Display card that is more reliable, ATI or NVIDIA?






To be honest, we know beforehand that the topic would cause grave dispute among readers because of your many fans ATI or NVIDIA. Nevertheless, the figures are very stubborn, and if they are obtained by fair means, they can not lie, so it can be calm about objectivity.

So, Hardware France c we have decided to share statistical data obtained from named distributor of computer components in France. In this case, the so-called indicator RMA (Returned Material Authorization). In short, the lower the RMA, the higher the reliability of this or that product.

As shown in the following pictures, there is no single answer, so that one can hardly conclude that NVIDIA is better or ATI cooler. If a segment of single ATI card leader, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 GPU is considered the worst among the 2-processor cards. On the other hand, Radeon HD 4870 X2 can be described as the best among these maps, but it NVIDIA GeForce 9800 X2. Among the partners of NVIDIA and ATI Sapphire (ATI), Leadtek and PNY (NVIDIA) leaders in quality manufacturing, as well as the number of defective products is lower than the norm in the industry (3%).

In principle, the conclusion one can make himself, so it should not accuse us of biased coverage of events. It turns out that everything does not depend only on the model, but also on the brand.

While the Adamo is only released in two versions. In the basic version of this model is equipped with a processor Intel Core 2 Duo 1,2 GHz, the integrated Intel GMA X4500HD graphics and 2 GB of RAM. The second version is not difficult to guess and boasts a processor Intel Core 2 Duo 1,4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and note module wireless 3G. Nevertheless, they are not a discrete graph.

Perhaps the biggest drawback is the price Dell Adamo. Even the basic version will cost you 1999 dollars. Regarding the second, the so-called "advanced" version, it is even more expensive - 2699 U.S. dollars. However, the testers have the same impression, that everything that has even the slightest relevance to this model, it is mad expensive. It is also worth noting that Adamo uses external optical DVD drives and Blu-ray, and you can increase its memory up to 8 GB, but tazhe install hard drives 250 or 500 gigabytes, but for a fee. In general we can say that Dell Adamo perfect solution technically, but alas, this model was released in far not the best times for the world economy.

Intel and AMD, again on the brink of war






Intel and AMD, again on the brink of war, and most likely without the court that the conflict is unlikely to be resolved. But the fact is that in the distant 2001, the two companies reached an agreement on the use of certain technologies developed by Intel, x86 processors in production in factories AMD. But recently, the Green Team, as AMD is often called himself, has rid itself of its manufacturing capacity and handed them over to the new company - Globalfoundries.

This company was created with the Advanced Technology Investment (ATIC), to jointly produce chips. This solution AMD, we can say, Intel is not angry at the joke, as well as processor giant felt such a move a grave violation of the agreement on the licensing of certain technologies developed by Intel, from 2001. In an interview with a correspondent for Reuters, Sivell Bruce (Bruce Sewell), the chief lawyer of Intel, said that AMD does not have the right to transfer the right to use Intel developed technologies to third parties without the permission of the copyright, that is Intel. Now that AMD has 60 days to correct this "error", otherwise Intel would bring it to court. For its part, AMD said that it had not violated the terms of this agreement, and Intel has no right to simply cancel it. Apparently, AMD believes that it, too, is among the founders Globalfoundries, so the agreement is automatically extended, but with the Intel strongly disagreed.

According to analysts, Intel does not want to bring the case before the court and sought a court decision.

Sales in PS3 is not growing?






Apparently, the game developers are already tired of waiting, when will grow sales of PS3. According to TG Daily, Electronic Arts, through the head of the sports games, Peter Moore (Peter Moore) has called on Sony to lower the price of the PS3 as soon as possible. In an interview with Reuters journalists, Moore said: "It is impossible not to be reckoned with Nintendo, as the company controls nearly half the market of gaming prefixes.

On the other hand, Dil, Peter (Peter Dille), vice-president of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) for marketing, said that his company was very satisfied with the results of the sale of PS3 and is not planning any price cuts to the game console in the near future.

