INTRODUCED A NEW SERIES FOCAL CHORUS 700 SOLUTIONS

Introduced a new series FOCAL CHORUS 700 SOLUTIONS

A new series of columns Chorus 700 from the company Focal was first introduced at the recent exhibition CES-2013. Managing director Gerard Chretien described the new design series as `design for the market after the crisis#39;. According to him, the previous series had a more impressive appearance as `was designed for consumers looking for a bright product #39;, but now the trend of the market are such that` the user is interested in a classic design - a design that will remain relevant for years#39;.

Nevertheless, it is clear that the guidance cosmetic gloss can not be the main argument for the release of a separate series, especially for a company that continues to evolve and grow, producing new column, for example, the well-known series of Utopia.

Chorus 700 equipped with the bass and midrange speakers Polyglass, as well as Tweeter AlMg HF, due to the characteristics of which the vocals are more expressive.

Engineering and used with this series of technologies can say with confidence that its performance is consistent with the price range, but the main challenge for the design team was to build the new columns #39;Tones#39; - the ultimate crossover design optimizes the overall performance of each speaker, and that#39;s what makes a good column column excellent.

Chorus Series 700 will be sold in a price range from $ 495 for the 705 th shelving model to $ 1,695 for the 726 th floor model that is designed for large rooms or can serve as a complement to a home theater system.

QUALCOMM DOES SINGLE-CHIP SERVER PLATFORM

QUALCOMM DOES single-chip server platform

The company Qualcomm, which calls itself #39;the world leader in 3G mobile technology and the next generation#39;, is developing a single-chip system for servers on the architecture of ARM. This is evidenced by announcements about finding appropriate experts.

As stated in the description of one of the vacant positions, a specialist who will take it, will have to deal with #39;prototypes of new Qualcomm SoC based ARMv8 for servers that are optimized for power consumption#39;.

More specifically, the main responsibilities of `development engineer built-in power management software, server` includes #39;production specifications, development, porting, integration and testing of software and firmware for power management server platform#39;.

Recall, ARMv8 - the first 64-bit architecture of the ARM. It was introduced in October 2011. Then the company AppliedMicro demonstrated in the world#39;s first processor to 64-bit kernel ARMv8. `` One-server was implemented by specialists AppliedMicro means Programmable Gate Array Xilinx Virtex-6.

In addition to the processor core ARM-64, it was composed of high-performance tools to input, memory subsystem, and other units.

When Qualcomm will introduce its server platform architecture for ARM - is still unknown

FUJITSU AND PANASONIC WANT TO COMBINE CHIP MANUFACTURING

FUJITSU And PANASONIC want to combine chip manufacturing

According to the source, referring to the message the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation NHK, the Fujitsu and Panasonic are completing negotiations to merge the activities engaged in production of semiconductor chips.

As stated, the joint venture will begin operations in March 2014. Part of the funding will come from a source that is supported by the government. Probably, it is a fund Innovation Network Corp. of Japan (INCJ), in the past year to take part in the rescue of another Japanese manufacturer of semiconductor products - Renesas Electronics.

In addition, the Fujitsu and Panasonic are trying to enlist the support of the credit of the bank Development Bank of Japan.

According to NHK, a joint venture of Fujitsu and Panasonic will order the production of chips at TSMC. It was assumed that the JV will become and the company Renesas, which sold one of his TSMC factories, but it is believed that, having received the funds needed to overcome the crisis, she refused to take further part in the negotiations.

Fujitsu has denied information about a possible merger. More precisely, the Japanese manufacturer recalls that the official announcement of the merger was not, as there was no statements to that effect by the management company. Moreover, the company#39;s website published a special report, which states that #39;a decision on this matter is still pending#39;.

SAMSUNG AND GLOBALFOUNDRIES PLANS TO LAUNCH 14NANOMETROVYH CHIPS TO THE END OF THE YEAR

SAMSUNG AND GLOBALFOUNDRIES plans to start producing 14-nanometer chips to THE END OF THE YEAR

According to sources, the company Globalfoundries and Samsung followed to plan, according to which, before the end of this year, both manufacturers expect to release its first 14-nanometer chips, ahead in the development of technology standards company TSMC.

To speed up the development of 14-nanometer technology, the alliance members Common Platform - IBM, Globalfoundries and Samsung - have agreed that the progress achieved on the test production of IBM in Albany, will be immediately transferred to production partners.

Company Samsung, speaking contract manufacturer of semiconductor products, is going to release a test sample 14-nanometer products for its customers in April and September.
Meanwhile, IBM has prepared a place for the installation of lithographic equipment operating in the hard ultraviolet (EUV). By using EUV-lithography related prospects of finer process technologies.

The members of the Common Platform believe that the technology will be used for EUV technology standards 7 nm or less. They recognize that in this way there is a lot of difficulties, but they believe that the industry has no alternatives.
In particular, the developers have managed to increase the EUV laser power up to 30 watts, but for practical use must reach a level of 250 watts. There are other problems with the photoresist mask with defects, the process of technical quality control.

Some stages of use of 14 nm and 10 nm can be used for transition to the norms of 7 nm, for example, improvements in the process of formation of double structures. They are expected to reduce the need for a triple and quadruple formation.
It is believed that the development of EUV will pave the way for the transition to the use of 450-mm wafers, as with existing technology immersion lithography harder to recoup the costs associated with the use of larger diameter wafers (recall now the industry is using a plate diameter of 300 mm or less). According to IBM, the transition to 450-mm plates will be held around the year 2020.
