Judging from this prototype image they are in fact working on just that, a dual GPU graphics card based on the GeForce 9800. The reason it looks like they took apart a pair of 9800’s and inverted one of them on top of the other and combined the interfaces is because that’s more or less [...]
VIA is releasing its new x86 processor called Isaiah. The chip is deemed to perform twice as fast as VIA’s current processor while maintaining the same amount of power consumption.
So, we know from the keynote that the MacBook Air has a Core 2 Duo that is 60% smaller than the normal Core 2 Duo chip, and we know that this came out of a partnership with Apple. What we don’t know too much about is anything else including the how or why.
Toshiba have taken the Cell CPU usually found in a Sony PS3 and put it into a concept Qosmio G45 laptop, giving the machine a total of six processors (the original Core 2 Duo is still there, plus the four 1.5GHz synergistic processing elements in the Cell) and the ability to perform high-complexity visual tasks in [...]
Not wanting to get left behind by Acer and Fujitsu-Siemens, Sony is preparing to launch its Penryn based laptops. The VAIO AR7, FZ4, and SZ7 will feature Intel’s new Core 2 Duo mobile that uses 45nm-manufacturing process. The Santa Rosa Refresh platform combined with Penryn based CPU will give laptop users longer battery life. Now [...]
This is about as cutting edge as I’ve seen a motherboard in a long time, lets start with the fact that it supports the Intel Yorkfield CPUs. From there we’ll move on to the 3-way SLI capability (can’t you see the 3 PCIe x16 slots?) and the 1333MHz FSB speed.
I like it when electronics manufacturers make their businesses more like McDonalds so I can have it my way. To this end, Toshiba has recently started selling a notebook, the Satellite T31, which comes with both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Almost a month to the day from now, Intel will be unleashing their first mobile processors based on the 45nm process. The models will include the Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, T8300, T9300, T9500, and the Core 2 Extreme X9000 chips.
The slowest, the T8100, will run at 2.1GHz and the T8300 will run at 2.4GHz, [...]
Remember those triple-core processors I told you about a while back? Well basically they were the quad-core processors that had only one damaged core and they were more or less repurposed as triple-core processors.
Jesus Christo! That’s a lot of freaking power! I guess if you are attempting Quad-SLI with dual Quad-Core Xeons and 20 hard drives you might need that kind of power.
I only give that example because I can’t readily think of any situation where I would need that much power in a single PC case where [...]
