		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I wrote about how hard it was to find Windows 8 tablets on store shelves, even though Microsoft&#8217;s latest operating system launched nearly a month ago. Here&#8217;s one possible explanation: Intel is reportedly having trouble supplying its Clover Trail-based Atom chips to hardware makers. Those chips are featured in several Windows 8 tablets due to launch this year. The news is tucked into a larger report from InformationWeek about the supposed &#8220;disarray&#8221; of Microsoft&#8217;s tablet plans: The problem is Clover Trail. Intel just doesn&#8217;t have it ready for mass production. Insiders say that, among other things, there&#8217;s a problem with the chip&#8217;s power management software. Intel ignored my request for a comment yesterday. There are some puzzling elements in InformationWeek&#8217;s report. The story claims that Microsoft&#8217;s Surface with Windows 8 Pro tablet is facing a &#8220;delay,&#8221; when in fact Microsoft always said it would ship the tablet 90 days after the launch of Windows 8. As far as we know, it&#8217;s still on schedule. InformationWeek&#8217;s speculation that the departure of Steven Sinofsky is somehow tied this situation seems like a leap to me. Still, the article rightly points out that pinning down release dates from other tablet makers has been difficult. The Acer Iconia W510, for instance, was supposed to launch on November 9, but retailers like J&#38;R still say it&#8217;s in pre-order. Dell originally had a November 13 ship date for its Latitude 10, but now Dell&#8217;s website says December 12 at the earliest. A delay in Clover Trail processors makes sense as an explanation, and looking into it further, this isn&#8217;t the first report of problems on Intel&#8217;s end. In October, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Intel was behind in delivering software that conserves battery life in its Clover Trail processors, which in turn caused holdups in Microsoft&#8217;s approval process. Intel&#8217;s Clover Trail-based Atom chips are supposed to be competitive with ARM-based processors, the type that appear in most phones and tablets as well as in Microsoft&#8217;s Surface with Windows RT. Tablets with Clover Trail inside promise<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=151513&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Apple switched to Intel chips back in 2006, reality almost imploded, and when Steve Jobs launched the iPad without an Intel microprocessor, you could almost feel the ripples through the time-space continuum. What you probably didn&#8217;t know, is that the iPad almost had an Intel chip under the hood. And here&#8217;s the kicker: The guy responsible for putting the kibosh on an iPad-Intel deal? Not Steve Jobs. Shocking, I know. (MORE: &#8216;Steve Jobs&#8217; Book Delves Deep into Complex Man&#8217;s Life) The story&#8217;s in Walter Isaacson&#8217;s biography of Jobs, released earlier this week, and it pits Jobs against former Apple bigwig Tony Fadell, a Senior Vice President in the iPod division before he left Apple in 2010 to found a company that&#8217;s just released a &#8220;smart&#8221; digital thermostat. According to Isaacson (via Wall Street Journal), Jobs wanted Intel&#8217;s low-power Atom processors in the iPad from the start, so much so that his pushing prompted Fadell—who wanted even lower-powered ARM-based chips in the tablet—to threaten resignation. That led Jobs to do something uncharacteristic: He backed down. Apple went on to develop its own ARM-style chips, including the iPad&#8217;s A4, an ARM Cortex A8 plus a PowerVR GPU, and the iPad 2&#8242;s A5, based on an ARM Cortex A9 CPU and a PowerVR GPU. In fact, Jobs goes on to criticize Intel in Isaacson&#8217;s book: &#8220;There were two reasons we didn’t go with them,&#8221; says Jobs in the authorized biography. &#8220;One was that they are just really slow. They are like a steamship, not very flexible. We’re used to going pretty fast. Second is that we just didn’t want to teach them everything, which they could go and sell to our competitors.&#8221; Intel CEO Otellini&#8217;s response (in the book)? The real reason&#8217;s that Apple and Intel couldn&#8217;t agree on chip pricing, or who&#8217;d have ultimate control of the chip design. And that&#8217;s something, if true, that should surprise no one. MORE: Read Isaacson&#8217;s recent TIME article about Steve Jobs Matt Peckham is a reporter at TIME.

