News start to leak out in regards as to what the manufacturers will be introducing at 2010 CeBit in Hannover.

- NVIDIA to announce their ION2, but now named as ION 2010. This chipset works with the newer Atom – Pinetrail.

- ASUS will introduce its series of AMD 890GX+SB850 boards at the show.

- Biostar with its high performance mainboards H55HD, TA890GXE (GTO 63 on TA890GXE), BIO-unLocking.

I am looking forward to be on site to report more interesting news.

From Finland ...

Curious of NVIDIA is going have anything new there

We should be surprised (hopefully). With all the delays with the new Fermi until April, at least I would like to see some sort of demonstration. We'll see.

cheers ...

Got home at last. Loads of pics and reports to share.

1st impression:

. Gamers paradise
. 3D is the main theme and not to be disappointed
. Be in on the back of Barcelona Mobile Congress sure took some air out of the area

cheers ...

This is what nVidia presence was ... A small box to show some 3D performance with the Femi ....

The latest winner from this year CeBIT - over 200.000 visitors for the PC Games-Cinéma!

Meaning? A competition where it was being live broadcast in the Hall.



This year Tim Fogarty (Florida USA) came here alone - others play in the 5-man team - and is now in the final stretch for a $20K plus prize.



First time ever I learned that it is not so simple to be a game competitor. A regiment of 6 hrs of training daily, no coffee (doh??), no Fastfood (hmm), only lots of salad (tell that to my Mum), water and fitness. Pain !





cheers ...

CeBIT 2010 ended on 6.Mar with a positive balance from the eyes of the participants. Investment and commitment of over 10 Billion Euro changed hands during the 5-days event (one short from the tradition 6) with 4.157 kiosks - a big drop from previous year. The number of visitors saw an increase from the year before. This is according to the President of BITKOM, August-Wilheim Scheer.

Works are in motion to expand, or shall we say to open, CeBIT structure to cater private users this coming 2011. This would open the door to entrepreneurs that do not qualify as big businesses in the future. This would also take in consideration of new introduction during the year leading up to the convention, as to not turning off enthusiastic consumers.

Tentatively we would see CeBIT to encompass:

- "CeBIT Pro" as it is in current business format
- "CeBIT Gov" where it would concentrate in government products
- "CeBIT Lab" for University and Research
- "CeBIT Life" for consumers

With this expansion consumers would see a clear push toward "Cloud Computing" that currently plays an important role in IT and Media Businesses. This also only makes sense since private usage commands more than 1/3 of the Internet/Electronics businesses.

This also serves as a continuation of this year themes of "connected worlds" where emphasis was on networking and net-communications, in parallel to "Green IT" where energy usage and saving are being stressed. For the later we have seen new notebooks and PCs wich are energy efficient yet still delivering powerful performance.



See everyone next year!
