Basically, Intel and AMD are considered to be the prime rivals, but recent news show that a Japanese brand has not only broken the previous Intel record of world’s fastest clocked CPU, but has reduced it to nothing.

The company that has accomplished this success is called Fujitsu. It is maker of various electronics as well as a developer of microprocessors.

It is an eight core SPARC64 VIIIfx Venus CPU that has been clocked at a marvelous speed of 128 billion computations per second. This speed has abolished the previously existing record of Intel by a factor of 2.5. This awesomely speedy processor belongs to the tiny family, and this is another reason that gives a feel of competition to the rivals.

Not only is it smaller, but its energy efficiency is much more than the forerunners. It is based on 45nm circuitry that explains a lot about how it broke the Intel record, as Intel’s record holder (dual core Itanium 2) was based on 90nm circuitry.

To maintain the balance between this rivalry, Intel has also shown interest n utilizing 45nm chip for their subsequent Itanium. The record holder Venus chip uses only 33% of what Itanium 2 uses that amounts to about 35W. Fujitsu has not given any time frame in which this super computing chip will be available, neither is it known that which brand will be encasing Venus.

Emerging technologies are always exciting and the same is true about OLED, but the problem with OLED flat-panel technology is that the screen sizes are still too small.

But now there is good news, as Samsung has announced that it will debut its 50-inch TV with OLED tech next year at Consumer Electronics Show that will be held in January.

This TV will be big in picture size, but it is being told that in build it is waif-like with lean and skinny OLED technology.

Samsung looks quite dedicated to LCD tech, however, it’s timidly keeping its foot in next-gen waters.

“Samsung can make larger OLED displays and this will be demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show in January when the company brings a bigger OLED TV,” says HS Kim, Samsung Vice President.

“I am quite certain that if we market it now with the price 10 times higher than the current LCD TVs, none would come to buy it especially in these conditions,” he added.

It’s a time when things are quite slow and we can’t expect a big gain for any such product, but still they need to hope for the best.

The PC maker is feeling somewhat superior after it’s over £100m profit for Q3 financial results.

During the last three months, Acer has sold more than two million nebooks worldwide and its Aspire is the best seller among the range. The company is looking forward to grow further.

These nice results have prompted the company to predict that it will sell 50% more netbooks next year that would make the sale of around 15 million units.

Acer President, JT Wang says that the company’s netbook shipments are likely to increase by up to 35 percent to meet the demand.

So, we have to wait and see how far Acer succeed to achieve its target, chances are bright or not, only time will tell, but ‘change’ has come: for good or for bad? Again time will tell.
