PS3 'Becomes' 40!The Big Daddy-120!!

No, not 40 years old, I'm talking about the new 40GB version of the PS3!
This is simply awesome.The always powerful but pricey PS3 has finally gone low enough for shallow-pocket buyers to consider.This could easily make it one of the most value-for-money multimedia entertainment solutions available right now, considering it has a Blu-Ray drive and HD capabilities.
The price has gone down from [approx, for 60GB] Rs 32,000 to Rs 24,990!
Also since Blu-Ray has won the format war, I might just say Microsoft's Xbox 360 is gonna take a pretty decent hit...
The PS3 when compared to the Xbox or Nintendo Wii, is good value taking into consideration the stuff you get by spending the extra money.
ALSO, it seems there is a 120GB PS3 also coming up!That is much needed, since 60GB [that too a hard disk] for a multimedia device is nothing to brag about.I honestly feel it could use 320GB, if not more!
The 40GB is a great buy right now.
What PS3 now needs the most I feel, is-A SLIMLINE VERSION!A low profile PS3 would look just deadly.
Till then, lets just enjoy what is already available!

45 nm Core2 Extreme!

It used to be 'Extreme'ly powerful, now its extremely small as well!!
The Core2 Extreme QX9650 has arrived, now with 45 nm transistors.
This means better energy efficiency, more power and in general-better utilisation of space, as a lot more of 45nm transistors can be embedded on a given silicon wafer than 65nm ones, thus contributing to better performance on the same space.
Intel hasn't done this too early, since AMD is hot on their heels with the Phenom 9000 series, the real quad-core chip.
There is also a QX9770 and QX9775,the former having a 3.2Ghz clock, and an earth shattering 1600Mhz FSB!!!Too cool isn't it?Hope they bring out another with 2000Mhz FSB next!!!
Lets hope they keep it coming!
