Intel 22nm Ivy Bridge Processors Launching on April 8

Rumors are floating around the web that Intel plans to release a total of 25 different 22nm Ivy Bridge processors on or around April 8, 2012. The sources say that 17 of the CPUs will be for desktops and the other eight are for notebooks and ultrabooks. With the new processors also comes new chipsets and those will be the Z77, H77, Z75 and B75 in April and then the Q77 and Q75 in May. We don't know why Intel pushed off the launch of these processors, but if we had to guess we would have to think it's a combination of a slowing market and that they are trying to clear out the Sandy Bridge processors that are still plentiful in the channel. Intel has the performance lead when it comes to processors, so why rush things?

Desktop CPUs to be unveiled include quad-core Core i7-3770K, 3770, 3770S, 3770T, and Core i5-3570, 3550 and 3450, with prices ranging from US$184-332.

Microsoft stop to support for Windows XP SP2

If you are still running Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2), you have until July 13 to upgrade. The SP2 version reaches the end of its life on July 13, after which there will be no more updates.

Windows XP, a very robust and secure operating system, has a market share of around 63 per cent globally, followed by Vista with 21 per cent market share and Windows 7 with 9.40 per cent, according to StatCounter GlobalStats, but Windows 7 spreading fast.

Microsoft has informed corporates and customers about the switchover and if XP users for some reason cannot download the SP3 upgrade can call support centre at 04-3917000 or get in on a disc from Microsoft at a reasonable price.

The other alternative is to upgrade to Windows 7, which has gained a big market share.

But this requires much more effort, because there is no in-place upgrade from XP: you have to do a clean installation. Moving to Windows 7 also costs more, at the same time SP3 is free.

XP users will have to upgrade eventually, because support will end on April 8, 2014, and for those still running a version of Windows 2000, all formal support channels will close on July 13, 2010 with online support to continue until at least July 2011.
