Audi launches new 2.0L Q5 TDI in India @ Rs 39.05 lakhs

Posted by Abhishek Monday, 28 March 2011 0 comments


Audi’s new Q5 2.0L TDI has been launched in India at Rs 39,05,000 (Ex-Showroom, Maharashtra). Audi will start 2011 Q5 2.0 TDI delivery to Indian buyers from April, 2011. The new Audi SUV features a 2.0 TDI engine which provides better efficiency and performance.
2.0 TDI engine generates 170 bhp and 350 Nm torque which is mated with a 7 speed automatic S tronic transmission to provide a wonderful driving experience. Michael Perschke, Head – Audi Indi, stated, “We are confident that the addition of the powerful 2.0 TDI q engine to the Audi Q5 range in 
India will strengthen and sustain our leadership position in the luxury SUV segment. The all new Audi Q5 2.0 TDI q, resonates higher efficiency and dynamic performance with its new engine and refreshed array of characteristics, that reflect our core brand essence of „Vorsprung durch Technik.”
Mr Perschke expects the new SUV from Audi to perform better in terms of sales and provide full customer satisfaction. Audi Q5 SUV is also available in two other variants- one with a 2.0l TFSI petrol engine and the other being a diesel one with a 3.0l TDI engine.  The German automaker, Audi has done extremely well in India last year and looks forward to repeat the same feat this year.

Intel Announces Third Generation 320 Series 25nm SSDs

Posted by Abhishek 0 comments

Intel 320 Series SSDs available in capacities up to 600GB


Intel threw us for a loop when it announced its 510 Series 6Gbps SSDs exactly a month ago. The SSDs didn't use an Intel controller, and instead used a Marvell 88SS9174-BKK2 6Gbps controller. Despite the use of a non-Intel controller, performance for the SSDs was nonetheless impressive with read speeds of up to 500MB/sec and write speeds of up to 315MB/sec.
Today, Intel announced its third generation "in-house" 310 Series SSDs which now take advantage of 25nm NAND flash memory. Unfortunately, according to AnandTech, these SSDs are around six months late meaning they still use a SATA II interface. Performance is also not quite up to par with the 510 Series, with maximum read speeds of 270MB/sec and maximum write speeds of 220MB/sec.

The big news is the use of 25nm memory that Intel says allows a 30 percent price reduction compared to the second generation X25-M SSDs.
"Intel designed new quality and reliability features into our SSDs to take advantage of the latest 25nm silicon, so we could deliver cost advantages to our customers," said Pete Hazen, director of marketing for the Intel Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Solutions Group. "Intel's third generation of SSDs adds enhanced data security features, power-loss management and innovative data redundancy features to once again advance SSD technology. Whether it's a consumer or corporate IT looking to upgrade from a hard disk drive, or an enterprise seeking to deploy SSDs in their data centers, the new Intel SSD 320 Series will continue to build on our reputation of high quality and dependability over the life of the SSD."

The Intel 320 Series SSDs will be available in 40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 300GB, an 600GB capacities at prices of $89, $159, $209, $289, $529, and $1,069 respectively.

The world’s first artificial leaf ‘created’

Posted by Abhishek 0 comments


Scientists have created the world’s first practical artificial leaf that can turn sunlight and water into energy, which they claim could pave the way for a cheaper source of power in developing countries like India.
A team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that the artificial leaf from silicon, electronics and various catalysts which spur chemical reactions within the device, can use sunlight to break water into hydrogen and oxygen which can then be used to create electricity in a separate fuel cell.
“A practical artificial leaf has been one of the Holy Grails of science for decades. We believe we have done it. And placed in a gallon of water and left in sun, these artificial leaves could provide a home in the developing world with basic electricity for a day,” Daniel Nocera, who led the team, said.
He added: “Our goal is to make each home its own power station. One can envision villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology.”
For their research, the scientists identified a set of inexpensive, common catalysts including nickel and cobalt that get the job done with far less expense. And, in the laboratory their playing-card-sized leaves have worked continuously for 45 straight hours without a drop in output.
Though in laboratory, an artificial leaf prototype could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity, the scientists say that they will next try to boost both efficiency and lifespan of their photosynthetic material.
The findings were presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.
