Acer has revealed that they indeed have an Android phone in their lab, which is pretty much a production ready smartphone. It’s going to be a 4.8-inch smartphone, which seemed like what Dell Streak is. The 4.8-inch screen will have a very high 1.24 x 480 resolution on the very awkward 21:9 aspect ratio. The phone will be a “full metal body”, something like what Apple’s been doing to their MacBooks. Aluminum unibody phone anyone? Read more…

As of current, the most powerful Intel processor is a hexa-core processor in the form of the Core i7 980x, which was released about eight months ago. The 32nm CPU uses socket LGA 1366 and operates at 3.33GHz speed with 12MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 130W. Being christened the ‘extreme’ processor, it has been sold at the price of USD 999 for months with no changes. Right now Intel is busy with their Sandy Bridge platform which will be arriving very soon, but that arrival does not include the highest performing Sandy Bridge platform, which is the replacement for the socket 1366 category. There’s still no benchmark for Sandy Bridge so we do not know if the new Sandy Bridge can outperform the extreme Core i7 but it’s hardly. Therefore the extreme Core i7-980x will remain king of crop for a few more months. But AMD is also preparing its high-end platform to compete with Intel’s top boy, so Intel is getting ready to replace its extreme processor with one that’s even more extreme. Read more…
