The Turbo Boost from Intel rival AMD is now taking Turbo Core. If some cores in multicore processors are not required, they are heruntergetaktet and is the cycle at the busy cores increases. The new AMD Phenom CPUs II X6 will be the first AMD processors that take advantage of turbo-Core.

The CPUs of computers are equipped with more and more CPU cores, but rarely are all the cores busy. Often, not all cores are required by the software or simply not used. In this case, it makes sense to let the actual working cores run faster, and unnecessary slow. This is called dynamic overclocking.

Often it would be better, of course, the programmers of the software would take advantage of the multi-core CPUs, but the software development lags advances in chip production after quite a while.

Intel has been the market leader for more than a year his Turbo Boost, AMD, however, had this been counter not match. Turbo Core is not as sophisticated as Turbo Boost, but it is AMD, the hurdle for the use of turbo-core low. There are no new motherboard, no new drivers, no extra software, such as AMD Overdrive required.

According to AMD will support all Socket AM3 motherboards Turbo Core, when a BIOS update was made. Not surprisingly, therefore, that used Turbo Core AMD not already in its recently announced Magny-Cours CPUs for servers. When first using the new hexa-core processors, the Phenom series II X6 (code name: Thuban) Turbo Core. The Phenom CPUs, AMD will launch X6 II during the current quarter.

Asus drives the spread of the new USB 3.0 standard is continuing, and emphasizes the technical superiority over competing products. Sun USB 3.0 is not always the same USB 3.0.

The new USB 3.0 standard is for new transmission speeds and provide seamless data exchange larger amounts. Asus pursues the theme from the beginning and already offers a wide range of hardware with USB 3.0 support. Sun Asus was the first manufacturer to USB 3.0 integrated on a motherboard. The PCIe x4 chipset Asus boasts it is so superior to the competition in terms of speed to be. Sun USB 3.0 is not always the same speed.

Other manufacturers to buy the speed advantage over the USB 3.0 data transfer with a general loss of performance of the system, because other parts have to suffer from the transmission load. Here is the PCIe x4 chip by up to 75 percent more quickly than the products of the competition. Asus has integrated the technology now in many different laptops and other devices. A retrofit solution has Asus PCIe x4 card in a standalone program.

Especially powerful is the P6X58D Premium motherboard, which has reached the first of its kind with official certification of the new Super Speed standard by the USB Implementation Forum (USB-IF). Asus USB 3.0 currently offers around 15 different motherboard series, the Eee PC 1018/1015/1016, the Eee Box nettop 1510U/1210U and in the N Series notebooks. announced also the new feature-N82JV VX020V and N61JA-JX008V, a 14-inch and one 16-inch notebook for users with multimedia requirements, which have among other NVIDIA graphic cards, HD resolution, HDMI output and a 500 gigabyte hard drives can.

Surely not tell you anything new but what the hell is happening with Apple hardware? That great company that Apple is and always has been “medals” for being an innovator in introducing new technologies and features into their equipment is starting to find more outdated than ever. Computers that take years to update, teams that fall below their benefits, professional computer clearly at a disadvantage with other similar equipment and Why Apple Is not remember which also makes computers?

Lately it seems that Apple hardware is little they can provide are design improvements and some other special features like illuminated keyboards, track pads more comfortable … is that all? I hate to tell, but if today is that entire Apple is offering on most computers.

For the CeBIT, MSI has an all-in-one PC announced that it is specifically designed for 3D content and will be delivered including 3D glasses.

At CeBIT in Hanover, the manufacturer MSI a new All-in-one wants to imagine a 24-inch computer touch screen with LED technology and built-in speakers who will bring all before, what is needed for the benefit of 3D content. Nevertheless, he is expected to cost less than $ 2,000. MSI will offer different versions of the computer to make it more interesting for buyers with smaller purses.

The LED display provides a frame rate of 120Hz and Full HD in 1080p resolution. A shutter glasses for viewing 3D movies and 3D games, with one as standard. With technical details adheres MSI back yet, but it should be used in the latest Core i7 CPUs from Intel, which is after all already known. The worldwide sale is scheduled to begin in June 2010.

