Tegra 3 isn't even close to Snapdragon 600. It's around a third of the speed.

You seem to be confused. Refresh rate is a measure of how many different frames can be shown in a second, and response time is a measure of how long it takes a pixel to complete a color transition after starting one. Neither measures how long it takes to display a new frame after the input has...

Slide 2, bottom right. "...based on OOO architecture." I guess you missed ARM's Cortex A5* announcement? I think it's a good thing that we're seeing official comments on upcoming releases, even if they're so high-level they're effectively meaningless. This is pretty solid evidence that Intel...

Oh god that white PCB. It's so...beautiful.

Don't buy from Nvidia, enemy of your freedoms.

Lava, Lenovo, ZTE, and Motorola all have Medfield phones. There's also the Orange San Diego, which is manufactured by Gigabyte. They're not widely available in the US because carriers don't think a phone can be competitive without LTE, but the benchmarks are quite impressive. A single core...

You forgot the part where it was raytracing the entire thing in real time. Kepler doesn't even come close to that.

The most important thing about these cards is that they're normal x86 processors and don't require any sort of special consideration (although optimization is always nice). It's basically 50 Pentium Is with Sandy Bridge FPUs tacked onto them, fabbed on a 22nm process.

Honestly, I think Windows 8 is *less* Fisher Price than Windows 7. There's no more round, childproof corners on the windows, the cute bubbly start orb is gone, and the entire UI is more angular and masculine. And although I have no issues with using the CLI, I think you're blatantly...

I really don't understand all of the hate for Windows 8. Apart from the Start Menu, which is admittedly pretty terrible, it's better in every way than Windows 7. Honestly, though, how much time do you really spend with the Start Menu open? I usually just type in a couple of letters of the...

No, if he did then his monitor would be the bottleneck. It probably already is. SLI 670s is the kind of muscle you use to drive multiple 1440p displays.

Industry first PCIe native SSD, not industry first bootable PCIe card. The RevoDrive has the SSD controllers behind a PCIe -> PCI-X bridge, a PCI-X SATA controller, and a SATA RAID controller. Around $4000-6000. Possibly higher. Remember, this is SLC NAND, so it's going to be substantially...

If you're not completely set with your power switch choice, how about setting up a touch sensor so you can just tap the front of the case to turn it on, and turn it off in the OS (so you don't accidentally tap your computer and lose all of your work)? They're not unreasonably expensive (off the...

Yes. There's already three Intel-based phones out there, the Lava XOLO X900, the Lenovo K800, and the Orange San Diego. Intel is probably looking to integrate a baseband into their Medfield processors, which will reduce overall bill of materials cost as well as device power consumption. I've...

I think most people in this thread don't realize that S3 makes the PowerVR series of mobile GPUs. They'll never be making a comeback into the desktop segment. Right now S3 is the king of SoC graphics, along with Qualcomm and their Adreno lineup. Nvidia and ARM are also relevant, if not dominant...
