Intel Announces Atom Processors for Android Tablets

Intel announced on April 11 that Atom Processors to power Tablet computers running Android, MeeGo or Windows, will start shipping from May onwards.

To begin with the Atom Processors will be based on Intel's 45nm Oak Trail architecture. In the second half of 2011, Intel will make available Atom processors based on its follow-up 32nm Cedar Trail architecture.

Over 35 tablet and hybrid designs from companies including Evolve III, Fujitsu Limited, Lenovo, Motion Computing, Razer, and Viliv will use Oak Trail based Intel processors, like the Atom Z670, running on a variety of operating systems.

The Atom Z670 delivers improved video playback, fast Internet browsing and longer battery life, without sacrificing performance. The Oak Trail platform s supports 1080p video decode, as well as HDMI. It also supports Adobe Flash, enabling rich content and Flash-based gaming.

The platform also helps deliver smaller, thinner and more efficient devices by packing integrated graphics and the memory controller directly onto the processor die. The processor is 60 percent smaller than previous generations with a lower-power design for fanless devices as well as up to all-day battery life.

Additional features include Intel Enhanced Deeper Sleep that saves more power during periods of inactivity as well as optimized Intel SpeedStep technology. An integrated HD decode engine enables smooth 1080p HD video playback at a fraction of the power consumption.

The Cedar Trail platform, based on Intel's 32nm process technology, will feature reduced power consumption and facilitate fanless designs with longer battery life. Devices based on the platform will be cool and quiet and sleek.

The platform also feature improvements in graphics capabilities including Blu-ray 2.0 support, a dedicated media engine for full 1080p playback and additional digital display options including HDMI output and DisplayPort.

New features will include Intel Wireless Music, Intel Wireless Display, PC Synch and Fast Boot.

Intel is currently sampling "Cedar Trail" to all major OEMs and ODMs. Devices based on the "Cedar Trail" platform will start becoming available in the second half of 2011.

Intel will will give a sneak peak at the Cedar Trail platform at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
