Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba and Samsung release surf boards with Windows RT

Microsoft's tough demands on manufacturers involves only four actors will introduce the surf boards with Windows RT in 2012. The rest are forced to wait until early next year. In addition to Microsoft's Tablet Surface is silent on future devices with Windows RT, although a number of partner manufacturers will be on the track and prepare products using Windows for ARM. Now it appears that Microsoft keeps manufacturers under heavy review in order to focus development resources on a smaller number of tablets.

Nvidia publishes Graphic demo: A New Dawn

The owner of a graphics card from generation Kepler can now download video demo A New Dawn and look at everything from tesselerade hairs to physics accelerated animations. While game developers are busy with getting the latest titles to work with so many different computer systems as possible, Nvidia's programmers go the whole hog and exclude all but the very latest. In the upcoming graphic demo: A New Dawn demonstrated the potential of architecture Kepler.

Core i7-3970X in the offing - takes Sandy Bridge-E to 4.0 Ghz

While Ivy Bridge takes care of the consumer market, Intel plans to launch a new flagship Core i7 3900 series, which can step up to the milestone of 4.0 GHz. Although the family Sandy Bridge-E is one of the most expensive processor on the market today have model series have been overlooked, largely because of the cheaper and more power-efficient newcomers Ivy Bridge with 22 nanometer manufacturing technology. The platform LGA 2011 is not forgotten.

Intel Ivy Bridge in Stores

Anyone planning to upgrade to Ivy Bridge. Many computer stores have already CPUs in stock or awaiting the first deliveries in early next week. In total there are ten quad-core processors in the Core i7 and i5 series, including overclocking friendly K and low-power S and T are 65 and 45 W TDP. Several of low energy variants still missing and probably starting index within two or three days.

Nvidia launch GeForce GTX 690

It was none other than Nvidia's founder and President CEO Jen-Hsun Huang took the stage for NGF in Shanghai and presented the Geforce GTX 690 , the newest member of the family Kepler.

Everything was not about graphics. On the stage was more news on the games front, including a couple of titles for the domestic market. In addition, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli on hand to demonstrate Warface, a future "free to play" game based on Cryengine 3, and of course Crysis third

Intel lowers prices for Ivy Bridge

Future processors with architecture Ivy Bridge not only replaces Sandy Bridge. New rumors that the newcomers also be fitted with lower price tags. n approximately one week released the third generation of Intel Core processor, known under the code name Ivy Bridge. The newcomers will replace plain and simple current models of architecture Sandy Bridge and is intended to deliver higher performance at lower power consumption.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Kepler 2 GB

Introduction

How time flies. The last time we had a bleeding-edge graphics card from NVIDIA to try by fire, was exactly a year ago, with the launch of GeForce GTX 590. Quite a bit changed since then. Rival AMD is just about done with the launch of its Radeon HD 7000 series "Southern Islands" GPU family, and NVIDIA's answer to that felt wanted, for the past 3 months or so. Well, it’s finally here – our GeForce GTX 680 Kepler review.

Both evolutionary and revolutionary changes have gone into making the GeForce GTX 680. It's evolutionary in that it's designed to be an upgrade over its immediate predecessor (and not something two generations behind), and revolutionary new features make sure GTX 680 is a worthy upgrade. The evolutionary part of course is that NVIDIA wants to reclaim the title of having the fastest GPU out there; and the revolutionary part is a vibrant feature-set that supposedly contributes to never before seen energy-efficiency levels, to accomplish those steep design goals. 

Samsung 30 nm Green PC3-12800 Low Profile 1.35 V DDR3

Introduction

Over the past couple of months, there's been quite an uproar on various tech forums about Samsung's latest 30 nm Low-Power "Green" DDR3. During the time since they were "discovered", we've seen reports of 1600 MHz sticks hitting 2400 MHz and more, a healthy 50%+ overclock ability that in today's memory market is very near unheard of. Non-plussed, I managed to source a sample to take a look, and investigate the hype. Here's what Samsung has to say about their latest Low Power "Green" DDR3 on their website:

First in the Market with Advanced DDR3

Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000 W

Introduction

We would like to thank Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.

Cooler Master's Silent Pro M series has been around for a long time and it was time for a fresh series to take over, so the M2 was released as replacement. Currently the Silent Pro M2 ranks third in CM's PSU series portfolio, below Silent Pro Hybrid and Silent Pro Gold. The most noteworthy difference of M2, in characteristics, to the two aforementioned series is the efficiency certification which dropped to silver and bronze levels in order to retain lower prices.

The new M2 units come in six flavors with capacities ranging from 420W to 1000W. The two stronger units with 1000W and 850W have Silver efficiency while all others are Bronze. Here we should note that at the time of the review no member of the M2 series was officially certified but we are pretty sure that this is just a matter of time.

Patriot Viper Extreme PC3-16000 CL9 1.65 V DDR3

Introduction

Last week I took a look at some new memory on the market, but today, we go back in time a bit, all the way back to October 19, 2010, and take a look at an older kit, that just might be more relevant to an overclocker than first meets the eye. The Patriot PX538G2000ELK is a 2000 MHz kit that was originally intended for the P55 platform, but we have entirely different plans for this kit. Here's what Patriot themselves has to say about this kit:

Gigabyte HD 7770 OC

A few weeks ago AMD launched their Radeon HD 7700 Series. The cards use the all-new Cape Verde graphics processor which is based on AMD's new GCN Graphics Core Next architecture that promises increased performance and lower power draw.

Cape Verde is a downscale from the "Tahiti" silicon, on which higher Radeon HD 7900 series parts are based. There are fewer number of redundant components, so Cape Verde is left functionally-identical to Tahiti, but is smaller, built for more affordable graphics cards. Cape Verde also retains the basic hierarchy of the architecture as implemented in Tahiti.

Gigabyte's HD 7770 OC is a custom implementation of the HD 7770. It features a massively increased GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz. Memory clock has been increased too, to 1250 MHz.
