Computer manufacturer Dell Incorporated profits fell 11 percent at the end of January 2013 to 14.3 billion U.S. dollars following the company's plan to exit the market and become a private company.

Bloomberg called the value exceeds the estimated number of analysts who called profit company headquartered in Austin Texas USA was only 14.1 billion U.S. dollars.

"Income does not include the decrease in value per share to 40 cents, versus 39 cents forecast by analysts," said Bloomberg.

International Data Group, as published PC World, Dell has experienced record profit decline in five quarters in a row due to a decline in sales computer.

Dell Revenue from desktop and laptop computers, which comprise half of Dell's business, fell to 20 percent by the end of the fourth fiscal quarter.

"The only thing growing is the business unit (product) for Dell servers and network (segment) business reached 18 percent," said IDG.

Dell has reduced its dependence on product benefits their PC and transform itself as a "solution" which emphasizes services and software.

Previously, Michael Dell, founder of Dell, along with private equity firm Silver Lake Partners agreed to replace 24.4 billion to shareholders in order to change the status of his company to private companies.

Qualcomm today introduced the RF360, a radio frequency chip for 4G LTE mobile devices that supports multiple networks in the world.

Qualcomm RF front end solutions designed to increase performance and simplify RF OEM companies in developing multiband and multimode mobile devices, Qualcomm said in a statement on Friday.

RF360 radio frequency chip that already supports seven modes for the entire cell, including LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, WCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA 1X, TD-SCDMA, and GSM / EDGE.

Qualcomm said the solution is designed RF360 is more efficient in power consumption and performance have increased to 50 percent better than the previous generation.

"A wide range of radio frequencies used to implement a global network of 2G, 3G and 4G LTE presents ongoing challenges for designers of mobile devices. 2G and 3G technologies Where each has been implemented on a 4 to 5 different global RF bands, the inclusion of LTE brings the number of bands cell to be about 40, "said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies Inc..

Qualcomm confirms that the RF360 chip will be launched to the market in the second half of this year.

Today, Qualcomm also announced other new products, WTR1625L chip, RF transceiver devices that consume battery power 20 percent more efficient than the previous generation.

In earlier days, Qualcomm also unveiled two new mobile processors, Snapdragon Snapdragon 400 and 200.

Tricks to save battery on the Processor "8-Core"

How many pieces of the ideal number of core processors for mobile devices? One, two, four, or eight? Last number that is chosen Samsung for its latest mobile processor series, Exynos 5 Octa.

It was announced Samsung at CES stage, January 9, 2013, as if not to be outdone the other two manufacturers of processors, Nvidia and Qualcomm, which also introduced their mainstay.

While it has a number of core two times more than the previous generation processor, Exynos 5 Octa promised power saving and battery would not waste a high-end smartphone or tablet use.

Because, of the eight core Exynos owned Octa 5, only four that have high performance. The four core Cortex-A15-based architecture, just like yours Exynos processor Dual 5 is used in tablet Nexus 10. The four remaining core using Cortex-A7 base architecture that is optimized for power efficiency, not performance.

This configuration is the result of applying the concept of "big.LITTLE" from ARM. The eight core Exynos 5 Octa will share the workload dynamically according to the amount of system load. For example, browsing or other mild case handled by the core A7, A15 cores will temporarily take over while running a game or application "heavy" other.

Exynos 5 Octa will be one of the first processor that implements the concept big.LITTLE that, if not actually the first time.

The concept is slightly different from the approach taken in the processor Nvidia Tegra 3 and Tegra 4, where producers core chip it imparts an additional (companion core) can only be used when the four main core is turned off.

Exynos 5 Octa will be made with 28nm fabrication proeses promising more efficient power usage than the 32nm process used to make the Exynos Dual 5.

Problem couples graphics processors (GPU) used in SoC, Samsung does not provide specific information except the claim that its performance will be two times faster than previous generation processors.

If the processor "older generation" referred to include Samsung Exynos 4, then 5 Octa Exynos will probably be put on the Mali-T604 GPU as used by Exynos Dual 5.
