Apple Rejecting 'Green Ranking' from Greenpeace

There are different gadgets in the assessment of the most 'green' by Greenpeace this time. That is not the participation of one of the world's IT giants, namely Apple. Manufacturer IPAD and the iPhone turned out to reject the 'skinned' Greenpeace.

Ranking gadgets most 'green' version of Greenpeace who recently announced on the sidelines of the event the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2011 was actually invited the 20 companies surveyed IT.

 

But in the journey, only 18 vendors who expressed willingness to be assessed Greenpeace. They include Dell, Fujitsu, HCL, Lenovo, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Research In Motion, Toshiba and Wipro.

While two other companies, refused to participate. Besides Apple, who also refused to go 'green ranking' Greenpeace is Phillips.

No mention clearly what the reason behind the rejection of both companies. However, if the reason just afraid if later found out that the devices they produce is not 'green', seems to be enough question marks.

The reason, in July 2010, Greenpeace just gave appreciation to Apple due to have demonstrated a commitment to using environmentally friendly materials and materials that can be recycled in the IPAD and the iPhone 4.

Environmental organizations that do not even hesitate to make Apple as a role model for the progress they have achieved can be followed by another vendor, one of which is Dell.

So it's somewhat confusing if the firm is now led by Steve Jobs seem to be afraid to 'skinned' Greenpeace related products.

Indeed, by deciding to participate in a survey conducted by Greenpeace, the vendor is tantamount to opening the kitchen production to outside parties.

There are four criteria to the assessment, ie how much the use of hazardous chemicals in their products, related to electricity consumption, how to recycle products and innovative marketing strategies and what they have run in order to campaign for environmentally friendly programs.

Well, from the four indicators that Asus is finally pulled in two trophies in the categories of computer monitors and notebooks. While the netbook category dominated by Acer.

Here are the complete results of the gadget's champions 'greenest' version of Greenpeace who quoted from the AFP on Friday (01/07/2011):

-. Monitor computer: Asus VW-HF-247H
-. Notebook: Asus UL30A
-. Netbook: Acer TM8172
-. Desktop PCs: HP Compaq 6005 Pro

Know the Dual-Core Processors in Mobile Devices

Dual core processors in early 2011 echoed this. Many smart phones and tablets start to use it as Optmus 2X LG, Motorola Atrix, and tablets Motorola Xoom. Actually, whether it is dual-core? How important is its function? Let's see.

Is it a dual-core processors?

All smart phones and tablets will have a processor, some call it the CPU. Like the brain, the processor functions to manage the data path, so that handsets can run a particular performance. For example, if an application to perform, play games, image processing and so forth.

Each processor itself has a chip. For example, the famous single-core processor Qualcomm and Samsung Snapdragon QSD8250 Hummingbird has a 1GHz chip speed on a single die (board).

Well, for dual-core processors are two chips (including caches and cache controllers) in units of the die. Thus the so-called 'dual'.


What Point?

In terms of processor performance, I had
analogy as a carriage pulled by two horses that run fast. Of course much faster than a horse is not it? Unfortunately the burden of horses right and left sometimes not the same as in attracting the train. This happens for some applications that do not support dual-core processors.

Having a dual-core processors in mobile (tablet or smartphone) means giving freedom to the OS to manage intensive tasks in parallel. Yes, this means more devices can do multi-tasking process better.


Why Dual-Core Better than Single-Core?

Obviously. Because the single-core processors can not perform like a parallel process of dual-core processors. Why? It was easy, because there is only one chip, the processor can only do one-time order information (known as the 'thread') at a time. While dual-core, on the other side can do this simultaneously because the two chips supported.


Fortunately What?

The main advantage if the vendor uses a dual-core processor is the capability of their handsets more quickly and can do multi-tasking process more efficient. The reason is because it supported the two cores that process two threads at once simultaneously.

For users, of their handsets so much running and not feel 'slow' when hitting heavy applications. Well, in 2011, many vendors are beginning to use tablet. Predictably, the first time out on the market price must be relatively high.

Want to have a tablet is much faster than the Samsung Galaxy tab, Dell Streak, or iPad? Just be patient, wait for the presence of new tablets with dual-core processor in 2011 - while waiting for the single-core tablet down prices