		<description><![CDATA[Intel is betting big on small, announcing a deal with Google to get future Android-based devices running on Intel chips, along with a plan (not involving Google) for much more efficient power management features for thin-and-light ultrabooks that&#8217;ll be hitting the market soon. The company has been chasing after the mobile segment for a while now—see this article from May of last year—but a deal with Google could help finally kick things into high gear. Intel already provides Atom processors for Google TV and Chromebooks, but mobile chipsets for tablets and smartphones could prove to be much more lucrative for Intel. (PHOTOS: A Brief History of the Computer) The big challenge will be getting power management right. Intel&#8217;s current chips are small and powerful but still don&#8217;t provide the same time between charges afforded by the ARM-based chipsets found in most current mobile devices. Optimizing Android devices for Intel hardware will help somewhat, but time will tell whether such devices perform better than ones using chips from competitors. Intel and Google promise that this deal will promote &#8220;choice&#8221; and &#8220;innovation&#8221;—two words used by both Intel CEO Paul Otellini and Google&#8217;s Andy Rubin in Intel&#8217;s press release announcing the partnership. And speaking of power management, Intel also announced that its next-generation &#8220;Haswell&#8221; platform will make it to market in 2013. Developed with the upcoming crop of lightweight-yet-powerful ultrabooks in mind, the Haswell chips &#8220;are expected to reduce idle platform power by more than 20 times over current designs,&#8221; according to Intel&#8217;s press release. Otellini thinks that by 2013, ultrabooks will be capable of achieving &#8220;more than 10 days of connected standby battery life.&#8221; That &#8220;connected standby&#8221; quip is important: Unlike regular standby, connected standby would put your computer in a power-sipping state, yet it&#8217;d still be connected, &#8220;keeping the e-mail, social media and digital content up-to-date,&#8221; says Intel.

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s Intel Developer Forum fastest processor in the world gold star goes to Int—I mean, AMD? That&#8217;s right, AMD, Intel&#8217;s least-favorite chip-making rival, who apparently managed to jam prototype processing tech, incantations from a book of magic, a sacrificial dove and a bag of gilded runestones into a box to coax an AMD FX desktop processor from zero to 8.429GHz in no time flat. (MORE: Alienware Bolsters Gaming Portables, Adds Monster 18-inch) Now read what I just wrote without the made-up magic bits and you&#8217;ve got AMD&#8217;s perfectly real Bulldozer-core FX processor tech, code named &#8220;Zambezi,&#8221; that roared past the prior record holder by over 100MHz in AMD&#8217;s Guinness World Record-breaking overclock (announced at IDF to boot). According to HotHardware, AMD&#8217;s goals during the test were twofold: to show the Bulldozer chip architecture has serious frequency headroom, and to test for &#8220;cold bugs&#8221;—issues that manifest at extremely low temperatures. And the temps got plenty low here. The score was achieved with basic BIOS settings and without benchmarks, since the goal was strictly to achieve the highest CPU-Z score. CPU-Z is a free and widely used Windows-based clocking utility for measuring a CPU&#8217;s frequency or &#8220;clock speed.&#8221; The clock speed was adjusted upward on-the-fly, and the CPU itself was initially cooled with liquid nitrogen. Until they switched to liquid helium (that&#8217;s right, liquid helium) at which point the temps drop to below 220 degrees Celsius (minus 428F). As the team crossed the 8.309GHz record threshold, they pointed out &#8220;and we had the virus scanner enabled&#8230;let&#8217;s see if we can go higher.&#8221; And higher they do, until&#8230;well, you&#8217;ll want to watch for yourself, up top, to see (or rather hear) what happens when you push a CPU like this to its absolute limits.

