Athlon X3 gets 20% boost from L3 hack
Written by Andreas G 26 November 2009 20:09
 AMD uses the same base architecture for most of its processors and this is the reason we can often unlock additional CPU cores and such with the cheaper models. It's not that often you hear about unlocking cache though. Not everyone knows that the Athlon II X3 series is really a Phenom II CPU with deactivated L3 cache. Unlike opening up a fourth core, L3 cache usually makes a big difference in games, clearly shown by the Asian site inpai.com. Continue reading...

Cedarview Atom offers 1080p playback ... in 2011
Written by Andreas G 26 November 2009 20:01
 The modern Atom processor has little help from Intel's integrated graphics circuits for playing High Definition video, or even powering high resolution displays. The Intel 945GSE chipset sports an integrated GMA950 GPU that can do 1900x1200 pixels at 60Hz and barely play 720p video. Even if things will improve with the Pineview architecture launch next year, in 2011 the big changes will come. Continue reading...

 NVIDIA's Fermi architecture is widely known as GT300/G300 and hopes to replace the current GT200 architecture with its 3 billion transistors in Q1. Even if Fermi will not be launched until Q1 2010 the first GeForce 3xx card has been spotted. Alas it is now based on NVIDIA's new Fermi architecture, but once again NVIDIA is just fiddling with numbers to confuse buyers. GeForce 310 is more or less identical to GeForce 210, based on the NVIDIA GT218 GPU. Continue reading...
