Shuttle SX58J3 SFF PC supports Core i7-980X Extreme

, May 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Just because you're small, doesn't mean you can't be powerful; that's pretty much the tagline for Shuttle's new flagship SFF mini-PC.  The Shuttle SX57J3 is a mere 33 x 21.5 x 19 cm in size, but is designed to swallow up Intel's hexacore Core i7-980X Extreme processor (or indeed any socket 1366 Core i7 chips), together with up to 16GB of DDR3 memory.

Apple Mac Pro gets 3.33GHz Xeon and 2TB options

, Dec 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

Apple have quietly updated their Mac Pro desktop systems, adding a new processor option together with greater storage.  Buyers looking for the most powerful Mac Pro around are now able to specify a 3.33GHz Intel Xeon quad-core CPU, which is a whopping $1,200 on top of the regular machine.  The new CPU joins the existing entry-level 2.66GHz Xeon and 2.93GHz Xeon, the latter of which is a $400 option. As for the storage tweak, there's now a 2TB SATA 3Gb/s 7,200rpm hard-drive option, priced at $350, in addition to the previous 640GB and 1TB drives on offer.  The new 2TB drive has 32GB of cache, and is also available on the Apple Xserve server. It's not yet possible to specify two of the 3.33GHz Xeon processors in Apple's 8-core Mac Pro, which still only offers 2.26GHz, 2.66GHz and 2.93GHz options.  Apple have been tipped to release a 6-core, 12-thread Xeon (Gulftown) processor (built on 32nm processes and with 12MB of shared cache) in early 2010.

Apple hexacore Xeon Mac Pro with 128GB RAM tipped for early 2010

, Oct 15th 2009 Discuss [0]

It's been a while since we've seen a significant refresh to Apple's Mac Pro desktop range, and so a rumor regarding what overwhelming components the company might slot inside is certainly timely.  According to Hardmac's sources, Apple intend to outfit the Mac Pro with a 6-core, 12-thread Intel Xeon (Gulftown) processor, built on 32nm processes and with 12MB of shared cache.  The hexacore CPUs will be accompanied by up to 128GB of RAM and a 10Gbit/s ethernet port. That will be thanks to a newly modified, custom mainboard with support for 8GB and 16GB memory modules.  Early testing of the CPUs, at least, have indicated that the hexacore Xeon requires less power than a current-gen quadcore Xeon of the same 2.4GHz clock-speed.
