Intel unveils new Classmate PC

SHINING IT'S LIGHT on the world of education, Intel has launched a new convertible classmate PC and an initiative dubbed the 'Intel Learning Series' (ILS), with the lofty goal of revolutionising the way education is delivered across the globe.

Made up of a plethora of PC manufacturers, software coders and hardware developers, Chipzilla hopes that ILS will build sufficient tech around its Classmate hardware to generate sales for a long time to come.

As for the new Classmate itself, it's gone all flexible, able to turn itself from clamshell to a tablet mode with a clever 180-degree swivel design. The little lappie also packs a touch screen, rotational camera, water-resistant keyboard and a "palm rejection" feature, designed to let kids write more naturally by resting their palm on the touch screen. It is also handily 'backpack friendly' and apparently able to withstand bumps, knocks and accidental drops on the floor.



Intel said the Classmate had been be preloaded with student-friendly software, kindly supplied by the members of ILS, including Smart, Easybits, Canonical, Inspiration Software, Earthwalk, Pasco, Algoryx and Sanako. We can only assume they're doing it all for the kids, not for the marketing value, of course.



Chipzilla Veep for EMEA and deputy general manager for the region, Gordon Graylish, noted "There are 1.3 billion school-age children around the world, and of those, only five per cent have access to a PC or to the Internet. The IT industry has a huge opportunity to contribute to how technology can improve students' learning and students' lives."

Not to mention contributing to Intel's profits.

Intel reckons over 100 software and hardware vendors, content providers, educational services providers and local OEMs have been slaving away to develop a complete infrastructure to support the Atom-powered classmate PCs, which comes in both Windows and Open Source flavours.



But the appearance of a new convertible model Classmate doesn't mean the disappearance of the clamshell-only type model currently being distributed by the Portuguese government's Magalhães (Magellan) Initiative.



The initiative provides PCs to all elementary school children via their local computer manufacturer and telecom service providers and Intel has announced an additional partnership with Portuguese OEM, JP Sá Couto, and a local design company, CEIIA, to develop a new design of the Magalhães PC soon. This new design should include a larger screen, more memory for local content and additional connectivity options such as 3G and WiMAX.

In the UK, PC manufacturer CMS is now offering the new convertible classmate PC design. µ

they'll break
those "innovative" convertible clamshell to tablet hinges have a long history of breaking.

I used to work for a computer repair shop at FSU, the college of medicine students can't stop breaking the things, hinge replacements all the time.

Im sure there will be no problems with elementry school kids using them.

Linux Touch Screen
I am guessing Canonical supplies Ubuntu for the OS. So it is a Linux touch screen. Very nice.

However the pics of the machine at the top of the story have a modest plastic border around a modest size screen. In the first pic with a child using the machine it has a monstrous border and very small screen.

Which is the production model?

Production Models
If you look at the Intel Classmate PC info you find that there are 2 clamshell models and a Convertible model. Only the convertible has a touch screen.

It looks like all the above pics are production models...just different models.

Intel integrates memory controller ...

Everyone has known for about a year that the Core i7 processor (codenamed Nehalem) would have an integrated memory controller (IMC). For the little story, AMD did this years ago. But it's surprising to read that this is an "admission" from Intel that AMD "nailed" a key feature years before. While the drama is interesting, it is a little exaggerated, in my opinion. Ever since AMD introduced an IMC in its processors, people have asked Intel when they would follow. I don't remember Intel rejecting the idea, and their answer was more along the lines of: "when it makes sense for us". Interestingly enough, Intel was able to beat AMD without the IMC, it's not like they are the underdog today. IMC is nice, but it's not a silver bullet (ask AMD): improvements have been made on the whole architecture.

Intel DX58SO

Motherboards haven't seen a lot of change in the past two years, so we guess it was due time for Intel to shake things up a bit with the DX58SO. We will discuss the significant layout changes to this motherboard just a little later in this review. The biggest difference with this X58-Express product is that it updates the socket from LGA775 to LGA1366 in order to support the Intel Core-i7 series of processors. Additionally, the Dual-Channel DDR support that reigned supreme since the Pentium 4 days has also been updated to include Triple-Channel DDR3.

Intel may have introduced DDR3 support on their mainboards almost two years ago, but high costs paired with low adoption by manufacturers led to a reprieve for DDR2. That all ends now, as X58 is built for DDR3 only and Intel has no plans to allow DDR2 back into the game. This might seem like a move which slams the door in the face of mainstream enthusiasts wanting more value from their hardware, but the truth is that P45 and X48 chipsets will continue in production for many more months to come. Moving to triple-channel DDR3 also adds momentum for 64-bit computing, but also optimizes current 32-bit systems. Windows XP for example, offers a 4GB maximum memory mapping space on the 32-bit variety of the O/S.



