Intel® Atom™ Processor N450: Radical Changes on Netbook

Intel® Atom™ N270/280 to Intel® Atom™ Processor N450/N470 Architecture

 

The scheme show us the architecture changes from long based Intel FSB to Intel DMI, by integrating Northbridge tasks, such as onboard graphics and memory controller into Processor. This  bring to lower power usage since there’s only 2 chips left. Just like Intel 1156 with P55 chipset. With onboard graphics integrated in the processor, there’s no need for additional onboard graphics chipset such nVidia ION, which surely use more power. Hence, the new onboard graphics GMA3150 seems not getting much better than previous GMA950. the processor does have about 10% increase in performance. But for me the aim of this improvement is only to decrease the bill of material, so to speak this kind of architecture will be getting more cheaper. But by doing so, the user also get benefit by having a less power usage (from 3 to 2 chips) which lead to higher battery life for netbook. It’s almost the same battery performance against the Z520 with US15W (2 chips with Northbridge with Southbridge in one chip) which use a total about 4.5W.

A Little Walk to Bekasi Square

Today i planned to bring my brother’s Nokia E75 to NCC to repair it’s firmware. after googling i found out there’s also a NCC in Bekasi Square.. Why not in Metropolitan Mall you say? because there’s always a big queue there. It’s good to have a walk in a mall, since i also want to watch a movie, and there they shows Sang Pemimpi.. just what i wanted to watch (since Sherlock Holmes not yet available in Bekasi).

Just what i wanted, there’s not even a queue in NCC Bekasi Square, simple talk, and the CS asked to return in an hour.. though they will also sent a SMS if the phone fixed. so i went to 21 cineplex and buy the ticket.. a bit waiting, but then i’m a bit late for the shows.. my phone clock was 20 minutes late.. :( well it’s not really late though, the story was just only begun. For me, the movie was top rated. it has good meaning, good storyline, an art should i say.. there’s some flaw though, they (the producer) was unable to completely visualize the time of the story. The license plate number is one of the example.

After watching the movie, i went to NCC. Well the worst i ever want to hear does happened.. The CS told me that the phone was unsucessfuly flashed, so they had to reflash it again.. so i wait for another 30 minutes. after then, the CS again told me that they were unable to fix it now. so i have to pick it up tomorrow (if they able to got it right of course). Though i don’t think they will able to fix it. If they were unable, they said they had to sent it to Level 3 (wow!! so there should be level 1 eh??) and it will took more time, about 2-3 weeks.. well i should’ve known better, since i also tried to flash it with ovi more than twice but was unable to do that in the first place. hope they don’t crash the phone.

Things Has Getting Bad.. Really Bad Lately

In this new year, many unfortunate things happened to me. Yesterday, just when i returned from Bali i lost my moto-calculato-rola in the bus which i used for my XL number. Ain’t gonna make it a big fuss since i absolutely sure it should be in the bus, but if it isn’t so then... But today i just lost my MSI Wind U100 which supposed to be left in pa sopir’s car. I forgot to take it out of his car yesterday since it was already late. But in the morning i remembered, and try to contact him. By the noon he called and told me that he got his side window crashed, and seems someone took the netbook also. It’s not only the netbook, there’s also a sata/ata to usb converter and my micro sd card reader which i used as flash drive there. But the weird thing is, both things i lost isn’t far from my small black bag i used to put all the cellphone chargers and my kit.. Sayonara then for good.. Just Pray for my Brother to get well soon..

23 Hours of Life: Haven't slept yet since returned from Bali

Back to usual life, i continue developing pa sopir's game center. The deployment seems unsucessful. I haven't found the real problem yet, but i just too tired.. Need some rest. I hope i could make a brief guide later on about computer software and os deployment after finished this job.
Yet i have to learn how to crimp the RJ-45, since pa sopir's the one who've been crimping all the time. I also needed to learn how to deploy a microtic unit which run under linux environment. Well.. Soon i'll try to learn both, but all i need right now just.. Rest.. Zzzz

Again stuck in the bus. It's almost 3'o clock in the morning now. As i said before, we will arrive at dawn in bekasi. For me, there's no fun left with this long long trip..
Today i should be deploying the pc in pa sopir's game center, it will took a long time, with 20 pc, and est about 30 minutes clone each. It will took about a day!.. Gonna get all worn-out. Can't wait to watch Sherlock Holmes!!

Location: Sarangan
time showing: 03.30

it's shivering out there.. Me, i just sit still in the living room. There's not much thing to do, about to resent the email but the broadband signal (well it's not even EVDO here) so weak and unstable.
Tomorrow is the end of the trip, back to Bekasi.. Though i don't really think we gonna arrive in Bekasi tomorrow anyway.. :)

Happy New Year 2010 AD

As the title above says, i just want to say happy new year to everyone. A little bit late i guess, since i was feeling unwell on the new year eve, but it shouldn't be a problem now.. :)
Not so good trip since two days before i went to Bali, i noticed my upper lip was hurt by itself.. This aphthous ulcer is killing me during the trip. A bit bored since i also went to Bali about halfyear before. But with different persons and different locations, the trip experience does differ than before. For example there's cs and dagor's brother with their family. There's also my uncle, auntee, and my cousins. This time i don't take much picture, so i can't upload it to my blog.
