Apple latest Chip gamble
The P.A Semi PA6T-1682M system-on-chip integrates two 2 GHz CPU cores, DDR2 memory controllers, 1 GbE/10 GbE Ethernet MACs, offload engines, 8 PCIe controllers and 24 configurable SerD • Two 64-bit power-efficient superscalar out-of-order Power Architecture CPUs offer high-end processing capabilities at modest power dissipation • Two integrated memory controllers provide low-latency access to DDR2-400/533/667/800/1066 memory banks • An integrated 2 MB L2 cache provides substantial on-chip storage for code and data • A configurable, coherent I/O subsystem provides a choice of high-speed serial I/Os, including PCI Express, 10 GbE, and 1 GbE • A sophisticated demand-balancing DMA controller and associated offload engines provide efficient data movement and processing, including encryption, checksum computations, and streaming XOR generation • Virtualization features support multiple different operating systems simultaneously on each CPU and industry-standard hypervisorsbut according to apple: Apple's iPhone group almost assuredly doesn't want P.A. Semi's current product. The PWRficient PA6T-1682M is the only product listed on P.A. Semi's Web page. It's a dual-core 64-bit chip designed for high-performance computing and embedded applications--things like server appliances or sophisticated telecommunications gear.For me, who still uses n90, always carrying a charger, a device using a high powered processor + 3G network + 802.11g = one of a hell power hog device!

Globe Platinum is just an overpriced Postpaid Line  My Dad and I got really frustrated a few minutes ago. His Globe Platinum is due for renewal and renewals for Globe Platinum subscribers mean free units. Free unit for my dad, or if successful, free for myself :DAnyway I called Globe Platinum's Hotline through my dad's mobile and passed the phone to my dad. While my dad is talking to the CSR, he frowned and heard saying "bakit rebate lang bibigay nyo sakin?" my dad got mad, and he passed the mobile back to me saying, "get her name, I'll go directly to globe and clarify this things!", the CSR gave her name, "Joycee Arlos", anyway to cut things short, I simply asked her, why there is no available unit for a platinum subscriber? she answered back, "kasi po wala pa pong unit available ang pwedeng ibigay, rebate lang po binigay sa ngayon." Then I put a little spice, "what if mag aaply ako ng plan 1800, anong unit maproprovide sakin ng globe?", then the CSR reply "we have some available units for the plan 1800 sir," and then I replied back, "wala kayong unit pero merong kayong unit na ma proprovide sa new subscriber?!, eh kung inoffer mo nalang saming 2 unit ng lower models baka matuwa pakami, pero sabhn mong walang unit para sa platinum?! 7 years na subscriber wala kayong mabigay?!, ayos ah!" For the second time around globe platinum is playing hard to get to give phone to their loyal subscribers... anyway these phone are not actually free anyway, you're still paying it thru your monthly bills... what's the point of Platinum lines when you're getting bad service... nice one Globe... "Sa Globe... Lahat posible..." yeah right... Labels: Globe, Globe Handyphone, PostPaid Posted by Karlo @ 4/08/2008 11:21:00 PM
