Gigabyte G1.Sniper 2: €400 for a card mother LGA-1155?

The Taiwanese manufacturer Gigabyte will soon launch a motherboard Z68/LGA-1155 to more than €400...

A little over five years ago, the motherboard in the heart of an Intel platform offered a considerable amount of features that are now directly integrated into Santa Clara giant processors. It was justifiable to spend some money on this component. This logic is now ancient history, and it is difficult to see how Gigabyte can afford to seek more than €400 for the G1.Sniper 2.

This motherboard is the players, a population that the Taiwanese manufacturer clearly considered cows milk. To the ATX, it incorporates the Intel Z68 Express chipset and socket LGA-1155, which also supports the current Sandy Bridge, as the future Ivy Bridge.  It has also four slots supporting the DDR3 to 2133 MHz on two channels, and two slots PCI Express x 16 (SNB, IVB 3.0 2.0), which are compatible with SLI, CrossFireX, and Virtu technologies.

Like Google + for Facebook, the new micro-blogging service Heello place in direct competitor of Twitter. Heello takes the concept of Twitter with different words so it no longer follows a contact, but on listening and "retweet" turns into ECHO. However, as on Twitter, the length of the messages is limited, here it is 140 maximum signs.


Created by the founder of TwitPic, Noah Everett, this service is somewhat the response of the Shepherd to the Shepherdess. Indeed, Twitter has launched his own partnership with Photobucket photos hosting service so far, it was the service TwitPic was the most used with Flickr, Instagram and Yfrog. The creator of TwitPic, if Twitter starts to compete with its developers, it is normal that they do the same.


Indeed, since the Chirp Conference last year, the Twitter site decided to regain control on several activities. It has for example its own application on all platforms, which although not obviously arranges not third-party developers, and, it hosts him even photos. Communication between developers and Twitter is at a standstill, and the situation is not ready to arrange. More than a competitor, Heello finally is a warning for Twitter that would do well to treat its partners, who are also the first users of the service.

Known Ivy Bridge, which will be the next generation of Intel processor with the 22 nm, will be compatible with Socket 1155 via a bios update. Gigabyte publishes a list revealing its motherboards series 6 compatible with Ivy Bridge as well as with the standard PCI-Express 3.0.


Support for the PCI-Express 3.0 standard is unique since it depends on the used processor. The Sandy Bridge integrates current processors a controller, which manages 16 lines PCI-Express 2.0 used for graphics cards. Unlike Ivy Bridge will handle sixteen lines PCI-Express 3.0 standard. Slots PCI-Express 3.0 and 2.0 being the same, a switch on the motherboard will then allow following the processor installed to use one or the other.
Course according to the number of adapters installed sixteen lines PCI-Express 3.0 will be spread over one or two ports PCI-Express.Here is the list of motherboards Gigabyte compatible PCI-Express 3.0 and Ivy Bridge via a bios update:

Logo_AMD_Graphique


AMD updates days its drivers for its graphics cards these are then version 11.7. Unlike usual performance gain step announced but many bugs corrected.The Catalyst 11.7 drivers will be compatible with cards graphics for desktop and mobile HD 2400 to HD 6900 Series.Resolved issues relate primarily to Windows 7: the problems of the mouse lags, problems introduced by the Catalyst 11.6 version using the exit HDMI/Display Port, finally the problems encountered in the VLC software, WinDVD and PowerDVD were resolved.Concerning the games the 11.7 version correct a bug of the cinematic rendering in Shogun II in Eyefinity configuration. Corrections made on Portal 2 concern the sparkles on the water using Shaders in medium and low quality.


The Catalyst are of course compatible with versions of Windows XP, Vista and Seven in 32 - Bit and 64-Bit.The complete list of corrections made by the 11.7 version may be accessed in English here.

AMD Komodo processor 10 hearts and goodbye AM3 + in 2012

AMD_vision_logo


Bulldozer, that represents the new AMD processors and which will be equipped with eight hearts while retaining the AM3 socket, scheduled for the end of the year current may well have a short life span. Indeed AMD provides new processors for 2012.


