ASUS: three cards mothers Z68 with the PCIe 3.0

Three new motherboards Z68 came to be formalized by Asus: the P8Z68 Deluxe/GEN3, P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 and P8Z68-V/GEN3. Expected for the month of October, these three models compatible with future Ivy Bridge of Intel processors already support the PCI Express 3.0 with the presence of an Asmedia ASM1480 IC chip.

These three mainboards have therefore a floor of DIGI + VRM power 16-phase, two ports PCI-Express 3.0/2.0 16 x (configured in 8 x / 8 x CrossFireX or SLI), a third port PCI-Express 2.0 16 x (cable 4 x), four port USB 3.0, 12 USB 2.0 ports and a controller Bluetooth 2.1.  The number of connectors SATA 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps SATA and eSATA however varies with the model. The Deluxe model has two Gigabit Ethernet connectors but lacks video output, while versions Pro and V have a Ethernet Gigabit controller but have output VGA, DVI and HDMI.

Side tariff, the P8Z68 Deluxe/GEN3, P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 and P8Z68-V/GEN3 are displayed respectively 229 EUR, 185 euros and 159 euros (recommended public price).

Oracle sort son CPU Sparc T4

Oracle has officially launched its new generation of processors, the Sparc T4, and a range of servers carrying them. The T4 was a technology in the Sparc line break as it is the first able to execute some instructions in disorder (out-of-order execution).

Sparc T4 also marks a return back on the number of hearts: it has only 8, when the T3 Sparc had 16. Oracle has changed his gun to shoulder for this architecture, emphasizing the effectiveness by thread, rather than the parallelism at all costs. Throughput is substantially comparable, the T4 that can count on a clock speed most high (2.85 GHz or 3 GHz against 1.65 GHz). The manageable number of thread by a CPU is still divided by two (instead of 128 64 threads).

The T4 Sparc, more complex, is a larger and more gourmet chip. With the 40 nm, the die is 403 mm2 (against 371 mm2 for T3) and it consumes up to 240 W (139 W for a T3 16 hearts).

AMD: Southern Islands family expands

The arrival of the Catalyst 11.10 Preview drivers is the opportunity to discover a few new models of graphics cards that AMD would have in its cartons. Several new " Southern Islands " chips are indeed mentioned in these freshly drivers published.

It was already aware of Tahiti, Thames, Lombok, and New Zealand (and their adaptations XT/GL, Pro, the or AIO), as well as Cape Verde and PitCairn. Today, we discover the existence of Wimbledon and Heathrow Chelsea, two GPU - priori destined for the mobile market - yet unknown characteristics. Several new graphics based on these chipsets are planned, in particular, XT and WimbledonPro/LP versions. Heathrow Chelsea will be in turn declined in Heathrow XT and Pro, Chelsea XT and Pro, and Great Wall.

Three versions of Cape Verde should finally see the day (XTX, XT and Pro), while PitCairn should be offered in versions XT and Pro. Brief: "wait and see"...

IBM, TSMC, Global Foundries, Intel and Samsung allies in research

In an unexpected move, the main casters of semiconductors of the world decided to ally in a joint R & D project. It represents an investment of $ 4.4 billion, of which 3.6 billion made only by IBM.

All of the research will be conducted in facilities located in the State of New York, to the United States, where IBM, Intel and Global Foundries already own factories. Total 2500 high-tech jobs (1900 positions for the construction of buildings) will be created. The investment will be used two different projects. The first, involving IBM, Samsung and Global Foundries, aims to develop the next two generations of chips, 14 nm and 22 nm. Recall that Intel has a step ahead of them and already produced chips in 22 nm "3D".

The second project, bringing together five casters, will study the update of engraving plants for use with wafers of 45 cm in diameter. The majority of the industry today uses wafers of 30 cm in diameter. The transition to 45 cm would double the amount of chips per wafer.

Two Hyper ventirads CPU in Cooler Master

Two new models of ventirads CPU come to appear in Cooler Master : the Hyper 212 EVO and Hyper TX3 EVO. Compatible with all - or nearly - processor on the market (Intel LGA 775/1155/1156/1366 and AMD AM2/AM2 + / AM3/AM3 + / FM1), are these two systems of cooling tower.

