Microsoft is apparently upgrading the Xbox 360 CPU early 2007 a semiconductor manufacturer said.

Chartered Semiconductor of Singapore says that they will manufacture the Xbox 360 CPU with 65nm technology. The current Xbox 360 CPU is made with 90nm.

The reason for this move can be the over heating problem and of course cutting cost. I do not think Microsoft will improve the performance of the new Xbox 360, which would cannibalize the Christmas sales if consumers would get confused and think they better wait until the Xbox 360 with a faster CPU.

IBM researchers have developed a new technology that will toughen the security of consumer products, medical devices, defense systems and digital media. Codenamed “SecureBlue,’” the new approach brings mainframe-inspired security typically only available in data centers.

SecureBlue protects the confidentiality and integrity of information on a device through encryption, encoding it to prevent unauthorized use.

SecureBlue can be built into a microprocessor chip, protecting the security of the chip and other parts of a microprocessor-based device. Because it’s hardware-based, it’s more resistant to reverse-engineering and tampering.

PC maker Fujitsu said Tuesday it will become the first company to release desktop computers compatible with the next-generation Blu-ray optical discs. The desktops with Blu-ray drives are expected to come out in Japan in June.

Fujitsu’s announcement comes one day after Toshiba unveiled a plan to launch in mid-May notebook computers that can handle HD DVD discs, which compete with Blu-ray in the market for high-definition optical discs.

Fujitsu also plans to launch notebooks with HD DVD drives in June, catering to both camps.

The new desktop PC from Fujitsu comes with a 37-inch LCD screen and is expected to sell for around $5,000 (600,000 yen), a Fujitsu representative said.

The representative added that the notebook PC was likely to retail at about $3,360–in line with the expected retail price for Toshiba’s HD-DVD compatible notebook PCs.

Another Japanese electronics maker, NEC, said Tuesday that it aims to launch HD DVD-compatible personal computers by fall and that it will consider offering PCs equipped with Blu-ray drives as well if there is demand.

At the core of both DVD formats are blue lasers, which have a shorter wavelength than the red lasers used in current DVD equipment, allowing discs to store data at the higher densities needed for high-definition movies and television.
