Samsung Electronics’ 60GHz Wi-Fi Technology

Accelerates Data Transmission by Five Times

 

Commercially viable 60GHz millimeter-wave band Wi-Fi technology

to benefit wide variety of connected devices

 

Samsung Electronics announced the development of its 60GHz Wi-Fi technology that enables data transmission speeds of up to 4.6Gbps, or 575MB per second, a five-fold increase from 866Mbps, or 108MB per second, the maximum speed possible with existing consumer electronics devices. As a result, a 1GB movie will take less than three seconds to transfer between devices, while uncompressed high-definition videos can easily be streamed from mobile devices to TVs in real-time without any delay.

 

“Samsung has successfully overcome the barriers to the commercialization of 60GHz millimeter-wave band Wi-Fi technology, and looks forward to commercializing this breakthrough technology,” said Kim Chang Yong, Head of DMC R&D Center of Samsung Electronics. “New and innovative changes await Samsung’s next-generation devices, while new possibilities have been opened up for the future development of Wi-Fi technology.”

 

Unlike the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi technologies, Samsung’s 802.11ad standard 60GHz Wi-Fi technology maintains maximum speed by eliminating co-channel interference, regardless of the number of devices using the same network. By doing so, Samsung’s new technology removes the gap between theoretical and actual speeds, and exhibits actual speed that is more than 10 times faster than that of 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi technologies.

 

Until now, there have been significant challenges in commercially adopting 60GHz Wi-Fi technology , as millimeter waves that travel by line-of-sight has weak penetration properties and is susceptible to path loss, resulting in poor signal and data performance. By leveraging millimeter-wave circuit design and high performance modem technologies and by developing wide-coverage beam-forming antenna, Samsung was able to successfully achieve the highest quality, commercially viable 60GHz Wi-Fi technology.

 

In addition, Samsung also enhanced the overall signal quality by developing the world’s first micro beam-forming control technology that optimizes the communications module in less than 1/3,000 seconds, in case of any changes in the communications environment. The company also developed the world’s first method that allows multiple devices to connect simultaneously to a network.

 

As is the case with the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, the 60GHz is an unlicensed band spectrum across the world, and commercialization is expected as early as next year. Samsung plans to apply this new technology to a wide range of products, including audio visual and medical devices, as well as telecommunications equipment. The technology will also be integral to developments relevant to the Samsung Smart Home and other initiatives related to the Internet of Things.

No more interference!

If you expected a massive performance increase when we knew it would go to maxwell meaning it would be more focused on power draw and TDP then you just disappointed yourself

the specs might not be, but the aesthetic is fucking sexc

I've had this build done for many months, but I'm finally making a thread. It's going to be upgraded with an R9 285 4GB whenever those become available. (I'm sorry if this is a super poopy build log, I've never done one before >.>)
 
The case, an NZXT H230, was very minimal and instantly caught my eye as fitting the Mirror's Edge aesthetic. Inside, I wanted the coloring to represent more of her "heart", so I went with reds and blacks. No modding was done, but if it wasn't evident, I'm on a SUPER tight budget haha
 
AMD 7700K (Zalman CNPS5X)
GIGABYTE F2A88X-UP4
8GB Corsair Vengeance
Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 2GB
NZXT HALE82 700W
NZXT H230
Seagate Barracuda 500GB
LG MODISC Combo Drive
 
I'm very happy with how things turned out and it wasn't a super expensive rig either. I did decide to go with the A88X platform since this seems more viable in the future and where AMD is focused. My close friend got my old FX 6300 based rig sans the 7790, which was objectively better but I was tired of looking at it and it was kinda of ugly. I'm a shallow person... Which is also why I ended up ditching the watercooler. The cramped tubing really did not look great and it's not like this processor needs WC.

But Google stuff actually works.. So why not use it?
 
Works + innovating is good enough for me.
 
Firefox has a lot of junk, doesn't run as smoothly, nor does the UI look as good as as intuitive as I want it to.

Even though this is the best forum I have ever been to, it's starting to lose its charm with all of the twats that are signing up and being complete ignorant dicks to everyone. There also seem to be a lot of people that completely ignore what someone says (opinion or not). But, with that out of the way, there are a lot of pretty nice people here.

So it will be a while before Guinness sorts through our footage to validate the world world for themselves, but it was definitely the highest altitude LAN party (okay... someone on a plane could have gamed higher up, but we're talking while still on land here) EVER!
 
This project was a blast and wouldn't have been possible without help from a LOT of people including the Tek Syndicate team, Austin Evans, the NeweggTV guys, and OF COURSE our sponsors.


 
Huge thanks first to ASUS for providing us with the router we used at the top, the funding we needed to get our teams out there, and of course a dozen of their latest RoG gaming notebook the G550JK, which you can check out in this video here:
 

 
Oh... and did I mention in the above video I've got details for how you can WIN the very notebook that I gamed on at the top of the mountain? Did I also mention that it's signed by me, Logan, Paul, Kyle, Luke, and Qain????
 
