The Intel Core i9 was born to break records. The best processor from Intel will leave us many interesting headlines now that half the world seems to have set out to squeeze the limits of physics with its performance, and the protagonist of the last case of extreme overclocking has been the Intel Core i9-7900X, which even Is the most powerful of the company's processors. Even so, they have surpassed 6 GHz with it. Following the record numbers achieved by the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, and after the 7.5 GHz reached the Intel Core i7 with cooling liquid helium, this time it was the turn to the processors on the highest rung Of the Intel Core family. The Intel Core i9-7900X, with the help of liquid nitrogen cooling, has reached 6.016 MHz by the hand of a Gigabyte X299 motherboard (there is a version available for just over 300 euros right now). The author of this overclocking of the Intel Core i9-7900X has been more than well known in the SOFOS1990 world, and his feat leaves in diapers the 4.5 GHz that in the best case obtains this processor through the Turbo Boost 3.0. We are speaking, of course, of a processor whose official price in stores outstrips the 1,000 euros (and that is not the most expensive, since the Intel Core i9-7980XE - the highest range - reaches up to 2,000 euros ). In addition to the Gigabyte motherboard, to achieve this overclocking of the Intel Core i9 it was necessary to also use a DDR4 RAM of G.Skill Trident Z (whose price can reach up to 800 euros if we decide for the version of 64 GB ), A Corsair AX 1500 power supply and a 120GB Corsair Neutron GTX SSD. Since carrying the processor up to a voltage of 1.6V is an unthinkable task without a refrigeration in conditions, in this overclocking could not miss the recurring use of liquid nitrogen to keep the temperature under control. In fact, to achieve these clock speeds it is necessary for the processor to be at a temperature that could never be reached under normal conditions. In this case, the author of this record decided to decrease the temperature of the components up to -110c (as you can see in the temperature measurement apparatus in the photograph on the cover). Of course, these extreme tests serve only and exclusively to demonstrate what a processor is capable of if you apply the most crude overclocking techniques that exist today. As it comes from the factory, this i9-7900X processor is more than ready to reach 3.3 GHz clock speed without messing, a figure more than enough for everyday use that a user will make of this component.

The Windows mobile operating system no longer accounts for 2% of the phone market, but from that 2% it turns out that no less than 70% of Windows Phone users still use the outdated version of Windows Phone 8.1. This version came back in 2014, and after three years it's time to say goodbye to its official support from Microsoft. Microsoft always makes clear the official support deadlines that will receive their updates after launch, and in the case of Windows Phone 8.1 that term covered the 36 months following its launch. During that time, Windows Phone 8.1 has been receiving periodic updates with bug fixes, security enhancements and other new features, all even when Windows 10 Mobile was already available, but that has come to an end. Today, July 11, the support of this version ends. As we can see on the official Microsoft support page, support for Windows Phone 8.1 ends on July 11, 2017. From this day, updates are finished with security fixes or improvements in the system, Except in exceptional cases, Microsoft will no longer release a new version for this operating system. Therefore, users who want to stay updated will have no choice but to install once for all the mobile version of Windows 10. But beyond the end of Windows Phone 8.1 support, what has really brought to light this news is that, still today, only 20% of Windows Phone users have made the leap to Windows 10, A version that we will not forget that it has been available in the market for over a year. The reason? The fall in sales of Windows Mobile, coupled with the requirements to upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile, has left many users stuck in this version of the Windows operating system down the road.

A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a system with the ability to turn a table into a touchscreen. The project is called Desktopography and consists of a small overhead projector, depth sensors and a computer to reproduce the images on a physical surface and allow the interaction of the users. As you can see in the following video, its operation is most intuitive, since it can interact with the same gestures that are used in a conventional touch panel. You have the possibility to select and drag the elements to reorder them, adjust the size of the windows, zoom in or associate them with physical objects to move with them, among other options. According to Robert Xiao, one of the team members, the goal of Desktopography is to provide a mixed virtual physical interaction on a desktop or other surface. For this, the platform takes the interaction of the screens of our devices to merge them with our environment, so that they are part of the reality. The operation of this system is very simple. It consists of an overhead projector and a camera with depth sensors that are placed at a certain distance on the surface of the table. The first device is responsible for reproducing the images on the desktop, while the camera is recording the objects and movements of the user's hands. The user can have multiple open interfaces, organizing the spaces however they want. At the moment, Desktopography is only a prototype that will be presented at the Symposium on Engineering of interactive computer systems in Lisbon (Portugal), and its developers have not yet considered its commercialization.

IBM is working with the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop a new brain-based artificial intelligence supercomputer. The platform is powered by an array of 64 IBM TrueNorth chips whose structure mimics the synaptic connections of neurons, so it will have the ability to function as an artificial biological brain. The supercomputer system will be scalable and will have an end-to-end software ecosystem that will enable both deep neural network learning and information discovery. Its sensory processing power will be equivalent to 64 million neurons and 16 million synapses, which will allow it to be much more efficient than systems powered by conventional chips. This system fits into a 4U rack space, in a standard server rack, and eight of these systems will allow an unprecedented scale of 512 million neurons per rack. A single processor is made up of 5.4 million transistors organized in 4,096 neuronal nuclei that create an array of one million digital neurons that communicate with each other through 256 million electrical synapses. The new TrueNorth neurosynaptic system can translate data from multiple sensors, such as images or video, into symbols in real time and efficiently. The AFRL will combine these perceptual abilities similar to those of the human brain with the symbol processing qualities of traditional computer systems. The large scale of the system will allow both data parallelism, which is a programming paradigm where multiple data sources can be run in parallel against the same neural network, as well as model parallelism, in which the independent neural networks form a Set that can be executed in parallel on the same data. As for its practical applications, the new supercomputing system being developed by IBM and AFRL will be used to obtain new computing capabilities that enable the exploration, prototyping and demonstration of high impact technologies of the Air Force.

The Windows ecosystem has suffered severe attacks in recent weeks with both the WannaCry ransomware and the Petya. While it is true that Windows 10 is a safer operating system and the only one that can stand up to these types of infections without emergency security patches, not everyone has their installation on the computer. According to Reuters, both India and Microsoft are finalizing a deal to significantly reduce Windows 10 licenses in that country, and that as a result of the recent ransomware attacks. Currently in India 94% of computer users have a Windows system installed, but very few with Windows 10. This agreement could create a win-win relationship by which both players could be victorious. Negotiations began following WannaCry's attacks, and the agreement would be close to being announced, local officials said. Currently the price of Windows 10 in India is $ 124 to change the Home version and $ 232 the pro version, a high amount for the socioeconomic level of the country. The good news is that Microsoft could also be in talks with other countries around the world to offer a discount on the price of Windows 10, which could ease the transition to older operating system users. It should be remembered that the upgrade to Windows 10 was free for users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 during the first 12 months of the availability of the operating system.

The big update of Windows 10 that will arrive later this year, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, will not finally bring with it one of its most striking novelties: Timeline, or also known as "Timeline." To the surprise of the community, this new version of Windows 10 will dispense with a novelty that, we recall, would allow you to go back to previous actions from an intuitive menu integrated into the interface. When Windows 10 Fall Creators Update was introduced, one of the novelties in which Microsoft put special emphasis was that of Timeline, which as we can see in this video was a new section in the Windows interface that allowed Resume previous tasks in a very simple way. This function, as its name implies, consisted of a timeline in which each task we had done in previous days was compiled as a shortcut. Finally, Timeline will not arrive with the Fall Creators Update. Microsoft has just confirmed through statements by Joe Belfiore, who has revealed that to receive this feature we will have to wait for some of the following major Windows 10 updates. For now, it is clear that with Fall Creators Update will not come. Timeline was presented as a feature whose main advantage was "to resume tasks where you left them". Rather than having to resort to different combinations of keys, the user could return to a previous task from an interface in which each task was compiled into a history organized by days. Everything that the user had done on the computer appeared on this interface, so it was very easy to continue with a work of - for example - a document in Word exactly where we had left days before. In any case, Microsoft has defended itself against the accusations assuring that Timeline was not at any time a planned novelty for the Fall Creators Update; Although it is true that the company showed this functionality during its last event for developers, say from Redmond that from the first moment it was expected that its deployment was made to wait until the next update of operating system. Therefore, Timeline will no longer arrive until 2018.

The eternal comparative and debate about itself is better AMD or Intel has warmed up a lot in 2017. At the moment, it seems that Intel retains the first place in sales, although with more and more problems to keep at bay its main competitor. The successful launch of the new AMD Ryzen processors has increased and much the market share of this manufacturer. According to market research data, AMD Ryzen has boosted the number of AMD processor devices by 10%, reducing Intel's overwhelming dominance by the way. These data are shocking because they multiply by five the growth of AMD only in the second quarter of 2017, showing a behavior that in the medium and long term can be devastating. Apparently, the announcement of the new Intel Core i9 has not been enough to counteract the relationship between quality and price of AMD Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5 and new chips for professionals. The company is still betting on cheaper processors than Intel, although this time the performance is almost even, an irresistible claim for many users. If we consider the data since the beginning of 2017, the number of devices that equip AMD-Rouzen processors or not - has grown by 53%. Particularly strong is the growth in the mid-low segment of the market, on computers that are equipped with cheaper gaming processors but capable of running some of the latest PC video games. The only glitches you can put to this comparative AMD and Intel sales are its limitations. Only the growth of new devices is measured, not the computers and consoles that were already on the market. It is also limited to Windows 10 as the only operating system, leaving out MacOS and Linux, among others. Despite the perks that can be put to PassMark information, it is clear that 2017 is a very good year for AMD, whose growth expectations are stable or increase in the face of the remainder of the year and 2018. Overcoming Intel continues Being a chimera, at least in the medium term, although it seems that the reaction must be immediate. It would not be the first great company to lose its dominant position in a very short time.

The chaos and consequences of WannaCry and Peyta computer viruses in recent weeks has led to increased cyber security measures by companies and official bodies. The last to join was Germany, which fears being a victim of possible cyber attacks during the G20 summit. This meeting will take place on July 7 and 8 in Hamburg and will be attended by 19 countries and the European Union as the only representative, which will address the defense of free trade and climate change. In order to prevent any digital altercation, the German authorities have established a special command center that will be operational 24 hours in order to defend against this type of cyber attacks. Germany's main virtual concerns during the G20 celebration range from computer vulnerabilities and cyber threats to attacks by expert hacking groups like Anonymous or Lulzsec. In order to avoid any of them occurring, in the last hours they have realized "Pentesting" or penetration tests with which they can guarantee the security of the computer networks during the celebration of this summit. This practice is to test a computer system, network or web application to find vulnerabilities where an attacker could enter. With this test, Germany takes precautionary measures against cyber attacks during the G20 celebration where dozens of cyber experts are working to respond if it occurs. While they are currently not aware of any possible computer actions, it has been decided to protect computer networks, surveillance cameras and other security equipment, as explained by Arne Schoenbohm, President of the Federal Office for Security of Germany Information (BSI). The security measures come after the attacks being received by the German parliament and political parties and that could alternate the outcome of the next elections in Germany.

How many of us have ever browsed our name? Surely the vast majority, and we have done it more than once to know what information appears on the net about us. On many occasions we can not control the search results thrown at us. Sometimes we have been angry or surprised to see that search results return sensitive information, which we do not want to be public. In these cases we have several options. One of them is to configure alerts to let us know when we are mentioned on the Internet. Another one is to delete this content that appears. Within this, the most frequent demands as users is to leave no trace of our navigation, to stop filling the autocomplete data of the forms, to disappear from the network once deceased or to have the possibility to eliminate our medical history of Google. Unfortunately, theft of confidential data housed in databases of hospitals or medical centers happens more frequently than desired. Hackers steal and sell to third parties, which publish it in the cloud without our consent. A security breach that has consequences: identity theft, financial fraud, among other crimes. That is why it is important that from now on there is the option to ask the searcher to delete these results and prevent them from continuing to appear when we type our name in the search engine. Such a significant change with which Google is positioned in the intense debate about where to locate the limits of the search engine and where the privacy of users. How can we erase our medical history from Google? As we see in this image, within the English version of the Google privacy policy page now reads as follows: "Google will remove confidential records, medical personnel of people deprived of search results." Likewise, this section reflects that the measure will be extended to national identification numbers (such as social security numbers), credit cards, bank account numbers, signature on images and pornographic content to which you do not have Given consent. It is foreseen that this measure will appear during the next days in the Spanish version and in the other languages. To remove our medical history from the internet we will simply have to go to the bottom of the results page and click on the option "remove information that is seen in Google search". Then a page will open where we will have to answer a series of questions and where we insert the link that we want it to disappear. By performing these steps we will not appear in the results indexed by the search engine.

Little by little the business conglomerate of Amazon is extending to unsuspected areas. If a few weeks ago the company led by Jeff Bezos landed in the distribution of fresh food, now wants to do it in the translation. There, the Amazon translator will be confined to that of Google, the most po[CENSORED]r on the Internet. Amazon Web Services is the name of the service under which a whole series of Amazon subsidiary companies are grouped. They are responsible for providing services to third parties such as the translation of their web pages. It is a business in which Amazon believes it can make a lot of money, and so it prepares to enter. Until now, Amazon's machine translation software is only used on its own websites. It is the tool, for example, to translate the description of your products into dozens of languages automatically. However, someone in the company must have thought about the business possibilities it offers. According to CNBC, the translator would first be available to other companies willing to pay for it. It remains to be seen whether Amazon will launch a translator like Google's, for the base user, or will be limited to the business sector. What is clear is that there is full confidence in the accuracy of its software, which has to defeat not only the Google but also the Microsoft. Among all Amazon projects there are several original and curious. Buying Whole Foods, the eco-friendly grocery store, is just one more. The distribution of its products with drones is another, although today its main business is still the sale of third party items with delivery in the shortest possible time. In countries such as Spain, the company's strength has already taken its CEO, Jeff Bezos, to the list of the richest in the world. The possibility of receiving an order on the same day thanks to Amazon Prime is an advantage difficult to match by any other company.

Although the virtual SIM or eSIM has many advantages over the traditional SIM card, its use has not yet been extended to our terminals, and according to the latest data offered by IHS Market will not reach our mobiles until 2018. It is a technology with a lot of potential to facilitate the connection to the mobile networks but, although it was introduced there in 2013, its implementation has been delayed due to the lack of a set of specifications suitable for the consumer. At present there are very few devices that incorporate it, for example some variants of the iPad Pro or the smartwatch Samsung Gear S2. The GSMA, an international organization that brings together telecom operators and manufacturers around the world, has been working for years to include the virtual SIM in our devices, and finally in 2016 it passed the first eSIM standard for tablets and wearables. Approval of the second standard, which is affecting smartphones, is expected by the end of this year, so the first steps will be carried out in 2018 and will not be until 2019 when manufacturers will incorporate the virtual SIM in their devices In a generalized way. The efforts of Microsoft, Intel and Qualcomm are also helping to push the implementation of the eSIM. The three companies have partnered to develop a new generation of PCs with support for the virtual SIM. Without going any further, Redmond confirmed at the end of last year that Windows 10 will be compatible with this new format, which will also include support for 5G, and will allow the user to contract or modify their data rate directly from the desktop. In case you are not clear about the concept, SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module in Spanish and was introduced in 1991. It is a plastic card with different dimensions according to its type that is introduced in a device and that brings together All the information on the telephone line, with the identification data and the necessary keys so that the operator can identify the services contracted and carry out the billing. The eSIM is the evolution of the traditional SIM. This technology allows to integrate all the information of the physical card in the processor or in the modem of the devices. For example, in the case of Intel the virtual SIM will be compatible with its XMMTM 7260 modem and the XMM 7360, and Qualcomm incorporates the technology in the Snapdragon 835 processor. In addition, devices that are equipped with traditional SIM slot can use an adapter for Go to the eSIM, so there's nothing to worry about. Another advantage of the new format is that you do not have to request a new card with company changes. Thanks to the GSMA's Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) specification it is possible to store and adopt various profiles or accounts, so switching operators will be easier and there will be no need to visit a physical store.
