    nvidia secret event, does nvidia release a new GPU every three months?

    Nah, I think it'll be a 16nm shrink of the GM200 for some sort of super-Titan card. Well, I can dream can't I?? ;)

    China Getting Remote Control Cars

    Great, an invention that allows Chinese motorists to run themselves over while trying to park their cars... genius!

    Steve Wozniak Is Now an iOS Gaming Character

    I think I'm going to be contacting my lawyers for this blatant unlicensed use of my name. :D

    Anonymous Wades into the Gaza Conflict

    Gee, I sure hope those Anonymous guys visit Gaza City sometime and get their props from the happy-go-lucky Islamic fundamentalists they want to be super best friends with.

    Haswell article online @ RWT

    Why not? Why can't you drop the CPU multiplier to whatever you want and have a correspondingly lower TDP? And as defaultluser already mentioned, Intel have configurable TDP (cTDP) now so just dial in whatever you want... Anand: Ivy Bridge Configurable TDP Detailed

    CPU Voltage

    If you're running stock speeds then just leave the CPU vcore setting to 'auto'. The auto setting will use the CPU's VID (voltage identification) signal to set the correct vcore for that particular chip.

    Haswell article online @ RWT

    Yeah, I guess he meant to say Ivy Bridge. Even though IVB was a 'tick' (process change rather than architecture) processor it had architectural improvements as well so 10% faster than SNB sounds no better than IVB.

    What Intel proc is on par with this?

    I haven't got a clue what sort of performance AMD is offering compared to Intel these days but this might help... http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/2 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/363?vs=147

    Haswell article online @ RWT

    Thanks for the heads-up pxc, I always enjoy David Kanter's articles. As someone who digs energy-efficient designs, I was already looking forward to Haswell. Now I'm looking forward to the performance gains too. I'll be sure to shop around for a new laptop with Haswell when they ship.

    Xeon E1230v2 vs Core i5/7 series

    I'm running an Intel Xeon E3 processor on my MSI Z77 board and am very pleased with it. I'm also not bothered by overclocking these days so the Xeon E3 was a good choice for me. This rig has great performance, is silent and idle power consumption is about 44W.:)

    Kyle smells i7 in the air...

    Meh, my QX9650 should see me through to the next Tick (Westmere, 32nm). :)

    [rumor] HKEPC: Radeon X1900 will be released in Q1 of next year

    That's the beauty of being so vague and using highly ambiguous terms like 'pipeline' and shader 'somethings', you can make what you say match any truth. You're now saying that a pixel pipeline is the same thing as a shader unit (aka. pixel processor, fragment shader, shader pipeline)? That's...

    [rumor] HKEPC: Radeon X1900 will be released in Q1 of next year

    The general consensus seems to be that R580 will have 3 shader pipes per pixel pipeline. So, that's 16 pixel pipes (like R520) and 48 shader pipes (3x R520). In shader-intensive games it should be quite a bit quicker than R520....... duh. :p

    r580 slated for early 2006 launch

    There's an update on that from Digitimes here. That sounds like a January paper-launch and availability in March. :(
