Our best guess on tomorrow's Apple special event.

(Credit: Screen-cast by verge.com/)
Commentary- Gauging on last years' apple's event, the dates tells us a-lot in accordance with the months & weeks as well. This year's apple event was more and precisely on unveiling new set of iPhones and much advanced apple's OS that gave it all on stage in apple's headquarters in Cupertino, CA. This October will again be a month of apple. By a report on (All_things_D) heavy leaks on this month's apple event have all been taken with usual grains of salt as it's typically known for it's excellent track records on apple's annual events. Am still not sure where the event will set for kick-off but what am certain about is, we should expect a-lot starting with new lines of Macbook pro together with minis, of which, most probably, November 1st will see them launched & ready to go on sell. So the event is now axed in manner. What's our best guess on items predicted to be on board?

New Macbooks together with Minis
As it is a norm for apple to upgrade it's new hardware, reports tell that new Macbooks are also on board come late November this year. Last year upgrades seemed minimal compared to this years. Key elements like processing power, high multimedia definition that supports full retina display on both iMacs and Macbooks are rumoured to be on plans. Apple, for years, is known for it's excellent prowess in giving ground breaking machines especially from the Macbook line of products. Of-course we also have the new Mac pro desktop on our prediction list, that'll be fully unveiled come end of this fall but won't surface in the coming apple event. Upgrades of it showcased earlier June this year and newer power structure was the whole motive to this very Mac pro desktop. We also expect the same upgrade to ice the cake in the coming generation of Macbook pro. Talk of ultra-fast 4k media graphics that is rumoured to take full advantage of new GPU's acceleration, new generation of intels' processor (Haswell) that will all-together bundle and come to reality on Macbooks' schematic board and also not forgetting PCI express based hardware plan that will deliver a state-of-art performance on coming new Macbooks. With additions to this, we also expect an upgrade on visual front camera display on both products -- iMacs and Macbooks, that will also pass through the show-casing event come next week on tuesday.

 
New iPads on list.
With the iPad, i can truly say there's some kind of a fever pitch that has kept many on ripples, as apple's slotting suprices and in-fact jaw dropping suprices in stores for next weeks event. New iPads are just around the corner and with all these rumours taking rounds the blogosphere, this actually tells how next iPads will have a treasure at hand even though they don't hit the 100% mark. A Series of analysis  have potentially revealed how cool next iPads will preface. Bigger screens, 9.7'' in size and better HD graphics that's x5 times faster than the previous generation of the iPad are also factors to consider. A report released by Cnet strongly tells how next full sized-iPads will maintain last years' mini kind of shape that spots sliddish angle edges and bezeled shape that's thinner in design. AllThingsD, a site well known for it's best track records of apple's products also suggest that the minis will get full retina display and take same levels with the iPad pro in crystal display. The next big surprise is whether the two iPads will include Apple's new device security based on Touch ID like the one bundled on iPhone 5s that will see it's users being able to purchase music via iTunes and as well unlocking their devices in regards to privacy. Siri's also a blast here. Apple's also taking siri to the next level, infact to the iPad where users can interact with female voice assistance, ask questions about weather, air base station, road maps and even match you results for fast lunch hour malls based on your current location. Millions have loved & as well hated Siri but for apple funs, the fact remains that Siri plans and offers broad range of enquires greater than that of Googles', just as many of you think of it as a competition disparity. Susan Bennett, a US. voice historiographist was this month kept on light by CNN for her best voice of urgency that many thought was used as iPhone's voice assistant. Am also expecting her voice to feature in iOS7 as an additional update come next week and of-course this time getting accompanied by males' too, of which am not sure who that will be. You can watch her talk and share her earlier experiences here.  



