Computer Acronym HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.

It is a digital alternative to consumer analog standards, such as composite video, S-Video, VGA (also called D-sub or DE-15F). HDMI connects digital audio/video sources (such as set-top boxes, DVD players, HD DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, AVCHD camcorders, personal computers (PCs), video game consoles (such as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U), AV receivers, tablet computers, and mobile phones) to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, video projectors, and digital televisions. The HDMI specification defines the protocols, signals, electrical interfaces and mechanical requirements of the standard. The maximum pixel clock rate for HDMI 1.0 was 165 MHz, which was sufficient to support 1080p and WUXGA (19201200) at 60 Hz. HDMI 1.3 increased that to 340 MHz, which allows for higher resolution (such as WQXGA, 25601600) across a single digital link. Computer Jargon AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) AMD is a manufacturer of processor chips for PCs, including the Athlon and Duron chips. AMD is the second-largest global supplier of microprocessors based on the x86 architecture and also one of the largest suppliers of graphics processing units. AMD, is the only significant rival to Intel in the central processor (CPU) market. Computer Scientist Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang Taiwanese - American entrepreneur and businessman. A native of Taiwan, he grew up in Oregon, graduated from Oregon State University before moving to California where he also graduated in Stanford University. He co-founded the graphics-processor company Nvidia and serves as its president and CEO. As of 2008, Forbes listed him as the 61st highest paid CEO in a list of U.S. CEOs. Huang received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University in 1984, and his master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992. Huang pledged to give his alma mater Stanford University US$30 million for building the "Jen-Hsun Huang School of Engineering Center." The building is the second of four that will comprise Stanford's new Science and Engineering Quad. It was designed by Boora Architects of Portland, Oregon. Huang was the recipient in 2007 of the Silicon Valley Education Foundation's Pioneer Business Leader Award for his work in both the corporate and philanthropic worlds.

Computer Article Intel on Monday announced what it called its fastest chip to date for PCs, the six-core Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor, which is based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and designed for use in high-end desktops. The processor is targeted at enthusiasts such as gamers and is compatible with the new Intel X79 Express chipset. The Core i7-3960X runs at a default clock speed of 3.3GHz, cranking up to 3.9GHz per core depending on performance required, using Intel's Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. The chip has 15MB of L2 cache and four channels of memory. On the other hand, the new CPU is compatible with the new LGA2011 socket and due to architectural changes, the chip packs the memory controller but not any integrated graphics, meaning that you won't get the Quick Sync feature either - a very efficient way to transcode videos. It supports quad-channel DDR3 memory and PCI E 3.0 which runs faster than its predecessor The chip is priced at US$990 for 1,000 units. It will compete with the AMD's eight-core FX-series chips, which started shipping last month. Intel also introduced the six-core Core i7-3930K chip, which operates at 3.2GHz and can be clocked up to 3.8GHz. The chip has 12MB of cache, four memory channels, and is priced at $555. The Intel Core i7-3960X and the Intel Core i7-3930K are fully unlocked so overclockers and enthusiasts who want to modify performance settings can do so with simple utilities. The Intel X79 Express chipset that supports this new LGA 2011 socket platform delivers 6Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) ports and additional PCIe 2.0 lanes. The CPUs are connected to the chipset through DMI 20GB/s, The X79 Express chipset also supports USB 2.0 x 14, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express x1 X 8, SATA 6Gbps X 2, SATA 3Gbps X 4 and HD audio. Intel is offering an aluminum cooler with the new processor priced at about $20. This cooler will be efficient enough to dissipate the heat off processors with 130 W TDP. A liquid cooling solution is also available for overclocking enthusiasts. Priced at $90, it has been designed by Asetek. In this case they offer a modification with a radiator large enough for a single 120 mm fan. The cooling efficiency of this liquid-cooling system is lower than that of high-performance air-coolers so Intel's specific offering may not be so successful. The Core i7 3960X may be the world's fastest desktop CPU, but it seems to require a heavily threaded workload to prove it. The 3960X should not be any slower than the fastest Sandy Bridge CPUs, but it should also not be tremendously faster either.
