Apple and its dual-core option


Apple and its dual-core option 08/22/2004 11:29 AM
According to an <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/18/dual-cores_detailed /">article</A> published Wednesday in The Register, it seems that Freescale Semiconductor Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Inc., is set to unveil a dual-core processor at Microprocessor Forum in San Jose in October. "Freescale's dual-core PowerPC is expected to sport an on-board memory controller, this one capable of supporting DDR 2 SDRAM, along with a Gigabit Ethernet controller. It is also expected to use the Rapid IO bus, according to past Motorola pronouncements, though MPX bus support is also anticipated to maintain backward compatibility… (with speeds) beyond 2GHz." Of course, this all sounds great, but with all the chatter regarding dual-<I>processor</I> PowerBooks, this dual-core nonsense is bound to cause some confusion. So, allow me to explain, as best I understand it, anyway. The main issue here is heat. As we know, a single processor produces a heck of a lot of warmth, and the issue of cooling has been a major bone of contention in Apple’s hardware. As it goes with the current offerings, the faster the chip, the hotter the output, making it incredibly difficult for Apple to implement either dual G4 or G5 architecture into its current line of laptops. That being said, dual-core processors represent an interesting option — or at least a stop-gap between the PowerBook-friendly G5. Dual-cores can process two times more data per clock, which ultimately allows the whole system to perform much better when running under processor-intensive applications. Furthermore, both cores have their own cache. Level 2 and level 3 cache have always been an issue with G4 processors, as their general clock and bus speed hindrances have been compensated for with a fair amount of cache. However, as with the G5, dual G4 and basically every new chip that may appear the horizon is the architecture of Freescale’s current MPX bus. Since Apple’s not likely to overhaul its flagship laptop (i.e., with RapidIO interconnect) until it is capable to sport a G5, so the dual-core may be as crippled as the DDR SDRAM that currently pumps through the PowerBook. Dual-core may not mean much to the PowerBook as it stands, but it definitely spells good things to come for the PowerPC processor — both from Motorola and (hopefully, eventually) IBM. Since keeping PowerBook's cool and kernel-panic free is of utmost importance, dual-core could very well represent the future of Apple's professional portables. I can see it now: <B>One Apple, Two Cores.</B>

Motherboard meltdown


Motherboard meltdown 07/25/2004 08:56 AM
My motherboard completely melted this morning. One minute I'm computing fine, the next my screen is frozen. On a cold boot, it can't get past the opening bios welcome screen. I can't even enter the bios setup page. Heck, it was almost a year old, so it lasted longer than most of my electronic equipment. And I was in the market to spend a few hundred dollars getting myself back to where I was anyway. Sigh....

On the meltdown at the Guardian...


On the meltdown at the Guardian... 03/14/2003 12:59 PM

Mad outbursts in national newspapers are like the rays of sunshine glinting through the storm clouds of international news. It's lovely to be able to sense the person who wrote the news, and get a sense of his or her vibrant perspective on the events they're writing about. It adds interest to information that you might otherwise wish to totally disregard. Like for example information on Cricket! So let's turn towards today's cricket report on Guardian Unlimited. It starts reasonably enough:

"It's really simple: India are already through, New Zealand have to win."

But then it goes a little pear-shaped:

"Meanwhile, have you ever thought what sort of life is this and what the hell am I doing boarding a train for Moorgate at 6.30 In the morning and then standing around for ages waiting for a tube while staring at a sign telling you that if you wait for four minutes you can board a train to Uxbridge I'd rather wait four hours for a journey with the Grim Reaper quite frankly and then you get to work and then there's this and I know the cricket's good and all that but I've got out of the wrong side of bed this morning and in any case it's not as if I'll write a cracking match report and then get rewarded by being sent on a wonderful assignment around the world because I'll be very surprised if any of my bosses will read any of this let's be honest they won't although on the other hand that's probably just as well.."

And that's before the weblog-style grumpy commentary kicks in! I mean - classy, fascinating comments emerge like, "Asger Kring works for a Copenhagen media company that publishes several newspapers. "Do you want me to inquire whether they are looking for an over-by-over commentary guy?" Yes. Yes. YES! YES! YES!!!! Not that I'm desperate or anything." By the ninth over, people are writing in with their improvisational 'hit the keyboard with your fists' comments:

"I must have a different keyboard-banging technique from Leonard," types John Kirby with his big fists. "I get 'ytcdskljojnvds.lkzsedli;j un fesalmjni vfesa;lmija;mju fceiv faewj;omivrewaomiu; svfeomijuhlvesmu;oilgvrstmjloivtrseomiju,' which looks rather like Finnish."

God, my sides would be shaking hard as Shakin' Stephens if it wasn't (as Matt has pointed out to me) potentially a 'wacky' Red Nose Day thing. Wouldn't that just drain all the life out of it? Like all the life out of it? I hate Red Nose Day. It's so desperate and tiring and forced. And they think they're being so cool and down with the kids. Grrr. Wankers.
