Intel Demos Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Quad-Core At IDF 102

Posted by Zonk from the kind-of-a-morbid-name dept.
MojoKid writes "Intel demonstrated a dual socket gaming rig at IDF this week, based on their Skulltrail platform with the X38 chipset. The interesting thing about this machine wasn't just that it had 45nm quad-core CPUs in its sockets, as well as PCI Express 2.0 capable slots, but also that it was running a pair of NVIDIA graphics cards in SLI. That's right, SLI on an Intel chipset. No word whether or not X38 would officially be supported with SLI just yet. In fact, NVIDIA representatives noted Intel was buying NVIDIA nForce 100 SLI Southbridges just for this one Intel motherboard model."

Feed Physicists Devise Viable Design For Spin-Based Electronics (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed
Physicists have proposed a design for a semiconductor computer circuit based on the spin of electrons. They say the device would be more scalable and have greater computational capacity than conventional silicon circuits. The "spintronic"--or spin-based electronic--device would extend the scope of conventional electronics by encoding information with the magnetic--or spin--state of electrons, in addition to the charge of the electrons. The researchers used a novel geometry to overcome the weakness of the magnetic signal, the current limitation to developing spintronics in silicon semiconductors.
