#HMS Core

To round out its Consumer Business Product and Strategy Virtual Launch, Huawei introduced its HMS Core & Capabilities for developers, pushing the AppGallery forward as an alternative choice for apps. With over 400 million monthly active users in over 170 countries, Huawei is making app development more convenient for developers with the release of the new HMS Core 4.0. A quick visit at PC Express revealed two new Core i-series processors already in stock. In a media launch this afternoon, Intel claims to deliver the fastest desktop processor on the planet ever with the introduction of the Core i7 CPU. The Intel Core i7 processors are the newest line to go out of the fab under the Nehalem family (45nm process). All 3 new processors are quad cores with the re-introduction of hyperthreading (HT) to effectively deliver 8 cores. Of course, better speeds always come at a price: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz - $284 (~ Php14,200) Intel Core i7 940 2.93GHz - $562 (~ Php28,100) Intel Core i7 965 3.2GHz Extreme Edition - $999 (~ Php49,950) On top of that, the system will only support DDR3 1066MHz which is still a bit expensive today compared to the standard DDR2. With the Extreme Edition (Core i7 965), Intel has also removed the overspeed protection so hard core users and gamers can easily overclock their rig.