Remember that at the moment, PS3 is the most expensive among the so-called leading troika - PS3, Wii, Xbox, and its price is 399 dollars, that is it for 200 and 150 dollars more expensive than the Xbox and Wii, respectively. In October 2007, after Sony lowered the price of the PS3 from 500 to 400 U.S. dollars, almost doubled its sales for the month. According to Yves Gillemo (Yves Guillemot), Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft, one of the largest games developers in Europe, the developers of games really get much benefit from lower prices for game consoles.

Despite the fact that the hardware in terms of PS3, a platform that has huge potential, but so far Sony has not been able to realize its benefits, and lags behind its competitors in sales. According to preliminary estimates, by 2010, will be sold around 14 PS3. For comparison, at that time will be sold not less than 28 mil. prefixes Wii and 9.7 million. Xbox. According to analysts, Sony could easily reduce the price of PS3 in the U.S. 50-100 in the next two months, and such a decision would have no impact on its financial position. On the other hand, Japanese people can understand, because Sony is now struggling with the consequences of the crisis. According to recent data, the Japanese company has already reduced its staff by 16 thousand people, and continues to close factories.

The First Google Phone from Samsung is ready?






Engadget claims that the first Samsung smartphone Android platform is already ready, and moreover, was seen during the presentation of new products and the Netherlands. The event was organized by one of the Samsung dealers in the country, and this picture was obtained there. The quality of pictures, I should say, very low, but it seems that it is real, and not forgery.

According to preliminary data, the apparatus has a processor with a nominal clock frequency of 528 GHz, as well as the type of capacitive touch display, and expansion slot for memory cards microSD. It supports not only the four-band GSM, and UMTS 900 or 2100 (for USA and Europe, respectively).

Apparently, Samsung has already completed the first smartphone on the Android platform has been completed, and the South Korean company is ready or nearly ready to put on the market. Note that all of the above information is only preliminary.

Addition to the B & O BeoVision family






Danish company Bang & Olufsen officially announced a new LCD TV HD - BeoVision 8. This model has a screen size of 40 inch fully meets all the requirements as specified in the Full HD (1080p). Her brief technical characteristics are as follows: a standard resolution of 1920 × 1080, response time 6 ms, and its brightness and kontrasnost of 500 nits and 3000:1. Apparently, in this case, namely the static, not dynamic contrast, as B & O is very high value on our reputation and does not try to wishful thinking. Among other features, you can select the refresh rate of 100 Hz and full compatibility with the system of home automation BeoLink from B & O.

Note that the BeoVision 8 has a very decent built-acoustics, which consists of the side speakers and a subwoofer, which is located at the bottom of the shell and is directed downwards. According to the B & O, this arrangement of the speakers creates a so-called "orchestral pit, and significantly improves the sound quality. TV supports all versions of TV standards PAL, SECAM and NTSC, but also has a digital DVB-HD tuner.

While in a press release from the B & O, the model is described as a model for entry-level, most likely, BeoVision 8 will be more expensive than similar solutions from other manufacturers. The point is that the B & O positions itself as a manufacturer of audio and video hi-end, and she did little cheap. Recall that in the delivery BeoVision 8 does not include remote control Beo4.

Blackberry Gemini again hit the frame






Portal Boy Genius Report published a fresh snapshot of the new Blackberry smartphone from Research In Motion (RIM) - Gemini 8325. This is the so-called "spy" photo, so its quality, as we have seen, leaves much to be desired. Nonetheless, BGR says that the original shot, not forgery.

According to the plan of RIM, the model must come to replace the Blackberry Curve. It will not support 3G, but only the four-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE. Staff has keyboard QWERTY, 2-megapixel camera, and it supports display resolution of 320 × 240 pixels. It seems that the navigation key was derived from the Motorola RAZR, but if you honestly, it was not very much suited Blackberry. If contends BGR, the unit is running OS 5.0 and supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/draft-n.

On the cost and availability of the Blackberry family representative has not yet been reported.

Adamo will be different






As we know, Dell today officially presented its ultrathin laptops - Adamo. But if you believe Engadget, this is only the first model in the series, and apart from it, Dell plans to release yet another model - Adamo 9. As seen in the above photo, at the moment, the whole line consists of two models - Adamo Adamo 9 and 13. Apparently, the latest model will have a smaller, 9-inch display.