Our first look at the layout of the Intel DX58SO "Smackover" motherboard shows a nice looking black PCB which returns to 8 layers allowing for better rigidity of the board. A more detailed visual scan shows that Intel decided to make a few changes in the previous status quo. The biggest change, and probably the most recognizable is the location of the memory slots which were moved to the area where the processor socket had resided for many years. Intel explains their rationale for this change as a needed improvement in cooling the memory by subjecting it to better airflow.



While on the topic memory Intel opted to only include four memory slots in the DX58SO. In these boards the full memory performance potential is only achieved with the primary three slots filled. The forth slot allows you to add an additional 2GB of DRAM, but that module is only accessed at single-channel performance rate, decreasing performance of that module by 66.66%. Other motherboards such as the ASUS P6T Deluxe provide a full six memory slots that allow for a maximum capacity of 12 GB of DDR3 at full performance potential. With this board being an excellent candidate for a workstation, we certainly can't quite grasp the logic in this configuration.



Another layout issue that bothered us tremendously was the need of having to utilize either one of your SATA power connectors or a 4-pin Molex connector to provide "auxiliary power" to the board. The locations of the connectors are denoted by the red arrows in the image above. Intel currently is the only X58 based motherboard manufacturer that we are aware of that requires this additional power connection. We certainly can't understand why with both the 24-pin main power cable and the 12 Volt 8-pin power adapter connected why there is a need for additional "auxiliary power".



Alas, finally a layout change that makes sense! Looking a the rear I/O panel you can readily see that the parallel port, the 9-pin serial port(s), and both the PS2 mouse and keyboard connectors are missing. We say bravo to Intel for finally removing these useless connections from the rear I/O panel. We feel the vast majority of enthusiasts have been waiting for this change to take place for some time. While not shown in the image we also are ecstatic that Intel chose to also remove the floppy drive connector

The Intel Atom processor

The Intel Atom processor will be the name for a new family of low-power processors designed specifically for mobile Internet devices (MIDs).



The Intel Atom processor is based on an entirely new microarchitecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo instruction set compatibility consumers are accustomed to when using a standard PC and the Internet. The design also includes support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness.

"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors," said Intel Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Sean Maloney. "This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."



With personal computing increasingly going mobile and the computer industry rapidly developing new classes of products to connect the next billion people to the Internet, the Intel Atom processor offers customers the unique ability to innovate around the new low-power design. In addition to the MID opportunity, Intel believes the demand for a new category of low-cost, Internet-centric mobile computing devices dubbed "netbooks" and basic Internet-centric desktop PCs dubbed "nettops," will grow substantially over the next several years.

Intel D925XECV2 (Intel 925XE)

Unmistakable: the huge, glued down, passive Northbridge cooler and the black color scheme are characteristic of Intel motherboards.
Board revision: 2.03


BIOS version: 0404

Intel wields a considerable amount of influence in the motherboard business. Over the course of the last few years, its product assortment has steadily grown, and Intel now offers 16 boards for the 900 series chipsets alone. For the coming 945/955 platform (Lakeport/Glenwood), another 13 boards are on the roadmap. In the future, Intel intends to use its five categories for better classification: the Extreme, Media, Executive, Classic, and Essential series. Some boards fall into more than one category.

The board on the test bed this time is called Culver City 2, and has ample features, though it doesn't quite live up to the bonanza offered by Asus and Gigabyte's boards. Three FireWire ports are available, along with four SATA connections and a floppy and UltraATA/100 connection for each of the chipsets. The sound system is HD Audio-compliant. Intel includes a small front module for installing in a 3.5" drive bay. A FireWire connection, two USB 2.0 ports and audio ports can be used here on the front of the computer. Both a white and a black panel are provided.

Intel only cools its chipset components passively. Two fan connections with four pins, and a connector with three pins, allow two case fans to be hooked up. If you are wondering about the slot arrangement, you should know that Intel uses the same layout as for a MicroATX motherboard, leaving out only the two left PCI slots. That is also why so much of the board's surface goes unused. With desktop motherboards, Intel still has not integrated a pair of Gigabit network ports, sticking with a Marvell chip connected via PCI Express.

To remain competitive, Intel can't help but include overclocking functions too. However, one particular feature they certainly don't offer is unlocking the x14 multiplier via the performance requirement bit. After all, it's better for them if customers invest more money for a faster processor!

