Noise levels, an active sensor generates heat, which shows up as noise on photos

Intel fleshes out a few more Penryn deets

skmetal7, it is, amongst other things, because the wafer needs to be evenly heated during manufacturing, and being circular aides that.

Renault and Ferrari give Red Bull wings!!!

'last years' engine is also next years engine, being that the FIA has instigated an engine freeze the thing is that formula 1 cars are SOOOOOOOOO dependent on aerodynamics that selling another team your engine only gives them a leg up if their aero package is competitive, meanwhile it DOES give Ferrari more feedback on how their engine performs than they could with the testing they're actually allowed to do themselves.

IBM looking to release 5GHz Power6 server chip

Oct 12th 2006 7:31AM on Engadget

a 2.3Ghz POWER5+, which this should scale up from pretty well from, turns in

SPECInt2000 = 1900
SpecFP2000 = 4051 (okay, that's fudged, because I couldn't find the 2.3Ghz number on SPECmine, the FP number is actually from a 2.1Ghz Power5+, so consider it lowballed)

a 2.93Ghz Core 2 Extreme turns in
SPECInt2000 = 3119 (It's a complete and utter beast at this)
and
SPECfp2000 = 3050

Oh, and the POWER series has been dualcore since the POWER4 in 2001.

International incident takes place on Turkish F1 podium

It'd be a damned shame if the Turkish GP were dropped... if nothing else it's an awesome circuit.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
