Sapphire unveils a Radeon HD 7770 fanless

The Sapphire constructor never, stops between its declensions Vapor-X and its passive cards...

The Computex reserve many surprises. Today, it is a passive Radeon HD 7770 that we present the Japanese firm.This is not a test for the company run as Sapphire had already launched the HD 7750 Ultimate displaying 0 dB at the beginning of the year. We turn on the superior GPU with aluminum cooling system. The map retains the specifications of AMD references: GPU Cape Verde in 28nm at 1 GHz coupled with 1 GB of GDDR5, a priori at 1125 MHz. emphasise that the GPU in the HD 7770, which displays more than correct performance, exceed not the 80W fully loaded. Such heat loss remains a sacred challenge to manage, what makes the Sapphire Ultimate the most powerful passive map of the market.

     

Not simple to cool this creature, with several heat sink makes as long as a 7900 series Radeon card. Large aluminum block exceeds several centimeters PCB, will have to have a suitable and well ventilated housing. The games in mini-ITX format, compact and silent machines are not yet for tomorrow. Sapphire all the same that the heatpipe is subject to changes, this prototype is for the moment that beautify the technology showcase of the constructor.

The price to pay for the absolute silence will be two PCI slots. Side pockets and availability, information should fall in coming weeks.

Apple unveils the price of 1 enclosure Thunderbolt by accident

We found exclusive leak on the British version of the Apple online sale site asserting that Pegasus R4 Promise RAID storage unit will be sold at £ 949, approximately 1 €100 applying the exchange rate. The price seems to include four hard drives for 2TB spinning at 7,200 rpm. The page has been removed from the site of Apple, but remains available in the Google cache. Today, there are such a hard disk for €130 on average, making the price of housing to more than €600, promised taking advantage of discounts on magnetic media that it delivers to its customers. In short, it remains expensive. In comparison, is found, the RAID eSATA enclosures four bays for less than €200. The price approximates therefore professional solutions high-end.

If it is difficult to predict the price in euro, Apple is never exactly following the exchange rate, we bet on a sale price of 1 €100 in Europe, mainly because Apple Store Philippines has also been victim of an identical flight and he proposed the Pegasus R4 to 68,000 ?, or £ 970 1 €100 taking into account the current exchange rate. The price of 1 €100 seems to be on the two sites.

The Pegasus R4 of Promise was presented at the presentation of the Thunderbolt by Apple last February. Promise was one of the first to have announced support this format (see "Thunderbolt: hard disks to the Nikon reflex") and it has recently shown a functional model for the last Taiwanese salon (cf. "Thunderbolt shows at the Computex"). The performance of the R4 are still unknown. The version presented on the site of Apple is that integrating hard drives. The price of the model comes with an Intel SSD was not available on the site. It will also highlight Thunderbolt devices output seems to be falling behind. They were originally announced for the second quarter of this year, but they should not go out before July.

The leak thus confirms fears concerning the price of the Thunderbolt devices. Rumors say that controllers would be very expensive and the price of 1 €100 will limit the device to professionals who really need support offering 600 MB/s to 700 MB/s to work on videos. At that price, those who do not need flows very important will prefer a NAS that provides much more functionality, such as the possibility of creating a web server or FTP and sharing more advanced on a local network.
