It is hard to describe Intel’s release of the Core and Core2 series of processor as anything but a slam-dunk which has made the “blue” company the undisputed performance leader in the desktop segment. To further top it, with the migration to the P1266 45 nm process node including the Hafnium-based transistors, Intel has also set new standards with respect to power consumption. So, the bottom line is that Intel is currently the undisputed performance leader. One of the beauties, however, in the wonderful world of processors is that there is no standing still. The Red Queen rules and you have to run as fast as you can just to stay where you are.
Enter the next generation CPU - Codename Nehalem.

Taking two good things and combining the concept is in most cases a reasonably good recipe for another great product. There is no doubt that also the opposite can happen, you may be getting the worst of two worlds but that is a story for yet another day. ATI’s 4800 series has conquered the world of consumer graphics by storm, featuring the blockbuster RADEON 4850 and of course the mega-performing RADEON 4870. Before either of them was launched, AMD alredy had an ace in the form or the R3870 X2, a dual GPU solution that finally dispelled the sour taste of the Rage2 Maxx from almost a decade ago. The monster R3870 X2 featured two 3870 GPUs connected through a PCIe (1.1) bridge with each of them having their own memory domain of 512 MB of mother’s finest DDR3.
Proof of concepts are good but time hasn't stood still and the 3870 GPUs are somewhat outdated by now and the next generation of GPUs may need a bit more infrastructure to support seamless integration.

Brain Computer Interfaces are the trend of the year. After almost one year of development, OCZ Technology's Neural Impulse Actuator is finally shipping. We have some of the inside scoop on the nia relating to the hardware and software development, as well as some glimpses at the more advanced possibilities of the device. At the end, we have some benchmarks - well, rather some pretty good scores in Unreal Tournament 3 to show that the nia can do a bit more than simply levitating obsolete computer hardware. |
