First Ion-based netbooks reportedly on track for June debut
Nothing is completely official just yet, but Pocket-lint is reporting that its inside source at NVIDIA has "confirmed" that the initial batch of Ion-based netbooks will be announced at the big Computex trade show at the beginning of June, and that the first few netbooks could start shipping "as early as July." Of course, there's no word on any specific companies involved just yet, with the source only going so far as to say that the announcements will come from some "key players." Acer would seem to be about as close to a sure thing as there is, however, considering that it just recently launched the first Ion-based nettop, the AspireRevo, and that it's never passed up an opportunity to roll out yet another new nettbook in the past.

MSI Bringing Android Netbooks to Computex
We've heard a few rumours that netbook manufacturers have been testing Android on their systems, but MSI looks to be the first to have one ready to show off. According to the Chinese Economic Daily News, MSI will be taking demonstration systems to Computex in the hope of tempting worldwide distributors into selling such netbooks.
According to EDN, the Taiwanese Institute for Information Industry has been assisting the development of the Android netbook, but MSI was unwilling to comment. Details are, therefore limited.
It seems same to assume, though, that an MSI Wind of some description will be running the Google OS. What, if any, tweaks have been made to the version of Android running on phones such as the T-Mobile G1, will be interesting to see.

Six Cores Coming Soon - Opteron Turns Six
It seems only yesterday that AMD shook up the staid server market with the introduction of its Opteron line of server processors. With a micro-architecture that included significant technologies, from having native 64-bit x86 instructions while retaining 32-bit support to the use of HyperTransport links for inter-processor communications and an integrated memory controller, the Opteron was an entirely different beast from its competitors and quickly gained market share.
It hasn't always been plain sailing since but it's clear that the Opteron brand is here to stay. We have seen with our own eyes the processor growing from two to four cores and now, on its sixth anniversary, AMD has taken the opportunity to announce that its upcoming 'Istanbul' 6-core processor is months ahead of schedule and is expected to launch in June this year from OEMs. We guess the big unveiling will take place during Computex 2009 where AMD has customarily made big ticket announcements.

nVidia Not Buying VIA Shares
nVidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has dismissed rumours that his company would be buying VIA shares, according to DigiTimes.
While the companies are currently working closely, that relationship is limited to collaboration on nVidia's ION 2 platform, which will support VIA's Nano processors, says Huang. No investment will be heading VIA's way from nVidia, for the foreseeable future at least.
Considering nVidia's current financial status it's not too surprising that the company isn't looking to invest any significant capital. AMD's acquisition of ATI (which I think I'm safe in thinking is probably the only part AMD making money these days) goes to prove that such mergers aren't necessarily a good thing.

OCZ gets official with Z-Drive PCI-Express SSD
Technically, OCZ outed this here PCI-Express SSD way back at CeBIT in March, but it's just now making things super official. Now available with a fresh face and hard specifications, the Z-Drive is aiming to take on wares by firms like Fusion-io and provide blistering transfer rates to anyone who buys in. Essentially, this device removes the SATA bottleneck by employing the PCIe architecture and four Vertex controllers configured in four-way RAID 0 array. Curious about performance? Read speeds can hit upwards of 510MB/sec, while write speeds top out at 480MB/sec -- plenty respectable in our eyes. OCZ's planning to push these out in 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities, and while final pricing is still being kept under wraps, we're told that it'll be kept "competitive."
