Intel has launched an effort called LessWatts.org on Thursday, a combination of open-source software and helpful hints to reduce power consumption of Linux servers, PCs and gadgets.
The lack of applications that can run on Itanium makes gauging the performance of software on the 64bit platform problematic. However, hardware-focused tests are possible.
Citrix has joined the growing ranks of companies exploring the use of controversial Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology to enhance security options in its software.
Novell shone the spotlight on its new version flagship Linux product this week, touting a significant new feature to let a server run multiple operating systems simultaneously and thereby be used more efficiently.
VMware, an EMC subsidiary whose software lets multiple operating systems run on the same computer, is expected to announce next week it will begin giving away one of its key products for free.
Last week I had the chance to hear HP give their world view on why you should join them and Intel on Itanium for your next generation of servers.
So Apple has launched Boot Camp, which is a piece of software that allows its customers to choose between Windows XP and OS X when booting up. But if you have OS X, why would you downgrade?
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
If the world's largest chip manufacturer wanted to impress the world, what would it do? Our inside photo gallery from the Intel developer conference in Shanghai reveals the world's smallest motherboard, fondling robots, fuel cells, medical technology and Intel finally unleashing the power of the Atom.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
Today's notebooks come with a vast range of processors, but will they give you the best performance? Our comprehensive review benchmarks 19 of the latest mobile processors, giving you an insight into the best chips on the market.
The Dell Latitude D630 can't go wrong with corporate users, because it integrates Intel's latest mobile platform with a business-friendly feature set and lengthy extended battery.
IDC analyst Mujin Kang gives us his take on the Intel vPro platform, while Optima's Cameron Harding demonstrates what a vPro machine can do.
The 14.1-inch R61 includes all the important parts of Intel's revamped Centrino platform, including the new Core 2 Duo, extra onboard Turbo Memory, and 802.11n.
Intel's latest mobile platform, now officially christened Centrino Duo, introduces the Core Duo (Yonah) chip with dual CPU cores. This and other developments should deliver useful -- if not revolutionary -- increases in notebook performance and battery life.
The latest bundle of mobile technologies from Intel arrives late and somewhat piecemeal, but delivers a useful set of incremental enhancements.
The lack of applications that can run on Itanium makes gauging the performance of software on the 64bit platform problematic. However, hardware-focused tests are possible.
Short of setting up duplicate systems, testing new software can be a hairy exercise. Here's another way: use virtual OSes like VMWare and Virtual PC as your testing platform.
