This technology news blog have already reported that the company intends to submit Galaxy weird video card based on two-chip GeForce GTS 250. These graphics solutions do not belong to the productive, so the feasibility of issue of such a “tandem” can be challenged. Nevertheless, the model of two-chip video card GeForce GTS 250 was in the test lab site ExpReview.

We begin by examining the exterior of the video card. Aluminum radiators GPUs “flower” arrangement deprived of their own fans, their cooling is engaged in a battery of three fans, enshrined in a special textolite frame. So-called Fan Card is installed in the adjacent expansion slot motherboard, fans do blow is near the video card. Fan speed is automatically adjusted according to the method of pulse-width modulation.

If a single-chip version of the GeForce GTS 250 works at frequencies 738/1836/2200 MHz, dual-chip performance in the frequency reduced to 600/1500/2000 MHz, if you believe the screenshot GPU-Z. Tests, however, were carried out at frequencies 675/1696/2000 MHz. Each of the two GPUs on a 128 stream processors and communicates with 512 MB of memory type GDDR-3 on the 256-bit bus. In the 3DMark Vantage test, the tandem is 5% faster than a single GeForce GTX 280. However, the biggest drawback video Galaxy may become a high price, data on which no.

In the fourth quarter of last year, demand has shifted to more productive processors Intel, which enabled the company to report on improving the average selling prices. Indeed, the emergence of relatively accessible 32 nm processors in the performance of LGA 1156 should be a powerful catalyst for the spread of the platform on the market. Attention is focused on the overclockers reports from the front disperse 32 nm processors Clarkdale, who are already working at frequencies above 7 GHz.

Does this mean that the days are numbered LGA 775 platform? Not at all, because Intel has continued to produce new models of processors in this constructive performance. Secondly, as the website Fudzilla with an implicit reference to the roadmap Intel, in the current quarter, the share of processors in LGA 775 in the structure of the company’s sales amount to 77%, and even in the fourth quarter of this year, she will not fall below 50%. As you can see, the impending demise of LGA 775 to speak prematurely.

However, the expansion of the LGA 1156 platform will be proportional. If now only 18% supplied by Intel processors has performance LGA 1156, by the end of the year, their share will increase to 44%. Atom processors in the volume of deliveries Intel now occupy 5% by the end of the year, their share will rise to 7%. LGA 1366 platform in this sense is not progressing – its share will have no more than 1% of all Intel desktop processors, even at the end of this year.

If you believe the company Biostar, AMD introduced the first chipsets with congenital interface support SATA-600 in March this year. As you know, Intel has the support SATA-600 and USB 3.0 is not interested in before 2011. Only recently there have been suggestions that support these interfaces offer chipsets, sixth series, to be released in the first quarter of 2011.

Site System Diary Technology News Blog in his usual manner to give birth this week, a scattering of news about Intel generation Sandy Bridge, which will appear on the market next year. This resource has confirmed that the chipsets’ sixth series processors will support the generation of Sandy Bridge, but also provide inherent support for SATA-600. O interface support USB 3.0 chipsets in this series of precise information yet.

Emerging details about the pricing policy in respect of Sandy Bridge. Processors of this generation will be able to fit into a price range of Core i7-930 (2.8 GHz). This means that the processors Sandy Bridge at the beginning of next year can be bought for about $ 284. The integrated graphics core will be located on a single chip with cores. Graphics subsystems will even quad-core generation of Sandy Bridge. According to some reports, the performance graphics core processors Sandy Bridge will double. Sandy Bridge architecture will make an evolutionary improvement over the Nehalem, if you believe the information available.

How does the technology of Intel Turbo Boost, many of you know, not only in theory. Modern desktop systems still do not know how to effectively use all the processor cores – the bulk of the load usually falls on one or two nuclei. Intel company proposed to dynamically increase the frequency of the busiest nuclei that work was done quickly. The level of heat of the processor at the same time must remain within specified limits – in the case of overheating frequency “overclocked” nuclei decreases.

In late December site System Diary Technology News Blog reported that the six-core AMD processors will support the mysterious technology of “C-state performance boost”, the essence of which we were able to clear only now. It turns out that preparing for the announcement of processors Thuban and Zosma can also get support from some analog technology Turbo Boost, which will dynamically overclock the most loaded processor cores. Managing such “acceleration” is implemented in hardware within processors.

How the situation will affect the use of motherboards based on older chipsets, we do not undertake to judge. It is possible that the quad-core processors Zosma this technology will also be supported. Provides for protection against overheating, which will oversee the crackdown, and to limit it if necessary. Transcend TDP processor, this technology does not allow. Of course, in quiescent processor cores will not be dispersed.

The phenomenon of the popularity of netbooks all assessed differently. Intel company initially feared that more affordable netbooks “devour” part of the sales of full-size notebooks. Later, Intel representatives have come to the conclusion that the magnitude of this disaster are greatly exaggerated, but restrictions on the size of the screen netbook Intel did not shoot. This year, producers are concerned another trend: the volume production of cheap computers are growing, profits are falling, they are unable to earn enough money.

There have been conflicting and mood. For example, a company ARM Holdings growing popularity of netbooks is only good. These cheap computers will eventually win 90% of the market, according to representatives of the ARM.

