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.

The world of the rumor mill technology does not stop. With the iPad 2 just presented and at full speed, increase (divining) eyes on what might be the next version of Apple's iPhone. And it is that according to reveal a Taiwanese website citing next source, 5 iPhone could be a very different appearance. Although the main feature that has transpired is that it would have carcarsa of aluminium.

We all remember the chapter of the antenna when it came out the current version of the popular Apple phone, or criticism to his rear and ease to deslucir is. It seems that from Cupertino are toward in remedying this. And we should learn from the mistakes to remain a reference. Thus, the new iPhone 5 would be redesigned with a new aluminum case, and the strangest thing, the Apple logo formally an antenna. Something that takes power after it was revealed a few weeks ago the patent for it.

This will make a phone lighter and more resistant, as well as solve the problem of coverage by the status of the antenna. But like everything else, still part of the rumors. We will see what's true in this (can be esfumará as the new small version?), but also discussed a possible 4-inch screen. That Yes, it seems logical that the chip A5 will be the heart that formally, as it has just been imposed with the iPad 2. And as we advance, the camera could be Sony.
