Fujitsu on Tuesday announced its latest lineup of Serial ATA hard drives for notebook computers, which feature perpendicular recording technology. Although the additions come in capacities far below Fujitsu's 300GB monster -- 80GB, 120GB and 160GB -- spindle speed has been bumped to 7200 RPM.

(InfoWorld) - Fujitsu offered visitors to the Ceatec exhibition in Chiba, Japan, a look at how entertainment PCs of the future could be with the display of two prototype computer designs. The Turn Table PC represents one possibility for a home entertainment PC that can switch between being used as a notebook computer or as a digital turntable, allowing aspiring DJs to scratch and spin digital media files. TheTurn Table PC design calls for a 20-inch LCD (liquid crystal display screen) that can be folded closed to use the turntable function. The turntable function would be controlled by a touch screen on the outside of the notebook's lid. The other design that Fujistu showed is the Ultra Mobile, a handheld-computer design that calls for a touchscreen and includes a built-in digital camera for taking photos, as well as a digital music player and support for wireless Internet access. Measuring the same size as a CD jewel case, the Ultra Mobile design uses a novel method to turn the system on and off: users rotate the front half of the machine -- including the screen -- 45 degrees, changing the computer's shape from square to a star. Fujitsu has no plans to manufacture either design, said an attendant manning the company's booth.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.

With notebook computer configurations now ranging from tiny ultra portables to hefty desktop PC replacements, it's clear that one size was never meant to fit all. After a few weeks of trying out the Fujitsu LifeBook P7010D, I was convinced it didn't fit me.

NEC&#160;is selling what it says is the fastest vector supercomputer in the world. The SX-9 is based on a new processor developed by the Tokyo company that boasts a performance of over 100G Flops (floating point operations per second). Up to 16 of the chips can be fitted into a single node and up to 512 nodes can be built together to create what would likely be one of the most powerful computers in the world -- a computer with a theoretical peak processing power of 839T Flops (teraflops).NEC hasn&#39;t benchmarked the machine yet but estimates it would achieve a Linpack score of around 700T Flops, said Hiroshi Takahara, senior director of NEC&#39;s HPC marketing division. That&#39;s more than double the current fastest supercomputer in the world, the&#160;IBM BlueGene/L machine&#160;at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.The new machine, launched Thursday, is much more powerful than NEC&#39;s SX-8R, which it succeeds. To get the same processing power in one SX-9 node would require 13 SX-8R nodes so the new computer takes up 3.9 times less floor space and uses 3.6 times less electricity for the same power.Vector supercomputers are typically used in scientific applications and where large amounts of data needs to be processed. NEC has had some success selling previous systems to meteorological agencies in several nations and to universities, automakers and aerospace laboratories.The SX-9 is aimed at the same type of customer and will be offered on lease with prices starting at &#165;2.98 million ($26,000) per month for the entry-level system. NEC aims to sell about 700 systems over the next three years and already has its first users. Meteo France and Osaka University are among the first customers, said Takahara.With the new supercomputer NEC will again be challenging large U.S. computer makers like IBM and Cray. Five years ago the NEC-built Earth Simulator was ranked the world&#39;s fastest supercomputer but that machine was surpassed by an IBM computer and has dropped to 20th position in the current Top 500 supercomputer ranking.The SX-9, should a large configuration model be built, will have a good chance of restoring NEC&#39;s name back into the top positions of the influential ranking.The Japanese government is pushing to get the country back on top of the supercomputer ranking. It has awarded contracts to NEC, Fujitsu, and Hitachi&#160;for the design and construction of a 10P Flops (petaflops) supercomputer that is expected to be the world&#39;s fastest when it is completed in 2012.The machine will be built in Kobe in western Japan and operated by public research institute Riken. It will be mixed architecture with NEC and Hitachi designing the vector side and Fujitsu the scalar side. A budget of about &#165;115 billion ($1 billion) has been earmarked for the project.

Breaking the speed barrier of traditional flash memory, Intel and Micron Thursday announced a new flash memory architecture that increases the data transfer rates in consumer electronics by cutting the bottlenecks affecting conventional NAND flash memory.IM Flash Technologies, a joint venture between Intel and Micron, has developed an 8Gb SLC (single-level cell) high-speed NAND chip which can reach read speeds up to 200MBps and write speeds of up to 100MBps, which could mean faster data transfer between devices like solid-state drives and video cards.&quot;With the popularity of digital video cameras and video-on-demand services, high speed NAND can enable a high-definition movie to be transferred five times faster than conventional NAND,&quot; said Kirstin Bordner, a spokeswoman for Micron.Conventional NAND flash memory from Micron and other players currently transfer data at read rates of 40MBps, with write rates of about 20MBps.The speed improvements resulted from changes made to the NAND architecture and improvements in the read-write circuitry, Bordner said.This chip&#39;s architecture achieves the speed defined in the ONFI (Open NAND Flash Interface) 2.0 specification, according to Micron. Micron was one of the founders of the ONFI Working Group in 2006, and other member companies include Hynix Semiconductor, Intel, Phison Electronics, Sony and STMicroelectronics.Micron is now sampling the high-speed NAND component, with mass production expected to commence in the second half of 2008, the company said.Products based on the ONFI 2.0 specification have been under development and were expected, said Joseph Unsworth, a principal analyst at Gartner.&quot;It wasn&#39;t anything that wasn&#39;t expected. We knew that it was coming out,&quot; Unsworth said.The technology could see an immediate future for use in video and high-end photography devices that require flash memory with quick transfer speeds and reliable data retention, Unsworth said. However, it will be priced at a premium and only multimedia enthusiasts looking for high-performance flash memory would be willing buyers, Unsworth said.As prices stabilize, it will reach mainstream devices like MP3 players and digital cameras, but that could be a long time away, he said.The new flash technology from Micron and Intel could also face competition from Samsung and Toshiba, the world&#39;s top flash vendors, who combined represent 60 percent of products supplied in the NAND flash market. The two companies last year signed an agreement to share specifications to develop faster and more robust NAND interfaces, Unsworth said.While both factions will ultimately deliver high-performance flash technology to consumers, they need to unite under one banner to ease the development of high-speed flash technology. The market is split in half, and it needs one standard voice to simplify the development of flash memory for manufacturers, Unsworth said.