		<description><![CDATA[The promise of Windows-based &#8220;ultrabooks&#8221; is an intriguing one. They&#8217;re coming later this year and they&#8217;ll sport super-thin, super-light designs similar to those found in Apple&#8217;s MacBook Air line of notebooks. As Windows machines, there may have been an expectation that they&#8217;d cost less than similarly-outfitted MacBook Air models. Intel&#8217;s initial press release even stated, &#8220;This family of products will enable thin, light and beautiful designs that are less than 20mm (0.8 inch) thick, and mainstream price points under US$1,000.&#8221; (MORE: Next in Notebooks: Super Thin &#8216;Ultrabooks&#8217; to Cost Under $1,000) However DigiTimes is now reporting that the scarcity of necessary components and screens for these ultrabooks &#8220;render the hope practically infeasible&#8221; when it comes to hitting price points below $1,000. Asus and HP are expected to have the first ultrabooks out of the gate, with the 11.6-inch Asus UX21 mentioned by name in Intel&#8217;s original press release. DigiTimes notes that the UX21 and its 13.3-inch cousin, the UX31 are expected to launch &#8220;in late September or early October,&#8221; and will be priced between $1,000 and $1,600, adding, &#8220;This is mainly because yield rates for panels and key components are still lower than originally expected and therefore production costs are relatively high.&#8221; (MORE: MacBook Air Review: Thin, Light, and Utterly Mainstream) Apple&#8217;s most recent crop of MacBook Air models start at $999 for the 11.6-inch version and $1,299 for the 13.3-inch version. The most expensive off-the-shelf 13.3-inch version tops out at $1,599 so if what DigiTimes is reporting pans out, we may be looking at the initial round of ultrabooks carrying price tags identical to those of the current MacBook Air models.

		<description><![CDATA[Not that it should be a huge surprise by any stretch of the imagination, but notebook computers will continue to get thinner, lighter and less expensive. So says Intel, which outlined what it&#8217;s calling &#8220;Ultrabooks&#8221;—portable computers that&#8217;ll measure well under an inch thick and run atop Intel&#8217;s latest line of &#8220;Core&#8221; processors: &#8220;Intel’s vision is to enable a new user experience by accelerating a new class of mobile computers. These computers will marry the performance and capabilities of today’s laptops with tablet-like features and deliver a highly responsive and secure experience, in a thin, light and elegant design… …This family of products will enable thin, light and beautiful designs that are less than 20mm (0.8 inch) thick, and mainstream price points under US$1,000. Systems based on these chips will be available for the 2011 winter holiday shopping season and include the UX21, ASUS Ultrabook.&#8221; Asus outlined the above-mentioned UX21 in its own press release, saying that it&#8217;ll measure just 17 millimeters (0.67 inches) at its thickest point and be encased in an aluminum alloy shell. You&#8217;ll be able to buy the UX21 Ultrabook with an Intel Core i7 processor, too, which ought to pack sufficient punch while remaining plenty portable. Future lines of ultrabooks will roll out in the first half of next year, too, and sport Intel&#8217;s upcoming line of &#8220;Ivy Bridge&#8221; processors we heard about earlier this month. Those will be Intel&#8217;s smallest processors yet, but will provide up to a 37% performance increase over current-generation processors.