Zol.com.cn site unveils a graphic of an AMD Roadmap on which can be seen that in 2012 the next processor platform Komodo, who will succeed Bulldozer, will be based on a new socket the FM2.After the FM1, which is the socket for the APUs midrange AMD Lliano, the FM2 would a socket for the mid-range and high-end brand processors.


Komodo would a CPU, it does Group therefore not a graphics chip in addition to the CPU part. It will consist of ten Piledriver hearts which are improved Bulldozer cores. The AMD Turbo Core will be version 3.0 known improvements to the Turbo Core 2.0 version that will equip the Bulldozer processors. The DDR3 support will always be the party and the new socket for Komodo will therefore be the FM2.Bad news with came it a new socket, but good news still, because in fact this new socket FM2 will also support future processors code-named Trinity midrange. Trinity processors will be of APUs they therefore consolidate on same chip, CPU and graphics part for Llano that they will therefore come to replace.Trinity will be Quad Piledriver or the same hearts équiperont Komodo. It will also support the AMD Turbo Core in version 3.0. The embedded GPU will be compatible DirectX 11 and memory type DDR3.


Finally, on the bottom of range, the roadmap informs us that the Brazos platform will be replaced by the Deccan platform. It has the particularity to include not just the part GPU and CPU on the same chip but also the functions of the South Bridge then appointed FCH. Architecture to appoint Wichita, it will be composed of Bobcat, the same hearts on the Brazos platform. Their numbers will pass two cores to four. The GPU portion will be always compatible DirectX 11, as the memory controller which will always be DDR3.

OCZ announces a range of SSD with Indilinx Everest controller.After of excellent DSS based on Indilinx Barefoot, a time not so long ago, but yet well gone. Performance has greatly progressed so Everest will replace Barefoot Indilinx or rather OCZ, the latter being owner of Indilinx recently.The Indilinx Everest controller is compatible with a wide choice of components while enabling a rich range of SSD.Thus, Everest is compatible with memory Flash (single-Level, 1 Bit per cell) SLC, MLC (Multi-Level, 2 Bits per cell) and TLC (Triple-Level, 3 Bits per cell).Everest also supports memory ONFI 2.0 and Toggle Flash 1.0 on eight channels with a flow rate up to 200 MT/s (mega-transfer per second), there where other controllers reach 166 MT/s from OCZ.


Advanced by OCZ sequential performance would be 500 MB/s. Everest is also optimized for writing small files with a size of 8 KB, thereby increasing performance for compressed files with a size of 4 KB to 16 KB.System startup time would also be 50% faster than the competition with new algorithms always from OCZ.


For successfully to all this, the Everest controller based on ARM processor dual core supported by of the DDR3 running at 400 Mhz with a capacity up to 512 MB. The maximum supported capacity is 1 To. It will also support the SATA 3.0 (6 GB/s) interface and will be therefore retro-compatible SATA 2 (3 GB/s) and SATA (1.5 GB/s) 1It remains only to wait and see what will actually be worth Everest competition that renews itself fairly quickly.Know also that Everest is already proposed for OEMs to be validated.The complete list Indilix Everest features:

EK announces two new antifreeze for GeForce

 


 



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Generally the antifreeze whole for graphics cards are limited to models that meet the original design proposed by Nvidia or ATI. EK, brand well known in the area of the water cooling, offers a bit of change with the arrival of two antifreeze for models that do not meet the original design proposed by Nvidia.


The first waterblock is GTX 570 and more precisely the model GTX570 the trademark EVGA HD. Reminder, EVGA GTX 570 HD to the particularity of having a Display Port output and to be less long than a classic GTX 570.


The second waterblock is compatible with the GTX 570 and GTX 580 Direct CU II from Asus. Finished the cooling air with three slots in the Direct CU II series. With this dedicated waterblock temperatures will chutées and congestion will be reduced. The owners of these cards will have then more excuses to go grab a Mhz.


These two antifreeze are planned for mid-August at a rate not communicated.