The Hyper 212 EVO therefore displays dimensions 120 x 80 x 159 mm, a weight of 569 grams on the balance. It is composed of a radiator in aluminium crossed by four heat pipes in copper, in direct contact (Continuous Direct Contact) with the processor. The 120 mm fan work on its side at a speed between 600 and 2000 rounds per minute, for noise ranging from 9 to 36 dB (A).

Meanwhile, the Hyper TX3 EVO is a bit more compact, with dimensions of 90 x 79 x 136 mm and a weight of 379 grams. He also composed of a radiator in aluminium, but has only three heat pipes in copper, also in contact with the CPU. The 92 mm fan works for him at a velocity between 800 and 2800 rounds per minute (17 to 35 dB (A)).

The Hyper 212 EVO is already available in 34,90 EUR preorder. The Hyper TX3 EVO should be introduced to the month of October, at a rate of 23.50 euros.

The AMD FX-8150 between a Core i7 - 980 X and a 2600K

Documents AMD comparing its future processor FX-8150 competitors of Intel have surfaced on the Web. According to the manufacturer, his chip would be between a Core i5 2500K and a Core i7 2600K in multithreaded applications. In the games, the chip would have about the same level as the Core i7 980 X. The latest information say that the AMD processor would be cheaper than expected since it is now expected to $ 245, against $250 before.

Leaks come from the website DonanimHaber that has since withdrawn the benchmarks made by AMD, but maintains the page announcing the new prices. The AMD FX-8150 should be available at the launch of the Zambeziarchitecture, October 12. He will be accompanied by the FX-8120 will be sold at $ 205 and the FX-6100 , which will be proposed at $ 175.

In comparison, the Intel Core i5 2500 K cost €180, against €260 for the Core i7 2600K. According to AMD, FX-8150 would not resume the performance Crown, but he would have an excellent quality-price ratio. Intel should lower the price of its chips in response to the release of the Bulldozer.

According to the documents of DonanimHaber, FX-8150 will be running at 3.6 GHz and will rise to 4.2 GHz in Turbo mode. It will consume 125 W and will have 8 cores and 8 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache. The difference with the FX-8120 is at the level of frequencies only, since it works in 3.1 GHz and can climb up to 4 GHz. FX-6100 will have six cores, will run between 3.3 GHz and 3.9 GHz and will ask 95 W. All processors have an editable multiplier and use a Socket AM3 +.

Trinity soon and the APU of AMD Kaveri in 2013

A roadmap of Mobile AMD processors has just been published on the Web and if the information it contains were, the manufacturer will come out the alternate of the Llano (the Trinity) in the first quarter of 2012. The Comal platform which will carry the Trinity should co-exist for a while with Sabine systems which are equipped with processors Llano and chipsets A70M or A60M. Comal will use the same chipsets as Sabine. The roadmap also shows that AMD plans to get out of new mobile processors in 2013. Answer on behalf of Kaveri to conventional laptops, Kabini for the Ultrabooks and Samara for systems very low consumption, such as shelves or it shipped.

For the record, the Trinity shall belong to the family of processors AMD A8, A6 and A4. They have the great feature to use a Piledriver architecture which is a derivative of the Bulldozer that happen next month in the version for desktop (cf. "AMD FX Zambezi: under $ 250, launch on 12/10"). The Llano today K10.5 architecture begins to date. AMD has already presented the Trinity to the public (cf. "AMD demonstrates its Trinity"Bulldozer inside"APU") and some code names suggest that it is rather confident (cf. "AMD: APU Trinity, a"Devastator"?").

The idea of an output of the Trinity for 2012 is not new or surprising (cf. "The roadmap of the APU AMD Trinity for 2012"), but the fact that they are ready for a marketing early next year is a little more surprising while the Llano came out last June (see "APU AMD A8-3500: the Llano folder"). According to documents posted in the forum of 3D Center, AMD would have produced the first copies of test of the Trinity in last August and copies ready for mass production should be finalized between December 2011 and January 2012 for a launch of the chains of production in the first months of next year.