		<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago, Intel was keen on steering people away from netbooks. The chip maker asked retailers to warn consumers about what netbooks can&#8217;t do, and created the &#8220;ultra-thin&#8221; category to provide a more powerful &#8212; and more expensive &#8212; alternative. My, how things have changed. According to DigiTimes, Intel will offer its Cedar Trail netbook platform to vendors for 30 percent to 50 percent cheaper than current Atom processors, in hopes of giving a shot in the arm to small, low-powered laptops. Netbooks based on Cedar Trail could be priced as low as $200, DigiTimes&#8217; sources say. With lower prices, Intel will try to revive a netbook market that, after booming for a few years, has now taken a nosedive. Last month, Microsoft said that netbook sales fell by 40 percent in the most recent quarter, fueling an 8 percent drop in consumer PC sales. Intel has described netbook sales as &#8220;pretty flat&#8221; quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. Tablets, and Apple&#8217;s iPad in particular, are the obvious culprits. Intel always pitched netbooks as a companion device to more powerful PCs, which is the same purpose that a tablet fulfills. Other factors could include the rise of bigger, more powerful notebooks in the $400 to $500 range and the U.S. economy&#8217;s emergence from a recession, reducing the temptation to use a netbook as a primary PC. Cheaper netbooks are an easy answer to all of those problems while Intel tries to get into the tablet business itself. So far, it&#8217;s been slow-going as vendors opt for low-power ARM-based processors in smartphones and tablets. There&#8217;s one twist to the story of Intel&#8217;s newfound netbook love: According to DigiTimes, Intel will be shifting its sales targets to emerging markets, such as Brazil and India. We&#8217;ll still see netbooks stateside, and they&#8217;ll probably get cheaper, but Intel would still prefer that you buy something a little more expensive &#8212; as long as it&#8217;s not an iPad.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=84296&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Apple rumor du jour is a juicy one: the company might switch computer processor architectures again, ditching Intel in favour of ARM. Apple already uses ARM-designed chips inside its mobile devices. The question is, will Apple start putting ARMs inside its computers too? According to semiconductor gossip site (yes, there is semiconductor gossip! Who knew?) Semiaccurate, the answer is yes. Their source said it was &#8220;a done deal&#8221; for Apple&#8217;s laptops to switch to ARM chips within 2-3 years. Tony Smith at The Register sounds a note of caution. He says ARM and Intel chips are very different beasts. ARM&#8217;s design is optimised for low power consumption, perfect for small mobile devices. Intel&#8217;s offers better performance &#8211; it computes things faster, and can handle more of them simultaneously. So why would Apple consider putting ARM chips inside its line of laptops? Perhaps because some of its laptops, like the MacBook Air, are becoming more like mobile devices and less like traditional laptops. Perhaps because it has plans for OS X that would make it more like iOS. Or perhaps because it knows something about ARM&#8217;s plans for the future that we don&#8217;t.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=80964&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Avatar&#8216;s tawny-eyed, blue-skinned aliens to high-def Blu-ray movies to Nintendo’s totable 3DS, everyone’s hip to 3D, and the latest company to hop onboard looks to be&#8211;wait a second, Intel? Yep, Intel, as in Intel 3D microprocessors. No, you won’t need dorky glasses to run your next computer, but using sophisticated 3D assembly tricks, Intel just announced it’s found a pretty cool new way to reduce size and power requirements in upcoming batches of CPUs. They’re calling it “Tri-Gate Transistor Technology,” and it runs on microscopically small 22 nanometer silicon (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter). That&#8217;s in fact 10 nanometers smaller than the company’s current 32 nm “Sandy Bridge” family. You&#8217;re looking at a picture of it up top. No, that&#8217;s not me zooming on a piece of Frosted Mini-Wheats. Microprocessors, you’ve probably heard, are composed of millions or even billions of tiny electrical components called transistors. Over time, transistor counts must increase to deliver incremental computing power. According to &#8220;Moore&#8217;s Law,&#8221; the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles every two years, thus the need to build smaller, denser chips (so we&#8217;re not running computers the size of houses). Trouble is, you&#8217;re up against the limits of space, and as we&#8217;ve taken transistors down to the size of blood cells, the problem&#8217;s vexed processor manufacturer&#8217;s&#8211;Moore&#8217;s Law appears headed toward a ceiling. The (temporary) solution? Switch to 3D. As in 3D transistors. Since 1959, transistors have followed what&#8217;s called a &#8220;planar&#8221; or flat 2D process. With the new technology, Intel&#8217;s switched to a process whereby a small &#8220;fin&#8221; of silicon is raised above the surface of the chip&#8211;the &#8220;3-D&#8221; effect, if you will. Check out this slightly humorous Intel video for a four-minute breakdown: Intel claims the upsides of doing this include: improved switching (on/off) states, a 37% performance increase at low voltages (compared with existing 32nm planar transistors), half the power consumption of &#8220;2-D&#8221; transistors on 32nm chips, and&#8211;more a marketing point than a technical one&#8211;the ability to &#8220;continue Moore&#8217;s Law.