Intel just confirmed the release of their high end 64-bit server processor, Itanium, which uses 667MHz FSB (front side bus).
The 667MHz bus rather than the 400MHz buses for these Itaniums will deliver over 65% greater system bandwidth than those with a 400MHz front side bus. 65% improvement will no doubt boost the server performance significantly. The figures Intel cites said 667MHz FSB allows 10.6 gigabits of data per second to go from CPU to other system components, while the 400MHz front side bus transfers 6.4 gigabits of data per second.

At first, I couldn’t think of a good title for this article regarding the new LCD monitor from Sharp. So, end up using the name how Sharp calls the new technology LCD : “Two-Way Viewing-Angle LCD” !! B-)
Sharp revealed this new LCD during the company’s preview of its new LCD technology in Tokyo on Thursday, July 14, 2005.
Quoted:
The technology that enables the device is called a “parallax barrier.” When superimposed on the LCD, it causes “the light from the backlight to separate into right and left directions, which makes possible a display in which the view differs depending on the angle at which the screen is viewed,” Sharp said in a statement.
It seems to me blogging is full of potential to be one of the driving forces on the Internet to help promoting information sharing among individuals as well as enterprises.
Otherwise IBM wouldn’t announce two blogging tools, taking advantage of a practice of enterprise blogging which starting to be a new trend in big companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. Take for instance, we have seen Google Blog from Google teams and IE Blog from Microsoft.
Quoted:
IBM sees blogging as a key way for companies to promote information sharing. “In an enterprise, corporate knowledge is in employees’ heads most of the time. We are providing tools that help to capture that knowledge and share it through the organisation,” said Ed Brill, business unit executive for Lotus and Domino sales at IBM.