Chip manufacturer Intel launched three new processors in the next quarter of its Core series to the market. In addition to a quad-core CPU two dual-core processors are planned.

New Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs will be available in spring and complement the existing offers. Presumably, they come as Intel Core i3-550, Intel Core i5-680 and Intel Core i7-880 on the market. An exact date for it is not yet clear.

The Intel Core i7-880 nm in one 45-proceedings produced quad-core process is at 3.06 GHz and a cache of 8 MB. Using Turbo Boost will dynamically adjust its performance. In this case, the clock rate would go up to 3.73 GHz. The CPU supports DDR3 memory with 1,333 MHz, the TDP is 95 watts. The Intel Core i7-880 can fit between the Core i7-870 and the Core i7-920.

In the other two CPUs are dual-core processors: The Intel Core i5-680 works with 3.60 GHz and uses a 4 MB cache. With the turbo boost button, the clock rate rises to 3.86 GHz. The processor supports DDR3 memory with 1,333 MHz, the TDP is 73 watts.

The weakest of the three new Intel processors, the Core i3 i3-550 with 3.20 GHz. The process produced 32-nm processor Westmere series reaches a TDP of 73 watts. In addition to further performance improvement for clients also include features such as energy efficiency, security and multimedia capabilities.

The company Green House has presented its new line of CompactFlash memory cards, and they supported a speed of 433x, and therefore a read speed of up to 65MB per second and a write speed of 35MB per second or 25MB per second for the smallest version.

The new CF memory cards this weighs just 10 grams of performing the CF 4.1 standard and that there will be soon in the sizes of 8GB, 16GB and 32GB of disk space to buy in shops.

Compact Impact of the house of a new mini-projector with the new model, LED105 was presented and this model has an LED bulb, which has a lifespan of around 20,000 hours.

In addition, a brightness of 150 ANSI lumens comes into play, a contrast of 1000: 1 and a maximum resolution of SVGA or 800 x 600 Furthermore, connections for S-Video, VGA and composite in place and the selling price should be around 680 U.S. $ (about 475 €) are what you can get almost a real projector.

Meanwhile, we wait eagerly awaiting the first DirectX 11 graphics cards from the house of AMD and ATI and we can already now the first model you imagine where this will probably ATI.

ChipHell The website has the first pictures of the new Radeon HD4770 graphics card published, which not only supports DirectX11, but also CrossFireX. Furthermore, there is 1GB of GDDR5 graphics memory, connectors for 2x DVI, HDMI and Display Port and it will be an additional 6-pin PCIe power plug required to get the graphics card with enough power. Benchmarks are available in this course, however, not yet, but more photos on the source.

The company Eye-Fi makes you long time already Cards of type SD ago, what with integrated wireless equipment. Now there is the memory card under the name Eye-Fi Geo with the geotagging function and the photos will get a signature, when and where on the memory card are stored.

They offer the Eye-Fi memory cards Geo also support for various Apple products, such as iPhoto 08 / 09 as well as applications for the iPhone and the new Geo Eye-Fi SD memory card should appear shortly in the trade.

The company has its new Corsair Dominator DDR3 Ram GT Kits are presented, which the first dual-channel DDR3 kits, called Dominator GT, and the new RAM modules to own especially in the use of AM3 Phenom II processors.

The new Dominator GT 4GB Kit (2x 2GB) are equipped with a timing of CL 6-6-6-18 which will be addressed with 1.65Volt voltage and have a clock speed of 1600Mhz. In addition, there is support for the AMD Black Edition Memory Profile (BEMP), thus also the overclocking via AMD OverDrive is possible and the new RAM modules can soon zb Corsair on the online shop to buy, at a price of 349 U.S. $ (approx. 249 €).

We had already been approved by you coming P6X58 Premium motherboard from Asus home reported that the first time with a USB 3.0 connection should be. Now, however, be loud voices on the network that the motherboard does not even appear.

A real reason for the cessation of production was however not yet known, but it is not necessarily so tragic. As soon as the first USB 3.0 for the other manufacturers will be installed, the new USB 3.0 motherboards already appear, although somewhat later.
