Australian researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA) have developed a lower power, short range chip for wireless communications that can achieve up to 5Gbps -- allowing them to transfer a complete DVD in a matter of seconds.
The prototype of a short-range gigabit wireless chip, which promises more than 2Gbps throughput speeds and costs just AU$10, will be unveiled by the end of this year, according to researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA).
With the expected launch of its new UltraSparc T2 chip Sun will once again sell microprocessors, but this time round it has plans to expand beyond the server market.
Sun Microsystems has booted its Solaris operating system on a server with a prototype of its forthcoming Niagara II processor, one key milestone for the company's attempt to restore the relevance of its Sparc processor family.
Sun Microsystems' "Niagara 2" processor will be able to run 64 simultaneous instruction sequences, twice that of its predecessor, when it debuts in servers during the second half of 2007, a Sun engineer said on Tuesday.
Intel plans to announce a new network processor that will handle security functions, a move it expects will reduce the cost and improve the performance of networking equipment.
Although Wi-Fi has turned into one of the hottest young technologies, Vic Hayes says the real excitement will start after the computer industry hurdles the 100mbps speed barrier.
The prototype of a short-range gigabit wireless chip, which promises more than 2Gbps throughput speeds and costs just AU$10, will be unveiled by the end of this year, according to researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA).
The 3Com OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch 5 is a tiny unit that compares well to the competition on price and power consumption.
Is it possible that analog chips will displace the zeros and ones at the heart of the binary language used in computing for some 20 years?
Intel plans to lower the cost and increase the performance of optical networking technology, the company said Wednesday, part of the chipmaker's effort to make money off communications as well as computing technology.
