Nvidia and ATi Readying DX11 Ready Cards

According to Digitimes, the two major GPU makes are already readying the next generation cards that’ll be capable of DirectX 11. The said cards will be available by the end of the year.

Nvidia’s GT300 series cards will be done by end of this month and will be ready for shipping by December of this year.

With the ATi’s 5800 series will also be done by around the same time Nvidia’s GT300 series, but they’ll start shipping 2 months earlier which is around October. A little too fast. As usual trying to catch up to beat the competition.

This’ll pretty much mean that price drops are coming. Upgrades are coming. Time to save up. LOL. I ain’t upgrading my GTX295 anytime soon. I’m still saving up for an i7.

Computer Technology Updates

6 Core “Thuban” by AMD

AMD is planning to create a desktop implementation of its Opteron “Istanbul” monolithic six-core processor. Codenamed “Thuban” (named after a star in the Draco constellation, which means Dragon), the new processor will be based on the socket AM3 package for compatibility with existing and future desktop core logic. It features six cores, 9 MB of total cache (6 x 512 KB L2 + 6 MB L3). Thuban is aimed to make for AMD’s high-end desktop processor, as the company prepares to face competition from a near-complete lineup of processors based on the Nehalem/Westmere architectures from Intel. It is expected to be the posterboy for AMD’s “Leo” high-end consumer desktop platform that succeeds its current Dragon platform.

Some of the key components that make up AMD Leo platform are the upcoming AMD 890FX and 890GX chipset, companion SB800 series southbridge chips, and members of AMD’s Evergreen family of DirectX 11 compliant graphics processors. On the software front, AMD will give its Fusion and Overdrive utilities some big updates. The SB800 series southbridge chips will feature native support for SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0; connectivity is further enhanced by integrated Broadcom MAC Ethernet interfaces. While the Leo platform is expected to launch almost simultaneously with the 8-series chipsets, the six-core Thuban processor on the other hand comes later. It is due only in Q3 2010. Thuban will have come out an year after its enterprise implementation in the form of Opteron “Istanbul”.

EVGA Unveils X58 Classified 4-Way SLI Mobo and GTX285

Paired with the day’s launch of the GeForce GTX 285 Classified, EVGA rolled out its newest motherboard monstrosity, the EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI (170-BL-E762-A1). This is one of the first motherboards based on the XL-ATX form-factor, with the board measuring 13.58 x 10.375 inches (L x W), which makes it as wide as an E-ATX motherboard, only longer. For use inside a chassis, the company recommends one with at least 10 expansion slots. It is based on the Intel X58 + ICH10R chipset supporting socket LGA-1366 processors, and might be making use of NVIDIA nForce 200 bridge chips to support its seven PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots, with adequate spacing to support four of its newest GTX 285 Classified graphics cards

Nokia enters Netbook Market

Nokia Booklet (Nokia)

The Booklet has 3G, Bluetooth, and wi-fi connectivity

The world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phones will join the PC market with its Booklet 3G netbook.

The Windows-based device is about 2cm thick and will offer 3G connectivity as well as wi-fi.

Analysts said the laptop was a “natural extension” of the company’s product range but the firm would face stiff competition.

Nokia will release price and availability information at an event in Stuttgart on 2 September.

The Booklet has an aluminium case, weighs 1.25 kilograms (2.75 lbs) and its 10-inch screen is HD-ready.

Nokia has released a number of small, “tablet”-style internet-enabled devices in the past to mixed reviews, but this is the first effort which is claimed to be a full-function PC.

“A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility,” said Kai Oistamo, Nokia’s executive vice president for devices.

“We are in the business of connecting people and the Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us.”
