AMD announces Barcelona quad-core processor "AMD today announced what the company calls the "most advanced x86 processor) as well as the first "native quad-core processor". Code-named Barcelona, the quad-core Opteron will be shipping in server systems this month.

Ageia Tests Next-Generation PhysX Accelerators "A web-site has published photos of what it claims to be a next-generation Ageia PhysX physics processing add-in-card. The board seems to be rather huge, while the revamped physics processing unit (PPU) also seems to be large, which implies that the new board will be rather powerful. The new Ageia PhysX card is designed for PCI Express x8/x16 slots and is much longer compared to the first incarnation of physics accelerator for personal computers and also has much more complex print-circuit board design. The new board also has external power connector, which indicates that the card has pretty high power consumption. Be…

Ultra X3 1600w Power Supply "Now interestingly enough, the packaging for the X3 1600w does not carry any multi-graphics card certifications, and none are mentioned in the manual or on Ultra’s product page. So a quick check of the SLIZone page and ATI CrossFire page were in order, but they too yielded nothing. As this product is relatively new and is not being launched with lots of press it could be that it hasn’t been submitted for certification yet. With hat all said the X3 1600w is billed as a single 12v rail 1600w power supply and if it can do all it is billed to, it will run any SLI or Crossfire setup going. Period."

Tyan readies new mobos, quad-core ready PSC "One of Tyan's major showpieces at Computex was the S4980, a motherboard that manages to squeeze four 1207-pin Opteron sockets and 16 DIMM slots into an Extended ATX form factor. As one might imagine, Tyan did cut some corners (literally) to be able to fit four Opterons in an EATX mobo. The board is only outfitted with one expansion slot—PCI Express x16—and it has "only" six Serial ATA ports. The S4980 is largely aimed at cluster systems, Tyan says."
