Panasonic to Announce CULV-Based 10.4-Inch Laptop

The ongoing craze around Intel's latest CULV platform for ultra-light, portable computer systems appears to have reached consumer electronics maker Panasonic, which has decided to roll out its latest portable computer system, interestingly dubbed Let's Note Light R8. Powered by a low-power Intel processor and coming with a fast Solid State Drive (SSD) storage solution, this new ultraportable PC comes to provide users with an alternative to some of the already unveiled CULV-based laptops, such as MSI's X-Slim series and Acer's Timeline family. According to the available specifications of Panasonic's new “Let's Note Light” laptop, users will be able to take advantage of the performance delivered by the system's integrated Core 2 Solo SU3500, which has been set to run at a low-power frequency of 1.4GHz. In addition, the system has been equipped with 2GB of RAM memory and a 64GB SSD that promises read speeds of 220MB/s. For a plus of performance, the memory can be increased to a total of 4GB, thanks to the support enabled by Intel's low-power chipset. Unlike most of the other CULV-based laptops, this latest release from Panasonic doesn't appear to boast a really slim-line design. On the other hand, unlike other CULV laptops, the Panasonic Let's Note Light features a smaller 10.4-inch form factor, which could place it as a competitor for other 10-inch, Atom-powered netbooks. Additional features that will be available for those looking for a Panasonic laptop include the usual array of connectivity options, such as Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi. Despite the smaller form factor, the system is said to be featured with a battery that can provide up to 9 hours of runtime on a single charge. Unfortunately, there's no word on when it will be released worldwide, but the company plans to introduce it on June 24th in Japan, with a starting price tag of US$1750.

Globalfoundries Is on Track for 28nm by 2011

According to recent reports, Globalfoundries is on track to ramp up production of the 28nm manufacturing process by 2011. In addition, Tom Sonderman, Globalfoundries vice president of manufacturing systems and technology, has confirmed that the company is ready to break ground for this new facility (Fab 2) at the Luther Forest Technology Campus in New York, as early as July. The VP has also announced that the yields for 45nm technology have matured and that the company is now heading towards the next-generation 28nm. The recently founded Globalfoundries is already seen as a potential competitor for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), just a few months since its debut on the market. One of the main reasons for this comparison is that the Globalfoundries is currently planning to ramp up production of the next-generation 32nm and 28nm manufacturing technologies, consequently providing support for AMD's next-generation processors. In a recent news-article on Digitimes, Tom Sonderman has said that the company is currently planning to ramp 28nm at Fab 2, as it has already seen mature 45nm yields. It is also planning to migrate all production of 40/45nm to Fab 1 by the end of this year, consequently paving the way for sub 28nm production. According to Sonderman, Globalfoundries is aiming to advance its process technology to sub-45nm class ahead of the world's leading chip maker, Intel. In an additional note, AMD has just announced that is has successfully ramped up production of its new graphics chips, using TSMC's 40nm node, meaning that the company is on schedule to deliver the new cards before the end of this year. These new GPUs are said to provide users with support for Microsoft's next-generation DirectX 11 API, which AMD has recently demonstrated during a presentation at Computex in Taiwan.

Intel's Lynnfield Is 5GHz-Capable

According to recent reports, citing sources at the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer, the upcoming Lynnfied processors from Intel will provide an excellent overclocking platform. These CPUs will reportedly be able to hit clock speeds of 5GHz, using air cooling solutions. Although the rumors are yet to be officially confirmed by the Santa Clara, California-based chip maker, the prospect of a 5GHz-capable CPU might just appeal to some computer enthusiasts, which could upgrade to Intel's next-generation processors due to this unique feature. In a recent news-article, Tim Smalley from bit-tech cites sources near the motherboard maker in Taiwan, saying that Intel's next-generation mainstream processors, codenamed Lynnfield, will be capable of reaching impressive speeds with the help of their integrated Turbo mode. According to an Intel spokesperson, this feature alone will enable the company's upcoming processors to provide users with more than 500MHz of speed boost over the CPU's standard clock frequency. Different reports indicate that Intel's Lynnfield CPUs could easily provide up to 600MHz increase in performance over the factory-set clock speeds. This would enable the much rumored high-end 3.2GHz Lynnfield processor to hit speeds of approximately 3.8GHz, which should deliver some performance increments using an air-cooling solution. Despite no official word from Intel regarding the overclocking capabilities of the upcoming Lynnfield CPUs, users might benefit more if they wait for the official unveiling of Intel's next-generation mainstream processors. There have been a series of reports in recent days, regarding Intel's upcoming processor update. As it turns out, Chipzilla has been stating that the Core i5 branding is nothing more than a rumor and that its upcoming Lynnfield CPUs will be named differently. As of recently the only thing certain about these new chips is that they will boast a four-core, eight-threaded architecture and have one less memory channel than Intel's current Core i7 platform. Expected to become available by the end of this year, Lynnfield will also provide users with the aforementioned Turbo Boost feature, designed to increase the performance of the CPU.
