Digit news - Marvell chips speed mobile Web browsing:
Marvell acquired the Xscale series of processors from Intel and the new range PXA 300, PXA 310 and PXA 320 chips are the first fruits of the acquisition.
They are designed to be used in mobile devices where computing power is needed, but also good power consumption - they can adjust their processing speed as required.
The PXA 300 is designed for low cost applications, the 310 for numeric applications and the 320 for video.
They can run up to 1.2GHz, though current versions run at 800MHz.

Based on the same micro-architechture as the current Core 2 Due these chips use a new 45nm process (compared to the current 65nm process). This should allow faster, cooler chips and more chips can be put on the silicon per square inch.

Digit news - AMD debuts four-core "4x4" motherboard
AMD has launched a motherboard capabable of taking two dual-core Athlon 64 FX-70 series chips and uses Nvidia's 680a chipset.
Some might say it's not true 4x4 but running 2x dual core. However it will be compatible with future true quad core designs being released next year. It's aimed at high end gamers.
It also shows AMD are retaining their relationship with Nvidia even though they acquired ATI earlier this year.
