Intel will be adding new ultra-low-voltage (ULV) chips to the existing 640UM (1.2GHz) and 620UM (1.06GHz) Core i7 processors. The 1.33GHz Core i7 660UM and 1.46GHz Core i7 680UM chips have the same 18W TDP (thermal design power) as the existing range but can be overclocked to 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz, respectively. Like its higher-powered siblings, the ULV chips will support four d ata streams as the same time, effectively simulating a quad-core processor. The integrated graphics chipset runs at 500MHz, but slows down to 166MHz to save power.

Intel’s processor roadmap, which was probably planned for CES 2010, has leaked all over the Internet. Not too many surprises here, as the supposed roadmap included a slew of desktop chips bearing the Core i3, i5 and i7 labels. The former is an entry-level processor that lacks overclocking features and runs at 2.93GHz or 3.06GHz. The mainstream Core i5 comes in dual-core and quad-core flavors with Turbo Boost. The high-end Core i7 has all the features of the Core i5 while increasing the number of processing threads to eight (Core i3 and i5 have only four threads). Also in the works, the top-of-the-line hexa-core Core i9 with a staggering 12 processing threads. Polish Web site PCLab accidentally published benchmarks of this impressive chip before it was removed at Intel’s request.

In an effort to make it easier for customers to identify the right products for their needs, HDMI Licensing released Thursday, on behalf of the HDMI Founders, an updated version of the HDMI Adopted Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines. HDMI Licensing is the agent responsible for licensing the high-definition multimedia interface specification The most notable changes in the guidelines are significant restrictions on the use of version numbers and new marketing requirements for cables. These new requirements are designed to simplify the product selection process for consumers, enabling them to purchase an appropriate product based on features, instead of having to do research on what each version does. According to the new guidelines, adopters will no longer be allowed to use HDMI specification version numbers in the labeling, packaging, or promotion of their HDMI-compliant products. These restrictions go into effect immediately for cable products. Noncable products, however, have until January 1, 2012, to fully comply.
The new guidelines designate all HDMI cable products into five types:
Standard HDMI cable
Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet
Standard automotive HDMI cable
High-speed HDMI cable
High-speed HDMI cable with Ethernet
The latest version of HDMI cables on the market is version 1.3. However, HDMI Licensing has also recently released the Compliance Test Specification forversion 1.4 to adopters. The new version 1.4 of the HDMI standard will include several new features, such as HDMI Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 3D, 4K, and Content Type.
