Here’s something that Zol.com.cn claimed to be the new LGA2011 high-end CPU socket that Intel will be launching probably at the end of the year. The three photos were heavily blurred for obvious reasons, and you can’t really say that they’re fake because they do have very unique layout which matches what the site says. Read more…

Micron has just officially unveiled their RealSSD C400 which is using the latest 25nm NAND technology, but calling it “bringing excitement back into personal computing” is somewhat an overstatement , and it says it’s now “accelerating this enthusiasm” with its new RealSSD C400 drives. Read more…

Intel announced that their latest work Light Peak Interconnect is very much ready for implementation into consumer devices, but there’s another bummer here: the technology is using good ol’ copper. Funnily everyone is expecting this new tech to be very awesome and using some sort of alien-like new material or fiber optic the least. Intel’s David Perlmutter says transmissions over copper turned out “surprisingly better” than expected and that it’ll prove plentiful for the majority of user needs today.

Intel’s Light Peak might not be that exciting if you compare it to like dual-core smartphones and tablets, but I do think that it’s a great start. Intel obviously started USB and thanks to them USB 2.0 went massive. However, everyone was condemning the company for ditching USB 3.0 implementation into the P67 and Sandy Bridge platform and opt for Light Peak. Well, if you compare Intel’s 10Gbps speed for Light Peak to 4Gbps of USB 3.0, sudden we see the reason why Intel ditches the USB 3.0 implementation. Read more…

Nvidia is not a no-show at CES, as they did unveil new graphic products from their company. This time around however, it’s something that you can easily purchase off the shelf. Nvidia has unveiled a new line of GPUs at the show that will be the graphics muscle behind some of the best performing notebooks on the market in 2011.

The newly announced GPUs are the GeForce 500M GPU family, and they include the GT 540M, the GT 550M, and the GT 555M, and the more budget 520M and 525M. Those high-end mobile chipsets offer at least four times the performance of integrated GPUs and two times the DirectX 11 performance of competing GPUs. The 520M and 525M are the two mainstream parts in the new line. The new GPUs also support Optimus technology for longer battery life by switching between the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU. That’ll come very handy with new Sandy Bridge laptops.

“GeForce GT 500M GPUs combined with Optimus technology enable the most versatile laptops ever created,” said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook business at Nvidia. “Pairing a great GPU with a strong CPU delivers Optimized notebook performance for consumers.”

The new GPU line also supports Nvidia 3D Vision, PhysX, CUDA, and uses the Nvidia Verde notebook drivers and they support Nvidia 3DTV Play to deliver content from the PC to 3D TVs in the living room. That means 3D getting into mainstream laptops powered by Nvidia.

The GPUs will be used in machines from just about every major computer maker on the planet including Acer, MSI, Alienware, ASUS, Clevo, Dell, and many others. NVIDIA has already announced that it will be working with Tesla to power infotainment systems in the Model S electric sportscar.

DDR3 has just picked up from where DDR2 left. It’s going big and fast and cheap too, which the public needs. However, Samsung has not been chillaxing behind, as the firm has made announcement of a DDR4 DRAM stick that can perform read and write operations using up to 40 percent less power than the old/current DDR3 stuff.

Rumours have been going round that Facebook will be closing down on March 15 with multiple funny reasons, like Mark Zuckerberg wanting his normal life back, or cannot sustain the heavy accusation of him stealing the idea of some other people. Well, no matter what reasons they stated, now we know that all those are false accusation, as Facebook has posted at their Fanpage to clear things up.