The roadmap is not new technical features. We know just these integrate a APU core graph London and that they will use the same Socket FS1 as the Llano. The roadmap also speak of the arrival of Wichita and KrishnaAPU, without providing further details to what we already know (cf. "AMD: a few details on the APU Wichita and Krishna"), i.e. the use of Bobcat cores and a DirectX 11 London GPU. The roadmap offers however more information on the Yuba controller that will support 2 port SATA 6 GB/s, 2 USB 3.0 ports and 10 USB 2.0 ports, as well as 4-Port PCI-Express. It will have a controller for memory SDHC card and a system of management of the speed of the processor fan.

We also learn a little bit more on Hondo, the CPU very low consumption which will only require 4.5 W and which will integrate two cores Bobcat. We know that it will have the same GPU DirectX 11 Ontario, Zacate or Desna ( Loveland). It will use also of the same controller memory DDR3/DDR3-L 1066 and will be based on the same Socket FT1. Therefore, it is likely that it is above all a die shrink.

Finally, the roadmap opens the door to mobile platforms from 2013. Comal will be replaced by Indus, a Kaveriprocessor based system. Is known yet very little on these chips use a processor code-named Steamrollerarchitecture. They will be based on a Socket FS2. The platform will also carry a Boltonchipset.

The Kabini processors and the chipset Yangtze shall belong to the Keralaplatform. The APU will use a core Jaguar. They will replace the Decan and will target the Ultrabooks. Finally, the APU Samara low consumption will use the same architecture as the Kabini, but they will be coupled to Salton chipsets and belong to a family of platform she also named Samara. No information was filtered by the graphics processor that will be integrated into these chips.

AMD replaces its Komodo CPU by of Vishera

New leaks of roadmaps AMD place the output of the APU Trinity in the second quarter of next year and confirm rumours that spoke of the abandonment of processors Komodo of society (cf. "AMD would remove the Komodo planned for 2012"). They also speak of the output of two Llano released at the end of the year.

At the beginning of day, we reported the roadmap disclosed by the forum of 3D Center (cf. "Trinity soon and the APU of AMD Kaveri in 2013"). On these documents, AMD stated that the Trinity mass production would start in January 2012. We then thought to marketing for the first quarter of next year. Nevertheless, of new published roadmaps this time the site of DonanimHaber (page since removed) say that AMD is planning their marketing in the second quarter of next year. A reminder, these processors one after the other to the Llano and each Piledriver cores which are updates of Bulldozer.

The roadmap is also interesting because it shows that the account Green Giant out a new family of processors for desktop computer in the third quarter of 2012. Code-named Vishera, it represents a small evolution of the Zambezi, which is expected on October 12. Meanwhile, AMD will release processors FX-8170, 8150 and 8120. Initially, AMD had planned to release a version more muscular code-named Komodo, but technical problems have obliged him to lower his Piledriver core characteristics. It should therefore focus on the Vishera.

DonanimHaber also revealed that AMD will out of new Llano on the fourth of this year, including two models released multiplier factor. It's the A8-3870K (3 GHz, Radeon HD 6550D, 100 W) and the A6-3670K (2.7 GHz, Radeon HD 6530D, 100 W). Enthusiasts on a small budget can therefore play. We note in passing that AMD is the nomenclature of Intel and now uses the letter K to denote this type of chip.

Other models planned for the end of the year are the A8-3820 (2.8 GHz/2.5 GHz, Radeon HD 6550D, 65 W), A6-3620 (2.5 GHz / 2.2 GHz, Radeon HD 6530D, 65 W), the A4-3420 (2.8 GHz, Radeon HD 6410D, 65 W) and E2-3200 (2.4 GHz, Radeon HD 6370D, 65 W). Apart for the last two models that are of dual core, they take all four cores.

According to the roadmap, the A8-3800Llano, A6-3600 and the A4-3400 come end of life to the second quarter of 2012.
