Cubitek presents the number of homes Magic Cube

Cubitek presents a new set of PC case, "Magic Cube", made entirely of aluminum, based on a revolutionary modular design concept. Are already available in two models: Magic Cube Magic Cube B211 and B210 with freely configurable modules. The new Magic Cube houses consist of three separate sections: the main module for the motherboard, graphics card and the CPU, the storage module for 3.5-inch hard disk drive and the module for scanners and readers memory cards.

Afoxé HD6850 creates a single-slot 6-pin

Afoxé Corporation, a Hong Kong partner of both AMD and nVidia, has developed an interesting model of video card based on chip Barts PRO (Radeon HD 6850) which presents an alternative design of the cooling system and the PCB. The special heat sink occupies a single slot, against two of the reference solution and uses a low-profile fan in the front position.

The circuit board in addition to being more compact without the extra PCIe power connector 6-pin, this means that the card can operate using only the power provided by the PCI-Express mainboard. Despite the substantial changes in the two-1024D5S1 AF6850, the acronym of the new full VGA Afoxé - provides technical specifications are taken from the AMD reference board: GPU with 960 Stream Processors, a GPU clock of 775 MHz, 1024 MB of video memory GDDR5 256-bit bus and clocked at 4000 MHz is currently not clear how the producer of Hong Kong has managed to maintain these specifications and at the same time lowering fuel consumption in full-load from 127W AMD reported by only 75W under PCIe slot.

Dual core at 1.6 GHz for Archos

Archos - which is fine - announced last week that his "generation" 9 tablets used in some cases an ARM processor at 1.6 GHz with two cores. It speaks of a type model Cortex A9, while the shelves of generation 8 Cortex A8 uses a 1 GHz, as many shelves today: the iPad Galaxy Tab and use this type of core.

Lais that produces Cortex A9 at this frequency? For now, nobody. The current implementation is the fastest of Renesas, a dual core Cortex A9 at 1.2 GHz. According to early sources, that Texas Instruments chip that would provide the new Archos, scheduled for June. We can assume it will be a OMAP4 SoC, which combines two cores with a GPU Cortex A9 PowerVR SGX540.

Intel SSDs 320 for late March

320 Intel SSDs should be placed on the market earlier than originally planned. They are expected for March 28 next year and would run between $ 109 and $ 1,119 depending on the variations ranging from 40 GB to 600 GB Earlier this month, the information on these Postville Refresh asserted that Intel provided an outlet for mid-April (see "Intel SSD 320 Series for mid-April).

As a reminder, these SSD X25-M to succeed. They have memory chips etched into 25 nm (see "Life of DSS in 25 nm, it would have died [3]), unlike the Intel 510 that make use of chips in 34 nm confirms SSDs LaCie 510 Intel "). Intended for the midrange market, and small and medium enterprises or the embedded market, they offer 39,500 IOPS read and 23,000 IOPS write 4 KB, respectively.

Motherboard Foxconn Quantum Force Rattler with P67 chipset

With the launch of the new Quantum Force Rattler, Foxconn a clear signal that the consumer brand of motherboard is still active. The board is based on the P67 chipset for Intel LGA-1155 (Sandy Bridge) and was developed with users keen to overclock. Foxconn has implemented circuitry 12 +2 phase PWM power supply cooled by a pair of heatsinks connected by dual-heatpipe.

The black PCB has two PCI Express 2.0 x16 red (with support for AMD Crossfire configurations), six SATA ports (4 to 6 Gbps and two 3Gbps), eight USB ports (two and six 2.0 3.0), two eSATA and a FireWire. To signal the revival of a door to the old PATA HDD / optical drives. Two Gigabit Ethernet controllers and the HD audio subsystem manages the sound to 7.1 channels.

LG OLED TV will produce 55 "late 2011

OLED displays are gaining ground in the market for small screens (smartphones, tablets, etc..) And LG has started to purchase the equipment necessary for production of OLED panels 55 "at its plant in Paju (South Korea) from the end of 2011. But there is a trick. These slabs will indeed OLED, but not where it is usually understood.

They emit only white light is filtered uniform RGB sub-pixels in a layer in front. An OLED panel " Classic "has directly emitting diodes of red, green or blue. So LG will market in 2012 what could be called hybrid OLEDs. Their image quality is unknown but should be close to" real "OLEDs, especially as regards the response time and viewing angles.

The Sunday Quiz (9) - on Facebook

This week in the Quiz on Sunday, you are given an image and you must try to find what is and what it does. Today, something a little more difficult than for the first quiz, then hopefully. For this ninth quizzes, small change: we will also play on Facebook. The scoring is the same, and you have the right to play 11 hours between Sunday and Monday, 11 hours, but the answer will be given on Tuesday: Another photo of the same object will be available on Facebook.