Many analysts agree that the pace of growth in sales netbooks start to slow later this year. The past is in 2009 demonstrated impressive dynamics – how the website RegHardware citing research data Strategy Analytics, for all 2009 were sold 30.2 million netbooks that a 79% increase the previous year. Largest netbook manufacturers are Acer, Asus, HP and Dell. The growth of this market segment will continue in 2010, experts said Strategy Analytics, as the Atom processors are improved, and processors with ARM architecture are gaining popularity in this field of application.

If you rely on research data IDC, the share of netbooks in the past year accounted for about 17-20% market share in mobile computers. Consequently, this category of computers is still very far from the promised ARM level of market penetration. Note that this year the company Acer is going to bet on the promotion of ultrathin laptops P CULV, whi

The first mention of overclocking version of the Radeon HD 5770 performed by MSI “, nicknamed” Hawk was associated with some embarrassment – to the filing of first-hand all the news sites have given a new product of cutting the ear called the English-speaking reader Hawx. In fact, the MSI would give his card “falcon” (born hawk), that was confirmed on Friday published an official press release.

Video originally conceived as a product-oriented overclockers. Manufacturer claims that the power supply subsystem MSI R5770 Hawk was built under the scheme “7 +1″ phases, while the standard Radeon HD 5770 graphics device power supply subsystem is described by the formula “4 + 1″ phase. Already this difference, on assurances of MSI, can expect to improve the overclocking potential of video to 20%.

Looking ahead, it should be noted that colleagues from Guru3D managed to overclock this card with nominal frequencies 875/4800 MHz to 1050/5660 MHz. Core voltage was increased to 1.3, with the same proprietary utility allows you to increase the Vcore to 1.35 V. The reference the same version of Radeon HD 5770 operates at frequencies 850/4800 MHz.

Cooling System Twin Frozr II features three heatpipes and two fans. The cooler can reduce the temperature of the GPU at 13 degrees Celsius compared with the standard version of the Radeon HD 5770 technology. The advantage of the cooler can be attributed, and his exceptionally quiet operation. Special slot in the back of the printed circuit board allows you to measure the voltage on the core and memory using a multimeter. Price should not offend potential customers – MSI R5770 Hawk will be only $ 20-25 more expensive than the standard version of the Radeon HD 5770.

EVGA Corporation has an impressive range of motherboards based on chipset Intel X58, which are well proven in the crackdown. Support 3-Way SLI and 4-Way SLI to these motherboards can combine the performance of multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions to the power of the flagship processors Intel. The next month will be submitted to the 32 nm processor Core i7-980X Extreme Edition with six cores, which has tacitly subscribed to the top of rating Futuremark. According to some reports, EVGA is preparing for the announcement of the motherboard, capable of sheltering two such processors at once.

According to the System Diary Technology News Blog this week, EVGA has proved that is not going to lag behind its competitors in the pace of preparation for the exit processors Gulftown. In a special section of the forum EVGA released a BIOS update for the motherboard based on chipset Intel X58, which support 32 nm processors in the LGA 1366.

At the same time introduce the support function Turbo Performance and corrected the error associated with the regime Memory DDR3-1866.

Out of Intel’s solid state disk market has seriously changed the balance of power in this segment. CPU giant not only managed to create a fast drives, but was able to offer competitive prices for them due to the use of advanced technological processes. This year, Intel will start producing solid state drives for personal computers, based on 25 nm memory.

As the site of System Diary Technology News Blog, with reference to statements by representatives of Intel, the company sets itself the task of becoming the global leader in the segment SSD – at least on the North American market. The world market leader in SSD is owned by Samsung, its place Intel does not pretend. In this case, Intel is more important than leadership in the technological sphere, but not control over the greater share of the market. This year, Intel wants to bring SSD drives like a narrow niche in the mass market segment.

According to independent experts, expect Intel to limit the generosity of pricing should not be. If the company and will reduce the production cost of SSD due to transition to a more “subtle” process technology, the savings she had left in his pocket, but not in wallets of consumers. In 2010 the world market SSD expanded from 1 million to 3.5 million units, according to forecasts Intel.

Panasonic has recently started mass production of high-capacity lithium-ion battery, which will differ enhanced reliability and safety.

The design of the battery has index 18650 and presupposes the existence of the insulating layer of metal oxide, located between the positive and negative electrodes. Panasonic calls it the Heat Resistance Layer, it increases the dimensions of the battery, but at the same time prevents overheating and protects against fire, even in the event of a short circuit.

The positive electrode in the new batteries made from nickel, the density of electricity in a battery of 675 watt-hours per liter. Other benefits of the new design include an increase in the life of the lithium-ion batteries and the increased ability to conserve the charge. It should be noted that the capacity charge a new battery is 3.1 amp-hour, while a conventional batteries used for laptops, this figure does not exceed 2.9 ampere-hour.

It is still unknown when the first consumer electronic device with new safe batteries Panasonic.

Biochemist at the University of Ontario has developed a conceptual device – contact lenses that change color depending on the level of glucose in the blood.

Diabetics who do not fit the traditional method of measuring the level of glucose in the blood or whether he simply got tired of them, perfect and innovative way, recently submitted.

Biochemist at the University of Ontario has developed a conceptual device – contact lenses that change color depending on the level of glucose in the blood. Lenses are made of composite hydrogel and reacts with molecules of glucose in tear fluid. The change of color can be used to measure glucose levels.

While the inventor has to deal with different issues: how long you can wear these lenses without discomfort, I will need to have the recipe, do not think the fact that conventional glucometer process is faster, but still need to put the lens in the eye. Nevertheless, this is a serious and promising development, which has a great future.