&#8221; In other words, faster, smaller, cooler chips,<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=80476&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first job ever was at Best Buy. I applied when I was 14 and was turned down for being too young. I reapplied at 15, was almost hired, and then got turned down when they asked to see my non-existent driver&#8217;s license. I reapplied on my 16th birthday and was finally hired. Nerd alert. In the two years between when I first applied and the day I actually got hired, the amount of tiny transistors that could be stuffed onto a processor had roughly doubled, according to Moore&#8217;s law. Again, nerd alert. Making $5.18 an hour selling computers when the rest of your friends are making $4.25 an hour wherever people who don&#8217;t sell computers work was enough to make me believe I&#8217;d be comfortable working at Best Buy for the rest of my life. And by my calculations, if I&#8217;d stayed in the computer department at Best Buy Store #005 until the present day AND the wages of computer salespeople grew commensurate with Moore&#8217;s law, I&#8217;d now be making $1326.08 per hour. But math was never my strong suit, so I could be way off and Moore&#8217;s law doesn&#8217;t apply to money, so that&#8217;s that. Anyway. When you sold a computer to someone in 1995, it was important to know the ins and outs of the new, first-generation Pentium processors on the market because people used to ask about processors back then. It was one of the most important—if not the most important—selling points. AMD&#8217;s K5 processor that came out the following year added yet another level of complexity to a life already complicated by high school, (lack of) girls, and trying to find braided belts that went well with corduroys and Birkenstocks. Fast forward to today and the processor, though still very important to the overall functioning of any computing device, is rarely the first thing on the minds of most regular consumers shopping for technology and probably the last thing on anyone at Best Buy&#8217;s mind (burn!). Most people want tablets, thin and light laptops with<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=76113&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everywhere you turn this week at South By Southwest Interactive, there is the feeling of a countdown underway – the countdown to a new way of gaming, a new way of sharing things with your social network, a new way of shopping. No one quite knows how we&#8217;ll get there, or what shape it will take, but after sitting through three days of panels and discussions, I certainly feel as if we are sitting on the brink of the next great idea. Saturday morning, one of the festival’s most fascinating panels was about the ways in which we are changing our consumption of visual media. And featured in the discussion “The Last Broadcast: Entertainment is Social – What’s Next?” was Brian David Johnson (above), Intel’s resident futurist. His professional mission is to develop an actionable plan for 2020 – to keep Intel one step ahead of the competition in terms of how consumers want to watch, interact and compute. And it doesn’t take a genius to see that as everything starts to go streaming, from television to movies to music, that almost anything you consume will be engaged via computer. “We have almost arrived at a place where people expect any screen to be connected to the Internet, and expect that they will be able to engage that screen in a dynamic way,&#8221; Johnson said. In other words: If I see a screen, I’m going to assume both that it’s a touchscreen and that I can access any and all streamable media. Johnson says when he walked the floors of CES this year, what struck him most was the proliferation of new screens – this obsession with finding newer, smaller, faster, friendlier connections to online media. Gone was the era of the new device, replaced by the era of the smarter and savvier screen. (More at Techland: How to Opt Out of Everything Online and Reclaim Your Privacy) Immediately after his Saturday presentation at South By Southwest, Johnson took to the airport to begin a three-week, round-the-world trip, on a<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=70457&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been trying to keep track of the latest Apple rumor announcements, you&#8217;re probably lost in all the delayed iPhone 5 news, miniature MacBook Pros that may or may not be launched and Light Peak ports that work at warp speed. To make things easier, Techland is going to break down what&#8217;s been overheard for you to make it easier to digest: New MacBook Pros? - Apple could be unveiling their new line of MacBook Pros