Upgradeable Processor Technology
Driving the system is Intel Core i7 Mobile or Core i7 Extreme with up to8MB of L3 cache, which delivers exceptional high-def multimedia, multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance.

Intel's 1333MHz front-side-bus i7 Mobile processor is Nehalem-based 45nm chip and its part of Intel's Clarksfield contains 840 million transistors and will run at a power envelope of up 55W. That's somewhat higher than the chipmaker's mainstream thermal design power (TDP) of 35W, meaning that the extra performance will take its toll on battery life.

This high-performance CPU allows users to simultaneously run multiple applications at the same time -- all with increased performance. Performing tasks such as burning CDs, reading email messages, editing digital photos and listening to music all at the same time with no slow downs means a richer overall experience for the user.

Here is a list of processors supported in W860CU Cougar and W870CU Cheetah:
- Intel Core i7-920XE Extreme Processor (Clarksfield); 2.0GHz, 8MB L3 cache; 55W TDP.
- Intel Core i7-820QM Processor (Clarksfield); 1.73GHz, 8GB L3 cache; 45W TDP.
- Intel Core i7 i7-720QM Processor (Clarksfield); 1.60GHz 6MB L3 cache, 45W TDP

Memory
EUROCOM W860CU Cougar and W870CU Cheetah use next-generation, high speed, dynamic frequency DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM for laptops that enables customers to make full use of the significantly reduced power consumption and increased bandwidth of DDR3.

This new-generation DDR3 SO-DIMM module for laptops uses the 8-bit pre-fetch design. As it is a double of the DDR2 modules, the clock frequency begins from 800MHz and can be increased to 1066MHz, 1333MHz and 1600MHz.

Thanks to the evolution in die processes to 75nm technology DDR3 modules offer a significant reduction in terms of power consumption, as they take advantage of DDR3's 1.5V supply, compared to 1.8V with DDR2. By incorporating additional optimizations, DDR3 SO-DIMMs even reduce the power consumption by at least 30 and up to more than 50 percent compared to today's mainstream DDR2 modules, depending on the SO-DIMM capacity. Indeed, the laptop's battery life can be extended. Furthermore, the DDR3 SDRAM devices offer data transfer rates of up to 1.600 Mb/s (Mbit per second). This doubles the maximum data transfer rates of today's DDR2 memories, and significantly boosts also the performance of mobile PCs.

This DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM for laptops uses high-quality genuine die from original manufacturers packaged with the FBGA (Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array) technology to deliver better cooling and electrical performances. The ODT (on-die-termination) can effectively ensure signal integrity by reducing signal feedback when the module is running at high speed.

With ASR (auto self-refresh) design, it intelligently reduces the refreshing frequency of memory modules thus effectively reduce the temperature and power consumption of the module to conserve energy.

Physical Dimensions & Weight
The W860CU Cougar measures 374mm (W) x 263mm (D) x 42mm (H) (14.96"x10.52"x1.68") and weights under 3.3kg (7.26lbs). The W870CU Cheetah is 412x279x39-48mm (16.48x11.16x1.56-1.92inch) and weights 4kg or 8.8lbs.

15 etape ale achiziţionării unei locuinţe prin programul „Prima Casă”

Achiziţionarea unei locuinţe prin programul „Prima Casă” se dovedeşte a fi, în practică, un proces mult mai anevoios decât în teorie. De la depunerea cererii de credit până la înscrierea ipotecii asupra imobilului pot trece între 40 şi 80 de zile.

Articolele publicate de capital.ro în campania legată de programul „Prima Casă” şi reacţiile cititorilor la aceste articole au demonstrat deja că termenele anunţate de către băncile partenere şi Fondul de Garantare pentru IMM-uri sunt depăşite cu mult. Nu puţine au fost situaţiile în care unii dintre cei care au accesat acest program au pierdut avansul pentru că nu au primit aprobarea finală în termen util.

capital.ro a identificat paşii care trebuie parcurşi până la etapa finală, respectiv înscrierea ipotecii asupra imobilului în cartea funciară. În total sunt 15 etape, multe dintre acestea având „marje de eroare” care contribuie la creşterea termenului pentru aprobarea finală.

