Breakthrough On White LED Efficiency
The original mission funded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), was that the LED lighting industry wants a luminous efficacy of 100 lumens per watt.
Many think that this breakthrough which holds promise on improving the efficiency of white light LEDs won't come until 2010.
But Nichia Corporation technology is well ahead of schedule and has already got to 113 lumens per watt. This will make white LEDs viable alternatives for many applications and in diverse areas.
Nichia claims that it's technology is clearly much more advanced than the what market knows.
Breakthrough :
The breakthrough appears to be that Nichia has textured the surface of the chips - mirror flat surfaces mean light travels in parallel. "Creating a rough surface has a wave guiding effect on light, allowing more to emerge."
Competition :
Meijo University had claimed it had achieved 130 lumens a watt, and that means the 200 lumen per watt barrier could be broken well within the next 10 years.

AMD Socket M2 on Nvidia-based MSI mobo
The first AMD's Socket M2 board has surfaced on the internet, it is made by MSI and has been named K9N Platinum motherboard.
The board is a based on a Nvidia chipset, it will surely support the new interconnect when it debuts. The debut is scheduled to be somewhere in Q2.
The pin-out is a 31 x 31 array with 21 holes blocked at the corners and other portions of the grid, making a confirmation count of M2's pins a doddle. Yes, it is indeed a 940-pin connector.
Socket M2 will be accompanied by updated AMD processors with an on-board memory controller that supports DDR 2 SDRAM.
It's expected to be accompanied by Socket F, for the company's Opteron 2xx and 8xx server processor lines, and Socket S1 for notebook systems.
