Online Payment Processors
2008-04-27 05:42:00 What online payment processor are you using? Let me guess. Since most of my readers are bloggers too and earning extra on paid blogging, the likely payment processor you use is Paypal. Right.I dabbled in online marketing before I stumbled into the joy of blogging. I was into almost all conceivable racket known to internet marketing. Sadly, all ventures failed. But that's another story.When I started in online-money-making schemes, the only payment processor available for me was Stormpay. Paypal only became accessible in the Philippines in the last year or so. Stormpay was credible until it had a run-in with a very popular paid surf site know as 12DP or 12 DaiyProfit. Stormpay refused to pay the members of 12 DP claiming that the surfsite is illegal. Illegal or not, I think Stormpay blew the large amount of money deposited by 12 DP. I lost $290.I also used E-gold. This payment processor values your money in gold. I really have no problem with this processor until September 2006. I w...

AMD's Phenom X4 9750 and 9850 processors
2008-03-31 07:15:00 Most of you are aware by now of the problems with AMD's quad-core Phenom processors. As we have chronicled closely, the chips were late to market and debuted with unexpectedly low clock frequencies. As a result, their performance was underwhelming compared to Intel's Core 2 offerings. Worse yet, shortly before its release, AMD discovered a bug in the Phenom that could cause a system hang in certain, very specific circumstances. This so called "TLB erratum" caused AMD to cease shipments of the Phenom's server-oriented counterpart, the Opteron 2300 series, but the firm went ahead with its plans to sell Phenoms in consumer PCs. For those systems, AMD offered a workaround in the form of a BIOS update, but the cure was arguably worse than the affliction, causing substantial performance hit in many applications.During our coverage of the unfolding TLB erratum story, AMD told us it planned to deliver a new revision of its quad-core silicon in "mid-to-late Q1" of this year. This revision...

Intel Showcases Dunnington, Nehalem and Larrabee Processors
2008-03-19 06:33:00 In an impromptu pre-IDF press briefing today, Intel disclosed a wealth of new information regarding its roadmap product efforts, upcoming multi-core processors and their associated platforms. The discussion, chaired by the Senior VP of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, Pat Gelsinger, even covered additional detail of the company's future play in the discrete GPU space, code-named Larrabee.Pat dove in quickly with what was probably Intel's most ambitious design effort yet, that will bear fruit some time in 2H '08, the new six-core infused Dunnington server/workstation processor.Some of the more interesting take-aways with Dunnignton were that Intel has re-tooled a shared L2/L3 cache architecture and that Dunnington will in fact be socket compatible with their current Caneland platform. However, we would expect that actual drop-in compatibility is guaranteed only by system board manufacturers with capable power circuits and up to date BIOS microcodes. Pat also stressed that Dun...

Assembly and Test Services Keep Outpacing the Semiconductor Market
2008-03-12 16:00:00 IDMs and OEMs focusing on design and distribution, less on manufacturing March 12, 2008 - The worldwide market for semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) grew for the sixth consecutive year in 2007, according to Gartner. Revenue was up 7.4 percent at $20.6 billion. For the sixth year in succession, the SATS market continued to outpace the overall semiconductor market by more than 50 percent (overall semiconductor revenue grew 2.9 percent in 2007). According to Gartner, a growing percentage of the total industry revenue is now attributed to packaging, assembly and testing. The outsourcing portion of this back-end manufacturing process has grown steadily since the recession of 2001.