Commentary:-Other possible predictions beyond the iPad and Macbooks will include naming of prices that will tag the OS X mavericks together with it's Mac Pro in the next apple event. For divas who see music as a standing ovation, am yet to get info on iPods but possible criteria reveals iOS7 taking face but to users who only posses the 5th generation of it. iOS7 is the latest & current mobile Operating system that powers all apple smartphone devices that has of-late rolled out massively to users. OS X mavericks is also a follow-up of last years OS X mountain lion that will showcase also - not as a separate software this time, but a nailing filter that will run real-time on new Macbook pro and Pro desktops as well. Apple typically invites media to such rounds of events a week or so, before the conference and that means you should expect more pictures and point-to-point analysis come next week.

Will the "Haswell" processor be the next F1 Engine? Let's chime that into analysis


It has been 1 year & 3 months since sandy & ivy bridge came to market. Tech-gurus have managed to motivate consumers by allowing integration of Nvidia thus providing best performance when working across your device. Lets make it clear that top firms like Microsoft, & Apple have had and always made it on higher pedestal from the fact that engineering ivy & sandy wasn't a spare to unfold. Last year at world-wide-developers conference (wwdc) apple company unveiled both 13 and 15 inch MacBook pro all capacitance displaying ivy bridge in control, come to Microsoft, it's first PC, surface tablet survived round one with it also maintaining ivy processor on-board. Of-course other PC firms like Lenovo showcased the same but if i was to ask, will the incoming haswell processor be the next F1 engine to turn request for other companies to follow soot? I bet no......whatever am about to analyse should be taken with a clean, pinch of salt. technical- wise, ivy bridge processor has shown great interest to PC manufacturing firms. Take the case of execution be of great topic here. Ivy bridge, though not taking order of execution into consideration, it's to my opinion that, ivy still maintains a stable record in execution that haswell won't be holding if granted an additional 2 years. Analysts have argued that haswell will rather be sailing hot prior & after it's sale but afterwords maintain dormancy after 4-5 months of release. Features packed with haswell are quite liquiditive, ease the pain of less uphold of battery power, excellent data transfer with both front & back buses but won't satisfy it's consumers when it comes to real back-up of stability especially on complex operating systems . You wanna know why haswell's a passing cloud? check on these two principals i've down broken for you.

Out-of-order execution.

a processor executes instructions in an order governed by the availability of input data, rather than by their original order in a program. It's a mind blowing innovation, easy & somehow reliable when viewed from shallow angles but doesn't this alter system's developers pattern of formality? am assuming if complex operating systems like MS windows & OSX (x-versions) are to be directly layered on haswell processor then target firms developing these stand-alones' will have to layhands on a clean 1 billion hefty package to re-programme different layout of data transmission that may not favor the smooth rendering of haswell's program execution. Pointing on both ivy and sandy bridge, haswell emerges as complex processor that may not comply with hardwares' compatibility of standards. With 22nm on both old & the yet unveiled 4th generation processor, questions still revolve  as to whether out-of-order execution serves haswell a knight of Camelot.     

Desktops and server stations chip-sets maintains a C1-C4 power state design. 

C1-C4 are not tangible materials as many of you would think but rather, CPU / package sleep states that are governed by internal 3D-trigates that calculate transmissions of these CPU packages. Initially, both sandy & ivy bridge clogged the Q5-Q8 chipsets that are with no doubt chip-sets with right fitting instruction. Mobile devices clogged the QHM87 - QHM86 inbuilt chipsets that gave normal threshold lining of power consumption when entering standby/sleep mode. Today we're hinted to haswell, the 4th generation processor but do industries really want to unfold what was termed old & incapable with matters concerning power balance? It is a big YES that haswell will make us proud by mobilizing resources which will soon cut down heavy guzzling of power but what of C1-C4 chipsets? it won't change anything! 

Commentary:- Well, it's a battle for which series of processor gets in the consumer cycle. Intel hasn't failed yet but the huddle ahead makes no hive for it to delay further. The 4th generation processor will make progressions if only, matters concerning executions & chip-sets remuneration are taken via a live lens.
