The prices of NVIDIA cards are down

The Fermi range graphics cards are now a little more accessible, until Kepler...

Pending the arrival of the new GeForce Kepler, NVIDIA reviews its fee schedule of the current range. To make a little more competitive GeForce GTX 580 cards to AMD cards, the price is revised downwards and it is now available at €339 in boutique.

The GeForce GTX 580 1.5 GB map becomes less expensive than the Radeon HD 7950. What's position on price/performance. If the 3 GB version is now at the same price as the Radeon HD 7950, the GeForce GTX 570 is also entitled to its low and appears now to €249.

NVIDIA therefore moves its former range of graphics cards down to allow flexibility for the introduction of the new range Kepler should more likely delay. We are also eager to test the new GeForce coming unbeatable according to NVIDIA.

Need for a 10 Gb/s network? Intel has the solution

Intel presents its new controller X 540 for 10 Gb/s management and support of the fondeur Xeon processors.

Apart from the professional field, the 10 Gb/s interfaces are not widespread. But professional networks use more this type of interface to meet the growing demand for bandwidth with the collaborative work and storage of data on the servers.

The map Intel X 540 - T2 on PCI-Express 3.0 and the controller Intel X 540

To meet the demand, Intel announces the launch of its controller that supports 10 Gb/s called X 540. Of course, this chip is fully retro-compatible with previous standards, such as Gigabit Ethernet. But Intel offers more support for new features such as the Advanced I/O virtualization or the iSCSI and even Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). The skier is the integration of its maximum chip because it can take advantage of the Direct I/O mode that connects the card to the PCI-Express bus 3.0 to the cache of the processor directly, thus speeding up the treatment of packets are transferred without the need to make of mirroring in RAM.

This chip can be found a place on a PCI-Express 3.0 x 8 card for example or even on a motherboard for server. For the moment, he is did not mention of the price, but the precise skier that its offer will be competitive for the rapid adoption of this new standard of the data transport.

We remind that this technology allows to combine the performance of the SSD drives including their response time with the drives tray a little slower, but offering inaccessible storage spaces for flash drives. The map of the HighPoint in PCI-Express 2.0 x 8 thus add this feature normally reserved for equipped with Intel chipsets. Old configurations will appreciate the performance of this technology without too to ruin.

The card called RocketCache 3420 X 8 settled on a bus PCI-Express 2.0 x 8 free while being compatible with version 1.0 of the bus for the still older configurations. The controller to connect four drives SATA III 6 Gb/s of which it will be possible to choose the type of storage. Or, you install two hard drives with tops supported by two drives SSD for performance and security, or four for the high performance flash drives only.

HighPoint RocketCache 3420 X 8 is already available in the shops for a price around the €145. A good way to update an old configuration that does not have SATA III and the chip Intel compatible TRS.

Other motherboards of the manufacturer should still arrive, but this large batch already gives an idea of which prepares for the arrival of the new processors from Intel. One of the features that wished to highlight the manufacturer and that remind us strongly of NVIDIA's Optimus is Lucid VirtuMVP. It allows to connect a monitor directly on the motherboard, the chip automatically managing power demand, if treatment must pass by the GPU or the iGPU of the processor. In some cases, it can even combine the two for more power. For the moment, only references and specifications of motherboards are available, prices will arrive later. We will not miss to update our table in this case.

Web browsers arrive on Metro

Firefox and Chrome will arrive on the new interface Windows 8 Metro.

As we have seen in our preview, Metro of Windows 8 interface, only the House Internet Explorer browser is available. The installation of an alternative browser to add a shortcut on the Metro Desk, but is finally on the Desktop interface. Which may affect the user experience by switching to one graphical environment to another.

To avoid losing on this new version of Windows market share, must be that alternative browsers offer a consistent interface with this tile system and web navigation mode Metro style. The difficulty lies in the delivery of two different binary, just as at the time of the Mac PowerPC and x 86, because Microsoft will deliver its OS for processors x 86-based (until then no change) and under ARM, modify and compile the code for this literally different architecture. Although the Windows Market Place will simplify the task for users, because the version installed will always be good, the difficulty being here postponed on developers to provide both versions on the Market Place.

The first to have answered this is Firefox. The Mozilla Foundation which produces Firefox indicates work actively on its browser to provide a version with the colour of Metro in two possible declinations. Recently, Google also announced that its browser chromium will adopt its own tile. The web giant adds that the purpose is to propose a unified between the Desktop version and the Metro interface interface, a little to the image of Internet Explorer 10, but by adding better support of the touch that will be more used with this new version of Windows, according to Google.

We can ask what might look like this unified interface. The answer is in the application Chrome beta currently available on Google Play (fire Android Market). Navigation is also quite successful, while having the same graphic codes than its desktop version.

Red card: the Hadopi and MegaUpload

We have not stood up to distribute a red card this week, and it is the Hadopi making expenses. Not to have engaged the third repressive branch of the graduated response in recent weeks (whatever...), but for his analysis of the benefits to the legal supply of the closure of MegaUpload. Analysis which deals with just a few days and tries to say what it wants in the figures. Thus, according to the Hadopi, suite MegaUpload closed most of Internet users arrested immediately pirating content on the Web, to the drive for legal services of VOD and catch-up TV.

The problem is that the findings of the high authority are based on a study which relativizes well its nuances, the Hadopi not encumbered. The catch up TV would suddenly exploded following the closure of MegaUpload? No, in fact the hearing of these services grew 67% over one year. No analysis is made of the increase in the volume of data passing by P2P networks or spillage of fans of direct download on MegaUpload competing platforms. Result, attempting to have us believe that the closure of MegaUpload swept a setback to handle the bulk of the problem of piracy, but this is hardly the case.

And as we have concluded a paper dedicated to the SVOD, we finish here by reminding that the legal offer is not yet adapted to the expectations of consumers (price too high, limited catalogues, VO too often absent, time available, etc.) and that as long as this is not the case, it will unfortunately not the time of sounding the end of piracy.
