POSTER: computer news   ||    ANNOUNCEMENT OF SSD INTEL OPTANE DC P4800X	DATE:2017-03-21
On Sunday, March 19, Intel announced the first commercial hard drive on solid-state memory 3D XPoint - a server SSD Optane DC P4800X with a capacity of 375 GB.  Previously, Micron, which operates a plant in Utah, where the memory 3D XPoint, reported that monthly produced about 10 thousand plates with chips of this type of nonvolatile memory. Note, Micron is not yet in a hurry to announce the beginning of  commercial versions solid-state drives on 3D XPoint memory (in the Micron version this will be a line of SSD QuantX).  It is not difficult to imagine that the data of the microcircuit is still in short supply.  In the second quarter, Intel will add to the series  DC P4800X model capacity of 750 GB and 375-GB version in a 2.5-inch form factor U.2, and in the second half will begin to supply a 1.5-TB version in this series.  But all this in the future, but for now Intel customers can only buy a 375GB drive at $ 1520, which is "only" three times more expensive than a similar SSD in NAND memory. In 2015, when Intel announced the development of 3D XPoint memory, it set the bar so high, reporting on the qualitative characteristics of a new memory type .  Recall, SSD on 3D XPoint promised a 1000-fold advantage in performance in comparison with NAND, 1000-fold increase in resistance to wear and 10-time increase in the storage density of information compared to DRAM.  While these promises resulted in a 100-fold reduction in reading delays (with reservations), a 3-fold increase in resistance to wear, and a 4-fold increase in the recording density compared to DRAM (and a 3-fold increase in the cost of storing one bit of data ). The full characteristics of the 375-GB SSD Optane DC P4800X hit the network a month before the announcement.  They turned out to be real.  Linear speeds of the model reach 2.4 / 2.0 GB / s for reading / writing.  For random speed blocks in terms of IOPS can reach 550 thousand for reading and 500 thousand for recording.  The peculiarity of the work of Intel Optane drives is that they do not support redundant memory, as in the case of SSD on NAND.  However, part of the capacity in Optane drives is given for operations with ECC, firmware and metadata, which is similar in principle to working with SSD on NAND memory - in each case this increases the reliability of the drives. The first model SSD on the memory of 3D XPoint got a fantastically small delay when accessing the memory (less than 10 µs).  At the same time, the recording speed is stable high even at significant loads (graph above).  On the chart below, Intel proves that Optane drives are also optimized for small queues of commands (typical for server loads), and they look much more attractive than SSDs on NAND memory. On the model 375 GB SSD Optane DC P4800X, the company gives a 3-year warranty and a resource of 30 complete rewrites per day for this period.  In the future, the warranty will be extended to 5 years.  In addition, the drive uses a 20-nm 128-Gbit 3D XPoint chip.  The controller in the SSD Optane DC P4800X 375 GB supports seven channels of memory access.  In the version of 375 GB for each channel, four memory chips are inserted (only 28 pieces).  According to Intel representative  , the maximum speed can be achieved in the configuration of one chip memory per channel.

POSTER: computer news   ||    ADIDAS OFFERS SWEATERS, TIED WITH AUTOMATIC MACHINES	DATE:2017-03-21
Modern technologies for the production of consumer goods are changing business models that have evolved over hundreds of years.  For example, the technology of three-dimensional printing allows in a short time to produce on an individual order not only accessories, but also sports shoes.  At least, Adidas said about this opportunity last year.  Now this brand, as explained by Reuters , has launched a service in Germany to produce wool sweaters for individual orders.  In just four hours, the client can choose the coloring, design, give his semi-naked body for taking measurements with a laser scanner, and get a washed and dried ready-made product that will definitely fit in size and taste. First, in a darkened room, a virtual fitting of colors and design elements takes place: the computer projects templates onto the upper part of the client's torso.  Then the person in the underwear turns into a special chamber, where the measuring complex with the help of the laser removes exact measurements.   Adidas using these technologies hopes to significantly reduce the time it takes to develop the design of garments and their subsequent release.  Usually it takes from one to one and a half years to prepare a collection of clothes for sale.  There is nothing surprising in the fact that by the time of appearance in the stores, some things have become morally obsolete.  In addition, some models in general find it difficult to find a buyer, and Adidas sells at a significant discount  at least 50% of the products range  .  By 2020, the company expects to produce half of its products at an accelerated pace, and sell at least 70% of the products for the full price. This indicator directly affects the profit rate  , and therefore it makes sense to spend money on the introduction of new technologies.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48069 Rating: 10.0/10 (4 votes cast) Adidas offers sweaters, tied with automatic machines	Add Comment ( 1 ) ADIDAS OFFERS SWEATERS, TIED WITH AUTOMATIC MACHINES

POSTER: computer news   ||   VOICE ASSISTANT SAMSUNG BIXBY A NEW WAY TO INTERACT WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE	DATE:2017-03-21
Yesterday Samsung unveiled its new voice assistant called Bixby.  It should debut in the new flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, the announcement of which is scheduled for March 29. Bixby is a new intelligent assistant for new Samsung devices.  It has three major advantages over voice assistants, which are now on the market.  In particular, Bixby support can be built into applications, after which the new assistant will be able to perform all tasks that perform through the normal interface of the program.  Also Bixby will react differently to user requests depending on the current actions and will be able to recognize various voice commands, including those made in free form. "Beginning with our new smartphones, Bixby will be gradually applied to all of our devices.In the future, you will be able to control your TV or air conditioning through Bixby.Bixby will also be implemented in the cloud.We are confident that as the Bixby ecosystem grows, it will evolve from the phone interface to Interface for your life, "- said in an official press release Samsung . To activate the Bixby assistant, there will be a special button on the side of the smartphone, when pressed, the assistant will offer two control methods to choose from: voice or touch.  Whether text commands will be supported is not yet known.  It is noted that at the start of many pre-installed applications Samsung Galaxy S8 will support Bixby.  And specifically for third-party developers Samsung will release a special SDK-kit to enable Bixby support in their applications Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48068 Rating: 10.0/10 (4 votes cast) Voice Assistant Samsung Bixby a new way to interact with your smartphone	Add Comment ( 1 ) VOICE ASSISTANT SAMSUNG BIXBY A NEW WAY TO INTERACT WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE

POSTER: computer news   ||    IN THE MOBILE SEGMENT AMD VEGA WILL PROVIDE LAYOUT ADVANTAGES	DATE:2017-03-21
If NVIDIA could not wait for the "moment of truth" and put its "main trump card of the season" on the table in the face of GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, AMD continues to warm up the public's interest in its own graphics solutions due to products with Vega architecture, which should be presented in The second quarter.  It is known that the flagship solution of the family will use memory type HBM2, located in the immediate vicinity of the graphics processor. Colleagues from the site EXPREview managed to communicate with AMD representative Scott Herkelman , who for his career managed to work in both BFG Technologies and NVIDIA.  Since there were no direct answers to really important questions about Vega colleagues, they limited themselves to trying to find out whether Vega would appear in the notebook segment.  Scott admitted that such graphics solutions are being prepared, and they will allow notebook manufacturers to get some layout advantages - it's probably a question of saving space on the PCB by integrating memory HBM2 type.  Let's add that the hybrid processors Raven Ridge, which will appear in the second half of the year, will also use the graphics system ega generation.
