choose from a recommended configuration, or they can customize their system using the Fujitsu Configure To Order (CTO) program. Source: Fujitsu Computer Systems
Supermicro Releases Low Voltage Dual-Core Xeon Server Solution Supermicro announces the availability of its new low-voltage Intel Xeon processor based Server solutions. The X6DLP-4G2/ X6DLP-EG2 serverboards are multi-core enterprise platforms that support the new dual-core Intel Xeon processors LV, utilizing only a 31W processor power envelope enabling the system to run efficiently on minimal cooling and while generating low heat and low fan noise. The new dual-core Intel Xeon processor LV, codenamed "Sossaman," is designed on Intel's 65-nanometer technology manufacturing process.
