SolidWorks and PLM Story
OLEG SHILOVITSKY: I’m attending SolidWorks World these days in a sunny San Diego, California. If you are in the engineering and manufacturing, it is probably "must go" event for you. Of course, if you are using SolidWorks and Dassault software. However, even if you’re not, it is a great place to see people and have some hands-on technology. I’ve been told by SolidWorks exec that SWW 2012 is expecting to have 5500 registered attendees this year and also few hundreds of "walk-in" visitors. As I promise, I will be following up SolidWorks World with my "PLM eye" to see what is going on and what PLM technologies and products you can expect to see here.

Intel i7 3820 released, spiritual successor to i7 920; Ivy Bridge delayed until June
The Core i7 3820 is the first sub-$500 chip to be released for the LGA2011 socket, the same socket used by Core i7 Extreme 3980X and 3860X, the i7 3930K, and the Xeon E5 server processors. Compared to its 6- and 8-core compatriots, the 3820 is “only” a quad-core, but it retains the same on-die 4x 64-bit DDR3 controller, 40 PCIe v3 channels, and dual-link QPI. There’s 10MB of L3 cache, too, and the base clock rate is 3.6GHz. The price? A miraculous $285. Yet again, it doesn’t look good for AMD’s top-of-the-line FX-8150, which is priced around the same point and yet significantly slower than Intel’s offerings.
