SUNNYVALE,
CA -- February 10, 2003 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today introduced
the AMD
Athlon™ XP processor 3000+ — the world’s highest performing
desktop PC processor. Featuring increased cache memory for greater performance,
the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ outperforms competing desktop PC processors
by up to 17 percent on a variety of industry standard software benchmarks.
Systems based on the AMD
Athlon XP processor 3000+ are immediately available
from NEC-CI in Europe and soon from other computer
manufacturers around the globe.
“AMD leads the desktop
PC processor industry by delivering unsurpassed application
performance for business and home consumers,” said
Rob Herb, AMD executive vice president and chief sales
and marketing officer. “We are absolutely committed
to listening to our customers and responding with the
best products to meet their computing performance needs.”
The AMD Athlon XP processor
3000+ features 640KB of total on-chip cache memory – an
increase of nearly 70 percent over previous AMD Athlon
XP processors and the highest amount of on-chip cache
memory of any desktop PC processor. Increased cache
memory allows more information to be stored closer
to the processor, leading to greater performance on
software applications such as digital content creation,
3-D gaming, media encoding and office productivity.
“Consumers should
be aware that PC performance is more than just processor
frequency alone,” said Kevin Krewell, senior
analyst of The Microprocessor Report. “Today’s
PC processors can deliver higher performance through
architectural enhancements such as increased cache
memory and faster bus speeds. The overall performance
of a system is what’s important, and that’s
what buyers should focus on when making a purchasing
decision.”
Industry support for the
AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+
“ Packard Bell, the consumer brand of NEC Computers International and one
of Europe’s home PC leaders, is happy to broaden its product line-up with
the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ in order to offer a full range of solutions
to its customers,” said Aymar de Lencquesaing, vice president, sales and
marketing, consumer division, NEC Computers International.
“ATI is committed
to pushing the leading edge of graphics technology
and creating the ultimate visual experience,” said
Rick Bergman, senior vice president, marketing and
general manager, Desktop, ATI Technologies Inc. “With
the introduction of the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+,
with more on-chip cache, AMD is demonstrating its dedication
to the same goal. The RADEON 9700 PRO, the world’s
first and most advanced cinematic VPU, in combination
with the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+, unleashes an
unbelievably realistic and immersive gaming experience.”
“The high-performance
AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ combined with our consumer-friendly
software will help home users produce professional-level
photos and videos that amaze their friends and family,” said
Mike Mickes, director of product management, Ulead
Systems, North America. “With software such as
our Ulead PhotoImpact and upcoming VideoStudio 7, consumers
can have an enjoyable editing experience made faster
and more productive by improved processor performance.”
Availability
Systems based on the AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ are immediately available
from NEC-CI in Europe and soon from other computer manufacturers around
the globe.
"Our
benchmarks showed that the Athlon XP 3000+ at standard
clock speed
(13 x 166 MHz = 2166 MHz) can't hold a candle to the
P4 3.06 MHz together with the
latest applications." - Toms Hardware Guide Review
Why
Small Businesses should Install a LAN
Source
- Ashish Uttam
Let’s
say you’re an average small business owner
and you have between three and five computers in
your office in addition to one printer. You and/or
employees dialup on to the Internet one by one, each
disconnecting soon after so the other person can
use the phone line.
Not
forgetting that from time to time you require files
that are stored on other individual’s computers
and you find the 3 ½ floppy insufficient to
copy files, or you find burning a CD to copy the
required file(s) from one system to another to time
consuming.
You
might be surprised to note that all of this can be
done faster and more efficiently if you consider
installing a Peer-to-Peer network within your organization.
This type of network allows businesses to use one
printer for their multiple computers simultaneously,
and allows for all required systems to be connected
to the internet with just one phone line!
We
savvy “Technicians” call it networking.
It’s a basic concept of “sharing” resources
(hardware, software or both) through one computer
and allowing these resources to be accessed from
any other given computer on the same network.
Think
of a network as a neighborhood with each computer
having a specific name and individual IP addresses
(think physical address in the case of an actual
neighborhood, i.e. #21 Pine Plantation Road etc)
so they can communicate effectively with each other.
With
the installation of a Peer-to-Peer network, users
are able to:
* Share
printers, allowing one printer to be used by a number
of computers simultaneously.
* “Share” access to the Internet because with just one computer
dialed in, all the other computers on the network will have access to the Internet!
* No more copying via storage mediums such as CDs or Disks. If another
user has a file on her computer and you need access to it, you simply navigate
into that computer from your computer and copy the file to your hard drive or
access it directly from that individual’s system.
