Ok, so today I heard a podcast talking about upcoming technology and I got pretty geeked out. They were talking about sanforce controllers on the new 6Gb for solid state drives.. that there was one with read speeds of 520 MB a sec. and the piece that I got the most excited about was the talk about the new AMD processor and chipset The thing about it that got to me was the complete redesign on the AMD side of it.. I mean the creation of an 8 core processor with hyper threading running at like 4GHz and with 8MB L2 and L3 cache.. I just built a new desktop last fall with an AMD 6 core processor with a solid state drive, but with this new info I want to build another one with the new bulldozer. Especially if I can build the desktop with sata 6G and USB 3.0.. who knows by then i might even be able to find a motherboard with lightpeak on it.. I’m not sure what i’d do with all that speed and power but as a web developer i love the possibility of trying to find ways to peg out that kind of performance. I also heard about a Google Chrome OS laptop.. that idea definitely intrigues me keeping all my system resources for myself and storing all my apps and files on the cloud.. its an interesting time, and I can’t wait to see what they will dream up next. For those that are interested I got that information from the TWIT network a program called “This Week in Computer Hardware” and the other one is “PC Perspective” both are great resources for anyone wanting to get into building and upgrading PCs, they have great reviews and are a wonderful source of info and tips.
