The processor core i 5-670 e overclocked to 7.1 GHz recently set the new record superPI 1M, after executing support pi 1 mb in five seconds.

Japanese overclockers gyrock today was able to overcome this psychologically important barrier. The overclocked to 6.8 GHz processor phenom II X4 965 BE with the  dual-channel memory DDR 3-1813 (5-5- 5-15) executed 1MB super pi in 984 seconds.

The author of record asserts that he used a retail copy of processor phenom II X4 965 BE stepping C3.

Seagate company proved to be the first important hard disks producer, who proposed HDD model with SATA-600 interface. Tests showed, that the new interface does not addd any special speed to the HDD , passage to the use of SATA-600 in the larger degree was urgent for solid-state disk.

In any event, AMD south bridges will propose SATA-600 support already during March this year .Western digital company without excess noise published the description of WD1002FAEX black caviar with 1 Tb volume, characterized by  SATA-600 interface and 64 mb buffer.

The rotation speed in this HDD is equal to 7200 rp/min, and used magnetic plates with 500 Gb volume. Last property allows to release HDD  with 2 Tb volume, but this model with  SATA-600 interface is not proposed.

American Internet- stores have already assumed orders for WD1002FAEX for $114 - $119.

NVIDIA company expends many resources on the advance of its  CUDA platform, which implies the acceleration of calculations by  graphic chips. Partner agreements with the software developers consist on competitions among programmers . Special attention is paid to the possibilities of CUDA, supers-computer take this technology for armament. AMD Company in this sense is less active. NVIDIA Company,  also supports OpenCL and DirectCompute;.

AMD representatives  acknowledged in an interview that up to 2012 the company  actively moves graphic calculation accelerators (GPGPU) in the segment of mass server solutions. In 2012 AMD will already release processors with 16 cores, but a number of loads are better processed by the video card; therefore, AMD will try to harmoniously develop server products.

Working with video and speeches, pattern recognition and data analysis - here only several spheres of  GPGPU application. A number of loads will be as before processed rapidly by central processors. The servers in the nearest future will obtain a different structure, which is not rested exclusively on the possibility of central processors.

The need for separating a place for storage battery strongly complicates life to the contemporary designers, who want to release thin and light electronic devices. Overall dimensions, limitations of capacity and high batteries cost  hold in control development relative to the young industry segment  - here we deal with electromobiles and so-called hybrid automobiles, which combine internal combustion engine and electromotors.

British scientists, developed a material, capable of storing electric charge and in this case remain sufficiently durable . Composite material consists of carbon fibers and polymeric resin, during the charging and the discharging  chemical reactions does not occur, which reduce the charging time  . Reductions in the capacity throughout  time   is not also observed.

Volvo company is already interested in this material. The decrease in the mass of automobile by 15%, achieved by this replacement, will  increase the path of hybrid automobile on electro-traction.  For the development of this material, it was already spent 3.4 ml Euros, in further plans of inventors enters the improvement of material properties and the preparation at the beginning for its production on industrial scales.
