Chip Shot: Energy Efficient Servers - Intel's ACE in the Hole

To further cut costs associated with cooling the datacenter, Intel today revealed findings from a multi-company study funded by the California Energy Commission. The result is ACE Technology - an intelligent cooling management approach that, for the first time, enables datacenter managers to use existing technology in servers to more precisely control the cooling infrastructure. This innovation to the platform is expected to yield significant efficiencies in data center energy consumption. Even the EPA recognizes the value of the ACE concept and now requires their Energy Star servers to have the temperature and communication components needed for this approach.

Chip Shot: Intel Discusses Next Generation Handheld Platform at Hot Chips

Today, at the Hot Chips technical conference, Intel architect Rajesh Patel presented a technical overview of Intel's next generation handheld platform, codenamed Moorestown, and targeted at the MID and smartphone market segments. Specifically, Patel discussed some of the unique innovations in Lincroft around high performance and low power. Lincroft is a SoC in Moorestown that integrates a 45nm Intel Atom processor core, graphics and video engines, as well as memory and display controllers. View the backgrounder for more information.

Chip Shot: WiMAX Brings City-Wide Wireless Internet to NMU Students

Northern Michigan University students in Marquette, MI. will begin receiving 3,000 laptops with WiMAX cards starting Aug. 20. The students, two-thirds of whom live off campus, will have wireless access anywhere in Marquette without additional cost. The school is one of the first universities in the world with a WiMAX network, which delivers cable and DSL-like speed via a wireless network that can cover entire cities and neighborhoods. As a key contributor to the deployment, Intel was on campus for today's public demonstration of the network.

Chip Shot: Research - How Digital Music Can Fight Climate Change

Intel, Microsoft and Dr. Jonathan Koomey (Lawrence Labs, Stanford University) contend that while tech use grows, technology can make a positive impact on energy consumption. Three research papers were released today - of note is one on mobile devices that will become more power-efficient and ubiquitous, and a paper on music consumption concludes that downloading music yields 40-80% reductions in energy and CO2 compared to buying a CD. More info on this eco-technology press kit and on this CSR@Intel blog post.

Chip Shot: Intel and Schooner Win Best of Show at Flash Memory Summit

Intel and Schooner Information Technology won a Best of Show Award this week at Flash Memory Summit for the Most Innovative Flash Memory Enterprise Application. Built on an Intel® Nehalem-based IBM System x server technology and featuring the Intel® X-25 E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drives (SSDs), Schooner’s integrated data access appliances outperform traditional solutions by up to 800 percent, while reducing costs by more than 60%.

Chip Shot: Intel Labs Helps Advance Fashion Industry With Virtual Worlds

Intel Labs have entered into a new research collaboration with the Fashion Research Institute (FRI) to drive innovations that will make it easier for businesses and consumers to make use of virtual worlds. Through this collaboration FRI is providing visually compelling, highly detailed content to aid in Intel’s 3D Internet research and allow the company to learn what will be required in future computers and the next generation of internet software. Virtual worlds could reduce waste significantly in fashion design by eliminating the cost and materials needed to create and re-create prototypes until they are correct. They also allow the designer and manufacturer to review designs together in a virtual space over great distances. Read more here.

Chip Shot: Intel, Micron Advance 3-Bit-Per-Cell NAND Flash

Intel and Micron have developed new 3-bit-per-cell (3bpc) multi-level cell (MLC) NAND technology, leveraging their 34-nanometer (nm) manufacturing NAND process. The chips, which Micron is sampling now, are typically used in consumer storage devices such as flash cards and USB drives, where high density and cost-efficiency are paramount. This new 3bpc NAND technology produces the industry’s smallest and most cost-effective 32-gigabit (Gb) chip that is currently available on the market.