tomorrow to coincide with Steve Job&#8217;s birthday. If all goes to plan, the computers should be available in two weeks, and shipments should start shortly. [via BGR] (More on TIME.com: New MacBook Pro Line Rumored for Thursday) - The computers will reportedly be half a pound lighter than their older counterparts. To further break it down, 4 pounds for the 13-inch model, 5.1 pounds for the 15-inch model, and 5.8 pounds for the 17-inch model. [via BGR and MacGeneration] - You can apparently expect better battery life on all computers: 12 hours for the 13-inch model&#8217;, 10 hours for the 15-inch model. [via MacGeneration] - They will reportedly have larger glass trackpads than previous models. [via BGR] - The OS will apparently be located on an internal 8-gigabyte or 16-gigabyte solid state hard drive, while all other information will be stored on a standard hard drive.  [via BGR or MacGeneration] - All models will apparently have HD screens. [via MacGeneration] - Say hello to the rumored Thunderbolt port, also known as &#8220;Light Peak&#8221; connector that everyone&#8217;s been buzzing about. The high-speed connection is faster than USB 3.0 and can carry 10 gigabits of data per second &#8211; in both directions at the same time. In the future, developer Intel hopes to get Light Peak as fast as 100 gigabits per second. [via CNET] Here&#8217;s a rumored picture of the Light Peak port [via Mac 4 Ever]: - For the 15- and 17-inch models, there&#8217;s apparently an option to replace the optical SuperDrive with a solid state drive. [via MacGeneration]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=67743&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may recall that President Obama&#8217;s recent State of the Union address contained a fair amount of tech talk, calling for increases in research and development investments, clean energy initiatives, and innovation across the telecommunications sector. ABC News is reporting that Obama is scheduled to meet with various business leaders in San Francisco tonight, many of whom run big tech companies according to ABC&#8217;s sources. Three of the bigger names: Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. I can almost personally guarantee that Zuckerberg won&#8217;t dress up for the meeting. Jobs might not either. Schmidt will be in a suit, shirt tucked in, hair nicely combed. After these titans of industry meld minds with Obama, the president will jet off to Hillsboro, Oregon to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for Intel&#8217;s newest fabrication plant. This &#8220;next-next-generation facility,&#8221; says CNET, will specialize in building processors so small and advanced that production won&#8217;t even begin until 2013. Hoping to compete with rival manufacturers in Asia, Intel has said it will spend between $6 billion and $8 billion on its facilities in Arizona and Oregon. Obama&#8217;s presence at tomorrow&#8217;s groundbreaking has been explained by the following official White House statement: &#8220;Intel has committed to investing more than $6 billion in their U.S.-based manufacturing facilities to support future technology advancements in Arizona and Oregon, creating more than 6,000 construction jobs and more than 800 permanent high-tech jobs. The meeting is a part of our ongoing dialogue with the business community on how we can work together to win the future, strengthen our economy, support entrepreneurship, and get the American people back to work.&#8221; More on TIME.com: Obama Outlines Tech Goals in State of the Union Address Presidential Friend Request: Obama and Zuckerberg to Sit Down Intel Promises 35 Tablets in 2011<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=67077&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technology has undeniably changed the way we communicate, read, play and even how we live, but for the most part, these shifts have focused primarily in the online world. Not anymore. The latest digital innovations seamlessly bridge the gap between the online and offline worlds, creating user experiences that are interactive, socially integrated, personally tailored — and ingrained into our everyday activities. It may very well be the next wave of a technological revolution, and at its core is one of the most social hobbies we partake in (well, at least most women partake in): shopping, of course. Welcome to the world of experiential retail, where in-store shopping is enhanced with interactive interfaces, augmented reality and social media integration to create a unique experience for each individual consumer. From virtual mirrors that allow users to try on makeup without actually putting it on their faces, to window and storefront displays projected in 3D (or even 4D, as was the case with Ralph Lauren in 2010), these technological trends have been popping up in stores around the world, and could soon be available in a mall near you — if they aren&#8217;t already. Last month at the National Retail Federation Convention in New York, Intel Corporation unveiled its Connected Store concept, a two-story, 2,400-square-foot experimental retail storefront, equipped with the company&#8217;s latest advances in interactive in-store shopping. By partnering with brands such as Adidas, Best