Users: 0Guests: 158Total: 158We would like to introduce to you two cases designed in the most popular Midi-Tower form-factor. These two solutions have great potential for a universal home computer system.
For half a year since AMD's release of their latest ATI Radeon series we have been waiting for Nvidia to offer an alternative. The long wait is finally over. Let's have our very first look at the new graphics card with Nvidia's GF100 “Fermi” processor.
Seasonic recently released their latest foray into the retail PSU market, the X-Series with 80 Plus Gold certification. As one of the highest efficiency power supplies on the market, the X-750 looks to provide ample power for midrange to high-end systems. Not surprisingly, the high quality design also carries a hefty price tag, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
The chief competition for the X-Series comes from Enermax with their Pro87+ and Modu87+ line. A quick look a pricing indicates Seasonic has the advantage in both availability as well as pricing, making the X-750 all the more interesting. Are you planning on building a new system with CrossFire 5870 or perhaps GTX 480? Well, GTX 480 SLI might be pushing things too far, but for just about anything else the new Seasonic X-Series PSUs are certainly worth a look.
We received Dell's latest R810 server for review, coupled with the Intel Xeon X7560. The R810 supports two or four octal-core Intel Xeon Nehalem EX processors, with the potential of running up to 64 threads and half a Terabyte of memory. It also includes enhanced RAS features and hopes to compete with the RISC heavyweights like IBM's Power 7 servers, only at a much lower cost.
With stiff competition from AMD's Magny-Cours servers, IT professionals need to focus more than ever on the intended use before diving into a new server. We'll show where the Xeon EX does well and where other solutions have an advantage as we look at the R810 and Nehalem EX.
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> It’s been a while since AnandTech featured a P55 board review, but while Intel is expanding on their high-end with $1,100 Core i7 980X CPU’s, their low-to-mid-range P55 platform is still the one on most people’s radars. Today’s we’re looking at two Intel P55 boards that fall under Intel’s “Extreme” series, the DP55KG and DP55SB.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> The “Extreme” series has historically produced one board per chipset so that Intel has an offering for those consumers with overclocking high on their agenda. This time round, Intel has gone for a couple of boards, their separating feature being the form factor – one ATX and one M-ATX.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Today we have something a bit different for you from the GPU world: aftermarket cooling. Thermalright sent over a complete aftermarket GPU cooling kit for our Radeon 5870 containing 3 of their products: their Spitfire GPU heatsink, their VRM-R5 VRM heatsink, and their X-Silent 140mm fan, which combine to form one truly monstrous GPU cooler. Thermalright claims that they got a 32C reduction in the load temperature of a Radeon 5870 in their labs, so let’s put this to the test and see if their latest cooler is as good as they claim it is.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">We first laid eyes on Western Digital's Raptor line of 10K RPM desktop hard drives in 2003. The drives were only 36GB in size, but man were they fast. Since then Western Digital has increased capacity, decreased physical platter size (3.5" to 2.5") and overall driven performance up. With the last VelociRaptor dating back to 2008, the line was overdue for an update.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Available in 450GB and 600GB capacities at $299 and $329, respectively, the new VR200M keeps the formula mostly unchanged but sees a performance boost thanks to increasing platter density. Can it restore faith to the VelociRaptor line?</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Last September when AMD unveiled its new DirectX 11 GPUs, we were promised the ability to drive a minimum of 3 or a maximum of 6 displays off of a single card. Every single AMD DX11 graphics card that has launched since has delivered on that promise, even down to ridiculously low price points. The one thing we've been missing is a card that we can hook up to six displays. Until now that is.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">This is the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition. It's a standard 5870 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory instead of the default 1GB, all clock speeds are the same (850MHz core, 1.2GHz memory). Power requirements go up slightly due to the increase in memory size, and thus the card requires a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector. The big difference is the Eyefinity 6 Edition's 6 mini Display Port connectors which allowed us to drive one ridiculous display in today's review.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> This one may be a bit too subtle for most, but bear with me here. AMD's latest Opteron has a lot of cores, 12 per chip to be exact. It's got so many cores that AMD's codename for the chip is Magny-Cours. Did I mention that AMD likes naming things after Formula 1 courses? Gotta get the most out of that Ferrari sponsorship.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> The target? Intel's new 32nm 6-core Xeon processors, introduced just </span>t<span style="font-size: small;">wo weeks ago</span><span style="font-size: small;">. AMD is roughly a year away from shipping 32nm CPUs in volume, and the same distance away from its brand new Bulldozer architecture, so AMD had to do something more drastic to compete.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">AMD sent us a test platform with a pair of 12-core Opteron 6174s. We're talking about a 692mm<sup>2</sup> die, 19.6MB of cache and 12 Opteron cores on a single package. And we've got two of them. Is that enough to beat Intel's 6-core Xeons? Let's find out.</span></p>

The 6 month wait for Fermi is finally over. Today NVIDIA is launching their first two Fermi family products: The GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470. Based on the GF100 GPU, the GTX 400 series is targeted directly at the high of the market, competing against AMD’s Radeon 5800 series.
NVIDIA has promissed a great deal about the Fermi family. It's supposed to be a compute monster, a tessellation powerhouse, and of course great at games. A 3 billion transistors and over 500mm2 in die size it's certainly some kind of giant.
So how does it stack up? We've run NVIDIA's latest through our new GPU test suite to see if NVIDIA can deliver on their promises, justify their pricing, and take back their single-GPU performance crown.
