Radeon X1900 XTX To Score Over 11K?
We came to know that Radeon X1900 XTX (R580) will officially be clocked at 650MHz core and 1550Mhz for the memory while the X1900 XT will be officially clocked at 625MHz / 1450MHz. The reason for the lower memory clocks for X1900 XT is unclear yet since the X1800XT is already clocked at 1.5GHz. It is also confirmed that R580 has 16 pipelines and 48 shader processors.

ATI?s R580 Versus Nvidia?s G71
ATI thinks that the number of pixel operations per clock is more important than the pixel number itself. Nvidia disagrees. It believes in a totally different ratio. With the birth of the R580, ATI sends the message that you should have three to one ratio as R580 has 48 Shaders and 16 pixel pipelines.

SUN?s UltraSparc T1 - the Next Generation Server CPUs
SUN's Ultrasparc T1, formerly known as Niagara, is much more than just a new UltraSparc. It is the harbinger of a new generation of CPUs, which focus almost solely on Thread Level Parallelism. No less than 32 independent parts of a different program (threads) can be "in flight" on the chip.

Deeper with the GeForce 7 series
This article is actually meant more as an addendum to the first part (which you can read here), where we talk mostly about transparency antialiasing performance from NVIDIA's GeForce 7 series cards. For the most part, transparency antialiasing is only really usable on old games (that does use lots of transparent textures). Newer games tend to be too much of a burden, even for the fastest GeForce 7800GTX, especially if we were to use 4x AA.
The Robosapien v2 Is Here
WowWee's second attempt at the Robosapien is a pricey one, at $250. Still, the Robosapien V2 is nearly double the size of its predecessor and is capable of head turns, arm and shoulder bends, grasping with large robotic fingers, and bending at the waist. By entering program mode via the remote, you can program him to move in any position you like. He can also hear, see, feel, and interact. But, if there's one thing that he doesn?t excel at, it's bowling!

ASUS Extreme N7800GT Dual Graphics Card Review
NVIDIA?s SLI is "passé", as we are now moving towards quad-GPUs with the future looking dramatically exciting. What ASUS and others have been trying to do is integrate two GPUs on a single card, and thus far, ASUS seems to be the king of the hill with this concept.
