AMD aims supercomputer at mobile gaming "The AMD Fusion Render Cloud will transform movie and gaming experiences through server-side rendering - which stores visually rich content in a compute cloud, compresses it, and streams it in real-time over a wireless or broadband connection to a variety of devices such as smart phones, set-top boxes and ultra-thin notebooks." "The Fusion Render Cloud will use AMD gear including the Phenom II processors, AMD 790 chipsets, and ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics processors. It is being designed to break the petaflop processing barrie" http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10138469-92.html

"In an odd turn of events, Windows 8 has been banned from HWBot, one of the world’s top benchmarking and overclocking communities. All existing benchmarks recorded by Windows 8 have been disqualified. This is due to a fault in Windows 8′s real-time clock (RTC), which all benchmarking tools use as a baseline." http://www.extremetech.com/computing/164209-windows-8-banned-by-worlds-top-benchmarking-and-overclocking-site "Windows 8′s RTC isn’t reliable. According to HWBot, Microsoft made some changes to Windows 8′s timekeeping routines to allow for low-cost devices and embedded systems that don’t always have a conventional PC-compatible RTC. HWBot doesn’t give specifi…

Looks like nVidia is back in the high-end chipset game with their new nForce3 250Gb chipset for the Athlon64!! Here is a blurb from AnandTech.com: "nVidia is very proud of their on-chip implementation of Gigabit LAN. The concept is very similar to Intel's CSA bus, which was introduced with the Intel 875 chipset, in that it moves communications off the slower PCI to a faster bus. However, nVidia carries the concept even further by implementing their Gigabit LAN on the single-chip nForce3-250GB. This removes the 1Gb LAN from all buses and allows performance at the internal speed of the chip." ~~drool~~ "nVidia has tried to address these types of security risks wit…

On Tom's Hardware article on Networld+Interop 2004 Las Vegas Show Report - Wrap Up, from this page but it starts here! "ASUS also showed a wide line of switches including unmanaged, "smart" (VLAN, port control and QoS tagging) and fully-managed layer 2 and 3 switches in various combinations of 10/100 and 10/100/1000 port configurations. Its "smart" and managed models include quick-change fan modules, rack-mounting kits and dual-power capability. The mounting kit includes a simple, but robust post-and-hole feature that keeps switches from plummeting to the bottom of a rack if the mounting screws vibrate loose. On the low end of things, ASUS is trying to escape the fast…

ATI Radeon X700 XT / PRO Review "Rather than being based on R300, RV410's architecture is taken from R420 which results in X700 having longer pixel shader instruction capabilities and 3Dc normal map compression. The memory bus is also based on the new programmable memory bus from R420, which allows for much higher memory clock rates than any R300 based part, thus enabling X700 to utilise higher performance memory, making up a little for the lack of 256-bit memory bus." "If one of X700's goals was to bring last years high end performance down to a mainstream price then, for the most part they've succeeded with the X700 XT outperforming the 9800 PRO in most graphic…

Intel to put 64 bits in desktops in 2005 "Intel once said desktop buyers wouldn't really need 64-bit capabilities until toward the end of the decade, but the company will make such capabilities a feature across its desktop lines next year. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker disclosed at its analyst meeting in New York that it will include 64-bit functionality on its desktop chips starting in 2005, a schedule that roughly coincides with the release of a 64-bit version of Windows for desktops coming next year. The functionality will appear even in the budget Celeron line."
