Code for ATI R 600 systems / made available to R 700

The AMD company published the ostentatious code whom programming the R 600 layouts is supposed to assist / R 700. It will let for creating opened providing software D using assisting 3 on ATI/AMD cards, including the newest cards of series 4 into it xxx. Users of the Linux for a long time awaited both documentation of R 600 arrangements and R 700 for publishing by the AMD company codes. It is worthwhile adding, that in February the company published it documentation of programming 3 D of the R 500 arrangement.

The AMD company made available the code being a demo together with commentaries who will enable the implementation of acceleration 3 for programmers to D on ATI cards, including into it the HD 45 xx latest models, 46 xx and 48 xx.

Now nothing should stop authors of the software open-source from writing programs with the support for Radeon cards. They say that in a month AMD will publish more distant, counting 180 parties for oneself, documentation.

Mobii - new netbook of the company Point of View

To the circle of producers netbooks a company of Messages joined View of. For her a model broadened the offer named Mobii, built based on the processor Intel Atom. He is giving users back in hand to 1 GB of the DDR 2 memory, screen about diagonal 10.2 inch and the disc for capacities of 160 GB. Mobii is a name new netbook of the company of Messages View of. His structure was leaned against the processor Intel Atom clock with clock for frequencies 1.6 GHz.

The device was equipped moreover with 1 GB of the DDR 2 memory, SATA hard disk for capacities of 160 GB and modules enabling the transport behind the mediation of the Ethernet and the wireless network in the 802.11 b/g standard. For showing the image a LCD screen is being used about diagonal 10.2 inch, x 600 working in resolution 1024.

The casing in the black colour is covering also an ExpressCard 34 socket in itself, camera for resolutions 1.3 megapixel, two loudspeakers about power 1 in everyone and 3 USB 2.0 ports. Organising x 189 x of 39 mm about sizes 254 is weighing 1.25 kg. Netbook can work under the Windows XP Home system audit or Linpus Linux.

CES: the first supporting USB 3.0 drive?

At the CES fair (Consumer Electronics Show) who will undergo on days 8 themselves - 11 January in Las Vegas, the Symwave company intends to present the first storing device waiting the USB standard on at the 3.0 version. It will be one of the first practical presentations of the third version of USB interface.

It appears from the press information referred by the Symwave company that a storing device waiting the USB standard on at the 3.0 version will be presented. However no further details were given. It isn't also obvious when the first devices agreeable and supporting this standard were supposed to come the market across. However it is obvious that public presentations will certainly precipitate this process and very shortly we will be able to expect the first supporting USB 3.0 devices on the market.

USB 3.0 is supposed to guarantee over 10 - time productivity growth with reason of the standard in the 2.0 version. The transfer on the level almost for a second has 5 gigabits to allow for the transfer of the file for magnitudes of 25 gigabytes in little over 1 minute. In case of the 2.0 interface the needed time for copying such a big file would be almost 14 minutes. Other novelties whom USB 3.0 is supposed to lead, are a better system of the power management and a possibility of using optical cables.

Happy New Year!!!

To those we loved and see each day
and other loved ones far away
To all good friends who mean so much
and those whith whom we're are of touch...
Best wishes for a happy NEW YEAR !!!

ATI Stream

Nvidia has it CUDA , in December however a counterpart of this technology will turn up for GPU of Radeon HD 4 xxx series. It is giving hope for becoming widespread of graphics cards for not only generating insults 3D , but also carrying calculations out(e.g.physical). What it is determining for games , it is obvious , but content owners of portable video players should be also. Became a Converter Video , using the software will also make ATI AVIVO available to ATI power lying dormant in GPU for the conversion of the image ( what is giving over 17 - greater cases speeding up in the comparsion to quad core CPU !!). Indeed , it is not a novelty , because similar applications are already available on GeForce , but are paid (from 30 $ up) - and the ATI answer will be accessible for free for all holders of these cards.

GF GTX 260 - End ?!

And more preciselu of primal version of this card. For her GTX 260 present already at the market produced in process 55 of nm and equipped with 216 individuals shading in will take the place. But it is reportedly not an end of festive changes in Nvidia-really "new" 280 was next?

Acer Aspire Predator Sniper II

Ready"shop" computers not very are often prepared specially with the thought about players , but exceptions sometimes come up. Predator is one of them - admittedly he is feeling , still before on it the first game will be started. Question only , whether his uniqueness isn't limited to a nice casing?

A configuration is going to the front line. After the deeper penetration it is possible to conjecture that at for her creating it was a leitmotif "twice as much". So we have the quad - core processor , four gigabytes of the RAM , two hard disks , two optical drives ( CD writer the DVD and the reader Blu-ray) and two graphics cards working in SLI , two nests of the gigabit Ethernet and 64 - bit Vista version. Additionally we are getting chilling with liquid , sound based on the Creative technology Logitecha peripheral deviceses X-Fi and meant for players: mouse G 5 and the keyboard G 11. He is doing that's all fairly good impression-apparently , we are dealing with the competitor of the heavyweight , because the weight of the set more or less is an around half ton.
