Motorola is preparing for the release of several new smartphones, including Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus .  They were recently certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).   Moto E4 has a 5-inch display with a modest resolution of 854x480 pixels, 16 GB of internal memory and two cameras: 5-megapixel main and 2-megapixel frontal.  It is based on a single-chip system MediaTek 6737m, which consists of a four-core processor and graphics accelerator Mali-T720MP.  The smartphone running the mobile operating system Android 7.0 Nougat.  Both Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus are equipped with a front camera with LED flash.  The advantages of Moto E4 Plus include a display with narrower frames than the simple Moto E, along the edges and a fingerprint scanner built into the Home button.

If for Ryzen it is considered an achievement to oveclock to 5.8 GHz using liquid nitrogen, then the "good old" AMD FX in these conditions often overcame the 8.0 GHz bar.  An example is the fresh record of the French enthusiast tyger81 , which the FX-8300 processor overclocked to 8060 MHz. Of course, only two cores remained active, but the frequency record was updated in the model standings.  No other AMD FX-8300 processor has been overclocked to this frequency before.  However, if we consider the overall rating, this result corresponds only to the 69th place.

POSTER: computer news   ||    TWO-PORT INTERFACE NVME WILL RAISE THE POPULARITY OF SSD	DATE:2017-04-15
Since last year, manufacturers of solid-state drives have begun to release SSD with a dual-port interface NVMe.  It is expected that drives with the appropriate ports and support for the same protocol in the future will replace the two-port SAS interfaces.  In 2016, according to individual analysts, among all corporate SSDs, NVMe-enabled drives held a 16% share.  It is predicted that by 2020, those will capture at least 60% of the server-based SSD market. Two-port SSD NVMe allows you to organize high-speed local and network storage arrays.  Each of the two NVMe ports on each drive can be connected to two different controllers, providing minimum latency and maximum data transfer speed.  With local access to arrays, everything is simpler, but when working with networked flash arrays, there is a possibility that the bandwidth of the channels will be missed.   The issue of eliminating the bottleneck in case of network connection of SSD-arrays is occupied by the young Israeli company E8 Storage.  According to the developer, the company has developed a flexibly scalable architecture based on two-port NVMe interfaces with access to Ethernet network ports from 40GE to 100GE.  It is claimed that the E8 Storage storage network stores provide SAN arrays with similar latencies and speeds, as well as in the case of direct SSD connection to computer systems.  This is guaranteed to raise interest in SSD-drives and will make the penetration of NVMe interfaces deeper and wider. The serial production of E8 Storage includes HGST Ultrastar SN200 PCIe.  It is interesting that the company confirmed the work on creating a shelf system with Intel drives on 3D XPoint memory, but details refused to be announced.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48380 Rating: 10.0/10 (6 votes cast) Two-port interface NVMe will raise the popularity of SSD	Add Comment ( 1 ) TWO-PORT INTERFACE NVME WILL RAISE THE POPULARITY OF SSD

POSTER: computer news   ||    TSMC LOWERED THE FORECAST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTRACT CHIP MARKET IN 2017	DATE:2017-04-15
On Friday,  meeting with shareholders, the leadership of the Taiwanese company TSMC, which for many years remains the leader in contract manufacturing, voiced a number of interesting data about itself and the world market of semiconductors.  According to the company, all the plans are being implemented, which will ensure the growth of TSMC revenue this year by 5-10%.  At the same time, TSMC notes that the world market of contract semiconductors this year will not develop as well as previously predicted.  In particular, TSMC lowered the growth forecast for the contract production market in 2017 from 7% to 5%.  This means that TSMC plans to ensure its development dynamics are not worse than global trends and even better. Reduce the company's forecast was after studying the order chain of suppliers.  More precisely, having studied the state of warehouse stocks of customers.  Particularly brought customers of components for smartphones and personal computers.  It turned out that purchases are being conducted reluctantly.  Only the minimum required is bought.  Already in the second quarter, this practice will lead to the fact that TSMC predicts that the cost of the contract chip market will gradually decrease by 8-9% per quarter.  Accordingly, the revenue of companies will drop. At the same time, the world market of semiconductors (including the market of contract chips) will behave with the opposite dynamics - it will grow by 7% per year.  This will happen, as we noted earlier, due to the growth in selling prices for computer memory, which was in short supply.  Without taking into account the memory market, the world semiconductor market would grow only by 4%. Traditionally, at the shareholders' meeting, the management of TSMC recalled plans for the development and implementation of new technical processes.  Thus, the expansion of the volume of production of 10-nm solutions is planned to "grow very fast" in the second half of the year.  At the end of the year, 10-nm production should bring the company about 10% of revenue. The risky production of chips based on the first generation 7-nm process technology will begin in the second half of this year.  In the development of solutions using a 7-nm process technology, 30 customers of the company joined, which will prepare 15 digital projects (chips) during the year.  The mass production of 7-nm solutions will start in early 2018, and a year later the company will implement the 7+ or 7-nm process technology on the company's lines.  Interestingly, more than half of the 7-nm projects relate to server solutions.  The company expects the main revenue growth from the release of 7-nm chips in 2020. EUV-radiation scanners are partly used by the company for the release of chips with the 7+ process technology and completely for the release of the first generation of 5-nm solutions.  Chips with the norms of 5-nm will massively be produced in 2020. Also, the company's customers were interested in 12-nm process technology.  It is suitable for the production of solutions for mobile electronics of primary and secondary levels.  The possibilities of the 12-nm process technology were of interest to more than 10 clients of the company, some of which prepare 7 projects for these technological standards.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48379 Rating: 10.0/10 (7 votes cast) TSMC lowered the forecast for the development of the contract chip market in 2017	Add Comment ( 1 ) TSMC LOWERED THE FORECAST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTRACT CHIP MARKET IN 2017
