The function of the launch will be made more users use computers for online trading, not flocked to the physical retailers.

The launch of the new function with the advantage of two aspects: one is the user gently waved credit card or mobile phone can easily finish buy; 2 it is Intel in the hardware adds additional security technology, online transaction is more security.

The new director pay mastercard Ed–not (Ed McLaughlin) said: “the new function in increasing safety while trading more simple.”

Intel and mastercard actively expand in near field communication technology (NFC), this technology allows two money equipment through the contact way of payment transactions completed. Visa, mastercard credit card companies such as have introduced the built-in NFC chip credit card, including samsung Nexus S, new blackberry, more than the phone began integrated NFC chip.

In order to attract more merchants options end systems use NFC technology, Intel and mastercard cooperation will this function brought to the Ultrabook notebook. Users don’t need on the screen enter credit card account, just in front Ultrabook waving a cell phone or credit card can be completed a deal. Colin not said: “the new function let pay more fluent. Bill experience”

Intel and signed a cooperation agreement mastercard for many years, IntelPC customer service general manager George sanger’s more (George Thangadurai) says, new function will be extended to other based on Intel chip computer. Ultrabook because of higher profits, so the laptop will be the first to get the function.

Because of the Ultrabook use Intel’s identity protection technology, so pay deal safer. Intel identity protection technology for equipment provide specific the authentication, have the software and hardware double protection, Intel has in this summer will be the technology used for the selected in the PC. Sanger’s more said: “the plan pay more attention to safety, to provide seamless protection.”

According to the American technology website BGR reports, American consumer electronics shopping website Retrevo. Com published a new survey results show that, compared with the apple iPad, consumers purchasing more interested in the amazon Kindle Fire. The web site so expected, Kindle Fire iPad will be the first real competition.

Retrevo October this year, more than 1000 consumers in the survey, 12% of respondents said they plan to buy this Christmas amazon Kindle Fire, 10% of the respondents said they will buy before the Christmas holidays in the iPad. Already has a tablet PC respondents, 27% said will upgrade to Kindle Fire, 20% said it will buy iPad.

When asked to consider is the Kindle Fire buy $199, or $499 for the apple iPad 2, 44% of respondents said they would buy Kindle Fire, only 12% of respondents said it would not buy. Remaining 44%, says that because of the Kindle Fire know enough, so I can’t make a decision.

The Retrevo Andrew, estrada (Andrew Eisner) in the company official blog wrote: “although the operating system and Android platform ‘tablet PC’ lack of application, make Android tablet computer in a bad situation, iPad 2 is beginning to show charm, is attractive to Kindle Fire the $199 price on stage.” Sheriff, and points out that the battery life, performance, image quality index will decide the Kindle Fire future trends.

Market research institutions ChangeWave recently implementing the results of a study, Kindle Fire YuDingLiang has more than the iPad 1. However, apple does not seem to fear the amazon tablet computer challenge. According to the report, apple CEO Tim Cook (Tim Cook) think, Kindle Fire will heighten Android platform fragmentation, this trend will consumers to the iPad camps.

Kindle Fire on November 15, will be released, and analysts expect the fourth quarter of this tablet computer shipments will reach 5 million units at most.

According to foreign media reports, and IBM have announced, IBM’s zEnterprise system users can and will Microsoft Windows applications, large host and distributed computer will be hoping to realize the Internet, and the whole compatible plan will from December 16 to start the day.

According to the report, an IBM spokesman said, for the first time the large host and distributed computer connected together design, is to reduce the cost and large company of the complexity of the data center, and improve the crossing mainframes and distributed environment workload management.

The Dutch European air traffic management organization of technology Huub Meertens said: IBM’s this one design, will bring us more flexibility and expansibility. IBM’s zEnterprise system and Intel servers in the allocation of integration with IT infrastructure is to realize the modernization of the best plan.

It is reported, IBM’s this new technology which saves enterprise of the big customer’s cost of management. Users can also run zEnterprise system on IBM AIX, x86 Linux and Microsoft Windows.

IBM, at present the plan provides a more integration of multiple platform system, the best combined with IBM server technology.

Thursday ARM revealed a new GPU built for high performance devices like superphones, tablets and smart-TVs. Called the ARM Mali-T658, this latest edition to the Midgard architecture-based GPU family promises to deliver up to ten times the graphics performance of the Mali-400 MP GPU which is found in a wide range of today’s mainstream consumer products. It also promises four times the GPU Compute performance of the Mali-T604 GPU.

“Next generation consumer devices based on the Mali-T658 GPU will address the growing user expectation for slick user interfaces and desktop-class graphics,” said Pete Hutton, general manager, Media Processing Division, ARM. “Intuitive user interfaces will mean that consumers can access the full functionality of their connected devices, for richer user experiences. This includes HD gaming and new compute-intensive applications, such as augmented reality.”

Did you catch that key description desktop-class graphics? According to ARM, the GPU supports a wide range of graphics and compute APIs including Microsoft DirectX 11, Khronos OpenGL ES, OpenVG, Khronos OpenCL, Google Renderscript and Microsoft DirectCompute. That’s right: a “superphone” GPU capable of rendering DirectX 11 graphics!

Thursday in a press release ARM said the new GPU has been designed to work with the Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A15 processors either in standalone modes, or when they’re combined in big.LITTLE processing mode.

“The autonomous nature of the Mali Job Manager, and its ability to carry on graphics processing with a reduced load on the CPU, means it is very well suited to work alongside a big.LITTLE CPU system,” the company said. “By using the right processor for the right task the Mali-T658 is able to handle GPU compute tasks in parallel with the CPU handling the always-on always-connected tasks. The ability of the Mali-T658 GPU to scale up to eight cores provides unprecedented energy-efficiency, flexibility and scalability to match the CPU and GPU performance points through one coherent interface.”

The latest news from the foreign media display, Intel has now to its mobile processor product 2012 line of the planning, before and application in smart phones and tablet computer products, the 32 nm manufacturing process Medfield Atom processor will be available only to intelligent phone product, for the tablet computer product Intel will launch new exclusive chip products.

The news says, Intel hopes to high performance and outstanding has introduced the power consumption of the control chip product to and ARM in the tablet computer doing market, but the current for Intel for tablet computer product research and development of the launch of the mobile chip code as well as detailed information is still unable to learn that hardware. Technical personnel said, compared with the advantage of the ARM processor is fairly well thermal design of power consumption, and Intel Atom processor in the manufacturing process more advanced and future Intel will be updated every year its Atom processor.

Intel said, the future of the smartphone and tablet computer Intel chip thermal design of power consumption will be low to 1 W, according to order Intel future will launch the 32 nm manufacturing process Saltwell mobile chip, 22 nm manufacturing process Silvermont mobile chip, 14 nano manufacturing processes Airmont, along with the nano manufacturing process of ascension, the personage inside course of study says Intel at present in the mobile market position will be promoted step by step even in direct ARM, is expected to go.
