New Hardware for 2008, Sensasional!!

In 2007 brought us a revolution in data storage, PCs smaller than a shoe box and the quad processor. So, what now?

Sci-fi books and movies have for a long time given us the headset that allows a user to interface with a computer. These EEG (electroencephalography) sensor headsets have always been a promise of the future…

Both Intel and AMD are shipping dual core processors – processors with two CPUs on a single chip.  Thanks to tremendous reductions in feature size (Intel manufactures on a .65nm process), many more transistors can fit into a reasonably sized package.  Improvements in metallurgy also means that the cost of copper interconnects in the chips have dropped tremendously.