Under testing, the board occasionally got hung up on post code error 80. We got around the problem by turning the system off and then back on again. Using a replacement board didn't resolve the error either. We surmise that this could be caused by the current BIOS version with support for the Pentium 4 600 series .

Intel's second-generation Classmate

The second-generation Classmate will be sold directly to the public. While Intel created the reference design (right), OEMs in various regions will be responsible for manufacturing and sales. First to announce is Portland-based Computer Technology Link (CTL), which says it will sell the Classmate as the 2Go PC (seen above) for prices ranging from $300 to $500.

The Classmate now includes new features intended to help it compete with other mini-laptops, such as Asus's hot-selling Eee PC. While Intel has retained the three-pound device's kid-friendly rounded corners, it switched from the original Classmate's round touchpad to a conventional-looking square design. The Classmate also now includes a right-shift key, which was previously missing.

Technical upgrades include a nine-inch screen, offering the same 800 x 480 resolution as the previous seven-inch panel. The new Classmate also includes a VGA-resolution webcam and an available six-cell battery, according to the company.

Notably, Intel has moved away from flash storage to a 1.8-inch (sub laptop-sized) hard drive. With a suitable operating system installation, the Classmate could still be configured as a solid-state device, since it includes a bootable SD slot.

Announcing the Classmate at its Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Shanghai, China, Intel said future iterations of the product will use its Centrino Atom chipset. However, today's second-generation device uses a 900MHz Celeron ULV processor and an Intel 915GMS chipset. A single DIMM socket comes with 512MB of RAM installed, but supports up to 1GB of 400/533MHz DDR2 RAM.

The Classmate includes 802.11b/g wireless networking, capable of working in a mesh configuration that allows multiple devices to share a single Internet connection. It also has a port for a wired 10/100 Ethernet connection.

Other interfaces, pictured below, include microphone in, headphone out, and dual USB ports. Finally, the Classmate also offers stereo speakers. Unlike "grownup" laptops, however, the device does not include a VGA output.

Intel updates junior laptop

Intel has unveiled a new version of its Classmate mini-laptop reference design. Now targeting consumers and schoolchildren both, and running Linux or Windows XP, the device has a 30GB hard drive, a revised touchpad and keyboard, webcam, and a nine-inch screen.

digg this story

The original Classmate debuted in March 2007 as part of Intel's "World Ahead" program aimed at schoolchildren in emerging markets. Available with a 1GB SSD (solid-state drive) packing Linux or a 2GB SSD packing Windows XP, the Classmate was widely viewed as Intel's response to the Linux- and AMD-based OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) device.

MSI 925XE Neo

Intel is absolutely ready for the 925XE launch. The 925XCV ran properly and is decently-equipped, but the Asus P5AD2-E easily outperformed it.

The fourth board we received in advance of Intel's chipset launch is MSI's 925XE Neo (MS-7053). This baby ran smoothly, but needs some more fine-tuning in order to reach the performance level that Asus has achieved.

Intel's WiMax Chipsets to Support Higher Frequencies in 2009

The WiMax Forum has formally approved three licensed spectrum profiles for WiMax, 2.5 GHz, 2.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz. Intel’s primary focus hitherto has been on the 2.5 GHz spectrum profile as it is used in the U.S – Clearwire will roll out its WiMax service in three U.S cities later this year. The chip maker has announced that its WiMax chipset will support frequencies beyond 2.5 GHz in 2009.

Although it didn’t specify the exact spectrum profiles it plans to support, it is safe to assume that the remaining two profiles approved by the WiMax forum will be on the list. As WiMax networks in various countries around the world operate on either 2.5 GHz or 3.5 GHz, it is very obvious that Intel will soon support them. But Intel stopped short of announcing any release dates.

Intel unveils super-packed 32nm processors, invests $7 bil to make them in the US

Intel is moving beyond the 45nm chip into denser territory. The company gave a first-ever demo of a 32nm Westmere chip — though no performance benchmarks are available at this time — and rumor has it that the packed processors could make their way into laptops as early as this year. We're inclined to believe that rumor as Intel just sank $7 billion dollars into American factories in Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon, and Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini even got a call from President Obama to commend him.

From Computer World:

Otellini said Obama called him last night to congratulate him on company's decision. The president "reminded me that he sees the Intel logo every morning when he opens up his laptop; I was pleased to hear that," he noted.
Intel's move to produce the chips in the US as opposed to overseas will come as a boon to American labor, and its $7 billion is an investment in American infrastructure. The company could have scored incentives by going with foreign plants already geared to produce 32nm chips, which will most likely replace 45nm processors as the most profitable chip configuration to manufacture very soon.