But don't worry if you don't win one. Newegg's got a deal going right now where you get an exclusive bundle if you buy one at this link. Check it out!
 
http://bit.ly/g550jk 


 
Our next big thank you goes out to Intel. They partnered with us to help pay many of the people involved including members of our teams. Oh and I guess they also made the efficient quad core Core i7 processors that went inside the G550JK notebooks we carried up the mountain. If they consumed more power and output more heat, then those would have been pretty difficult to lug up there!


 
Speaking of difficult to lug, our final sponsor, Corsair, was probably laughing at us when they sent their (awesomely built, but a touch heavy) all new Vengeance K95 and K70 RGB keyboards to us to game with at the summit. I cannot fault the build quality of these outstanding keyboards, and as long as the one I get once they're released ends up sitting on my desk instead of strapped to my back, then everything is going to be okay...

When people say 1080P, they mean 1080p 60Hz. SLI 780Ti is overkill for that, but isn't for 120Hz. I've never seen anyone say that SLI is overkill for 120Hz. 

That's dark brown too, GlassBomb and Dragoon.
 
$60 and below there's nothing. Real matte black is usually reserved for higher end stuff. The Gigabyte G1 Sniper FM2+ board and another enthusiast Gigabyte FM2+ board are black, but they are $109.99 (NewEgg) last I checked.

You mean nVidia?

Chinese sources have indicated that AMD has been working on an all new from the ground-up high-performance core for two years now led by Jim Keller the engineer behind the original Athlon XP & Athlon 64.
This new architecture is supposedly going back to AMD's traditional multi-core approach with no modularity or resource sharing.
The new core is set to follow Excavator which will be released next year.

Sources : 1 2 3

UPDATE :
The Chinese sources unanimously referenced "wall street" as their source, conveniently an interview with AMD's CEO Rory Read has just been published on WSJ.
 
Interestingly enough AMD's (and Intel's) high performance cores are always designed for servers. Both Bulldozer & Piledriver were engineered specifically with servers in mind. So it seems AMD's CEO has inadvertently reaffirmed the rumors floating around.

UPDATE 2 : This has been officially confirmed and is no longer a rumor. AMD is working on a new "from scratch" x86 high performance core along with a "sister" ARM core dubbed K12.

Jim Keller talking about K12 and "next-gen" x86 core @ AMD's Core Innovation Summit May 2014.

You can watch the full one and a half hour event here.

*cough* a follow on from this *cough*
 
This is really great news, and its not a repost goml @KakaoDj .
 
So this wasnt expected, im surprised by the specs, the architecture is crazy, they barely use any power.
 
When i saw the amount of cuda cores, memory and clocks i lost it. 
 
But they are here, brace yourselves. 
 
Put on some dramatic music. 
 
Give it up for the
 
GT 705
 
GT 710
 
and lastly
 
the 
GT 720
 
Boosting the uncanny arcs of Fermi and Kelper
 
Relying on the joys of rebadging.
 
This is a great moment indeed.
 
This day should become a international holiday(even though its easter holiday already for some people)
 
Well then what the **** are we waiting for better dive in.
 
First up the gt 705
 

 
This sexy thing is a rebadge of the gt 610 which was a rebadge of gt 520. spicy. 
 
Let me throw some numbers at you
48 CUDA CORES 64 BIT MEMORY BUS a jesus tier of only 29watts under full load An awesome process size of 40nm If i was you id wait for the classified or lightning versions of this card, you could maybe push it up by 1000mhz.
 
Next up the...
 
GT 710
 

 
This lady killer isnt a rebadge of the of Gt 620, whats this madness, its a rebadge of the gt 630, actually no its not, this is a cut down gt 630, madness is it, whatever.
 
Lets get down to the stats
Uses the genetically superior pci-e gen 2.0 lane. supports DX 11 has 512mb of memory, wait a sec thats less then the 705, i guess the AMD marketers went to nvidia for a day. Thats all i can say about that card, I recommed you wait for a sapphire version, even though this is nvidia im sure a 8gb vram version will be arriving soon after launch.
 
LASTLY
 
the new god('s servant),
 
the new flagship(mascot),
 
Here it is the GT 720
 

 
This you might notice is the same as the above card but its superior.
 
Its not a half rebrand, ITS A FULL REBRAND.
 
This card has a full 1gb of vram. If you convert that to bytes its 1.0737 X 10^9 which is a big number, if you tried to count to that number it would take... A LONG TIME.
 
Unlike the ferocity of the above cards, this one is on a whole new level, those cards have a straightly 1 smx unit whereas this dragonslayer has 2 smx units. THATS 200% THE PERFORMANCE, i think.
 
