Gorilla Glass 3 - acum cu 50% mai rezistenta!

[MonkY]

Deja nu mai este un secret faptul ca produsul celor de la Corning a fost un succes si in a doua sa iteratie, Gorilla Glass 2 ajungand sa fie folosit datorita rezistentei sale la zgarieturi si impact de catre majoritatea producatorilor de notebook-uri, smartphone-uri si tablete (peste 1 miliard de panouri erau vandute pana in Noiembrie 2012). Anul acesta la CES cei de la Corning au anuntat ca nu s-au culcat pe lauri, si vor veni cu a treia iteratie: Gorilla Glass 3. Conform prezentarii facute, acesta a fost complet "reinventat" si va fi mai rezistent la zgarieturi cu 40% si mai rezistent la socuri cu 50%.

Eu zic ca nu poate decat sa ne bucure acest lucru, si ramane sa vedem ceva teste live si comparative la CES 2013. Chiar sunt curios daca in sfarsit vom avea un smartphone la care sticla sa reziste unei caderi de la minim 1.5m pe ciment. Mai jos aveti press release-ul:
