Low Power Server CPUs: the energy saving choice?
7 people liked this
Keeping an eye on power when choosing the hardware and software components is thus much more than naively following the hype of “green IT”. It is simply the smart thing to do. We take another shot at understanding how choosing your server components wisely can give you a cost advantage. In this article, we focus on low power Xeons in a consolidated Hyper-V/Windows 2008 virtualization scenario. Do Low Power Xeons save energy and costs? We designed a new and improved methodology to find out.

Microsoft's KIN: A Eulogy
1 person liked this
After being on the market a short six weeks, Microsoft announced that it was scrapping the launch of KIN devices in European markets, and with it, further development of the platform stateside. While the premature death of the platform isn’t really a shock (the phones had glaring issues and ran an OS that clearly had no roadmap in a Windows Phone 7 dominated future), the KIN included a notable number of features Microsoft and its Danger team executed better than anyone else in the smartphone market today.
Even though they're devices you'll probably never encounter in person, as just under 10,000 were sold (as of this writing, there are 9,341 active KIN devices using the platform's Facebook application), they're a glimpse into the future of a relatively fresh mobile device paradigm. One where the cloud rules entirely, where devices are little more than gateways into all of that data already on the web. Google and Apple are slowly moving towards that vision, but Microsoft has nearly all the pieces ready today. If Microsoft wants to dominate the smartphone market with Windows Phone 7, rolling KIN's cloud centric functionality into the platform will be key to success.

OCZ Unveils 4GB DDR3-2133 Modules
5 people liked this
The amount and speed of the RAM in a system is always indicative of the user and the software. Small home users require nothing more than enough for the operating system, word processing, web browsing and email. CAD engineers, VM users, and video/ music/graphic editors may require density over speed, to cope with a potentially large workload, while overclocking fanatics like memory that goes fast. OCZ plans to cater to both overclocking and high memory users, with the announcement of high speed, 4GB memory modules.
