Quad Core Opteron Processors

As most of us know, a processor's level 1 & 2 caches are where most of the advanced calculations are processed. Well, the highest concentration of level 2 cache AMD ever implemented into it's processors was 2 Megabytes. Given, 2 MB of L2 cache is a lot compared to the previous Skt A 256 and 512 KB caches; but now AMD pushes the envelope and develops a quad core processor with each core containing (in respective models) 1 MB to 2 MB of L2 cache. Now more calculations can be processed at higher clocks. (For those it may concern: That means 4 MB & 8 MB models :)

Will this level 2 cache expanding trend continue on to the level 1 cache?

HyperTransport 3.0

With CPU speed and RAM clocks on the rise, it only seems right that the front-side bus speed should be rising. AMD's newest front-side bus brings forth the capability to transfer at speeds of 2.6 Ghz and transfer over 20 GB of data per second. The next few years should prove to be very promising in processor development.

Will a new FSB speed cause a new standard AMD RAM clock to emerge?

Happy Birthday Computer Developments!!!
This Week marks 1 year of service.

DDR3 System Memory

The first DDR brought forth the capability of running at 400 Mhz, then DDR 2 came along and doubled to a speed of 800 Mhz. Well now our system memory can run at the sleek new speed of 1600 Mhz. The advantage of this should be rather obvious. For example, four times faster loading screens for all you gamerz out there. This new development should prove to be an important step to creating perfect computer performance.

Will DDR4 bring forth clock speeds of 3200 Mhz?

Organic LED Display

If any of you ever watched Minority Report you would remember the amazing transparent displays that were shown in the movie. Well, out of the science fiction and into the real-life. Organic LED is the answer. Using this display feature potentially any type of glass or plastic larger than 100 nanometers thick can become a display monitor.

Will transparent displays become a new standard?
