Technical Comparison: iPhone 3GS vs. 3G vs Palm Pre

After the announcement of the iPhone 3GS of the hardware specs of the 3GS. Here we outlined the single chip CPU/GPU SoC as follows:

	iPhone 3G (ARM11)	iPhone 3GS (ARM Cortex A8)
Manufacturing Process	90nm	65nm
Architecture	In-Order	In-Order
Issue Width	1-issue	2-issue
Pipeline Depth	8-stage	13-stage
Clock Speed	412MHz	600MHz
L1 Cache Size	16KB I-Cache + 16KB D-Cache	32KB I-Cache + 32KB D-Cache
L2 Cache Size	N/A	256KB

The iPhone 3GS uses an ARM Cortex A8 processor running at 600MHz, much like the Palm Pre. Many weren’t confident that the 3GS used the new ARM A8 core instead of a higher clocked ARM11

iPhone 3GS Advantage over Palm Pre		21%
iPhone 3GS Advantage over iPhone 3G		122%

The new 3GS renders web pages 128% faster, on average, than the old iPhone 3G. The 45% clock speed boost alone isn’t enough to generate such a large performance increase, this is a new microarchitecture. Also, note that the 3GS’ performance mimics that of the Palm Pre - another Cortex A8 based phone.

Not too surprising given the just-released nature of the Pre’s webOS, the 3GS is actually able to render webpages slightly faster than the Pre in some cases. The overall performance advantage ends up being 22.6% in favor of the 3GS over the Pre.

Application launch time has also improved :

Application Launch Time in Seconds	Web Browser	Dialer	Google Maps	Camera	Email
Apple iPhone 3GS	0.7 s	0.7 s	2.7 s	2.8 s	0.8 s
Apple iPhone 3G	0.8 s	1.2 s	3.3 s	3.9 s	1.2 s
Palm Pre	3.0 s	1.5 s	8.6 s	4.4 s	3.3 s
T-Mobile G1	5.4 s	2.0 s	4.4 s	4.9 s	2.0 s
iPhone 3GS vs. 3G Performance Advantage	14%	71.5%	22.2%	39.4%	50%

While the old iPhone 3G was no slouch, the 3GS is anywhere from 14 - 72% faster in basic application load times. It’s the magic of a brand new CPU architecture.

This is the gadget that I would recommed for IIUM wireless users to get connected through SSID iium-gadget. In addition, Blackberry also has almost similar performance with iPhone. You can feel the real performance of IIUM campus wide infrastructure. So far, Windows Mobile based phone still not recommended because it will drop the backward compatibility of default wifi 802.11g technology. Standard handphone running on wifi 802.11b and it will change the nearby channel to 11b instead of 11g. ITD will not tolerate to open the access for any gadget that able to down grade the nearby performance. If you own an iPhone or Blackberry, you are welcome to register for iium-gadget access.

For Symbion and Windows Mobile users, wait until new development. So far, even T-Mobile G1 performance, it take 5.4s to launch a web browser. Next time, before you purchase your handphone… carefully check the hadrware spec for clock speed, processor and cache size.

How to configure Ubuntu 8.10 / 9.04 for 802.1x WPA TKIP environment

Sponsored Link

IIUM wireless environment implement WPA authentication and TKIP encryption. The overall using 802.1x authentication method which deploy protected EAP (PEAP) using EAP token. User database stored in a Radius server by using FreeRadius running on FreeBSD platform.

One of my user said, before upgrading his Ubuntu 8.10, he was using Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. The previous Ubuntu is running well. Once he upgrade it to Ubuntu 8.10, he cannot get connected to our secure wireless environment anymore.

Hmmmmm... while other user with other stardard OS e.g Windows XP, Mac OS and Windows Vista doesn't have any problem, so I suspect, the WPA configuration in Ubuntu 8.10 something need to change drastically. It seems like doesn't works well in a secured wireless environment.

We have tried and yes, it does not work with IIUM wireless campus. I tried to switch to fedora 10, but the result is still the same. Then we tried to migrate to knoppix, my best linux distro ever, but still not working and become more worst when knoppix cannot detect Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG device. We dont want to use ndiswrapper since it finally could corrupt my entire OS. FYI, Suse linux will work smoothly with IIUM wireless.

