Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Barely a month after AMD shipped its long awaited 65 nanometer Barcelona quad-core processor, its larger rival Intel has tightened the screws once again with the commencement of production of its 45nm Penryn range of processors.
With the 45 nm process, Intel, which will produce
the new smaller chips out of a new US$3 billion plant in Arizona, will
once again have a significant advantage over its Silicon Valley
neighbor in terms of production capacity, performance and energy
efficiency.
AMD, which not too long ago was nipping at Intel's heals and
threatening to take 30% X86 processor market share, is now once again
playing catchup to Intel in the technology production stakes, having
moved from 90nm to 65nm production less than a year ago.
Intel's 45nm Penryn chips are expected to be more energy efficient -
increasingly a requirement by industry - as well as faster and cheaper
to produce. With Intel cranking them out by the tens of thousands each
month Penryn, a Core 2 Duo chip, is expected to be widely available on
server, desktop and notebook platforms by the end of the first quarter
of 2008.
Now that Intel is well and truly in the 45nm game, AMD is once again
behind the eight-ball by about six months, having previously announced
plans to commence shipping 45nm chips from its Dresden plant by the
middle of 2008.
Meanwhile Intel plans to move to 32nm microarchitecture by 2010 and 22nm by 2011.
