Intel Skulltrail Motherboard Sneak Peek "As we mentioned in our initial look at Skulltrail, the platform is built around an Intel server-class motherboard tweaked for the enthusiast market. It also features dual 45nm quad-core processors for a total of eight cores, and because the Skulltrail mobo is outfitted with a pair of NVIDIA-built chips, it would support SLI as well. In our article from IDF we had a couple of pictures of a Skulltrail system, but because it was fully assembled and featured dual graphics cards, it was tough to see the foundation of the system – the motherboard – in all its glory."

Intel Sues Nvidia Over Chipset Licensing It's no secret that relations between chipmaker Intel and graphics developer Nvidia have become complicated lately, with Nvidia very publicly dismissing the quality of Intel's integrated graphics solutions and gunning not only for the high-end graphics market. Intel has filed suit against the graphics developer, claiming a four-year-old chipset licensing agreement between the two companies does not apply to future Intel processors with integrated memory controllers—and by that, Intel means it's forthcoming class of CPUs codenamed "Nehalem," a multi-core processor that will feature an integrated graphics controller and a new…

Nvidia's VP says the CPU is dead "There are no more lies and no more cold war between Intel and Nvidia. Surprisingly, Nvidia just started a full-scale frontal attack on the biggest semiconductor company in the world that we all know as Intel. ... There will be more let us just gather a few more things about this first attack. I am sure that Intel works hard on its counterattack and it probably won’t take any prisoners." More on Nvidia vs. Intel verbal warfare "Huang claims how Intel's integrated solutions are "a joke," and goes on by saying that even if Intel manages to increase their integrated graphics tenfold by 2010, that still won’t be enough to beat Nv…

Intel Yonah Performance Preview - Part I: The Exclusive First Look at Yonah "At 2.0GHz, Yonah is basically equal to, if not slightly slower than an Athlon 64 X2 running at the same clock speed in virtually all of the tests we ran. The important distinction here is that Intel is able to achieve that level of performance, without an on-die memory controller. But there is also one more thing to note, Yonah can offer that level of performance with significantly lower power consumption." For those keeping score at home, that would be equal to an Athlon64 3800+ X2

This has got to be one of the best and most polished games for the ipod Touch and iphone. Can not wait for EP2 Interview with Anders Hejdenberg, Developer of Dark Nebula http://appadvice.com/appnn/2010/01/apptalk...of-dark-nebula/ When starting out, we only had a rough idea of what we wanted to accomplish – but the main thing initially was to get the controls right. Without good controls, you have nothing. We started out using touch controls, but it just didn’t feel right. We tried out various different methods, but having your fingers all over the screen just felt too intrusive. We were used to making games that were controlled with analog sticks and butto…

Interview with PC Power & Cooling Founder "That sounds reasonable. This is also for example how the single 12V rail got into place. Why exactly is one 12V rail better than separate rails, and why is this not a safety issue for the user? DD: One 12V rail is better because all of the power supply's capacity is available to the system. With a multi-rail 12V design, as much as 30% of the PSU's capacity can be trapped on under-utilized rails. For example, if one 12V rail rated at 18A is for the CPU, and the CPU only draws 8A, the remaining 10A cannot be utilized by other components in the system. That's true. I had an AnandTech reader writing me about a problem wi…

SiN Episodes: Emergence - Past, Present and Future, Part 1 Has there been any specific feedback that you are going to incorporate into future Emergence patches or even episode 2? Have you gained any useful insights from statistics uploaded by players to Ritual? LEVELORD: Two issues come to mind for me. There are many, many cool suggestions being made on the forums, and we are reading all of them with open and eager eyes, but two are quite profound. The first is related to cliff hangers in the story that would transverse from episode to episode. Although it seems obvious that we should approach those in the same way as television shows like 24 and Lost, there …

Tim Sweeney on UE3 "BU: UT2004 required 5.5 gigs of hard drive space to install. This has got to be a strain a lot of people's systems. So you're talking 2048 x 2048 texture sets, what kind of system and memory is this next game going to take? TS: Well, we are aiming at the kind of PC that we think will be mainstream in 2006. We will also be able to scale it down. Basically DirectX 9 cards will be minimum spec, so any DirectX 9 shipping today will be capable of running our game, but probably at reduced detail. If you only have a 256 meg video card you will be running the game one step down, whereas if you have a video card with a gig of memory then you'll be able…

It makes PowerStink look worse... The team, which included folks from AMD, Cisco, Microsoft Research, Newisys, and S2io, transferred 859 gigabytes of data in less than 17 minutes. It did so at a rate of 6.63 gigabits per second (define) between the CERN facility in Geneva, Switzerland, and Caltech in Pasadena, Calif., a distance of more than 15,766 kilometers, or approximately 9,800 miles.