Coroborând datele primite de la bănci cu acelea furnizate de către Fondul Naţional de Garantare a Creditelor pentru IMM, precum şi cu informaţiile obţinute de la cititorii capital.ro, se poate spune că paşii care trebuie parcurşi de la intrarea în bancă până la instituirea ipotecii sunt următorii:

1. Depunerea cererii de credit şi a documentaţiei la bancă: 1-5 zile. Acest termen depinde de cât de repede puteţi depune documentele solicitate de către bancă. Este vorba, printre altele, despre documentele privind identitatea sau despre cele referitoare la venit.

2. Analizarea dosarului de către bancă: 5-10 zile (cu „marjă de eroare”). De la ofiţerul de credit dosarul pleacă „în centrală”, unde stă minimum câteva zile, dar au fost cazuri în care analiza a durat peste 10-15 zile.

3. Transmiterea către Fondul de Garantare a solicitării de garantare: 1-2 zile.

4. Înregistrarea şi analizarea solicitării de garantare, verificarea documentaţiei depuse, aprobarea solicitării de garantare (dacă dosarul este complet): 5 zile. Termenul de maximum 5 zile se pare că (încă) este respectat, potrivit declaraţiilor reprezentanţilor Fondului, dar pe măsură ce creşte numărul solicitărilor de acordare a garanţiei se măreşte şi perioada de analiză.

5. Transmiterea către bancă a deciziei de aprobare însoţită de factura privind plata comisionului de garantare (se include în termenul de 5 zile).

6. Plata comisionului de garantare de către beneficiar: minimum o zi, maximum câteva zile.

7. Emiterea şi semnarea contractului de credit: 5-10 zile, în funcţie de bancă, dar nu există un „termen-limită”.

8. Semnarea contractului de credit: 1 zi.

9. Transmiterea către Fondul de Garantare a contractului de credit şi a dovezii plăţii comisionului: 1-5 zile.

10. Redactarea de către Fond a contractului de garantare şi transmiterea acestuia către bancă: 2-3 zile.

11. Semnarea contractului de garantare de către bancă: 5 zile.

12. Semnarea contractului de garantare de către beneficiar: 1 zi.

13. Transmiterea contractului de garantare către Fond: 2-5 zile.

14. Semnarea contractului de garantare de către Fondul de Garantare şi transmiterea acestuia către bancă: 5 zile.

15. Înscrierea ipotecii legale în cartea funciară: 1-3 zile.

Sintetizând toate aceste elemente ajungem la concluzia că termenul minim de la primul la ultimul pas este în jur de 40-45 de zile, iar cel maxim poate trece de 70-80 de zile.

Pe cati ani este mai avantajos creditul "Prima Casa"

Intentionati sa luati un credit prin programul „Prima Casa” si va faceti calculele pe ce perioada ar fi mai avantajos? In principiu, cu cat perioada de rambursare este mai mare, cu atat suma totala de returnat este mai mare, dar rata lunara este mai mica, comparativ cu un Imprumut pe un termen mai redus. Concret, pentru un credit „Prima Casa” de 50.000 euro, pe o perioada de 30 de ani, suma totala de rambursat este de circa 99.000 euro, scrie Gandul.

In schimb, pentru acelasi credit de 50.000 de euro, dar pentru o perioada mai scurta cu cinci ani, deci pe 25 de ani, suma totala de restituit este de 90.000 euro, adica cu circa 9.000 euro mai putin decat pentru creditul pe 30 de ani. Cand vine vorba Insa de rata, aceasta este desigur mai mare, Insa cu doar 24 de euro, la creditul pe 25 de ani, fata de creditul pe 30 de ani. Cititi mai mult pe www.gandul.info
