Six Core Xeon by Year End
The Japanese website PC Watch was invited to a technology presentation delivered by Intel about its Nehalem CPU. Beside the information already published and already commented regarding the Xeon Nehalem powering the new Mac Pro, Intel unveiled some additional details.
By the end of the year, the engraving process for the Xeon will move to 32 nm and it should decrease power consumption and/or allow the founder to offer model with higher clock-speed. It will also allow Intel to launch 6 core Xeon, currently known as Westmere. The cache will move from 8 GB today to 12 GB. The socket and motherboard should remain identical to the current one, and should give Apple the opportunity to upgrade its Mac Pro models before 2010.
Some information have bee released concerning the Xeon EX, expected to be launched for Q3 2010:
This processor will be Intel's flagship for this class of processor, with 8 physical cores, 15 logical cores, 24 MB of cache, 4 PQI links, 4 memory channel... It will however required a dramatically different architecture, and might open a new class of product, definitely targeting higher-end hardware than the current Xeon and its associated hardware models. towards a super workstation category? Will Apple follow with a super Mac Pro?

DroboPro: Drobo bigger, better, rack-mounted and faster
Filed under: Enterprise, Hardware, Peripherals, Mac OS X Server
That all changed this morning, with the announcement of DroboPro. Think of Drobo on steroids, with slots for eight SATA drives instead of four, two FireWire 800 ports, a USB 2.0 port, and an Ethernet port that is used for iSCSI connectivity, and throughput rates in the 75-80 megabyte/second range. Give this über-Drobo the same easy setup and management, quiet operation, and cool looks of the original device, and you have a winner.
I interviewed Tom Loverro, Director of Product Marketing at Data Robotics, last week about the company's new product.

iPhone: "TV d'Orange" Available on the AppStore
If this is an application mostly dedicated to French iPhone owners, it might interest many iPhone owners and maybe gives idea to other carrier. Orange, the original exclusive French carrier of the Apple iPhone in France launched today its TV application dedicated to the iPhone: "TV d'Orange" available for free from the AppStore.
If the application is free, its use will of course not be free. If you own an iPhone subscription plan, "TV d'Orange" will give you access to the following functions:
- Access to TV programs (not included in any subscription plan, so it is a pay-per-view system)
- After validating the option, it will cost you 0.50 € for 20 minutes)
- You will need to get the TV option included in your subscription plan (6 €/month) giving you access to 20 channels and 44 other in options (the iPhone Origami Star plan includes this option).
- If you want to get access to all channels, it will cost you 9 €/month.
Independently of the option, the data volume will be credited to your "fair use unlimited monthly data package". In other words, 1 hour of video representing around 100 MB it might quickly bring you in the red zone regarding data access consumption in case of regular usage of the TV option.
The "TV d'Orange" was presented couple of weeks ago in a video at the time it was only a rumored project:
