Intel has launched its latest range of processors, code-named Skylake, targeting everything from high-powered teams playing computer the size of a USB stick and smartphones.
The "sixth generation" Core family promises improved performance, battery life and graphics power thanks to a new microarchitecture.

The chips have also been optimized to better manage 4K videos.
But the US company could find it difficult to convince users that need new devices.
Microsoft is offering its latest operating system - Windows 10 - as a free update for the software suggests consumers should not be more demanding on processors that Windows 7 or Windows 8.
In the past, many households bought new computers when they wanted to upgrade operating systems, but could not do so on this occasion.

In addition, the slowdown in China's economy and the continued weakness of many European markets could cause businesses and governments to delay upgrading your kit.
Still, Intel said there are more than 500 million computers in use that are four years old or more.
And one analyst agreed that Skylake presents the company with new opportunities.
"A fairly large number of people who have an old PC and who are upgrading to Windows 10 will do so in a new team," said industry analyst Jack Gold technology.

"The most important thing to be attractive is the fact that power-requirements have been substantially reduced.

Intel manufacturing setbacks faced by making its latest generation of Core chips
"That will enable new form factors. - Thinner, lighter, smaller devices that do not need a fan to draw less power and more likely to get between 10 and 12 hours of life without adding much extra weight in batteries ".
Compressed 4K

Intel scheduled its release to coincide with IFA technology show in Berlin.
"Versus the core fifth generation, we are talking about an active power reduction of 60% and at the same time an increase in yield of 60%," Gregory Bryant Intel executive told the BBC before the event.

This is partly thanks to a technology called Speed ​​Shift, he said, which allows processors to "shift gears" faster than before in order to reduce the amount of time they are kept running at its most high frequency energy when not needed.
Although this can only shorten each period by tens of milliseconds, the savings add up.
"In addition we have been in a march of several years to dramatically improve the graphics performance, and we're saying that there's even a 40% increase from generation-to-generation," said Mr. Bryant.

Skylake chips are designed to handle a new type of video compression
I said the chips were optimized to handle the new H.265 video codec - a new compression standard that allows 4K video files using less data being heard without sacrificing image quality.
4K video is four times the resolution of 1080p HD.
H.265 adoption has been delayed until now because some processors have difficulty handling the situation.
An observer company said last Intel chip design reflects current habits.
"We are in an age of consumption - people are seeing more and more video streams, games [easy] video and do other things that involve a lot of graphics, but do not require a lot of computing resources as the content and was created "said Sergis Mushell of tech consultancy Gartner.
Refrigerated Games
Intel has, however, targeted a specific niche of consumers who enjoy pushing their processors to the limit.

Intel will sell chips "unlocked" made for mobile devices for the first time
For the first time, it is supporting the "overclocking" of some of its chips for mobile devices.
The practice involves pushing processors to perform calculations at a higher speed than that set for causing more heat are emitted. In the past, Intel had closed its mobile chips to prevent this.
"Intel says something like 10% of the PC market is extreme gamers, and that's who it is," said Jack Gold.
"For boys and girls who want to refresh their laptops with liquid nitrogen [and other substances] and get the most you can from them."

Intel says it plans to launch more than 48 variants of Skylake processor in the coming months
In the coming months, Intel said it plans to launch about 50 different variants of Skylake processors.
However, he indicated that manufacturers must promote their new computers talking facilities complement rather than rely on new chip features.
Suggestions include:
It includes a depth camera REALSENSE Intel, which can be used so that users log on to a Windows 10 look at the sensor, and it is harder to fool traditional 2D webcams
Support for Ready Mode technology enterprise, allowing users wake a computer with your voice
WiGig adding a chip to allow laptops and tablets to be connected to external displays and other peripherals without the need for wires plug-in
These innovations can, indeed, be added to the computers work with older chips.

But since it is likely to become more frequent with the deployment of Skylake, an analyst agreed that it made sense to focus on them.
"Consumers are looking for what they can do differently in their systems compared to what they can do today," said Patrick Moorhead, founder of Moor Insights & Strategy.
"Therefore, the strategy of promoting what can be realized with computers instead of the speed of the chips and feeds is smart."
Intel's next challenge is to try to ensure that production of the chips smoothly.
Trouble making their chips earlier Broadwell caused several variants to be released later than expected, and led some buyers decide to wait rather than Skylake.
Intel says that the first of the new PC should be on sale later this year.

James Bond seems to have become a problem. Obviously, a literary character that generates billions of dollars for more than six decades is not the worst kind of problem you have, but presents a problem anyway. Since the death of Ian Fleming in 1964, Bond has passed through the hands of many writers - four of them since 2008. Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver and William Boyd wrote one novel each, and now we are Trigger Mortis, the attempt to Anthony Horowitz in reviving the relic of the Cold War. The truth is that, payday aside, entering blade heel sandals Fleming seems a thankless business. Not that Fleming is exactly inimitable, but parts of his style pastiche that are easy are also intolerably unpleasant, while the things that are worth copying are as elusive as they are distinctive.

Is a literary cliche recognize that Fleming was a sadist, a racist and misogynist, and there is nothing hidden about the cruelty that infuses the world of Bond. Women are bitches, any non-English-speaking white person and is definitely not subhuman, and torture is persistent and explicitly erotic. A modern Bond-chronicler could copy these things and create a distinctively Flemingish fiction but also one that reject all but the most Ukipper not apologized. However, even with all its brutality, Fleming was a gifted prose stylist and striking. Within the first three pages of Casino Royale, you know everything you need to know about Bond and his universe, a gasp-inducing headrush smoke and squalor and ambiguity that makes you crave other poisonous puff.

Horowitz's work, then, is both simple and borderline impossible Bond do exactly the same, and that is different. There are two things that give a leg up Trigger Mortis. First, Horowitz has already demonstrated his idea of ​​Fleming with the Alex Rider series, which updates the myth consciously Bond for the 21st century (Occasionally, it tests the line between tribute and straight debt: Stormbreaker, for example, it is a Moonraker-ish tour with inferiority complex villain Hugo Drax and Le Chiffre's eyes, crowned with a last-second hero for salvation. which coincides with deferred Bond of Soviet counterintelligence agency SMERSH in Casino Royale) Secondly, Trigger Mortis makes use of unreleased material by Fleming (a treatment for an episode of a series of television Bonds never did), and as a direct continuation of Goldfinger - we get a continuation of the relationship Bond with Pussy Galore.

When it comes, the Fleming chapter slips almost perfectly, a testament to how attentive Horowitz was the style of his teacher. He offers precise concise prose that makes it so compelling Bond, but more than that, it also provides hints of ruthless poetry Fleming: a Maserati engine sounds as "a vast sheet of muslin endlessly torn", the scene burned a murder is " one ugly ad black for hatred, violence and despair ", and the Nürburgring race track (the plot has Bond go undercover as a playboy racing driver) is" a long green scream ". I suspect the latter is an original Flemingism, but it is notable that does not stand out, but unfortunately the game does lumpen words of the title. Horowitz also shared the pleasure of Fleming in detail in the real world engine specifications, models of firearms and contemporary news are incorporated everything with love. And Jason sin is a worthy entry into the pantheon of villains Bond, with his evil inclination to play with the lives of others.

While Trigger Mortis follows the contours established by Fleming, it is a brisk and efficient way. Problems arise when model deviates Horowitz. For example, the return of Pussy Galore can be a banker for the dust jacket, but rarely Bond was for long-term relationships and she is also a profoundly difficult to revive character for a modern audience: a head of a gang of lesbians turned to Bond (never having seen a "real man" before), which is revealed in the pillow talk that she is a victim of incestuous child sexual abuse. Horowitz's credit that he brings back as something like a woman in three dimensions, giving an arc that exceeds trite Freudian Bond masculinity. On the other hand, that arc fully occupies the first quarter of the book, it feels like a long time to postpone the excitement of a thriller in order to make a joke at the expense of the hero, however gratifying the auction.

And then there's the Bond himself, who is not quite interestingly Bond. Still a sexist and xenophobic, but the narrator no longer supports this chauvinism. But this Bond is unusually cultured: it has a habit of literary allusion that suggests a personality change suddenly, and when he sees the likeness of a young woman Jean Seberg, the implicit view of Bond taking the time to double-rights Or to catch a screening of Otto Preminger's Saint Joan, the only film he had made in 1957, when the book is set, it is almost unbearable fun. Even stranger, this Bond has no qualms about killing - not the ruefulness after the events in the program early in Goldfinger, but a genuine respect for human life to intercede in violence. As disgusting as Fleming's hero he is he squirts prefer the Bond Oddjob for an airplane window as toothpaste this merciful shade interior monologue. Horowitz undoubtedly closer than most to solve the riddle of Bond, but Trigger Mortis is lower than many riders as Alex Fleming senses fan service. The insoluble problem with Bond in the end, is Bond.

Javier Mascherano says that despite the success profile and his teammate, Lionel Messi Argentina Barcelona and enjoys, he hates to be him, considering the criticism that has to suffer.

Spanish sports daily cites an interview with Argentine TyCSports, as the team still face questions about their failure to win major trophies.

Messi has not always been able to replicate the form he has shown for Barcelona at the international level, and Argentina was runner-up in the World Cup and the Copa America in the last two seasons.

Mascherano said:

Messi is not hidden and never far from criticism. I like to be Messi. It is something very special. Keeps coming (to the national team), even when it is about to become a father. We are football players who want to offer as much as you can. We are honest and try to do it the best way.

Would you rather be a Mascherano or Messi?