It should also be noted that this list is also another model in the series of Studio One - Studio One 22. It is not difficult to guess, this is a panel computer models like the Studio One 19, which was presented recently. The truth is, most likely this model will have a larger 22-inch display. It is possible that this type of touch screen Multitouch, as 19-inch version is just such a display.

Qualcomm and Freescale want to try to force Intel






Apparently, Qualcomm and Freescale really want to take away a large portion of Intel's cake in the form of market Netbook. As you know, in this market segment still dominated by processor Atom, and although the processor giant has financial and technological capabilities, Qualcomm and Freescale are determined to fight it. It should be recalled that at the moment, Intel is the first line in the Scheduled rank the world's semiconductor manufacturers, and Qualcomm on the 8 th place. But it seems that the unequal struggle had no trouble either Qualcomm, nor Freescale.

As expected, Qualcomm, and Freescale will demonstrate its first Netbook at Computex 2009 in June this year. So, this exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to get acquainted with two of the Netbook Pegatron and Wistron, which are based on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform and Freescale i.MX51. Regarding Snapdragon, this platform is already well known for example, the latest smartphone Toshiba TG01 (pictured), but so far little is known about the platform offered by Freescale. According to preliminary data, it consists of the i.MX51 processor and motherboard ARM Coretex A8.S other hand, NVIDIA is also actively promoting its platform Tegra. Indeed, this is One-solution (System-On-Chip). According to recent data, MSI is already actively engaged in the development of fully functional mobile systems based on the Tegra. By the way, and MSI, and ASUS has recently confirmed that they are exploring the possibility to establish serial production Netbook Snapdragon platform based on Qualcomm.

Thus, in the near future with Atom processors from Intel will be very serious competitors in the form of processors ARM. It may seem strange, but the Atom virtually no competition on the platform of x86, in spite of all efforts on the part of VIA. According to experts from the Information Network, share Netbook ARM-based processors could reach 55% mark by 2012. The point is that the cost of these chips is much cheaper than the Atom, a Netbook based on them will work under Linux, not Windows. On the other hand, other analysts believe that by that time, the proportion Netbook processor-based x86 could be as much 80%. Perhaps only time can tell who is right in this dispute, but in any case, this summer we will see the first Netbook processor-based ARM.

The futures of Athon






If anything extraordinary will happen in the near future, AMD returns to the market the first 4-processor based on the nuclear core Propus. Their official name - Athlon X4. All models in this series are categorized as budget processor, and in contrast to Deneb and Heka, they do not have the cache L3. Moreover, the size of their L2 cache is only 2 MB, or 512 KB per core.

As far as we know, the older model of this series is Athlon X4 615 2.7 GHz Athlon X4 605 2.5 GHz. These chips have a TDP 95 W, and as expected, they should see the light in April. Nevertheless, evil speaker claimed that AMD was allegedly transferring their production to III the most interesting: on the processors that are capable Propus? Thus, the results of preliminary tests conducted by PC Online, show that Propus not powerful Phenom X4 9750. In multi testing CineBench test platform based on the Athlon X4 2,8 GHz scored 8738 total points, which is much smaller than the platform-based Phenom X4 9750 (9500 points).

Perhaps, in this case it was exactly on the Athlon X4 615 2.7 GHz, but with a slightly raised the clock frequency, as tested processor runs at 2.8 GHz. It is also worth noting that the test platform is based on the 790FX motherboard and memory DDR2.

AMD is betting on the dispersal






As is known, the core Deneb has a very decent accelerating potential, although at the moment, AMD does not have anything to compare to Intel Core i7 performance. Nevertheless, the Green Team, as AMD calls themselves often do not lose heart and continues to "rivet" new models of Phenom II with fantastic accelerating potential.

So, according to forum participants XtremeSystems, in the Phenom II processors from AMD will soon be the new processor with vesma high accelerating potential. At this time we know for certain that the official name of the chip - Phenom II X4 995, and during testing it broke with 3.2 to 4 GHz.

It should be noted that at an operating voltage of 1.25 in the clock speed of the processor at 3.2 GHz, but if you raise this figure to 1.45 As can be easy to disperse up to 4 GHz, even in the air. " True, this will raise the clock speed HyperTransport system bus from 200 to 250 MHz. It is not clear when AMD will introduce users to the court, but at least we know that it exists and it is quite possible that her presentation will be held very soon.

