Google OS be from Next week?

Google awaiting Chrome OS be on Download from Next week.When first announcing the project back in July, Google had pledged to make its source code available before the end of the year. This rumor seems to be in line with those promises. However, without proper driver support the operating system will be useless to the average user. By the sound of it next week's release will most likely be just a collection of code meant for software developers to tinker with.

As earlier reported, Google's operating system is built on a Linux foundation and should be very Web-centric. Chrome OS applications will run right in the browser, and they'll be cross-compatible with other standards-compliant browsers on other platforms. Companies like Acer, Asus and HP are reportedly backing the project and may have netbooks running Chrome OS ready for customers in the second half of 2010.

AMD has introduced new X86 Architectures , AMD Bulldozer and Bobcat Architectures Out.Bobcat is AMD's new mobile platform and Bulldozer is focused on servers, each branch away from traditional designs to cater to their specific markets. Bobcat, for instance, will feature extremely low power requirements, with thermal envelopes under a single watt.

Initially based on a 32nm process, the new Bulldozer chips will feature multiple sets of pipelines that share a single 128bit FPU, as well as L2 and L3 cache. It's speculated the CPU will be capable of executing a minimum of four instructions per cycle, and quite possibly double that. Unfortunately AMD has been very light on specific details, and were more interested in announcing timeframes than design specifics.

In 2011, Brazos platform will be introduced with dual-core Bobcat architecture based chips and "Ontario" APU (accelerated processing unit). This in true sense would Intel Atom competitor and it would be interesting to see whether AMD introduces at lower price points

Advanced MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (H.264) encoding provides support for HD and SD sources, and a built-in format converter can downconvert HD content for recording to a standard DVD.The units support BD-R or BD-RE (erasable) Blu-ray discs.

The JVC SR-HD1500 has 500GB drive, RS-232C terminal and support for .MOV files while SR-HD1250 has a 250GB hard drive and comes without the RS-232C and .MOV support. They are priced at $2550 and $1995 respectively and will be available in October 2009
