Dell’s hybrid Netbook-tablet is “coming soon,” according to a Dell promotional video. Will this give prospective iPad buyers pause? The Inspiron Duo, which debuted at Intel’s developer conference in September, converts in a novel way between a Windows 7 Netbook and Windows 7 tablet. To convert to a Netbook, for example, the user opens the [...]

The secret to building an inexpensive flexible computer display is not in the core components of the displays themselves. It’s in the material those components are mounted on. The fundamental elements of e-ink and OLED displays are small enough that they won’t break if laid down on flexible backing. The problem, according to Janglin Chen [...]

With China expected to officially take the supercomputer performance crown next month, I asked an expert about the state of supercomputing in the U.S. and whether China poses a long-term threat to the United States’ current preeminence in supercomputing. Nvidia announced yesterday that its chips are powering the “Tianhe-1A” Chinese supercomputer that achieved 2.507 petaflops, [...]

Intel has unveiled a prototype chip that packs 48 separate processing cores on to a chunk of silicon the size of a postage stamp. The Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC), as it is known, contains 1.3 billion transistors, the tiny on-off switches that underpin chip technology. Each processing core could, in theory, run a separate operating [...]

China has become one of a handful of nations to own one of the top five supercomputers in the world. Its Tianhe-1 computer, housed at the National Super Computer Center in Tianjin was ranked fifth on the biannual Top 500 supercomputer list. The machine packs more than 70,000 chips and can compute 563 trillion calculations [...]

Intel is facing a federal lawsuit that accuses it of using “illegal threats” to dominate microchip sales. The New York attorney general accuses Intel of using “bribery and coercion” to make computer manufacturers buy its chips instead of those from its rivals. Andrew Cuomo said the anti-competition federal lawsuit follows an investigation lasting almost two [...]
