Nvidia graphics card manufacturers are planning to make processors for computers. This means there will be a new rival for Intel and AMD.
Nvidia is already quite mature in the graphics card industry. In addition, chip makers based in the United States has also already started producing processors for mobile phones. For example, Tegra 2, which has begun to be adopted by LG Optimus 2X.
Not quite satisfied with the business she lived, Nvidia is now planning to make processors for computers. That said, these processors will use the ARM architecture which is now compatible with Windows.

Shortly before Christmas arrives, AMD officially launched its newest graphics card that claimed the fastest. Radeon HD 6900 series comes in two variants with a high specification but still friendly bags.
Both variants are, Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950 what kind of specification that carried both the new champion is AMD?
As the top version, the Radeon HD 6970 comes with a single-GPU families that are still in the Northern Islands with the processor clocked at 880MHz. This graphics card also uses a memory-speed DDR5 2GB 1375MHz (5500MHz effective). This product plan would be pegged to the price range of USD 370-380.
Radeon HD 6950, you could say this graphics card has a specification slightly below the HD 6970. This product has a core clock of 800MHz, 1250MHz memory clock (5000MHz effective) with a capacity of 2GB DDR5. This product range will be released at a price of USD 300. Read the rest of this entry »
Company Texas Instruments (TI) has developed the ARM processor-based dual-core processors capable of running at 1.5 GHz capability. This means that the processor is the fastest in its class.
OMAP4440 chip has two MPCores Cortex-A9, which has technology that can improve graphics performance 1.25x, decreased 30 percent when the web page load time and 2-fold increase in performance while playing a 1080p video.
This processor also offers support for 3D stereoscopic images, video conferencing 1080p. But the advantages are, in this processor is able to open up content faster without consuming much energy.
Well, Texas Instruments OMAP4440 said the number of samples will be shipped in the first half of 2011, with full production starting in the second half of this year.
So, there is a possibility that the first device loaded with the chip, dual-core 1.5GHz can be expected to attend the market in early 2012, or if we’re really lucky, in late 2011.

Processor manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduced three new processors. Two processors for Phenom II, and one for the Athlon II.
All three CPUs are still working with socket AM3 and AM2 +, so it does not require a new mainboard for upgrading.
Of the three new processors, two of which came from the series Black Edition with unlocked multiplier. The first is the Phenom Black Edition II X6 1100T, which runs at 3.3 GHz with six of its core. This product will replace the six-core processors AMD Phenom II X6 1090T. This processor is worth USD 265, or about Rp 2.3 million.
The second processor is the Phenom X2 II 565 Black Edition, with dual-core processor that runs at 3.4 GHz clock, and has 6 MB L3 cache memory. These processors will replace Phenom II X2 Black Edition 555 running at a clock running 3.2 Ghz. This processor price of USD 112 or approximately USD 1 million.
The latter is the AMD Athlon II X3 455, triple-core processor with 3.3 GHz clock, which is not included Black Edition processors. Items sold for USD 87 or approximately USD 700 thousand is going to replace the Athlon II X3 450.
One ruler processor smart phones, Qualcomm, announced that the latest generation of Snapdragon chips now is in final stages and will be cast next year.
Qualcomm said that current strength Snapdragon processor will be used for a large number of smartphones, both based on Android, including Droid Motorola, HTC Evo 4G, HTC and Google’s Desire HD Nexus One, or some Sony Ericsson devices, Palm’s smartphone, RIM devices, and even some also use the Windows Phone 7 Snapdragon in it.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset they claimed that the future will be dubbed the MSM8960. This processor will work up to five times better than the first Snapdragon chip them, especially because the new processor has the ability to dual-core 1.2GHz. The chip will use 28-nanometer process new to mobile devices.
San Diego-based manufacturer also announced that their future chipsets will use about 75 percent less power than current Snapdragon processor.
