» Intel Itanium 9300 Processor Raises Bar for Scalable, Resilient Mission-Critical Comp |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 8:12 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
Intel Corporation today introduced the Itanium processor 9300 series, previously codenamed "Tukwila," which delivers more than double the performance of its predecessor, boosts scalability and adds reliability features to the Itanium platform that is already running mission-critical applications for 80 percent of the Global 100 corporations.
With the Gartner Group predicting a 650 percent growth in IT data over the next 5 years, businesses need increasingly powerful and scalable enterprise servers. The two-billion transistor Itanium processor 9300 series meets this need head on with twice as many cores as its predecessor (four versus two), eight threads per processor (through enhanced Intel Hyper-Threading Technology), more cache, up to 800 percent the interconnect bandwidth, up to 500 percent the memory bandwidth, and up to 700 percent the memory capacity using-industry standard DDR3 components.

» Intel loves Nvidia for Optimus |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:56 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
Nvidia will soon launch its Optimus (non-Prime. sub.ed.) technology and we've learned that Intel really likes what Nvidia did this time. The technology is basically Hybrid SLI done right, but it works really well this time around.
Nvidia will soon launch it, but the key point is that Optimus needs Intel’s IGP and lives in symbiosis with the GPU. Once Nvidia launches this technology, it won’t go against Intel’s IGP and will stop preaching that Intel’s HD IGP is bad.

» Security chip that does encryption in PCs hacked |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:52 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
Deep inside millions of computers is a digital Fort Knox, a special chip with the locks to highly guarded secrets, including classified government reports and confidential business plans. Now a former U.S. Army computer-security specialist has devised a way to break those locks.
The attack can force heavily secured computers to spill documents that likely were presumed to be safe. This discovery shows one way that spies and other richly financed attackers can acquire military and trade secrets, and comes as worries about state-sponsored computer espionage intensify, underscored by recent hacking attacks on Google Inc.

» BioShock 2 Review (XBox 360) |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:48 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
Following up the truly brilliant BioShock was always going to be an uphill battle for 2K Marin (and friends), and the results here are much what we expected; a structurally excellent sequel which never really reaches the heights of the original.
The sequel's biggest dilemma - and attraction - is Rapture. The underwater city is undoubtedly one of the most distinct video game environments ever created, and we'd already explored it, been shocked and surprised by it, and heard much of the tales it has to tell long before Bioshock 2 existed. Revisiting the wrecked dystopia, then, was never going to carry the same impact as it did the first time around - but 2K Marin does a good job trying.

» White Knight Chronicles Review (PS3) |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:42 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
The PlayStation 3 hasn't exactly been the breeding ground for classic JRPG titles like its predecessor. Most titles have been hand-me-downs from Microsoft's console or games that just don't break the mold other than a few exceptions such as Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles. White Knight Chronicles is about as promising as a first-party RPG can be with developer Level 5 (Dragon Quest, Dark Cloud series) at the helm and the recent trend of fantastic first-party exclusive for Sony's console. While it does introduce a fantastic community where gamers can discuss tactics and plan quests, it still lacks a certain panache that would place among the elite in the genre. Still if you are a PS3-only owner in need of some classic JRPG action, this is one of the better exclusives for the console.

» There Will Be No Install For Final Final XIII PS3 |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 7:39 PM - by Mac Daddy
|
Many PS3 titles have forced owners of the console to install countless GB of content unto the hard drive, this eats up precious space and some gamers just don’t like the long periods before the process is complete. Many have concluded that a game as huge as Final Fantasy XIII must demand an install unto the PS3’s hard drive. They’re wrong, there’s good news.
In a recent interview with the EU PS Blog, the question was posed to the two masterminds behind Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII, asking whether or not there’ll be a need for it.
“There will be no installation, the game runs directly from the disc.”
