Chip start-up Tilera receives $ 45,000,000 capital

Chip manufacturers Tilera After its own Information another 45 million dollars (33 million euros) of capital from technology companies such as Samsung Ventures and Cisco . Get In a first Financing round In March 2010 the young company had received some 25 million dollars (almost 19 million euros).

Tilera headquartered in San Jose is building multi-core processors. Among the new donors who have contributed the 45 million, in addition to Cisco and Samsung are also Western Summit Capital Management and the Comerica Bank. They join the other financiers Walden International, Bessemer Venture Partners, Columbia Capital Broadcom NTT Finance, VentureTech Alliance and Quanta Computer.

"With many manufacturing customers, the company operates near the Break-even Point"Reads the company’s misconduct." Later this year we want to make a profit. This round of funding with $ 45,000,000 given us a strong balance sheet with which we can lead the company through a strong growth phase. "

Founded in 2004, has made the design of processors with up to 100 cores, a name. For comparison: IntelProcessors even in the high-end class have no more than eight cores. Due to construction Tileras the individual nuclei are independent of each other. In theory could thus run on any core, a different operating system.

Chip designer Peter Glaskowsky writes said: "More common, however, application, groups of cores together on a single task to let the part of a larger work load is way you can a single chip such as a. Computer Cluster use of multiprocessor systems. "

The applications are endless. Samsung Ventures, for example, that they know of solutions in the areas of Cloud computingInterested network security, wireless networking and multimedia. Quanta Computer has announced in June 2010, a server with 10,000 processor cores.

Intel is on 7 January 17 New Processors B

Intel plans to introduce in Las Vegas his first notebook with integrated graphics processors (code name Arrandale). These are the first mobile CPUs for the manufacturer to combine the two cores and a graphics controller on a chip. This should ensure a better energy efficiency are achieved. In the 45-nanometer process produced graphics unit will also support Blu-ray playback and, according to Intel provide enough power for mainstream gaming.

Because of its graphics processors Intel has recently come again to the attention of competition watchdogs. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission FTC had filed on Wednesday antitrust case against the chip manufacturer. She complains that the misuse of its dominant position to stifle competition from vendors such as Nvidia.

 Intel is on 7 January 17 New Processors A

At CES in Las Vegas will present new models, the manufacturer of the Core-i-series, including the first-i3-Core CPUs. They are the first 32-nanometer chips. Intel also shows Arrandale CPUs with integrated graphics chip for notebooks.

As Intel is believed to start the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on 7 January unveiling its new Core-i-processors, including the first Core chips i3. Overall, Intel plans to introduce 17 new models Las Vegas.

These are the first CPUs on the chip manufacturer, which are manufactured in 32-nanometer process. The current processors have a feature size of 45 nanometers. The smaller the structures, the more powerful and energy efficient working chips.

At a press event in San Francisco on Thursday once again reiterated Intel’s current Core-i strategy: i7 models are the high-end processors, the i5 versions are the middle class, and the $ 3 variants are aimed at beginners. The new i5 core chips will have the so-called turbo-boost technology that increases the clock speed of individual cores or lowers to adjust performance and power efficiency of the CPU to the actual needs.
