- Intel Core i5-660/661 Processors Tested - Many
users thought
that the Core i5-600 would be like Core 2 Duo, just better -- a very
fast processor for single and dual-threaded tasks. Unfortunately,
we have to disappoint them: multi-threading is meat and drink for these
CPUs, they need it as much as higher-end processors do.
- NVIDIA CEO: GF100 in volume production - During
NVIDIA's CES Press Conference this morning,
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang confirmed
that their next-generation GF100 Fermi GPU is in volume production now,
although he wouldn't provide an exact release date. Huang also
confirmed that GF100 would support NVIDIA's upcoming 3D Vision
Surround, which provides 3D Vision support across multiple displays in
a similar fashion to ATI's Eyefinity tech. FYI, the GF100 is about 10.5
inches long, takes up two PCI slots, has a cooling system with one fan,
and requires extra power via two PCIe power connectors (one 6-pin and
an 8-pin). Nvidia's card has support for SLI (3-way SLI), DirectX 11,
OpenCL, PhysX, CUDA, and should boast a 384-bit memory interface as
well as 512 CUDA cores.
