I saw this @ 3dchipset. Darkcrow has some preliminary results and pictures of ATi's new workstation graphics card FireGL M1.
Check out the pics, specs and more info HERE.

ASE Labs shows you a new peltier power supply in their preview of what is to come. Check it out!

Sparkle have launched a new GeForce4 Ti4600! what so special about this card? I hear you cry. Well first there's the cooling system and second apart from the usual outputs: analogy, digital DVI and TV out. It has a SCART adapter.

Theinquirer.net reports THE MOST RECENT roadmap we saw from the Intel Corporation warns motherboard makers that with the introduction of 3.06GHz the designers are creating a somewhat new die layout for the Northwood process.The roadmaps only show Intel able to reach something like 3.20GHz on Pentium 4s, and AMD might well have an additional lease of life in the constantly changing Megahurts Madness both firms play.

Just got word from Crow @Darkcrow.co.kr that he's snagged some new screenshots of ATi, High-End Graphic Card! ATI FireGL...... R300 VPU....... Using.... BGA Type Infineon DDR SGRAM -3.3ns 128MB.

According to Watch.Impress Gainward have launched a ATi Radeon 9700 Pro but a quick check on their website and there's no sign of a press release but here's a screenshot of the card.

Just saw this @ReactorCritical.com!

ATI's executives do not think that the RADEON 9700 sales are going to be affected by the absence of DirectX 9. Most of games available on the market these days utilise DirectX 7 and some of them certain DirectX 8.1 functions. There are almost no games to support pixel and vertex shaders currently, as a result, most of enthusiasts, who have purchased the most advanced graphics board of today play comparatively old games with maximum quality of rendering. Tuning anisotropic filtration and enabling FSAA is basically the only advantage the RADEON 9700 can provide these days. It is bad? No!

Iexbeta.com reports that while "Freestyle" represents Microsoft's latest attempts to fuse creativity with computing?Microsoft executives called this "life immersion"at its WinHEC conference in March?the PC also represents a chance for HP to bundle in some higher-margin components. Prices will range from between $1,500 to $2,000, the upper echelons of PC pricing.

Pimpedoutcases.net have a strange but useful "how-to" cool down your overclocked graphics adapter or just cool down a hot PCI component.

Just got word from Nvchips-fr about two new products from Zalman!

The Zm80-HP is intended for the most powerful GPUs such as the GeForce4 Ti, while the Zm50-HP is adapted for graphic processors such as the GeForce2 or GeForce4 MX or Radeon 7500 that dissipate less heat.

The Slix barebone will include a stylish aluminium case, a mainboard and a power-supply unit with the special liquid cooling system. The unique design on this PC allows to use only one cooling fan for the whole system, as a result, Creative Slix should be rather quiet. The company emphasise that its novelty provides such new technologies as USB2.0, IEEE1394 FireWire, onboard LAN, 6-channel audio, integrated 3D-accelerator, etc.

David Kirk, NVIDIA's chief scientist describe NV30 as a full floating point processor with thousands of instructions and a high level language. For the past years, NVIDIA main focus is on improving the GPU speed rather than designing a complicated pipe but for NV30, things will change. CineFX architecture work in conjunction with Cg programming language will make NV30 a fully programmable GPU with flexible instructions for vertex and pixel processing. It is expected that Microsoft will probably start supporting CineFX architecture with DirectX 9.1 therefore NV30 may be based on DirectX 9.1 when launched.

Just got word that ReactorCritical.com have posted what they believe are the official clock-speeds for ATi's New Radeon 9000/9700 and Radeon Pro cards for OEM and Retail products.

A FEW DAYS back we reported at The Inquirer that AMD was almost ready to release the last three manuals in its magnum opus on the Hammer microprocessors.

Now it has not only completed the set of manuals, but has released them on its site in the form of Adobe PDF documents.

Just been informed by Crow that after a late night drinking session and after Abit of James Bond 007 action he managed to sneak out of ABIT HQ with the benchmarks results and more screenshots of ABIT's Siluro OTES! OTES stands for Outside Thermal Exhaust System.

Just saw this @Nvnews.net

First off, this information has not been confirmed by NVIDIA. However, based on past product cycles, and the fact that NV30 will be manufcatured at a .13 micron process, the following specs appear within reason assuming the NV28 even exists.

Over 70 Million Transistors
0.13 micron
Higher clock rate than NV25 (GeForce4)

On this Taiwanese site it is claimed that AMD will bump the speed of current Athlon XP up to the model 2900+ and also introduce several lower-clocked CPUs with 333MHz bus. The product line will be as follows:

Just got word that Hardocp.com have snagged an Exclusive picture of a AMD 2700+ CPU with 333MHz FSB! Here's a snip.

Just in case there are still a few of you out there questioning the validity of the rumors and stories surrounding the next AthlonXPs being born of a 333MHz FSB, this authentic picture of a 2700+ should put the rumors to rest.

Pcpop have posted their CeBIT Asia 2002 coverage and they have snagged some screenshots of AMD's upcoming CPU Clawhammer.

Just got word from Crow @Darkcrow.co.kr that he's posted two Radeon 9700 Pro Previews! one for PowerColor Radeon 9700 Pro and the other is for BigBeam's Radeon 9700 Pro.