When Ubuntu come out with new release, 9.04 and 9.10 alpha, my friend was exciting because the new relase might help student who really like ( dont know why, yet Ubuntu still look nothing for me) to have a great bonding with Ubuntu, but the result is still disappointing. The main issue is that since the release 8.10 version, Ubuntu has come with standard Network Manager with not support of PEAP/TKIP, the main authentication for IIUM wireless connection. So, the best solution for this is to swtich to Wicd, the open source Gnome-independency Network manager.

1. Get the Wicd either direct download by using command terminal sudo apt-get install wicd , or just download from Synaptic Package Manager for those who dont want to play around with command terminal.

using command

sudo apt -get install wicd

using synaptic package manager


2. Go to etc/wicd/encryption/templates/peap-tkip to customize the setting. Please take note that ubuntu has by default disable the root password. So you cannot just simple open form file browser. You can either open the file using command sudo ect/wicd/…../peap-tkip at terminal or just type on terminal “sudo passwd root” to enable you root password. Please also take not the file is located at the root folder, not home folder.

Change this:

name = PEAP with TKIP
author = Fralaltro
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert
-----

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={

ssid="$_ESSID"
scan_ssid=$_SCAN
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="$_IDENTITY"
password="$_PASSWORD"
ca_cert="$_CA_CERT"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSHAPV2"

}

to become this:

name = PEAP with TKIP
author = Fralaltro
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password
-----

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={

ssid="$_ESSID"
scan_ssid=$_SCAN
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="$_IDENTITY"
password="$_PASSWORD"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=EAP Token"

}

3. After that, go to Application > Internet > Wicd Network Manager. select iium community and click on Advanced Setting. Tick Use Encryption and select PEAP with TKIP.


Then, just type your username and password….and thats it and it works…

Windows 7 vs OS X Snow Leopard

Exchange Support
Snow Leopard's got it built-in, your copy of Windows 7 doesn't. Freaky but true.

Overall
Both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are designed to be faster, leaner, stronger and more stable than the OSes they're building on. Windows 7 is markedly more responsive, and you simply feel like you're more in control. We'll have to see with Snow Leopard, but if it lives up to Apple's promises, we're definitely looking forward to the performance prowess.

There' s a whole lot that goes into deciding whether you're a Mac or PC, but whatever one you pick, you definitely won't go wrong upgrading your OS this fall.

Review on Aruba RAP-2WG Remote Access Poin

The Aruba RAP-2WG is a single radio 802.11b/g, enterprise-class indoor remote access point, capable of supporting multiple functions including wired and wireless access and air monitoring/wireless intrusion detection and prevention across the 2.4-2.5 GHz spectrum.

The RAP-2WG remote access point delivers secure user-centric network services and applications in remote branch offices as well as for home office workers and telecommuters. Centrally managed from an Aruba Controller, the RAP-2WG provides the network administrator with unparalleled control over services and security. The RAP-2WG supports authenticated wired and wireless access, as well as policy based forwarding mechanisms to allow access to centralized and local resources.

The latest product Aruba's Virtual Branch Network (VBN) solution dramatically simplifies the complexity and cost of deploying a remote solution at branches with one to many users. Complex configuration, management, software updates authentication, intrusion detection, and remote site connectivity tasks are handled by powerful data center-based Aruba controllers running new Aruba software. Centralizing these services in the controllers enables the branch office equipment to be greatly simplified and cost reduced. The virtualized functions are transport-independent, so any wide-area network - including 3G cellular and DSL - can be used to connect the branches offices.

I think this a great product for educational institution that always have a meeting a way from their campus escially when researcher need to conduct a research collabaration meeting with other research group and they also need to have their own local network for linking back to the local server at the university.

With this kind of features, remote office can be enable anywhere at anytime in the world.

Centralizing these services in the controllers enables the branch office equipment to be greatly simplified and cost reduced. The virtualized functions are transport-independent, so any wide-area network - including 3G cellular and DSL - can be used to connect the branches offices.

I think this a great product for educational institution that always have a meeting a way from their campus escially when researcher need to conduct a research collabaration meeting with other research group and they also need to have their own local network for linking back to the local server at the university.

With this kind of features, remote office can be enable anywhere at anytime in the world.
