$599 Desktop Duel: How an AMD Triple-Core System Beats an Intel Quad on Blu-Ray Playback
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php
Moorhead compares two $599 PCs playing a Blu-Ray movie. One with an AMD Phenom triple-core and the other with an Intel Quad chip, and both with an integrated graphic chip. The Intel system had a much higher CPU utilisation level. And when Moorhead launched an encoding task, the Intel machine peaked at 100% utilisation, affecting the movie playback, where the AMD machine showed a 50% CPU utilisation.

Head to Head comparison: AMD Puma vs Intel Montevina on Blu-Ray playback and Iron Man video game
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php
Moorhead compares two $599 PCs playing a Blu-Ray movie. One with an AMD Phenom triple-core and the other with an Intel Quad chip, and both with an integrated graphic chip. The Intel system had a much higher CPU utilisation level. And when Moorhead launched an encoding task, the Intel machine peaked at 100% utilisation, affecting the movie playback, where the AMD machine showed a 50% CPU utilisation.
"One thing I want to point to is the low CPU utilisation. [On the AMD desktop it was 10-30% and about 70% on the Intel PC]. One of the reasons why this is important on the desktop because once you get a CPU utilisation above a certain threshold, your fan kicks-in, the systems starts to get a lot hotter and probably more importantly is that you're going need that extra CPU space if your background tasks kicks-in as you are watching a movie. This could be Windows Defender. It could be a virus protection. And in this example, we are kicking-on an iTunes audio encode, from a WAV file to AAC... The AMD system's utilisation is a bit higher and Intel's reached 100%... And you'll see some frames dropping".

AMD vs Intel Desktops: Same Performance, $900 cheaper!
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php
By comparing a PC with a Phenom X4 2.6GHz with two 4870s graphics cards in Crossfire mode and another PC with Intel's QX9650 at 3Ghz and also the two same ATI Radeon cards, Moorhead wants to prove that you can have a very similar visual experience with a PC that costs $900 less!
"The only big difference here is the CPU and obviously the motherboard... Basically it's a very consistent experience between the 2 platforms. This is Call Duty 4... A huge difference though. The Intel system is $900 more expensive than the AMD game system primarily driven by the processor cost and the motherboard. So what this says is essentially when it comes to Call of Duty 4 is GPU limited. Particularly when you're running it at the higher resolutions with anti-aliasing turned on, anastropic filtering up really high... It doesn't say that the processor doesn't matter but what it says here is that at $215 processor not a $1,000 processor, you'll get a very similar experience... What could you do with the extra $900? You could buy 20 game titles, a 27" monitor, a cool racing gear with the seat to play an F1 game...".

AMD Hybrid Graphics Beats Intel's Switchable Graphics
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php
We offer what it's called hybrid graphics. So they're some manufacturers that would have the 780G on the motherboard as well as a discrete solution from ATI, called the 4850, actually working in parallel together where you get about a 70% bump by having the 2 cards together. The Intel solution doesn't use both of the GPUs. What happens is you pull the plug and you go integrated, you plug it back in and you have discrete. And we have that same functionality as well but we go the extra added benefit where the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU are working together. So it's kind of a notch above [the Intel solution]".

GPU limited applications run better on AMD's integrated graphics than Intel's
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php
Inspite of AMD's desktop/mobile slower chips versus Intel's, consumers actually can hope having a better user experience on AMD-based systems than Intel's for an equivalent price, or the same level of experience but for a lot cheaper.
And the main reason is AMD's superior integrated graphics chip that boost the overall PC performance for "GPU/graphics limited" applications like hard-core gaming or DVD playback. However, Intel chips will shine when running CPU-intensive applications like video encoding.

iPhone: Steve Jobs visits the Apple Store in Palo Alto
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/06/iphone_steve_jobs_pays_a_visit_at_the_apple_store_in_palo_alto.php
I knew that Steve Jobs was coming to Palo Alto when I saw a PR friend of mine (Hi, Kirstin!) who's usually there when he is! How lucky though as he could have gone to Valley Fair in Cupertino (where Woz was waiting in line overnight!) or San Francisco.　But I guessed that leaving a few blocks from downtown Palo Alto, Jobs would pop inside and feel this crazy atmosphere for himself ;-)

HP After Dark with Lucia Micarelli
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/09/hp_after_hours_with_lucia_micarelli.php
TGIF... Time for a little break after a week fueled by announcements from Apple, Seagate, Intel and HP! Half-Italian, half-Korean, Lucia is both a classical violinist and a fan of "rock 'n roll". She was on stage for the "After Hours" part of the HP show in New-York. Totally fusion, totally amazing. Totally!

[CES '08] Logitech Dinovo mini
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/01/ces_08_logitech_targets_digital_living_room_windows_vista_users_video.php
The Logitech press event was kicked off this afternoon by the company's newly appointed CEO (pictured). Gerald "Jerry" Quindlen stressed the Swiss company's ever more focus on the digital living room market with products like a new Bluetooth multimedia device, the diNovo mini, that fits a keyboard and a mice in the pocket and the latest Harmony One remote control. Logitech also showed its home surveillance system that comes from its acquisition of Utah start-up WiLife last November.

Otaku Dinner Ends with Sony Rolly Show!
http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/03/hotaku_dinner.php
Tonight I was having dinner with some "otaku"/geek friends and after the foie gras, champagne, etc... the dining experience could not have been complete without showing some of the latest gadgets. Among them, I was really impressed by the Sony Rolly, an MP3 player with speakers that can move and "dance" synchronously with the tune's beat.
Our friends at Ubergizmo wrote about it a while ago but this is the first time I actually get to play with it. It's very similar to the Miuro, but without the moving ears and much much smaller. My Japanese friends told me that the team who designed the Rolly came from the now defunct Sony Aibo's project to create an MP3 player!