Apparently, Phenom II X4 995 comes the replacement Phenom II X4 3,1 GHz. Out of this model has been scheduled for the II quarter, but was canceled for unknown reasons, even though AMD has been very happy with this chip. According to AMD, its productivity was higher than expected. But, more likely, instead it will come exactly Phenom II X4 995.

Intel prepared a budget board based on P55






What is the Intel P55, it seems everything has already knew. As is known, this set of system logic is designed to work with the latest processors, Lynnfield, and according to plan Intel. He will be represented somewhere in the III quarter of this year. With regard to Lynnfield, this is nothing more than a "truncated" version of Core i7 Bloomfield, but these processors will support only 2 - but not 3-channel memory DDR3. However, some sources even claim that Lynnfield not use the system bus QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), but has an informal information. In short, Lynnfield is processors for desktop systems, mid-range, which are positioned in the middle price range.

Nevertheless, as argued by Fudzilla, According to Fudzilla, Intel has already prepared a number of budget motherboards for Lynnfield. They are based on P55, and the model number of Intel, they are positioned close to the board DG41MJ for processors Core 2 Duo and Quad, that is, in a segment of Classic. It will be recalled that in this segment are those models that are just above the cards in a series of Essential. The latter are known, are designed to work with Atom processors, and Celeron. In short, they fall into the category of budget boards. At the time of the technical details about them yet, but as it turned out, we are talking about motherboards micro-ITX, and they support Socket H1 (LGA 1156). At the moment this is all that we know about them.

On the other hand, it would be a mistake to think that all charges based on Intel P55 refer to the budget category, as Intel plans to bring to market three boards based on this set of logic in the III quarter of this year. They will be much more expensive and are designed to work in desktop systems, which will be positioned in the upper segment of middle-price range.

Unique AV receivers from Onkyo






Family Onkyo AV receivers added three new models - SR607, SR507 and SR307, reports Electronista. If you believe a famous Japanese company, which is known as one of the leaders in the market of audio hi-end, this is the first in the world of AV receivers that are able to give sound of the third, vertical dimension.

It turns out that the above model supports Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Thus, with the help of home theater systems, based on their database, users can feel while watching a movie, as if the sounds coming from above. In addition, all of the above models support 7.2-channel audio, as well as technology and Dolby TrueHD DTS-HD Master Audio. It should be noted that the maximum power output is 90 W, and each model on the back panel has a port for connecting external devices such as docking stations for iPod and HD Radio tuners.

In terms of functionality models SR607 and SR507 are virtually identical. However, the latter does not have the function of Pro Logic IIz, and its power output is 80 rather than 90 Watts. With regard to model SR 307, this is the lowest model in the series, and it corresponds to only the standard version of the specification and Dolby DTS. Nevertheless, SR307 boasts three HDMI ports and an output of 65 Watts.

Among other design features of these models can provide technology support for xvColor, Audyssey 2EQ and game modes, from 4 pre settings, so they can provide not only a broader color coverage, but also a rich sound with a very high quality.

According to plan, model SR307 and 507 should be on sale as early as this month, but the supply of the highest model in the series, SR607, scheduled for April. Its recommended price - 599 U.S. dollars.

"Smart" photo Toshiba






According to Pocket-Lint, Toshiba has just announced the release of a new series of digital photo, Journe Air, in Europe. It has two models - Journe Air 1000 and Journe Air 801, and they are remarkable for the fact that they have very rich functionality.

By the way, it "can" take the radio to the Internet via 50 pre-configured channels. The set even includes a remote control. Moreover, Journe Air can still work as audio player, a clock and alarm. There is a calendar function.

Unlike the first model Journe Air 801 has a smaller 8.4-inch display, and the amount of internal memory is only 128 MB. Thus, the user probably will have to use a memory card to store photos and other materials. This model also has built in speakers, alarm clock, a clock, a calendar, but above all, can still boast low-touch control buttons, as well as the functions of Sub-View and 3D Album. It explains the Toshiba, the first function allows Journe Air 801 "communicate" with the PC through the expansion of the user interface of the computer through the photo, but by the second, you can create a slideshow with music and animation from existing images.

