Tech Reading - G80 in Mid-November - tech

(hx) 12:00 AM CEST - Oct,03 2006

Kentsfield's successor named: Yorkfield - Unlike Kentsfield, Yorkfield is designed from the ground up for quad-core, and will be manufactured on Intel's upcoming 45-nm manufacturing process.
Kentsfield quad-core performance previewed - Which was really interesting to note was that the new Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU runs at a lower clock rate (2.66 GHz against 2.93 GHz on Core 2 Extreme X6800) and yet was between 38% and 82% faster for those tasks. So if we had two CPUs running at the same clock rate, the performance difference would be a lot higher.
Sapphire Radeon X1300 XT Overclocked Edition 256Meg - Although this card is a little slow getting onto the retail market, it will be a popular card seeing it will be priced extremely well and yet will still have a performance punch to keep the occasional gamer more than happy

Ageia to release PCI-Express PhysX card - Ageia, the company who looked to make waves in the 3D community with the introduction of physics processing cards as an addon, is announcing the release of a new PhysX card.

Mini Linux PC breaks $100 barrier - The TU-40 is passively cooled, comes with 128MB of RAM, and can run lightweight versions of Linux, such as Puppy, the company says.
Liteon 160P6S DVD Burner - One inexpensive choice that might interest you is Liteon's 160P6S, a relatively new 16x DVD burner. Sporting a respectable range of burning speeds and media types along with a very low price and Liteon's reputation for quality, this might be a burner worthy of replacing your old one, or finally convincing those few of you left who only have CD burners to quit procrastinating.
