Nasscom: Fundamentals of Indian IT industry strong

Admitting that the global economic environment was still "uncertain", IT bodyNASSCOM today said the fundamentals of the domestic IT industry are strong but there was a need to "wait" and "watch" its performance in the next two quarters. "..market is really uncertain. But I think the fundamentals of our industry are also very strong.... It is true that economic environment is uncertain and we will watch the next two quarters," NASSCOM President Som Mittal told reporters. Speaking on the sidelines of a one day seminar "Surge 2012" organised by NASSCOM, he said the Indian Rupee depreciation against the US dollar helps the industry only in the long-term perspective and businesses do not gain much during short term. "Well, Rupee depreciation helps us in the long term. Because it ensures competitiveness for the industry. But in the short run, we do not really gain because as an industry we do not want currency movement to be in the centre of loss or profit. Because most people want to get what they have projected in terms of pricing," he said. "We need a stable currency, rather than guessing how far Dollar and Rupee will be. We hope the government will bring more stability," he said. Asked about IT companies entering new geographies, Mittal whose term as NASSCOM chief was extended for two more years yesterday, said "people are now picking up new geographies. Natural growth is happening in Europe, Latin America and Middle East". "For short term opportunities... we will be going to newer geographies like Latin America and Middle East and Asia. But in the longer term, we will be focusing on places where the need is higher," he said. To a query on their expectations from the Government, he said stability in policies was needed because it would build trust between government and the business. "I think this is the time we need the government to offer some support -- not in terms of any incentives, but as much as stable policies and more positive relationship between business and industry," he said. On employment in the IT industry, he said projections were that 160,000 to 180,000 jobs should be created this year. "We have given offers to more than 100,000 students in engineering colleges," he said. Last year, NASSCOM had predicted that 200,000 new jobs would be created in the industry.

Restaurant booking website PoshVine secures funding from MyFirstCheque

MyFirstCheque, a seed fund which invests up to Rs 25 lakh in start-ups, has invested in PoshVine.com an online restaurant booking website. PoshVine partners with premium restaurants to offer dining experiences with price advantages. The money raised would be utilized for expanding the business to other major cities. Richik Nandi, Co-Founder, PoshVine said, "We knew there was an opportunity for a platform where foodies discover unique culinary experiences offered by passionate people in the community and which offers solutions for 'everyday affluent' consumers who want flexibility, choice and personalised service." Gautam Sinha, Partner at MyFirstCheque said, "We believe that PoshVine will play a catalytic role as the Indian consumer aspires to create memories from dining and the online reservation with insider benefits and curated gastronomical experiences at premium restaurants is the first step towards that." PoshVine was founded by Garima Satija, Rafi Ali Khan and Richik Nandi. Satija was previously an HR professional and Richik has had prior business experiences while working with Microsoft, American Express, Asian Paints and is an alumni of Kellogg and XLRI Jamshedpur.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition unveiled, expected to launch soon

The rivalry between Nvidia and ATI (now, of course, AMD Radeon) is the stuff of legends. They are constantly out to beat each other's claim to the crown of the "fastest" GPU, almost faster than they can put these cards out in the market. It feels just like yesterday that Nvidia was showcasing the "new" fastest GPU to the world, theGTX 680. It was/is a technical marvel not in that it is the fastest GPU, but also managed to keep its power requirements lower than most GPUs out there, most relevantly, lower than the AMD Radeon HD 7970. Just like clockwork, AMD has announced a faster card, or at least, a refresh of their existing top-end card, inappropriately named the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (also known as HD 7970GE). According to Anandtech, the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition has core clock which is 75MHz faster than its "younger" sibling along with boasting of a 6GHz DDR5 memory clock (effective) as against the 5.5DDR5 GHz clock on the 7970. It is interesting that the new AMD card (the 7970 GHz edition) is priced lower ($499) than the original launch price of the HD 7970 ($549), we presume in order to compete with the Nvidia GTX 680 (which at $499, is also cheaper than the original HD 7970). A faster card with a lower price point than their current best offering could be deemed as the reason to unveil the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. It's interesting to note that in terms of PCB design, the cooling plan and even the Tahiti GPU core, the HD 7970 and HD 7970 GHz Edition are absolutely identical. The performance boost is apparently achieved through the Catalyst and BIOS specific features designed for the HD 7970 GHz Edition. The 7970GE will feature AMD's new PowerTune Technology with Boost (or PT Boost). The 'boost' feature is similar to the GPU turbo feature found in AMD's Fusion APUs. In effect, with it enabled, the 7970GE can boost the core clock up 50MHz further, taking it to 1050MHz. PT Boost is very similar to Nvidia's GPU Boost, both using presets of boost bins with an corresponding voltage, which in effect rank up the voltage and core frequency depending on the workload, and power/thermal conditions. There are some slight differences in implementation of PT Boost and Nvidia's GPU Boost however. PT Boost racks up only a 50MHz boost at max, unlike the more aggressive boosting of Nvidia. However, this makes AMD guarantee that all HD 7970GE cards can hit the same max core frequency, something Nvidia can't promise. Also, AMD is using internal counters for Digital Temperature Estimation (DTE), and switches very quickly (every few milliseconds) between boost bins. While this last fact will not make a noticeable difference in performance or power consumption in desktops, once the technology comes to laptops, it could work wonders in keeping the load temperature and consumption low, minimizing leakages. For a more detailed look at PowerTune with Boost, refer to Anandtech's illuminating article. But the question is, how does the 7970 GHz Edition rack up against the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680? AMD says that the new card gives a 10% performance boost over the HD 7970, and therefore theoretically is in the region of taking the lead away from Nvidia. The 7970 GHz Edition also just became the first card to sustain a 1 teraflop output for floating-point math throughput. This is an interesting revelation as Nvidia has always held the reputation for being the card for number crunching, but here is AMD setting a world's first in an Nvidia dominated domain. There are several interesting after-effects of this move by AMD. Firstly, it has driven the cost of their regular HD 7970 and HD 7950 cards down. The second, and by far a more crucial observation, is the design of the two AMD cards. They are absolutely identical, and overclockers have managed to push the stock HD 7970 to HD 7970 GHz Edition performance levels while maintaining stable voltages. This leads us to believe that AMD on purpose locked down on the power of the 7970, a move that is highly questionable. Whatever said and done though, the GPU wars have been going on since the two companies have existed, leading to the users' benefit. The need for the two companies to dominate the market doesn't only necessitate innovation, but also makes sure the prices stay competitive and relatively affordable. The AMD 7970 GHz Edition reference card should be out in a couple of days, with the OEM manufacturers pushing out their units soon after.