Estimated cost Journe Air 1000 and 801 in the order of 170 and 140 pounds. It is not clear when they will be on sale, but apparently it will happen very soon.

Dell introduced a mobile computer, just in case life






Series of secure mobile computers from Dell added a new model - Latitude E6400 XFR, says Engadget. She was officially presented yesterday, and the idea should come to replace the well-known models of Latitude XFR D630, which was issued as early as last year.

First, note that Latitude E6400XFR done in strict accordance with accepted in the armed forces of the U.S. standard MIL-STD 810F for protection from heat, dust and vibration, and has a very strong and leak-proof shell PR481 from magnesium alloy.

Intel responded NVIDIA






Manage a system, based on the Atom processor and a set of logic Intel GN40 with the task of playing HD video in the resolution of 1080p? The question, of course, idle, because few who want to watch video in such a permit Netbook. But on the other hand, it is quite interesting, if only because, in addition Netbook, there Nettop, and such a possibility would not be superfluous. Incidentally, this issue was not raised by any other, namely NVIDIA. As you know, it has recently released a platform Ion, which, she said, could cope with the video HD 1080p. With regard to the recruitment of logic GN40, then according to NVIDIA, it loses the Ion is in this sense, because HD 1080p video it is simply not on the teeth.

Finally, Intel has given a clear answer about video in HD resolution of 1080p on systems that are built on the basis of a set of logic GN40, says Fudzilla. Briefly, the answer is as follows: 1080p - yes, Blu-ray - no. Thus, one can understand that the Netbook and Nettop, which are based on the eom set of logic, could easily cope with video clips in the resolution of 1080p, but the play Blu-ray discs, they can not. In short, the video-recorded using the H.264 codec, and VC1, not just for teeth GN40.

Thus, Ion may be destroying a lot of blood in the segment of Intel Nettop. Although, to be honest, this is purely theoretical, as we all know that Nettop and Netbook bleschut no special power, and must watch HD video on the computer!

YouTube will block all the British music videos

YouTube representatives have reported that understands how "shocking" such action may appear in the eyes of others, although most of YouTube, in this case does not depend. At the same time, the head of PRS Steve Porter is very dissatisfied with this course of affairs. "This step punishes primarily British audience and the musicians, whose interests we defend. Google told us that they are making this move, as want to pay for impressions, much less than now. The company is not willing to pay for content, and even if there is traffic to YouTube in the last year has grown decently, "- said Porter.

It seems that Google finds fault in the entire PRS, but the PRS is guilty corporation Google. The truth is, Google believes that the financial side of the issue - not the only problem that led to such conflicts. "Our recent collaboration has shown that the interests of the parties more and more away, it was easier to remove content, than to continue negotiations with the PRS", - said Patrick Walker.

Currently, Google is going to invite all the British music companies to cooperate, that's only this cooperation will bypass PRS.

First Android Phone from Toshiba is close?






Apparently, Toshiba will introduce users to the court its first smartphone based on Android platform very soon. This is the conclusion of the British portal Tech Radar, The Unwired and several other independent sources. Evidence began to fresh data on the two smartphones from Toshiba, which appeared at GSK.

In this case, refers to a certain model, which is considered to be analogous to the well-known model TG01. It is yet unnamed, and as shown on photos, documents until it is as "To Be Advised", which translated into the Russian language means "the information will be provided later. According to preliminary data, this unit is very similar to the TG01 in many respects and both models belong to the category of smartphones 3.5G.

According to Tech Radar, it is possible that this is the first smartphone based on Toshiba Android, although in a telephone conversation with British journalists, representatives from Toshiba have stated that currently, the Japanese company is focusing all its attention on the TG01. On the other hand, after Toshiba has joined the Open Handset Alliancev year before last, it never showed any model-based platform Android. Moreover, the Japanese have kept complete silence on this issue, and that generates a lot of rumors.

Rightly or not, is hard to say, but let's hope that the data provided to The Unwired, completely untrue. Do not know how you will, but the latest smartphone from Toshiba, TG01, we liked.

