Gasperini sees improvements



Gian Piero Gasperini has noticed improvements in his Inter Milan during the game against Roma. The Inter coach admits it could do better, but explains the shortcomings of his team with a delay of condition: "I saw a good Inter, just see the scoring chances. We played against a great team conceding very little. Too bad have exploited the spaces - the coach says Piedmont -. Three nights ago we played a race-consuming, certainly is the improvement of the condition will be different. ““The first time there have been occasions with Nagatomo, spaces for us were great. The defensive ends in the goal had come on De Rossi. He did a lot Forlan, less Milito. “The transition between Forlan and Muntari has infuriated the public at the San Siro. Gasperini then explains his reasons: "I Muntari added because we need a midfielder. Sneijder was right but the Dutchman was struggling to return. From then on we had the best deals." "The goal does not arrive? In certain opportunities because you do not have an explanation quite clears opportunities. Let's get him as a happy moment, "he concludes, quite fatalistic.

The future of gaming on Apple iPad remain bright despite the doubts of Nintendo (iPhone)

The community of gamers Apple iPhone is great and is set to grow further. This is shown by a survey done by Interpret, which shows that 8 million of the 11.4 million U.S. users of iPad use the device primarily to play. It is a very wide community both in absolute terms and as percentage of total users of the iPad.

Interprets research seems almost a response to statements by Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president, published yesterday. "It is probably the correct decision in the sense that if we had started to publish games on smart phones would have realized profits. However, I believe that my primary responsibility is to pursue profits in the short term, but to prepare a competitive strategy for Nintendo in the long run "Iwata said, reiterating that Nintendo is currently intends to develop videogames for mobile devices such as iPad.


"Along with the success of the iPad, there is a slight decrease in the involvement of the community of gamers to the home consoles, mobile phones and handheld consoles," but insists Jason Preston, market analyst, Interpret. "This means that game developers and producers for iPad can definitely reach a new type of user."

iPad is attracting not just gamers, but also a new type of user that was previously not inclined to spend time on videogame products. People who use iPad to play are progressively more mature: if the last market analysis, Interpret, in fact, 40% of those who played on the iPad has between 35 and 65 years in the previous survey, this percentage was only 31%. In 2011, 48% of those who played with iPad are a woman, while in 2010 women constituted 40% of the total.

Solutions to 2.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm expectations for 2012

What will we see at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona? a question would seem a little 'out of place mail in mid-September (the Spanish exhibition held in February), but is known to all the chain that leads to the design of new devices and the advance with which the hardware platforms must be in the hands of producers. Qualcomm has unveiled its roadmap and, as reported by En gadget, has to put in the hands of manufacturers of smart phones, tablets and mobile solutions to its quad-core processors later this year.



Qualcomm's strategy is clear: on the one hand to the low performance of the medium up with solutions to 1GHz and HSDPA 3G connectivity, push the other side of the strong performance in the field super phone and tablet. In this type of devices will be devoted to the single-core platforms with support up to 1.4GHz HSPA +, 3D stereoscopic display 720p and 1024x768 pixels and dual core processors up to 1.5GHz with similar but expanded to support full HD video and display up to 1440x900 pixels, all based on 45nm manufacturing process.

The platform for the 'next generation devices' will be based instead on the production process 28Nm , solutions will be divided into a single / dual / quad core , will reach up to 2.5 GHz clock speed and, naturally enough will support LTE. It will definitely be an interesting challenge to the one with the new quad-core solutions at NVIDIA.

TGtech: New Intel Developer Forum 2011 and its plant BUILD 2011

That ends today has been quite a week full of news and TGtech we tried to summarize the main information relating to various areas of technology. It was concluded from the few hours '2011 Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco and it's time to draw some conclusions from this important event: with Paolo Corsini will get a brief analysis on future trends provided by Intel. In particular, the American producer has put the emphasis on the mobile industry and the importance of new technologies focused on energy saving, but there is great attention to the introduction of the new 22-nanometer manufacturing process promised by Intel for the first months of 2012.

From BUILD 2011, event for Microsoft developers, have come a lot of information about Windows 8 and the new possibilities for developers. All this tells us about Gabriel Burgazzi who oversaw part of the contents have already been published in recent days.

With Roberto Colombo will change to the point on the scenario of operating systems for mobile devices. HTC seems interested in Web OS, but also Meego could be an alternative, the producer seems to be looking for its own software platform in a market in which hardware manufacturers and software developers are increasingly coincide.