* Reduce your organizations operating and capital costs by avoiding the
unnecessary expense of installing additional phone lines and purchasing additional
printer equipment.
* Work faster and more efficiently, saving your time and your customers’ time.
In a Peer-to-Peer Network,
some computers run File-Server Networking software
in addition to Client Networking. Peer-to-peer networks
offer a low start-up cost, simplicity, and sufficient
power and compatibility to satisfy the needs of many
businesses.
Tips & Tricks
MULTIPLE VULNERABILITIES
IN INTERNET EXPLORER
Andreas Sandblad discovered two new vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer
(IE) that can result in information disclosure or the execution of arbitrary
code on the vulnerable system. These vulnerabilities stem from a flaw in IE's
showHelp function that
results in incomplete security checking, permitting Web site access to information
in another domain.
An attacker can misuse
certain dialog boxes to run malicious scripts and obtain
data. Microsoft has released
Security Bulletin MS03-004, "Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer (810847)," to
address this vulnerability and recommends that affected users apply the appropriate
patch mentioned in the bulletin. This patch addresses all previously discovered
IE vulnerabilities. http://www.secadministrator.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=37973
UNCHECKED BUFFER
IN WINDOWS XP REDIRECTOR
A new vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Redirector can result in the execution
of arbitrary code on the vulnerable system. This vulnerability stems from an
unchecked buffer that XP uses to receive parameter information. By providing
malformed data to the Windows Redirector, an attacker can cause the system
to fail or run code of the attacker's choice.
Microsoft has released
Security Bulletin MS03-005, "Unchecked Buffer
in Windows Redirector Could Allow
Privilege Elevation (810577)," to address this vulnerability and recommends
that affected users apply the appropriate patch mentioned in the bulletin. http://www.secadministrator.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=37974

What if every
bit of data in every computer included instructions
about its content that would allow any other computer
to interact with it?
Such interoperability
could unleash amazing new automation and efficiencies
in information systems, spawning a powerful new service-driven
computer industry. For example, software might be
written that would allow a carmaker to instantly
change its parts orders across all its suppliers
to meet a sudden uptick in demand for a specific
model.
While we're not there
yet, hundreds of the world's best and brightest technology
companies are betting on some version of that vision
becoming a reality. Marketed relentlessly under the
buzz phrase "Web services," this is a still
largely unrealized goal. But there are signs of real
progress, if not revolution.
One key benchmark of
success has been the steady adoption of a coding
language known as Extensible Markup Language (XML),
which was approved as a standard by the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) five years ago today.
XML began as a tool for
publishers to describe the contents of documents
exchanged over the Web, but it quickly became popular
as a technique for describing any kind of data. The
language provides terms used to define a Web document's
tags--that is, the elements of the document that
describe its various pieces--and the relationships
between them. Developers at either end of a data
exchange then agree to use a common set of tags.
Hundreds of companies
now support XML, which is fast becoming the Web's
new lingua franca, laying a foundation for a coming
wave of Web-based services.
Five years after XML's
birth as a W3C recommendation, CNET News.com caught
up with some of the people closest to its genesis
to gauge the successes, failures and coming challenges
for a key technology that has come to underpin the
Web.
Businesses
benefiiting from e-goverment services
Source - Silicon
Europe's
citizens are still getting a raw deal when it comes
to e-government - although businesses are now able
to take advantage of an increasingly sophisticated
array of online services throughout the European Union
(EU).
Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
today released the latest results of its third survey
on electronic Public Services in Europe, which is conducted
on behalf of the European Commission (EC).
It looked at the progress
Europe is making in providing online services to both
citizens and businesses. The measurement criteria cover
the level of online interaction and the overall availability
of public services online.
For the 20 public services
analysed across the 15 EU member states, plus Norway,
Iceland and Switzerland, the online sophistication
has grown by 15 per centage points in one year, from
45 per cent to 60 per cent.
Denmark, Sweden, Ireland
and Finland showed particularly good progress, as they
have developed services which go beyond the level of
two-way interaction, the report states.
In almost every country,
public services for businesses score significantly
higher than those for citizens - and this gap is widening.
Country-wise, Sweden and
Ireland show the highest level of online sophistication,
although in Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany, the online
presence of service providers such as towns, cities,
universities, and libraries is above average. Their
level of sophistication online is less developed however.
Stanislas Cozon Vice President,
Cap Gemini Ernst & Young,
said in a statement: "The results show that in the
past year significant progress has been made by European
governments in providing strong online services around
income-generation.
European governments now
need to focus more on the other services, particularly
those most relevant
to citizens - and overall ensure that they have the
right approach to implement successfully."