And will those chips require a liquid-nitrogen cooling system mounted on the motherboard? Or maybe they can design a motherboard around a 12-inch fan.

By Nicholasjh at 6:30 PM ON 02/11/09

I'm sure they don't produce too much heat. Do you think Intel is run by fools?

By mike at 8:12 PM ON 02/11/09

WOW this is really cool on the tech side of things but the best statement i read was: "Intel's move to produce the chips in the US as opposed to overseas will come as a boon to American labor, and its $7 billion is an investment in American infrastructure. The company could have scored incentives by going with foreign plants already geared to produce 32nm chips,...."

GOOD JOB INTEL...seriously this is the kind of patriotism we need from companies in the USA esp with the current state things are in. ive always used intel only and will continue to do so

By Dalhimar at 7:35 PM ON 02/23/09

@iCurmugeon : Because the chips have a much smaller architecture they will be able to transfer the heat with greater ease, Not to mention that with the new 32nm chips Intel has been using a new material to replace silicon (as far as i know they stuck with their announcement for Hafnium based processors) Which reduced the leakage of electrons in the system by a significant amount, which lead to in itself not only a smaller structure for the transistors, but naturally lower amount of heat produced.

@Mike : I agree, Intel is one of the first companies to realize that outsourcing has actually hurt our economy in the long run and actually do something to bring production back to the US people.

In general these chips will not only be able to run at a higher clock frequency (3+ghz average estimate), they will move from dual core and quads, to six and possibly 8 on a standard processor size. With this amount of processing power, computers will leap ahead. And the fact of it is that Intel had announced these amazingly small chips about two years ago. Two Years. The only reason they have not been in production is they wanted to refine the tech so they could get a larger profit off the current 45nm tech.

By Smarticus at 12:22 PM ON 03/18/09

I have been using AMD chips for years because I do not want to pay intel's price. That has just changed. Thanks intel for keeping people like me afloat.


By raven3quill at 6:52 PM ON 03/19/09

For the AMD fanboys: At Luther Forest in upstate New York, AMD has already committed to build a new fab that will provide ~1,500 direct and ~5,000 indirect jobs. It's supposed to be up and running around 2012. This will be it's first outside of Germany, I believe.

INTRODUCTION

For a long time, it looked like NVIDIA was only going to have AMD chipsets, but last November, NVIDIA and Intel announced a partnership that enabled NVIDIA to release a motherboard chipset that supports Intel processors. For Intel fans wanting the great performance of nForce, the wait is now over. So what is the name of this new chipset? It is the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition.



"Why not call it nForce5?" you ask. Well, NVIDIA feels that this set of platform processors (or chipset) are not different enough from the AMD version to warrant a new name. Once you start looking at the details, it's easy to understand why NVIDIA made this decision. There are only several major differences in the AMD and Intel nForce4 platforms. One of these differences is the use of two chips, an MCP and an SPP (much like nForce2 and synonymous with a traditional northbridge and southbridge), for the Intel Edition instead of a single chip as seen on the nForce3 and nForce4 AMD boards. Unlike AMD Athlon 64 processors, Intel's latest LGA775 Prescott processors do not feature an integrated memory controller. Hence, the need for a second platform processor, the SPP, with a memory controller.



Like the Intel 925XE chipset, the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition will support a 1066MHz front side bus (FSB) and dual channel DDR2. As you would expect, the socket is Intel's latest, the LGA775. Additionally, the board supports NVIDIA's RAID and ActiveArmor firewall. One of the biggest impacts of this announcement and launch is the availability of SLI to Intel users. Now, AMD and Intel fans can enjoy the highest gaming performance available.



A couple of other nForce improvements that NVIDIA is promoting with this launch are MediaShield and the new version of nTune. MediaShield basically refers to NVIDIA's RAID storage solutions and its ease of use. Version 2.5 of nTune is aimed at making consumers' lives a little easier by automating some system tweaking. I'll go into more detail on all of this stuff in the following pages so be sure to read on to learn more about nForce4 SLI Intel Edition.

