PCI-Express 3.0 could be a surprise to Intel Ivy Bridge by 2012

ivy Bridge, the family of Intel microprocessors that will happen to the current Intel Core 2nd Gen. (or Sandy Bridge), will bring an evolution towards the 22 nanometer manufacturing process as the main, but could also have some surprise: PCI-Express 3.0.

PCIe has become a few years in the standard of connection of graphics cards with the motherboard at the household level, i.e. on the computers of our homes. Currently dominates the PCI-E 2.0 version. The main improvements that would mean the third generation would double bandwidth on the basis of 16 links (16 x), with what the GPU could communicate much faster than with other components of the computer.

Obviously, as well as the improvement provided by PCI-Express 3.0 also will have to evolve both graphics cards such as motherboards, more specifically their chipsets. The Ivy Bridge chipset will be the first to support PCI-E 3.0, and supposedly motherboards for these new chips would also be the first to use their slots (we will see if some or all of them).

With all this the launch of Ivy Bridge could bring quite a few news about: 22 nanometers, new base and new chipsets, new socket (it has not yet been confirmed, but we all know Intel), PCI-Express 3.0 and with it new graphics cards. When? By 2012, certainly CES 2012.

New RAM Kingston HyperX Genesis for Sandy Bridge

Components of PC WhisKiTo on March 9, 2011 | 08: 17 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

I must admit that the RAM is one of the components where less efforts put. I believe that the improvement from a good RAM to a normal (never bad) is tiny, and I understand that it is better to use the budget to choose other more powerful components. But we know that the views are million, and for the more meticulous in case the Kingston hyperx genesishas been.

A priori do not seem more than a RAM memories as any other model of the market. They include heat sink aluminum as any other Kingston HyperX, are of type DDR3 or DDR2 (surprise! DDR2! in 2011) and are sold in multiple packs and more different clock settings: from 1,333 to 2133 MHz. could say that they are somewhat worse than the HyperX T1 Black, but also better than the more traditional and classical, ValueRAM which we all know.

We must note that they will be sold to dozens of different packs: If individual modules, with various latencies, modules prepared for Triple Channel... in summary will have from 1 GB up to 24 GB for between 18 and 364 dollars. Where must choose, so let it alone.

All indications are that the model will arrive to replace the Dell Adamo recently stopped being manufactured, and as a model more appealing medially, we look forward to end of the six weeks, is show in April.

We have enough interest in this new team, as it would be an alternative to the above notebooks from Samsung and Apple, but we are not committed to that are much cheaper, since if you follow the steps of the Dell Adamo, will have to pay high for them.

The news of the arrival of news in the coming weeks is presented as logic after the break in the production of Dell for the problem announced by Intel (on 31 January), considered an error of design on the chipset of the new Sandy Bridgealso known as cougar point.

Dell notebook first with the problem solved were the XPS 15 and 17, which were already released to the market last month.
