While Intel is busy unveiling their Silverthorne range of Low power processors designed mainly for UMPC’s in the ISSCC , they are also taking care of the High end Mobile platform processors.Intel is now getting ready to launch the X9000 Core 2 Extreme Edition Mobile Processor by this February end.
The Intel Core 2 Extreme Edition Processor is designed on the 45 nm architecture while the current fastest Extreme processor is based on 65 nm architecture.Intel is promising a certain performance increase than the baseline processor.Intel has optimised performance with HD related media on this processor by using Intel® HD Boost technology.
The X9000 is having a 6 MB shared L2 Cache and is running its FSB at 800 MHz.

Guys , any one wants to dress up their phone everyday just like you change your dress.Well at least all those females will be dreaming about dressing their phones by now. Modu , a newcomer in the phone manufacturing world, founded up by Dov Moran, who first got the patent for USB Flash drives which are now an essential thing especially for business men and students.
Here’s the first true modular phone,Modu , which can switch its cover (known as jackets ) just like putting a coat over you.Plus the jackets can be specifically made enhancing the feature of the phone. For example , Lets say , a music enabled jacket which has music keys specifically or consider a gaming jacket which makes the Modu all set for gaming. How cool is that?!
Modu Phone without any jacket, shown below is a standard credit card

IBM has announced their all new 45nm architecture based Cell Processor ,which powers the PlayStation 3 .Currently the Cell processor is being manufactured on 65nm architecture and soon IBM will be shifting to the new 45 nm ones .
The 45nm architecture is surely going to save money for the user , both in terms of power intake and manufacturing cost.Indeed IBM is doing this for Sony the biggest customer for the Cell Processor , which was in fact mainly designed as a coprocessor for Super Computers.
The shrink will make the new chip’s die to be around 34% smaller than the 65 nm architecture and each chip will consume only 60% of the power now taken into those 65 nm processors.Sooner or later Sony will be reducing the price of PS3 because of this.So keep your hopes up.

Intel , Worlds largest commercial microprocessor manufacturer & now having a successful market sales by the help of their Penryn series will be unveiling their new , smallest and the lowest power consuming x86 based chip at the International Solid State Circuits Conference which will be held at San Francisco later this week.
The new Silverthorne based processor made in 45 nm architecture can crank up to 2Ghz clock speed with only 2 Watts of power,making it ideal for running UMPC’s with Windows Vista running on them.Its actual power consumption will be even smaller than that because of active power management.So it can work on power as low as 600 milliwatts.
The device in fact is much similar to the Pentium range.The 25 mm chip can go into a new power management state , C6 deep sleep state in less than 100 microseconds and can come alive from it in around the same time.Its having a 533 MHz FSB and an optional much more energy efficient CMOS mode.
Though the Silverthorne processor is one of the lowest power consuming Commercial processor chip, there are other Microprocessors which consume lower power than that and to Intel’s dismay they will be unveiled at the same venue.The other processors include a cellular chip from Texas Instruments which has a 840-MHz ARM11 to run applications, a 480-MHz TI C55x DSP core to handle 2G and 3G baseband communications, and a 240-MHz image processor.and it just consumes 500mW at peak operation and normally operates between 100 and 250mW.
