Intel Poulson Itanium CPU On Track for Q2 2012 Production

Despite all the controversy surrounding the Itanium architecture, Intel still hasn’t canceled its plans for the next-generation Poulson core, which according to a recent report should enter production in the second quarter of 2012. Poulson is Intel's most complex general-purpose processor to date as it features 3.1 billion transistors inside a 588 square millimeter die (Sandy Bridge-E includes 2.27 billion transistors).  Compared to the current Tukwilla, the chip doubles the number of cores available (from four to eight), packs a 12-instruction wide pipeline as well as a series of multithreading enhancements, and new instructions to take advantage of parallelism, especially in virtualization. In addition, the chip features 54MB of total...

Nvidia GTX 780 Performance Estimates Surface

Many suppositions regarding Nvidia’s next-generation Kepler GPUs have come our way during this last week, but now an even more startling rumor has started circulating on the Web. According to this, Nvidia’s upcoming solutions will be released into the GTX 700-series and, the top part, named the GTX 780, will be able to deliver a twofold increase in performance over the current GTX 580. At the heart of these rumors, stands a slide that was recently published on a Chinese forum, which pretty much suggests that the GTX 780 will blow all its competitors out of the water. It goes without saying that we doubt the authenticity of this slide as the performance increase seems too high from one generation to the other, but if indeed true than Nvidia...

AMD A8-3870K and A6-3670K Specs and Pricing Unveiled, Arrive on Dec 26

We pretty much knew about AMD’s plans to release the A8-3870K and A6-3670K multiplier unlocked Llano APUs for quite some time now, but a series of leaked company slides just arrived to reveal a bit more info about these upcoming processors. The slides, which were published on the Donanim Haber website, seem like they were taken out of an official AMD presentation and describe in great detail the specifications of these APUs. As we pretty much knew from other sources, the two processors greatly resemble their predecessors and feature just a slight frequency boost, making the A8-3870K work at 3GHz compared to the 2.9GHz of the A8-3850 it replaces. A 100MHz clock increase is also what separates the 2.7GHz clocked A6-3670K from the A6-3650,...

VIA x86 Motherboards Get Android Support

Android is spreading its influence to parts of the worldwide IT market other than the mobile segment, with VIA, in this case, helping it along.

Being an embedded motherboard, it comes complete with a processor, specifically the VIA NANO X2...

AMD Says It Started Shipping 28nm GPUs for Revenue

AMD has just officially announced that is has started shipping next-generation graphics cores fabricated using TSMC’s 28nm process technology for revenue, confirming rumors that suggested the company is getting ready to launch new GPUs at the start of next year. "We are ramping 28nm [products] with TSMC in Taiwan and shipping the products here and now.  “We are very excited about the products," said Rory Read, chief executive officer of AMD, during IT Supply Chain conference organized by Raymond James.

MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) Motherboard Supports 128 GB RAM

Micro-Star International decided this was a good time for a new flagship motherboard to be released, so it put together the X79A-GD45 (8D). The new item is not precisely something that was designed from the ground up, so to speak. Instead, this is a modification, of sorts, of another mainboard, one that has been on sale for a month or so. More precisely, the X79A-GD45 (8D) is a slightly more powerful version of the X79A-GD45 revealed in November. By stronger, it means that this motherboard has eight memory module slots instead of 'just' four. In other words, as if 64 GB of RAM wasn't already more than enough, the MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) can handle the absurd DDR3 capacity of 128 GB. The X79 chipset's support for quad-channel random access memory...

BlackBerry Network Outage Hits Again - 12/15/2011

BlackBerry users who already experienced the outage that hit RIM services almost two months ago and have yet to switch to another mobile platform will probably be tempted to do so now. It appears that all Blackberry services are down again, including BlackBerry Messenger and email. Although we received reports from Romania it is likely that the network outage affects more regions. Any other application that requires data connection, including AppWorld is not accessible at this moment. In addition, the BlackBerry outage seems to affect Internet browsing as well. We have contacted RIM for an official statement regarding this issue, but until we receive an answer we have no idea what region are affected at this moment. If you're affected, let...
