IBM has unveiled its new POWER6 microprocessor, which it claims is the world’s fastest chip, boasting twice the clock speed of the previous generation while consuming roughly the same amount of power. Making the announcement on May 21, Big Blue also revealed a new computer server that takes advantage of the chip’s technical and energy conservation prowess.
This means if you use the applicataions which use the current speed, then you can reduce the power consumption to half.
The new product is the first to fit in with IBM’s announcement last week that it will redirect $1 billion per year across its businesses to increase energy efficiency in information technology under a program called “Project Big Green.” The plan includes new products and services to reduce corporate data center energy consumption.
The microSD card took another leap forward this week as electronics giant Samsung announced it had developed an 8-GB version, the largest capacity in that format so far. The increased capacity points to several possible developments in the world of media phones.

This new card, the size of a fingernail, can carry up to 2,000 MP3 music files, 4,000 digital photos, or approximately five DVD-quality movies. The new cards will have a read speed of 16 MB/sec and a write speed of 6 MB/sec.
