Freescale and the University of Florida developed the industry's first double-gate transistor model that is believed to enable smaller and more powerful silicon products while consuming less power than today's single-gate transistors. Read more
When it came to cooling systems, Thermaltake had quite a few interesting thing to show. Air cooling wise, the manufacturer promoted 14 cm fans with two new models: the V14 Pro and the BigTyp 14 (the latter had already been seen at the CES). The first model, very wide, uses 6 heat pipes to send heat on the two copper heat sinks that aren't that thick, but that are wide. In between is the fan that is placed vertically, a la Zalman CNPS. It'll easily evacuate the casing's hot air but will provide only a small air flow to the chipset and the processor's power supply stages. On the opposite, the BigTyp 14 and its six heat pipes in U will handle this well and should have better overall performances for the processor. Both air cooling systems should be available in a month. Read more
While two other 500 GB mobile hard drives have been available for a while, WD is the first to release this capacity in a model using the standard 9.5 mm height with two platters. Read more
We recently built a $2,500 gaming system with three GTX 260 Core 216 graphics cards, noting that these were less expensive than two GTX 280s. In the performance-value game, is 3-way SLI in the cards? Read more
We’ve built, overclocked, and tested our $625, $1,250, and $2,500 performance machines. How will these three systems compare in overall performance and value? Read more
We’ve seen how far a moderately priced Core i7 system can take us and now we’re ready to assess the performance advantages of better cooling and a stronger graphics configuration. Will our upgrades be worth the money? Read more