Buy, Kraft Foods and Procter &#38; Gamble, Intel introduced new ways that retailers can engage with their customers — and revealed what may be the future of shopping. (More on Techland: Kraft Scans Your Face To Determine What You Want to Eat) For Adidas, Intel created the adiVERSE Footwear Wall, which allowed users to peruse more than 8,000 shoe styles in 3D on one of its multiple touchscreens. Not only does this enable customers to shop with ease using technology they are already comfortable with, but the adiVERSE system has the added benefit of helping Adidas track their total inventory and therefore allows them to offer<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=66824&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New technology from processor makers Intel and AMD has paved the way for some nice advancements as far as laptop features are concerned. While laptops have generally gotten powerful enough to replace desktop computers for most people, that power has come at the expense of weight, heat and battery life in many instances. Intel&#8217;s next-generation Sandy Bridge platform and AMD&#8217;s next-generation Fusion chips look to whittle down the tradeoffs between price, performance, power and battery life. Lenovo&#8217;s upcoming Y460p and Y560p IdeaPad line leverages Intel&#8217;s new chipset and promises to be able to boot into Windows 7 in just 10 seconds—most computers take 30 seconds or more. That&#8217;s possible with an optional hybrid storage configuration that uses solid state memory alongside a traditional hard drive. Those machines will be out on January 18th and will start at around $900. HP has also announced the Pavilion dm1, an 11.6-inch computer that &#8220;combines the performance of a notebook with the mobility of a netbook.&#8221; It weighs 3.5 pounds, will start at $450, and makes use of AMD&#8217;s new Fusion graphics technology to provide up to 10.75 hours of battery life when configured with a solid state drive. It&#8217;s also got a full size keyboard, to boot. So the promise is that you&#8217;ll get full notebook computing power in a package that&#8217;s priced, sized, and features the battery life of a netbook. It&#8217;ll be available from HP.com starting January 9th and other retailers later in the month.

		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, Intel&#8217;s been left out in the cold when it comes to tablets and smartphones. While the company&#8217;s processors are relatively powerful compared to mobile-centric processors from competitors like Qualcomm and Marvell, they aren&#8217;t able to eke out nearly as much battery life. To address the growing tablet market Intel unveiled its &#8220;Oak Trail&#8221; processor design in June, promising that it&#8217;s &#8220;optimized for sleek tablet and netbook designs&#8221; and will be available in early 2011. Intel CEO Paul Otellini reaffirmed that promise recently, telling industry analysts that his company&#8217;s processors will power 35 tablets from brands such as Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and Asus by the middle of next year. Otellini added that Intel&#8217;s smartphone-specific &#8220;Medfield&#8221; processors will begin showing up next year as well, saying, &#8220;You will see smartphones from premier branded vendors in the second half of 2011 with Intel silicon inside them,&#8221; according to Reuters. Intel will be playing a fair amount of catch-up over the next couple of years, especially as tablets and smartphones begin to erode sales of conventional portable computers. The company has the facilities and money to make a big long term push, though, and Otellini&#8217;s attitude that competing in the smartphone segment is &#8220;a marathon, not a sprint,&#8221; according to Reuters, will likely turn out to be pretty accurate over the next decade or so.

That&#8217;s &#8220;more than 40% higher&#8221; than the score set by the &#8220;Jaguar&#8221; supercomputer housed here in the U.S. at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, according to the Wall Street Journal. Part of the reason behind Tianhe-1A&#8217;s speed comes from &#8220;coupling massively parallel GPUs with multi-core CPUs,&#8221; according to U.S.-based graphics chip maker NVIDIA, which supplied 7,168 GPUs (graphics processing units) to the project. The GPUs were paired with 14,336 CPUs (central processing units) made by Intel. NVIDIA contends that without combining GPUs and CPUs, the speeds attained would have required &#8220;more than 50,000 CPUs and twice as much floor space,&#8221; and would have consumed 12 megawatts of power. The current system uses just over four megawatts. The Wall Street Journal notes that since China&#8217;s supercomputer uses Intel and NVIDIA parts, &#8220;U.S. customers could presumably construct a system with similar performance.&#8221; However, other components, such as the communications chips, were designed in China and contain proprietary technology. And China &#8220;is also working on its own microprocessors.&#8221; The supercomputer &#8220;was designed by the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in China&#8221; and &#8220;will be operated as an open access system to use for large scale scientific operations,&#8221; according to NVIDIA.
