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.
Number two PC maker Dell, which recently embraced a new partnership with chipmaker AMD, has launched a desktop range running Intel's new quad-core processors, as well as quad-core servers. The addition of quad-core processors from Intel to Dell's stable highlights the gap in the AMD range that currently exists.
According to Dell, the addition of quad-core
processors across the Dell Precision desktop portfolio underscores
Dell's commitment to deliver the highest performance and scalability in
standards-based professional workstations. "Quad-core processors
combined with Dell's faster and more scalable memory architecture and
latest OpenGL graphics, mean professional workstation customers can
handle the most demanding multithreaded applications faster and more
easily than ever," an Intel statement read.
Dell customers can
now configure the two-socket Dell Precision 690 and Dell Precision 490
with new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, while the single-socket Dell
Precision 390 supports the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor.
"Performance
of heavily multithreaded applications such as Autodesk 3D Studio Max
rendering component, can scale dramatically with the addition of
processor cores. When configured with quad-core Intel Xeon processors,
the Dell Precision 690 and 490 workstations can deliver performance
gains of up to 54% on multi-threaded applications," Dell
claims.