Intel Rolls Out Atom Processors at IDF Shanghai

Intel is rolling out five new Atom microprocessors and Intel Centrino Atom processor chips designed for portable gadgets that access the Internet and for other uses. The low-power, tiny Atom chips will come in speeds of up to 1.86GHz and Intel says that speed, will support Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology while selected SKUs will support Intel Hyper-Threading technology, make it the fastest processor that consumes 3 watts has a thermal design power range of 0.65 to 2.4 watts (versus 35 watts for today's typical laptop), average power range of 160-220 milliwatts (mW) and idle power range of 80-100mW. The technology package includes the Intel Atom processor (formerly codenamed "Silverthorne") plus a single-chip with integrated graphics called the Intel System Controller Hub that enables PC-like capabilities and long battery life in smaller devices that can fit in your pocket. The Intel System Controller Hub is an integrated low-power solution that features advanced low-power 3-D graphics features, hardware accelerated 720p and 1080i HD video decode capabilities, Intel High Definition Audio, and a combination of PC and handheld I/O capabilities such as PCI Express, USB Host and Client, and SDIO. Intel Centrino Atom processor technology also enables manufacturers to integrate a range of wireless connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, WiMAX and cellular data.Intel is introducing five Intel Atom processors and three versions of its controller hub:Z540 1.83GHz 2.4W Z530 1.6GHz 2W Z520 1.33GHz 2W Z510 1.1GHz 2W Z500 800MHz 0.6~0.7W These low-power levels are achieved as a result of several processor design power management techniques such as Intel Deep Power Down Technology (C6), CMOS mode, and Split I/O power supply. Intel made the announcements at its Intel Developer Forum conference on Wednesday in Shanghai. "Global Internet growth continues unabated," said Anand Chandrasekher, who runs Intel's Ultra Mobility Group. "The best Internet experience is still on the PC, but users want to carry that experience with them."
Chandrasekher said major device makers are already planning to adopt Atom, with more than 20 manufacturers coming out with products using the processor. As far as MIDs, those will start shipping in May, he said. He said Intel expects about 30 percent of those MIDs to have both WiFi -- short range high-speed wireless Internet access -- and WiMax -- longer-range high-speed access designed into them. MID device makers include Asus, Fujitsu, Lenovo, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Toshiba, among others, and prices will probably average about $500, with some priced higher than that or lower, depending on the functions. The small size of the Atom processor -- the die of the chip is less than 25 square millimeters, or about a 10th of the low- cost Celeron desktop and notebook PC chip -- also lets Intel target the embedded market.Intel gets nearly 2,700 Atom processors from a single inner-plate-size silicon wafer, according to Intel representatives.Gelsinger: Milliwatts to PetaflopsDuring his keynote, Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, said Intel Architecture (IA) processors now span MIDs to High- Performance Servers (HPC). Gelsinger provided some technical details of Intel's next-generation processor family, codenamed "Nehalem," which will begin production in the fourth quarter. Nehalem will first be seen in high-end desktop processors and dual processor server systems, and expand to other market segments in 2009. Nehalem is designed to scale from two to eight cores. Gelsinger also disclosed Intel's Advanced Vector Extension new instructions that are planned for a family of processors due after Nehalem, codenamed "Sandy Bridge" in 2010. Gelsinger concluded his keynote talking about Intel's Visual Computing vision and need for more compute performance, higher memory and I/O bandwidth, improved graphics, better software tools and libraries in order to deliver photo-realistic 3-D rendering, high-definition video and audio. One critical element will be the "Larrabee" Architecture, which will feature many Intel architecture cores, a new cache architecture and new vector processing instruction set. Perlmutter: Personalized Mobility On The WayAlso at IDF, Dadi Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobility Group, discussed the wave of personalization on tap that takes advantage of new notebook and netbook products coming to market later this year. Intel will deliver its next-generation "Montevina" Intel Centrino 2 processor technology for notebooks in June providing faster performance and longer battery life. Centrino 2 will be the first platform from Intel to offer an integrated Wi-Fi and WiMAX wireless access option that is expected to be available in certain notebooks in the second half of the year. Other options for Centrino 2 include the processor and other components that are about 40 percent smaller, making them ideal for the mini- and sub-notebook categories. Perlmutter shared details in graphics quality and native hardware support for high-definition entertainment using Blu Ray, and demonstrated Intel solid state drive technology. Looking ahead Perlmutter offered a first peek at Intel's 2009 notebook platform codenamed "Calpella." Before that and toward the end of 2008, Perlmutter said the company will bring Intel Anti-theft Technology. The technology focuses on asset recovery, theft management and data protection and will arrive in laptops by year's end. Perlmutter also showcased two laptops called "netbooks" while articulating Intel's strategy for this emerging class of affordable, easy-to-use computers. These simple, low-cost Internet-centric devices will be powered by Intel's new purpose-built low power architecture, forthcoming "Diamondville" Intel Atom processors and unique transistor and manufacturing process that is perfectly suited for this new market opportunity.