It also has the DNA of the gtx titan, the 680, 770, titan black, titan brown, every voodoo card and that crazy tall guy from fractal.
 
Well then its been great but thats everything ive got today lads, follow EVGA's step up plans because im sure you titan wielders will be gunning for one of these beauties soon.

@LinusTech  You know you love these cards.

So, I had the idea to throw my old computer together again and see how much extra juice I can squeeze out of it.
 
I put it all into an old case with my precious air cooler, an all copper heatsink with a 4000RPM blower fan on top.
 
Specs:
P4 3.0GHz with HyperThreading
3GB DDR 400MHz RAM
80GB 7200RPM HDD with my old install of XP with quite a few issues
Geforce 7600GS 512MB
Asus P4P8X motherboard ($15 off eBay years ago.)
Turbolink 420W PSU
 
I replaced the thermal paste on the north bridge and taped an intake fan onto the back of the case. (Don't want my north bridge to melt and change colors like @tmcclelland455 did.) I also stuck a temperature probe into it with my dad's multimeter since it has no temperature sensor. Also, I couldn't find one of the clips for the heatsink so I had to make do with a couple zip ties.
 
Right now the CPU is running 44C at 1.575 volts. (WOW) The BIOS allows the CPU to go all the way up to just under 2 volts.. The CPU fan does sound like a jet engine though.. (Motherboard has no fan control support and I can't find my little fan controller thingy.)
 
I'm using 3DMark06 for my benchmarking. With everything at stock speeds I got 1964 points.

(That's in F, not C)

The amount of ghettoness is very high in this one, I like it. 

Ok, I'll probably get trolled by this thread as BS, but I read a few posts on other forums and someone posted they flashed their XFX R9 290 card to an Asus 290X bios and unlocked all their shaders. Well since I own two XFX 290 cards which I have posted results on a build thread I did on this forum
 
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/75201-gtx670-trisli-to-r9-290-xfire-watercooled/
 
and with the bios switch on reference card, I thought what the hell! I'll try it myself.
 
Here's what I got.
 
Screenshot of the 290 pre flash
 

 
 
Screenshot of the 290 post flash
 

 
Now I did have to flash the second card again as GPU-Z was showing an anomaly but after successful second flash it reported just like the first card. I have rebooted and restarted gpu-z many times and so far it has reported the same amount over and over again. I could be dreaming but this could very well be a reality that I now have a 290X in xfire!
 
So of course the next step is to do some testing.....here are my results so far. Both pre flash and post flash are clocked the same (1100Mhz/1300Mhz mem so far) What I have noticed though is under the Asus bios I had to up the voltage to 1.3 for it to run successfully at this speed under heaven benchmark, yet there was no voltage bump needed with the 290 bios.
 
Valley Benchmark
 
Xfx R9 290 bios

 
Asus R9 290X bios

 
 
Heaven Benchmark (again, had to up the voltage to 1.3v for the Asus flash)
 
Xfx R9 290 bios

 
Asus R9 290X flash

 
 
Looks like the 6950 to 6970 days could be back. However I take no responsibility for anyone screwing up their cards if they attempt this. I have also read that a few with Sapphire and other cards it didn't work, so who knows if all cards will be able to convert.
 
Back to more benchmarks....more to come....

You're comparing apples and oranges mate..

I would quote more but I'm tired of looping video over and over to type.
 
but I wish people on this forum would have a more open mind than "zomg AMD Mantle, nvidia is doomed, AMD wins". I find this a much more insightful and intelligent discussion of the GPU landscape and what AMD Mantle what could really mean

ummm... no. There are FM2 athlons that are pretty much 4100s without l3 cache; please make sure you know what you know what you're talking about before you call me a "dumb ass" or anyone else for that matter.

In the best mood ever right now and I'm about to go out for dinner, but I want to thank a few others as well as our forum community.
 
Missing Pets in BC has a great Facebook page that I wish more people were aware of. It's great that I have this huge (and awesome) group of people to help support me with something like this, but not everyone does, so I'd love for everyone who reads this to take a couple moments to find out if there's a similar local organiziation or facebook page or something and give them a like. What they do is so important to so many people.

They do more than just post the pets, but they can give advice and support about what information to provide and local animal shelters and the like.
 
I'm just so glad he's coming home... The last time I went out looking for him I didn't knock on doors... I was actually trying to see if I could smell decaying flesh in the woods near my house because I just wanted to know what happened to him...I tried not to but sometimes at night I couldn't help but lie there and think about how much it must have hurt to die from being eaten alive... And that that's what probably happened to my baby... I'm so glad he's safe. Even if whoever found him decided they didn't want to give him back, I would still be so happy to know he's okay... The fact that I'm getting him back is unbelievable.

You realise the AIO coolers are meant to keep your PC quiet whilst keeping it relatively cool also?
