AMD put
antivirus tech into chips |
|
AMD technology
contained in AMD's Athlon 64 chips, prevents a buffer overflow, a
common method used to attack computers. A buffer overflow
essentially overwhelms a computer's defense systems and then inserts
a malicious program in memory that the processor subsequently
executes.With Execution Protection, data in the buffer can only be
read and, therefore, is prevented from doing its dirty work |

New chip gives
PCs supercomputing muscle |
|
A computer chip
that will enable personal computers to perform some calculations as
fast as some supercomputers developed by ClearSpeed Technologies,
based in California, the CS301 chip is capable of 25 gigaflops - 25
billion "floating point" calculations per second. These arithmetical
calculations are also a common measure of computing power. |