Yakuza came to the aid of PlayStation 3






Just do not think that the Japanese mafia somehow helped in promoting the Sony PS3. In this case a third series of the game Yakuza, which is known in Japan as "Ryu Ga Gotoku", which translated into the Russian language means "like a dragon," says Tech Radar.

According to the latest statistics, over the last week of February, Sony managed to sell in the country of the Rising Sun 36513 consoles PS3. The second and third places were Nintendo DSi (35,827 units) and Sony PSP (35,588 units). Regarding the Xbox, then it was sold just 11,795 units. It should be noted that the Nintendo DS Lite continues to enjoy success among buyers: for the last seven days in February, has sold 11,774 of these prefixes.

It should be noted that according to some analysts, Sony should lower the price of the PS3, to lift sales, but others believe that the problem was the lack of interesting games. On the other hand, some game developers have complained that the development of games for PS3 are more complex than the development of games for Wii and Xbox, due to the fact that the PS3 is based on the CPU Cell. It seems that in the long run Sony will have to take action, and in both plan to bring the leaders of PS3 in sales. With respect to these small victories, they are certainly nice, but have only a tactical value.

A Sony VAIO P little secret






As you know, the new mini-laptop from Sony, VAIO Lifestyle P, is available in three versions, with the processor Intel Atom 1,33 GHz and 1,60 GHz and 1,83 GHz. With regard to the internal drive, there may be three options: a hard drive or SSD drives 64 and 128 GB. It is not difficult to guess the price VAIO P depends on the configuration of the mini-laptop, and I have to say, the difference in price between the versions is very significant.

Based on the results of tests conducted VAIO P Forum, the performance of Sony VAIO P to a greater extent depend on the type of internal drive, rather than the processor. In fact, any difference in performance between the versions, which are equipped with SSD drives 64 and 128 GB. The conclusion is obvious: it makes no sense to spend extra money to purchase more expensive versions of VAIO P processors Atom 1,6 and 1,86 GHz.

Adding that, as a test package experts VAIO P Forum use CrystalMark. It remains only to note that along with Smartphone Palm Pre VAIO Lifestyle P was declared one of the best exhibits at CES'09.

According to the majority of users, namely the graphics card GeForce 9600M, which is part of the video subsystem these notebooks is random green lines and other very unpleasant artifacts on the screen.

While the graphics subsystem MacBook Pro Hybrid (Hybrid SLI), and consists of the kernel and the discrete 9400M card GeForce 9600M, "glitches" appear only when the latter works. Some people argue that in such cases, rebooting the entire system can resolve this problem, but others felt that after a while these "glitches" appear again.

ASRock came on the market for mobile computers






It appears that ASRock really wants to try their luck in the market of mobile computers, although they say that apple is nowhere to fall, and the sort of low profitability. So, at the CeBIT'09 Taiwanese company, whose name is still more or less known in the market of computer components, has shown a "Netbook" - MultiBook G12.

On the other hand, MultiBook G12 boasts 12.1-inch display with a resolution of 1280 × 800, and he built on the basis of 2-nuclear processor. This is most likely Atom 330. His e-filling consists of a 2-nuclear processor (most likely, this Atom N330!), 2 GB RAM, integrated graphics and 2.5-inch hard drive with up to 500 GB.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4860 brags fast memory

This card is made in the MXM form factor and is equipped with memory chips GDDR5 5GT / s by Qimonda - IDGV1G-05A1F1C-50X. At the moment this is the fastest in the world of memory chips, and they have the bandwidth 5Gbayt / s for each contact. Please note: the latest figures (50) and the letter X refers to the bandwidth for each contact - 5GT / s or 5 Gb / s in one direction. For comparison, the figure for the most powerful card from NVIDIA, which, incidentally, is based on a core 55 nm G92b, GeForce GTX 280 is only 60.8 GB / s, and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 - 56,8 GB / s . The last card, among other things, based on the core of M98.

Apparently, AMD / ATI is also going to use these memory chips in graphics cards for desktop systems. In fact, the modules IDGV1G-05A1F1C-40X (4 GT / s) already used in the engineering samples of RV790. But Qimonda is not the only manufacturer of memory chips DRAM, which can boast of such fast chips. As you know, back in November last year, Hynix announced its intention to begin serial production of chips GDDR5 7 GT / s.
