Chris Davies, Sep 11th 2009 Discuss [0]

Temped by Crysis on the iPhone? Even with its most recent processor and graphics boost, Apple's 3GS smartphone isn't quite up to that level, but OTOY have been showing off how, thanks to AMD's next-gen GPUs, they can squirt Crysis-level HD gaming across a network to your mobile. AMD demonstrated their next-gen platform's 2.5 teraFLOPS of floating-point power and DirectX 11 abilities this week, and OTOY were on hand to show Ars Technica just how they're using all that power.

AMD debut Tigris 2009 Notebook Platform & 2nd-Gen Ultrathin Platform

Ewdison Then, Sep 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

AMD have revealed their latest attempt to corner the market in notebook hardware, with the launch of the 2009 AMD Mainstream Notebook Platform "Tigris" and the Second-Generation AMD Ultrathin Platform. Both combine AMD's latest CPUs and ATI-range GPUs, and promise up to 42-percent improved performance in the mainstream range and ultraportables that "visibly outperform" rival systems (such as Intel's CULV, we presume) when it comes to 3D gaming, media processing and more.

AMD CPU and HD 4570 GPU packed into Clevo budget laptops

Chris Davies, Sep 9th 2009 Discuss [0]

AMD are talking up their latest collaboration with manufacturer Clevo, packing the chipmakers' Athlon 64 X2 processor and ATI Radeon HD 4570 graphics into what's described as "an optimal price". While the targets of these new machines - unnamed by the AMD press release and seemingly yet to show up on Clevo's own site - are developing markets, we can't help but think that it's not just Brazil and Taiwan who would like "long battery life" and "exceptional video performance" with a budget price.

Toshiba U500 Ducati Laptop Gets Pictured and Gawked At

Evan Selleck, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

We're sure that Toshiba could announce some more things, but this is getting ridiculous. This time around, we've got a laptop, and one that's sure to attract some onlookers, if for anything else because it's Ducati-branded. Getting a name-brand, on top of the manufacturer's name brand, isn't a new practice, especially for company's hoping they can get an extra buck or two from it. Although, it is nice to see an actual Ducati right next to the laptop. It definitely gives the little piece of tech a more attractive appeal. Read The Full Story

ATI Radeon 4000 series graphics cards get into Mac computers

Shane McGlaun, Aug 31st 2009 Discuss [1]

Apple is one of the most popular brands in computers inside the U.S. and has been using NVIDIA GPUs in many of its products like its line of MacBooks for a while. The NVIDIA 9400 series GPUs that Apple was using were subject to significantly higher than normal failure rates leading to many notebooks failing or having issues with graphics. After such failures, many wouldn't be surprised if Apple is seeking a new GPU supplier for its computers. Read The Full Story

Any PC gamer will tell you that the better your video card is the better graphics you get when you play PC games. We see lots of customized NVIDIA video cards with new cooling solutions and other features come across the market, but custom ATI video cards are less common. Read The Full Story

ATI DirectX 11 video card live images leak

Chris Davies, Aug 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

AMD made a big song and dance of their new ATI DirectX 11 video card last week, showing it off for the first time at QuakeCon and putting on some heady demonstrations of its indecently high performance. Well, we say "showing it off", but actually AMD kept a tight lid on the physical design of the new card; unfortunately not tight enough to avoid Chiphell getting their hands on some leaked images.

Chris Davies, Aug 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

With official photos, full specifications, an unboxing and demo video behind us, all that's left for MSI's X-Slim X600 - before a post eventually saying it's been retired, of course - is a full review. Happily LaptopMag are on hand to deliver just that, putting the 15.6-inch CULV ultraportable through its paces to see if it's more than just good looks or falls flat like its smaller X340 sibling.
