Researchers claim Intel has a serious chip bug

Intel chip bug? Or simply much more than you need to know? Researchers claim Intel has a serious chip bug. But that all depends. Security experts who are into the arcana of chip security may find “CPU cache poisoning” riveting and serious stuff. Others, however, may simply scratch their heads and move on.

And what systems are potentially vulnerable? Though both Intel and Rutkowska say the “attack” presented in the paper has been fixed on some systems, Rutkowska goes on to say: “We have however found out that even the relatively new boards, e.g. Intel DQ35 are still vulnerable (the very recent Intel DQ45 doesn't seem to be vulnerable though). The exploit attached is for DQ35 board–the offsets would have to be changed to work on other boards (please do not ask how to do this),” she writes. (Here is a list of Intel motherboards she refers to.)

Intel postpones the launch of new Menlow Atom CPUs to mid-April

Intel has postponed the launch of its Atom Z550 and Z515 CPUs for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) to mid-April, according to sources at MID makers. The Atom Z550 and Z515 CPUs will feature core frequencies at 1.2GHz and 2GHz, respectively, with an average power consumption of 0.22W and a TDP of 2.4W.

The Atom Z550 will support Intel's US15W chipset, while the Atom Z515 will have a choice of either US15W or low-power UL11L chipsets. The Atom Z515 also features Intel new Burst Performance Technology (BPT), which automatically adjusts core frequency based on performance needs.

ARM’s Mali GPU Could Bring 1080p To Phones

March 23 News from Around the Web

Palit GeForce GTX 260 Sonic 216SP @ Benchmark Reviews and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

Because of the various factors working against desktop graphics, I'd say that now is the time for manufacturers to stop building a bigger mousetrap, and instead build it better. That's what Palit does, and their approach to discreet graphics products usually follows the rule of function before fashion. In this case, it's function and realistic performance needs before fashion and marketing hype. Sure, NVIDIA would lover for you to believe that SLI is necessary to play the newest video games, but oddly enough the nearly all new games still work fairly well with a single three-generation old video card. So where's the sweet spot? Benchmark Reviews tests the Palit GeForce GTX 260 Sonic 216SP model NE3X262SFT394-PM8026 video card to see just how much money you need to spend to enjoy fast frame rates at high resolution.

Robotic Fish Being Built to Detect Pollution

A team of U.K. researchers have developed robotic fish that they plan to use to detect pollution. The researches plan a trial of five robotic fish in the northern Spanish port of Gijon. If successful, they hope to use the fish in waterways worldwide. Unlike earlier models, which had to be remotely-controlled, these new carp-shaped robots are autonomous. They cost $29,000 each, and are equipped with sensors to detect potentially hazardous pollutants. Data will be transmitted back to the shore using wi-fi. Before
