Very interesting article from Tech-On. LTE shows a lot of promise because of its ability to scale speed based on available bandwidth, low transmit power based on single-carrier FDMA on the transmit side, and short connection delays. Speeds can be as high as 100 Mbps using a 20 MHz bandwidth, and could conceivably reach 1 Gbps on 4G bandwidth allocations of 100 MHz. The upside of its usage of SC-FD...

From Tech-On. This news is almost 2 months old but is still pretty impressive. Intel's Bangalore design center in India designs Intel's first 6-core microprocessor, code-named Dunnington. It is also the the first Intel microprocessor fully designed in India. It was designed in a 45-nm process and packs 1.9 billion transistors. http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/HONSHI/20081030/160494/ I...
