Kingston will be at the Campus Party 2011

Kingston, the largest independent manufacturer of memory products in the world will participate in the Campus Party 2011 with their spatial memory for overclocking. Campus Party, citing mandatory for techies around the world, began to be held in Spain in 1997. From 11 to 17 July this year to bring together thousands of participants in the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia.

Specifically, Kingston will provide participants of the competition "Overclocking: breaking records" his memory kits latest high performance, Kingston HyperX. The buffs compete against each other in successive rounds, leading to limit the performance of their teams. The overclock is a widespread practice among the most demanding users, which is to modify the operation of certain components to increase performance.

A big bug on Intel SSD 320

Intel has just recognized his forum that a significant number of users reported that a big bug in the firmware of its SSD 320 erases all data and only allows to use only 8 MB of memory, which earned him the name "bug 8 MB" or "8MB bug" on the forums in English. The problem occurs randomly after a reboot or power failure.

It seems, according to testimony on the forum's founder, in some cases the SSD begins to cause problems that require restart and cause the deletion of data and loss of capacity. The problem occurs randomly after 24 hours of use or two months. The evidence also indicates that hard reset can resurrect the SSD for a short time, but the problem comes back almost immediately.

MSI GX680R-i7129LW7P

MSI offers with the "GX680R-i7129LW7P" with twelve gigabytes of memory - an unusual amount for a notebook. Together with the Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core processor (two gigahertz clock frequency), it provides you with office programs, and audio, photo and video editing is extremely high speed. With the graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GT555M), many games run properly.

For complex 3D games in highest settings, it is a bit too slow. Older games are largely liquid. Plenty of room for your data is: MSI has installed two hard drives, which together offer some 930 gigabytes of storage space. The Dynaudio speaker system provides a good sound. The reflective 15.6-inch screen (39.6 centimeters) with 1920x1080 pixel Full HD resolution, this advantage due to a lack of Blu-ray drive, but not optimal.

Samsung wants to burn ARM chips in 20 nm

Samsung in partnership with ARM, has announced its success in burning a SoC (chip all-in-one) in 20 nm, a first. Cortex is an M0, an entry level chip, which was engraved, and Samsung says that the passage in 20 nm requires new approaches, but this unique technology is interesting for the future, especially for chips designed to consume very much like the ARM SoC.

Currently, the majority of ARM SoC working 65 nm or 4x nm (40 nm or 45 depending on depth) and chips in 32 nm and 28 nm are expected at the end of year, with mass availability during the year 2012. In all cases (32, 28 and 20 nm) transistors are high technology-K metal-gate that are used on 22 nm "3D" is reserved for Intel x86 chip company, Intel offers rarely to other manufacturers to use its facilities.

SandForce in the MSAT: 16 to 120 GB

At Computex, the SSD-based SandForce in MSAT had been presented. RunCore, atypical solutions specialist, proposes a complete range of SSD in this format, with a capacity ranging from 16 to 120 GB The MSAT, remember, is a physical format that transmits a signal to a SATA connector identical to that used in the cards Mini Card.

SSD in MSAT thus resembles a Wi-Fi card for laptop - for example - but instead of transmitting the PCI-Express and USB 2.0, SATA is working. Standardized, the MSAT is particularly used in the Chromebook Samsung and some Intel to integrate SSD as "cache." RunCore proposes a complete range.

AMD Launches Radeon 6990M

After NVIDIA GTX 580M and is AMD's turn to propose a GPU for portable high-end Radeon HD 6990M chip. This new chip is in fact (simplifying) a Radeon HD 6870 slow: moving from 900 / 2 100 MHz on the desktop version to 715 / 1 800 MHz here. The chip embeds 1120 calculation units (224 vec5) against 960 (192) on the old high-end HD 6970M.

The texturing power also increases, with 56 units against 48, and the frequency increases from 680 MHz to 715 MHz. The rest of the GDDR5 memory, but AMD recommends 2 GB instead of 1 GB on the old range. The chip, about 20% faster than the 6970M is expected to arrive quickly at Alienware and Clevo.

Windows 8 might play Xbox 360 games

According to information collected by Insiders in May, eight would have a Windows emulator that can play Xbox 360 games. The news has just been taken over by other Teknylate citing sources close to the case and was taken over by Gamespot. Steve Ballmer promised an operating system for gamers. Technically, the Xbox 360 games use the DirectX API and the creation of an emulator is possible, especially if the publisher is Microsoft, which designed the console and the SDK.
