AMD Targets Medium-Core Gamers With Hybrid GPU

February 29th, 2008 | Category: Hardware News

The RS780G chipset is a component that basic platform - when paired with AMD’s 9000 series Phenom quad-core processors or Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor - can significantly enhance the game and experience high definition of what we call major PC users, According to AMD.

 

Here is the first chipset to provide a DirectX 10 games to compatibility performance Thursday, the realism of 3-D graphics and dynamic interactivity. ATI graphic technology hybrid combines the graphics power of both a discrete graphics card Latest news on the graphics card and the motherboard GPU, which allows him to deliver some applications with up to 70 percent better performance 3 — D, according to the company. As a second generation of AMD AMD chips with Overdrive, it offers a simple user interface for fine tuning.

 

In addition, the platform offers support for the HD formats, as VC-1, MPEG-2 and H.264, AMD said. The 780G also features AMD’s Unified Video Decoder, which directs the reading HD for GPU instead of the CPU (central processing unit) is easier to see. PC chipset which should also be able to support a range of video interfaces, including DisplayPort, DVI (digital video interface) and HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), as well as AMD Surroundview for use with multiple monitors.

 

The GPU is also more energy-efficient than its predecessors. The 780G provides 55 nm technology to optimize the management of energy while idling, DVD or other tasks.

 

“The really cool thing from the consumer side, it is one of the first chips that will DisplayPort true, as the HDMI and DVI capabilities,” said Ian Lao, an analyst at Instat.

 

“This guy is likely to sit in parallel with a discrete graphics card. Way, you will have the chipset of the graphics card built into it and you will also have the graphics card. Traditionally, once you integrated graphics you could not really At implementing multi-GPU. This is one of the things really cool about their hybrid system, “noted Lao.

AMD demos 45 nm processors

February 28th, 2008 | Category: Hardware News

Hanover (Germany) - AMD is increasing power of its processors to 45 nm, at CeBIT visitors have a chance to see samples of 45 nm Opteron with Shanghai base and 45 Phenom Teneb with their first public demonstration.

 

It’s not like AMD is close to publish these processors, but the company wants to remind us that it is still working on these processors, and they are still on track for a 2008 introduction. The manufacturer has not released details on the clock speeds and power consumption, but the spokesman said Gary Silcott TG Daily that improvements have been made “at every level”.

 

The first 45 nm generation CPU will continue to be using immersion lithography (EUV unlike on the road) and, with the exception of Intel 45 nm chips, not to use high-k dielectric metal gate technology . AMD believes it can be “competitive” without high-k for the moment, but noted that Silcott high-k is an option to be introduced at a later stage of the production 45 nm - and certainly at 32 nm

I got myself a Compaq Persario V3729TU!

February 27th, 2008 | Category: Laptop News

Oki got this wonderful laptop a few days ago so now i write all my articles on it. It works excellent for my job and am really happy. I paid around 500$ for it i guess and it was the best specced laptop in its price class. It has a Celeron M 540 1866 MHz | 512 DDR2 667 | X3100 Intel Grapahic Adapter | 120 GB Disk | 256 3DMark06

Ā I believe the reason why the 3dMark was so low is because my low ram. I am pretty sure if i add another 512 stick i could get almost 500 points. I can however play some decent games on it with good details and FPS. For example Half Life 2, Perfect World and of course WOW. Anyway i just had to share it with you guys and i recommend the laptop for all business men.

Intel Reveals 4 Watt “Diamondville” Processor Details

February 26th, 2008 | Category: Hardware News

Intel’s most recent roadmap reveals more information about the company’s most recent very low cost, ultra-low voltage platform, Diamondville. To put the record straight, Diamondville refers not simply a low-power CPU, but also refers to an entire platform. The reason is that processors will Diamondville soldered directly onto specially designed cards.

 

According partner Intel roadmaps for leaks DailyTech, Diamondville its line of processors are based on a completely new architecture based on a “blank sheet”. Intel plans to introduce two versions of its Diamondville processors, one for desktops and another for mobile platforms.

 

Diamondville first Intel chips should be released at the end of Q2′08. At that time, the company will launch the single-core Diamondville SC-230, which is designed for desktop use, and the Diamondville-SC: 270, which is designed to be used in mobile platforms. These two chips are very similar technical specifications, and will be run at 1.60 GHz and have 512 KB of cache.

MSI Showcases Stirling Engine Heatsink

February 25th, 2008 | Category: Hardware News

MSI has developed a new cooling fan chipset that is capable of functioning without electricity. MSI’s new chipset cooler, which is called “Air Power Cooler,” offers all the benefits of a cooler with a fan without drawing any power.

 

Energy efficiency fans can make a huge difference, especially in enterprise environments where hundreds of computers are running at once. Although passive cooling is always possible, it does not offer the cooling capacity of a fan.

 

The new cooler MSI is not a passive cooler, but in fact uses a fan to cool the chip without using electricity. Ironically, the fan draws its power of the thing it is very tempting to delete - thermal energy.

 

The system is based on a beta version of the Stirling engine. As warm air is developing in the system, it applies to the central pressure of the piston by pushing the heatsink. The movement of the piston upward rotation of gears, which turns the fan. The thermal energy produced by the chipset is transformed into kinetic energy.

 

The fan blows through a common search for radiator fins to disperse the heat of Northbridge production.

 

DailyTech MSI indicates that the system is capable of converting 70% of the heat energy to kinetic energy. It is important to note that sufficient heat must be supplied to rotate the fan blades. If the chipset is not hot enough, the entire system will not run.

 

MSI works in the cooler with Taiwanese company Polo-Tech. The fan is powerless to make its debut on the MSI ECOlution at CeBIT 2008.
