Available the heatsink Scythe Mugen 3

Scythe has announced the availability on the European market heatsink Mugen 3. Like the two previous models, we find the operating principle of technology-based MAPS (Multiple Airflow pass-through structure), but this time the structure of the heat sink is slightly different. No more than 5 independent mini-radiators, but larger units 4 through 6 from a total of heapipes copper.

A PWM fan "Slip Stream" 120mm, operating at speeds varying between 300 and 1600 RPM (9.60 ~ 32.15 dBA) is responsible for disposing of heat between the thin aluminum fins. The Scythe Mugen 3 has dimensions of 130 x 100 x 158 mm and weighs 825g and is compatible with AMD socket AM2/AM2 + / AM3/AM3 + and Intel LGA775/1155/1156/1366.

Retail Box of Chinese channels on the Llano APU

Appeared in the Chinese market retail packs of the first APU AMD "Llano". Thye featured models belong to the series A8 and A6-3800-3600: with an integrated quad-core and, respectively, the iGPU 6550D (400SPs) and 6530D (320SPs). Officially, these products are only on display but not yet purchased. The shops in Hong Kong confirmed the availability between June 30 and July 1 along with the motherboard socket FM1.

Core i7-980 Extreme

Intel has released a Core i7-980. The only difference with the Extreme Edition (Core i7-980X) is that it does not have an unlocked multiplier and the QPI is a bit slower. It therefore fills in part the void left by the death of the X until the arrival of Sandy Bridge-E that will populate the top of the table by the end of the year (see "Intel Core i7 four and 10 Xeon disappear").

This news confirms what we told you last week in our current "Core i7 980: the X makes the difference." Core i7-980 takes the place of the i7-970. It will cost much less than the Extreme version since it will be sold at $ 583, against $ 999 for the 980X. The new model is aimed primarily at owners of a 1366 map LGA wishing to update their configuration without changing the motherboard.

Nokia abandons MeeGo

In an interview with Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat, the PD G Nokia said it was abandoning MeeGo smartphone, even if it appears that the operating system is a success in the N9 week presented last. Stephen Elop thus proclaims his loyalty to Windows Phone that will clearly become the preferred operating system of the firm.

This position is not a surprise. The presentation of the N9 to the press was a success and the first impressions were very positive. However, the PD G suddenly decided to divert attention from its smartphone MeeGo presenting a phone near the N9 shipping a Windows version 7 Phone Mango and meet code-named Sea Ray.