And we will also TGtech Mebrom , the malware that infects the BIOS and the removal of which seems to be very tricky. For the usual event dedicated to gaming Rosario Grasso speaks to us of the latest Nintendo 3DS and PS Life

Intel: Near-Threshold-Voltage CPU consumption lower and lower

We have already spoken briefly a couple of days ago : Intel's IDF in San Francisco on the stage, showed a location in which the processor, identified as Claremont, operated with only the energy provided by a tiny solar cell . During the closing keynote address Justin Rattner, Chief Technology Officer of Intel, wanted to say something more on the interesting project, and especially on the way that research is taking. If technological progress in the chips, has for years taken the path of multi core and many core, this does not mean that research is continuing to search for in the individual business units, new ways to improve.



Rattner demonstrated a processor so called Near-Threshold Voltage, which uses low-power circuits, new concept that can dramatically reduce consumption. To do so, these circuits operate near the threshold, or ignition voltage, the transistor. A CPU is an experiment, as we said two days ago, able to work at standard frequencies when needed, reducing power consumption to below 10 milli watts when the workload is light. This explains why a very small solar cell is sufficient to ensure the operation of the system: 10 milli watts are very few.


We will not see this very chip trade dress under the brand names of the classic Intel, more than anything else, research it online to the integration of circuits with a voltage close to the threshold in a wide range of future products. Direct consequence of consumption will be about 5 times lower than current technologies, as well as allowing you to make laptops can stay connected, standby, up to tens of days.




The plans for the future are very ambitious, as you can see in the slide. If today is an Intel Xeon 200W 100Gflops to achieve, in 2018 you think you can get the same results with a machine 2W. Reduce by one hundred times the consumption for the same computational result is not how to say it and 2018 is not that far away: we have to wait and see if the forecasts have been too optimistic.

Many Intel Core architecture, development continues

At the last day of its Intel Developer Forum 2011 has provided some information on their Core architecture Many, better known by the acronym MIC (Many Integrated Core) . We recall how one of the best known embodiments of this architecture has been Larrabee, Intel's project to develop a GPU declined after coprocessor can handle x86 code.

The MIC approach sees the use of architectures that integrate an internal high number of cores, initially all equal to each other and operated in parallel, connected by a high-bandwidth internal communications. Each core is small in size and able to operate with very low fuel consumption, while maintaining compatibility with x 86 codes on paper and then requiring the developer to adapt your code processing on the GPU as is the case with competitive offerings from NVIDIA and AMD.

The next generation of solutions Knights Corner will be developed using 22-nanometer production technology, the same that we will see the debut with opposite Ivy Bridge, integrating within itself more than 50 cores. Intel did not provide specific guidance on what will be greater than 50 the number of cores, but it is clear that the use of a more sophisticated production technology will incorporate a number of parallel cores Semra higher.

Intel has also specified as the future evolution of the architecture MIC pass through the core types of coaching different from each other, and not all the same. This approach will allow for a better use of computing power available to the chip as a whole, adapting the core depending on the type of code that will run these.

For many years, Intel's architecture promotes the MIC which way to speed up processing of the future, but until now this has not led to real products available on the market. The failure of the Larrabee strategy for the consumer segment partly explains the delay, that Intel intends to fill in the future thanks to next-generation solutions Knights Corner.

It 'also important to highlight this issue as the IDF has been very subdued for information related to the future architecture for server systems. In particular information on the expected CPU Xeon E5, proposals for systems up to 2 sockets designed to take the place of the Xeon 5600 models currently on the market. It 'possible that at this point the debut of these processors will not happen in the autumn as originally planned but will be moved to early 2012.

Asus Eee Pad Slider coming to the end of the month?

Asus Tablet continues to invest in the market: after presenting the solution Transformer, one of the proposals among those most impressed Android-based, should not miss much when a new solution. Asus Eee Pad Slider, which has already been discussed in the past, in fact, should arrive by the end of the month. To restore the site Lilliputian news is, at this address.

Unlike Asus Transformer Eee Pad Slider requires the presence of a physical keyboard: simply by running the surface of the solution will be able to access the input device. The video shows in detail the following solution:





Like Transformers, Slider also has a display of 10.1 "with resolution of 1280x800 pixels and is based on a platform NVIDIA Tegra 2 . The price for the proposal, of course not official, will be U.S. $ 479 for version to 16GB as it climbs to $ 579 for one to 32GB.

The approach is definitely interesting and Asus offers a product capable of responding to very specific usage scenarios: having a physical keyboard is an advantage in many cases, and slider seems to have the credentials to play an important role.
