Few hours after NVIDIA launched the info about their new technology named Optimus, we got information about their intention to show a Fermi-based mobile graphics card on CeBIT, along with desktop cards. What is more interesting is the fact their most powerful new model will come before Q3 and it will consume as much as 100 watts, which puts it in direct competition with CrossFire enabled couples of Mobility Radeon HD5870 (which we are about to see very soon as well). Of course – people started to worry hearing about such high consumption, but rest assured – there will be less demanding cards for those that want something less powerful than the best. …read on

Today is a great day for all those waiting GF100 show offs as some of the first benchmarks leaked in vimeo and were later removed from there, but not before people managed to upload them in youtube and the like. There is only one real benchmark – Far Cry 2, made at the highest possible settings with AA and AI on, and the GF100 averaged over 80 FPS at 1920×1200 resolution. Compared to what we could take for average HD5870 results in the same benchmark (deducted from reading many HD5870 reviews from around the globe), the Radeon does like 60 to 64 FPs with same setting, which makes just over 30% better result for the GF100. …read on

Today’s news said that NVIDIA is going to hold on ION 2 release a bit and probably make it more powerful that expected. If you read the articles about ION 2 so far, you would know that it was expected to have 32 shader cores (uhm.. CUDA cores), which made double the original ION’s 16 cores, and also double the power in 3D, yet not enough to be useful for 3D gaming. It was supposed to be like GeForce GT 130M die shrink made on 40 nm process. BSN even published some specifications of ION 2: …read on

Acording to leaked HP slides that we found in engadget, HP is going to release at least two new Pavilion PC models in early 2010 (Q1), both based on the new Intel Clarkdale cores and ATI Mobility radeon graphics gards. …read on

One of the leading antivirus software developers – Kaspersky Lab, just announced they started to integrate NVIDIA Tesla S1070 1U GPU system in their threat prevention infrastructure. The main goal is speeding up the work on identifying highly advanced virus threats by using file similarity detection techniques. The similarity services enable the identification of new files and define which file, or file groups, most closely resemble the unknown program received by the company’s antivirus lab. …read on
