APU Trinity AMD to debut in early 2012

The debut of the next generation of APUs AMD for desktop and laptop mid-range, known by the code name of Trinity, should take place during the first months of next year. According to earlier by Thomas Seifert, Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. and up to a few weeks ago as interim CEO, the debut of the solutions that will take the place of AMD's APU Series A will already be at the beginning of 2012 and mid-year.

Seifert has anticipated this information during the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference held in Las Vegas in recent days, as reported by the site Bright Side of News. This information can place the public launch of Trinity solutions at the CES 2012 event, which will open during the first half of January.

Trinity Solutions will resume the basic architecture of the Llano APU as complement component 4-core CPUs up to a maximum near a GPU compatible with DirectX 11. The differences are considerable in any case: the proposals will be fact-based Trinity family Bulldozer core, the same basic architecture that AMD will propose solutions to the FX family expected to debut in the fourth quarter of 2011. Specifically, they are solutions Pile driver, common to the family of flagship desktop CPU expectations for 2012 that will take the place of FX Solutions.

Substantial changes are also expected for the integrated video subsystem: find it, sand on available information, design architecture adopted by quoting what VLIW4 AMD Radeon HD 6900 solutions for the desktop segment, the technical choices we will be followed for much of the future range Radeon HD 7000 expected to debut in late 2011.

It will not change the production technology: Trinity solutions will be built with 32 nm manufacturing technology as a partner using GLOBALFOUNDRIES. With regard to the latter Seifert showed that the overall yields are not yet at the level hoped for. This also explains why AMD has pushed to sign a contract to supply at prices not tied to the number of wafers to the products actually produced working day, with a more favorable context for AMD's yields are still far from ideal that technology to production 32 nanometers.

The difficulties of manufacturing 32-nanometer technology GLOBALFOUNDRIES however, seem to be more related to the production of APU Llano than to those of the CPU architecture-based solutions Bulldozer, belonging to the FX family. We will see, however, only in the next few weeks, how, and with such volumes, the new proposals for AMD's flagship desktop systems will debut on the market, as well as with overall performance levels.

Microsoft takes 30% from Metro Windows App?

Last week he made his official debut Windows 8: at the press conference for developers, in fact, Microsoft has shown the developer preview of the future operating system. Among the many new interfaces is particularly striking Metro: Colour enhance for use with touch screen devices, integrate applications that provide important experience to use. However, applications will be developed for this interface in order to work properly.
With the introduction of the interface Metro, then, Microsoft also opens the way to a market of app. What we've seen with Apple and its App Store, then, could and should arrive in key Microsoft: it is a winning strategy and the data prove it, then here is the colossus of Redmond tries to follow the trail.

But how to encourage developers to create new applications that are compatible with the interface Metro? We are busy, last week with this news, to analyze changes made to the development platform: only emerged in recent days rumors about the method of remuneration that Microsoft deemed to be made. Despite lacking official confirmation from the company, in fact, there are many who suggest that the Redmond Company will apply the same strategy used by Apple: the 70% of the proceeds will go to the developer, while 30% will remain the company.

Prior to joining Microsoft on the store each application must pass the control process Microsoft anti-malware. How much and how Microsoft's strategy will reward the company? The outcome will, of course, offer direct result of the implementation and that will be provided to the end user. To find out, so we just have to wait.

IBM's next showing an integrated circuit in graphene

Researchers from IBM will present early results of a project that focuses on the manufacture of an RF circuit in graphene, namely a 2GHz frequency doublers, using a CMOS-compatible production process. The presentation will be held at the International Electron Device Meeting to be held in Washington DC next 5 to 7 December.

Graphene, a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is characterized by many properties that make it a suitable candidate to research in the world of electronics and semiconductors, for example with respect to silicon, the main element used today to the production of processors, graphene has a 40 times higher electron mobility.

The interesting physical properties of graphene, however, clash with a number of problems when carbon is introduced in a traditional factory production of "wafers" for the semiconductor industry. IBM has been conducting a project to arrive, ultimately, to a CMOS-compatible manufacturing technology of wafers to 200mm in diameter, that will pave the way for the development of graphene-based integrated circuitry.

The main obstacle in the production of wafers with graphene is the difficulty to place a layer of dielectric on the surface of graphene, in order to isolate the gate: IBM has developed a process in which the structures are first defined on silicon gate and then transfer the graphene layers using chemical vapor deposition on silicon. After defining the areas in graphene, IBM has been able to connect the well and contacts the source to complete the FET structure.

According to information released by the organizers of the IDEM, this processor IBM has released a frequency doublers which integrates RF FET and passive components, with a conversion gain of-25dB and a frequency of 2GHz output.

Nintendo Wii U: Cry tech satisfied with our testing SDK (U Wii)

"The specifications are really good," said Avni Yerli, managing director and co-founder of Cry tech, in an interview with Games Industry, while speaking of U Wii. "The new console from Nintendo is a challenge for developers, but the important thing is that everyone has the opportunity to create valuable content. Our young people in Nottingham are satisfied they are doing tests on the software development kit."

Cry tech's position contradicts some noise from other developers; have complained that instead of the supposed instability of the first Nintendo Wii SDK U. According to these rumors, the Wii chipset U would not have the computing power needed to simultaneously manage the central system and the secondary controller and the controller would need to remain connected to the console in order to avoid latency problems. More details here.

Yerli, Cevat brother of the famous director of Cry tech, said the industry should be more accessible for less experienced players. Cry tech is not afraid to invest in the field of casual games and is proving Ryes, the project for Kinect who is pursuing today.

"If you're open-minded, it becomes easy to see how it is changing the world of gaming and how games are becoming more diverse today, with different targets that are interested in the average video game," said Yerli. "If you look at social networking, women now constitute 50% of the gaming audience and maybe even more. If the next generation of consoles will support things like that, I think we can attract a new group of audience."

"What do you mean playing Triple A? Hardcore might want to say, as the shooter on consoles, but as we might call Triple A? In my opinion, a Triple A when the game is attracting a large number of people. Mine craft So Triple A because it is a game there are many players who play it, "said Carl Jones, Director of Global Business Development at Cry tech, in the same interview.

One of the studio Cry tech, the one in Budapest, is working on the industry moving, but the German developer does not intend to even reveal the nature of the project. "It is based on Cry Engine," simply says Jones. "People are very curious about what we are doing with our technology and what others are doing the study that have acquired license. We'll show you what it can do even on small devices and across platforms, hoping that people appreciate our work. "

According to previous rumor, Cry tech is already working well on the next generation of Xbox . "I think it will be more powerful, but not necessarily ... well I can not say more," he says nervously co-founder of Cry tech. "We have clear ideas about what to expect from the next generation. One thing that certainly will be better cared for will cover the business models related to the free-to-play. We need shorter development timelines. It's a small thing but will help Member developers. "

There is also talk of games that can be accessed from different devices. "Immersive experience could be that allows you to play on consoles and then move on your smartphone. I believe that the next World of Warcraft may have some features of the genre," notes Jones.

It closes with an argument on cloud gaming . "In terms of revenue I do not think that cloud gaming can produce positive results in the short term," says Jones. "We are confident that players expect such a thing? What they need to play without a reference platform? I'm not so sure."
