We have received news that Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft’s big three next generation consoles will be put into arms of AMD GPU graphics chips, and now the latest argument is that Microsoft’s “Xbox 720″ will direct the use AMD next generation based on bulldozer CPU architecture, DX11 GPU APU integration processors of the schema.

In fact, as early as the end of last year, there are rumors that Microsoft consider the introduction of AMD Fusion APU processor, later was considered unlikely, IBM Power is still the best choice for Microsoft. It now appears that AMD has to a large extent, winner, very hopeful Gets the big contract.

Earlier this week, AMD claimed that one Executive Xbox 720 would have the avatar movie level of picture quality, but also to promote AI artificial intelligence and physical special effects to new heights.

Of course, before any announcement will have all kinds of rumours, whether the end which is not only waiting for the official announcement.

AMD has at the beginning of June has shown a bulldozer version APU processor kind of Trinity and notebook real machine based on it. Trinity APU will continue using 32nm process manufacturing, some upgrade to enhanced bulldozer architecture, however CPU processor, core GPU graphics the evolution VLIW4 schema, still support DX11. If Microsoft eyes on it, I believe that custom version has also been in research and development.

Sony’s “PS4″ appears to be recent, it is said that the end of this year will be put into production next year a comprehensive listing, but hardware specifications are still unable to determine, in particular existing may be 32nm IBM Cell processor, there may be a variant of AMD bulldozer. From the “best” point of view, the new generation AMD looks set to be fully ruled almost three games host CPU and GPU chips.

SINA technology hearing July 22 Beijing time this morning news, Google lawyer luobote·fannisite (Robert Van Nest) said on Thursday, before acquired by Oracle, Sun Microsystems, has offered $ 100 million-dollar price sale to Google’s Java patents, but rejected by the latter.

Van Neste Henri said, 2006 Sun Microsystems put a total 100 million dollars to Google, for a period of three years of “all-inclusive” (all-in) Protocol. But not a pure patent licensing agreement but a technology cooperation agreement to development of Android OS platform.

Oracle of Google to court last year, called Google Android infringes the company after the acquisition of Sun Java patent obtained and requested Google compensation for economic losses up to us $ 6.1 billion. Google strongly denied infringement, hearing on the same day, the company requested the trial judge weilianmu·aersupu (William Alsup) overthrow the Oracle’s request.

Nokia this NFC (the near field communications) on technology companies with long history, announced unexpectedly with NFC enabled phones, C7 and N9, cannot support mobile wallet and mobile payment functionality. Problem is on the hardware: the mobile phone is not configured for inline elements of security (security of private information such as credit card information stored by a region) or Single Wire Protocol is not supported, mobile operators need to offer NFC functionality by SWP SIM card.

N9 and C7 series does not have the function of mobile payment

Nokia United Kingdom and Ireland service, sales and marketing departments of the Rupert Englander said in an interview with NFCWorld, the company is still exploring the potential of NFC.

“Nokia believes that NFC means more than mobile payment. “He said,” we may go into a shop, then with NFC function that you can easily use their mobile phones to pay the cost of goods. We phones as mobile wallets, it be actually work and facilitate use at least need one to 1.5 years time. People in this area for a variety of attempts, such as Orange and the United Kingdom joint launch of Barclaycard credit card giant Quick Tap services, but it is also restricted, you must be an Orange user, is Barclaycard Customer, and only in certain specific areas for shopping. ”

As there is currently no guarantee NFC mobile phone production standard for transaction security, so Nokia decided not to use the open, chip without security restrictions, the NFC’s focus on “tag and Bluetooth pairing” function.

Does not support NFC mobile payments is possible (but very boring)

Objective terms, Englander was right: NFC is a nascent technology, their actual application, especially applications in mobile payments at least need one to 1.5 year promotional period. Under ViVOtech’s NFC software and systems CEOMick Mullag says, enables all stakeholders including banks, Phonemakers, carriers, website etc to cooperate fully at least require 2-3 time. Of Gartner analysts also believe, adaptation process is very gradually, they predict by 2015, less of 10% users will use NFC mobile payments.

NFC technology is already in a number of high cards in the spread of industry, such as Google (Google Wallet), Visa (Visa ‘ s Digital Wallet), PayPal, T-Mobile, Verizon,AT&T (Isis) and a number of other companies. In other words, in NFC mobile phones before the explosion, will be more based on the launch of NFC technology.

Most these services first United States launch but, Nokia gave up NFC payment function N9 series phones did not prepare landing United States, C7 in United States very little effect. Americans are more important, is the Nokia venture to launch later in the year’s first Windows phone is configured to support mobile payments in the NFC features.

This upcoming release of Windows Mobile phone codenamed “Sea Ray”, according to leaked information, its hardware system appears with the N9 series and has not caused by the second, this may also mean that they also have the same internal structure.

In phone wallet zhiwai certainly has more based on NFC technology of service–for example, Nokia on first launched has support NFC function of “anger of bird” game–select gave up phone wallet service makes Nokia of this two paragraph phone entered has representative with industry “status” of Group (including Blackberry launched of more boring of 9,900 and 9,930 series), and is not “elite” group, as Google of flagship phone Nexus s. Although some unrealistic, but we still hope that Nokia Windows Mobile phone can truly replace our wallets with powerful service, even if it had to spend a long period of time.
