AMD Sempron: A Fresh Take on Budget Computing

Published by Newsfactory 0

AnandTech have thrown up their review of AMD's Sempron Processor! Here's a snip.

If the familiar rectangular shape of the core looks a little too familiar, that's probably for very good reason. The K7 Sempron is actually a 166MHz FSB 256KB Thoroughbred-B core. Upon first learning this, we were a little worried that we would see overlapping parts where new Semprons would actually be old Athlon XPs. Fortunately, this is not the case.

Silverstone SST-LC02 Case Review

Published by Newsfactory 0

Silverstone entered the case market with only a few products last year. Since last year, Silverstone has increased their product line significantly and what's even more important to us, as consumers, is that Silverstone listens to what consumers want and work accordingly on their next product revisions. If you recall, we analyzed Silverstone's SST-LC01 case last year, which was impressive, but it lacked the physical impressiveness that one would want in a HTPC case.

Rage3D HIS Excalibur X800 Pro IceQII VIVO Review

Published by Newsfactory 0

Rage3D has published a review of the HIS Excalibur X800 Pro IceQII VIVO card. It comes equipped with the new Arctic ATI Silencer 4 to cool the R420 VPU and GDDR3 memory. If you're looking for an X800 Pro then this one should be on your list.

When the IceQII cards were first revealed a few months ago they caused quite a stir. Not only were these cards using ATI's latest graphics core, the R420, but they also featured a mysterious new cooling unit that looked somewhat similar to the Arctic VGA Silencer found on the IceQ cards. Suspicions were confirmed when Arctic Cooling announced a new line of VGA coolers sometime later. As it turns out, the cooler HIS is using for their IceQII cards is known as the Arctic ATI Silencer 4.

ABIT AG8

How does it overclock? Check out the review to find out!

Ed Piotrowski has just finished reviewing the BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC. Here is a snip;

Intel's 90nm Pentium M 755: Dothan Investigated

Published by Newsfactory 0

AnandTech have thrown up their review of Intel's new Mobile 90nm Pentium M 755 processor aka Dothan clocked @ 2.0GHz with 2MB L2 cache! Here's a snip.

We first heard about Dothan before Banias ever hit the streets as Pentium M. If you'll remember from our original article on the Pentium M, Banias only missed its target completion date by a matter of days. One by-product of on-time execution was that a number of architectural tweaks that the design team wanted to get into Banias had to be left out, a sacrifice made to preserve on-time execution. As soon as the Banias design was complete, those final architectural tweaks and enhancements that didn't make it into the first Pentium M incarnation were at the top of the list for its successor. As a result, Dothan is best viewed as a more polished evolution of Banias, with higher clocks and more cache made possible by Intel's 90nm process.

PNY Verto GeForce 6800GT 256MB Review @ 3DGPU

Published by Newsfactory 0

For the grand reopening of the new 3DGPU makeover, we have a new review of PNY Technologies? Verto GeForce 6800GT card. Utilizing the latest chip from NVIDIA, the 6800GT is an amazing card that can easily reach higher levels of performance due to its overclocking capabilities.

The GeForce 6800GT is a down-clocked GeForce 6800 Ultra, which is the top-of-the-line of the new GeForce 6800 series. Meaning that it has the same features and specifications as the Ultra, but is slightly slower in core and memory clock speeds. However, this won?t stop most gamers from overclocking their GT to Ultra speeds (more on that later.)
