Nvidia promises 200 notebook models with Sandy Bridge and its graphics

Nvidia announces Press Release to that in the first half of 2011 a record 200 models with Intel’s new CPU platform “Sandy Bridgecome “and a GeForce GPU on the market. Some of the manufacturers Acer, Alienware, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba.

Most of the models should have between 6 and 9 January will be announced if, in the U.S. Computer CES takes place. However, it is considered bad time for notebook manufacturers – new models in January complicate the sale of the Christmas season assembled remnants. Intel is therefore the launch of the dual-core version of Sandy Bridge postponed to February have. Only then should the manufacturers introduce models with this processor in the market.

The announcement suggests that the PC maker with the power of the improved integrated Intel graphics not quite satisfied. Especially for users interested in games it is unlikely to little. With Optimus Nvidia is ready for a technology that allows users to between integrated Intel graphics and more efficient to change Nvidia GPU.

For AMD and its ATI graphics chip division is the large number of Intel-based notebook models with Nvidia graphics not good news. The collaboration between Intel and Nvidia more difficult for the processor and its competitors Radeon Series competition. In second quarter of 2010 had AMD in the graphics market for discrete solutions still can position before Nvidia. This comfortable position, it threatens to lose.

For Nvidia, the market for Windows notebooks is more important than Apple Reportedly think about it, to give in cheaper Macbooks with Sandy Bridge to a Nvidia chip. It is said that Apple consider the improved Intel graphics in this segment are sufficient.

Pollution-free fuel cells

“In the future if the phone battery died in the field, we only need a mobile phone back shell of the tube the size of the hair to add methanol to the cell phone is fully charged can continue like normal.” Painted this wonderful picture of the Guangzhou University Hydrogen fuel cell technology and new catalyst project leader Professor Lin Weiming. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering school has recently developed a hydrogen fuel cell technology and new catalysts, fuel cells can not only reduce the concentration of toxic components, but also to improve fuel utilization and extend the life of fuel cells can be computers, mobile phones , car, etc. application.

As we all know, fuel cell fuel is mainly composed of hydrogen and oxygen, the most prominent feature is the “clean”, known as the most attractive of the 21st century generation methods.

The performance of the fuel cell catalyst plays a key role in the fuel before the fuel cells need to add methane, methanol reaction, both are indispensable. However, Professor Lin Weiming the research team tested successfully using methanol as a fuel alone, the addition of the catalyst will be able to generate electricity, “Now the fuel cell power conversion rate of 70% -80%.”

By adding a catalyst to reduce the fuel cell reaction produces carbon monoxide, to extend battery life is also one of their research. Fuel cell reaction in the fuel will produce about 1% of carbon monoxide, and carbon monoxide will make fuel cell “poisoning” and shorten battery life. Wei-Ming Lin said they discovered after numerous tests, using the new catalyst, the absorption rate of carbon monoxide can be increased to about 99%, thereby reducing the battery “poisoning” the possibility of extending life.

Power Lithium Battery Product Analysis

Has the “ultimate energy” and “green energy,” said the lithium-ion batteries, since the 90s of last century since the advent of electronic products from the button batteries, cell phone, DC digital products in the lithium battery, the electric vehicle in the battery power, is increasingly widely used in people’s production and life. Compared with other batteries, lithium-ion batteries on whether it is from the volume, weight, or from the performance, have a great advantage.

To use in a reasonable range of voltage within the capacity of lithium batteries, one-sided pursuit of large capacity, high voltage is wrong. First, any thing to go through a simple to complex, from hard to easy the process is also flammable like gas, effectively guarantee the safety of lighters is relatively easy, to effectively guarantee the safety of fuel tanks would much more difficult, crash is still not fully resolved the situation when the car caught fire and exploded. A limited volume in the more energy the more the accumulation of bad management, is currently the largest in Suzhou Star 48V10Ah constant can only guarantee the safety of the battery combination. Second, the higher the voltage, the greater the capacity, protection circuit and a balanced circuit the greater the difficulty and failure rate, so do not advocate Suzhou Star constant and does not support beyond 48V10Ah battery combination.
