Intel HD4000 – Benchmarks

Intel Ivy Bridge has launched, a modification of the basic Sandy Bridge architecture, now built to a reduced 22nm manufacturing process where the last-gen was constructed on 32nm architecture. Other improvements include modern Tri-gate transistors and a much-improved integrated graphics core. Tests cited in this articel were conducted on an MSI MS1762 barebones gaming notebook, [...]

NVidia Tegra 4 – Kepler 28 nm

The NVidia GeForce GTX 680 has been receiving rave reviews, thanks in part to its new 28nm Kepler architecture, which involved NVidia completely overhauling its methods of GPU design. That has knock-on effects for mobile devices. Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, beamed, ‘Because of Kepler’s super energy-efficient architecture, we will extend GPUs into super thin [...]

Valley View – Atom Plans For 2013

Leaked slides detailing Intel’s Atom roadmap suggest the company is developing its next-gen Atom processors – code named Valley View – to be built on a 22nm architecture and sporting Ivy Bridge class integrated GPUs.

Fermi might come in January

If to believe the sources which claims that, next year in January, Fermi graphic card will be available for sale. Nvidia committed to ship Fermi in January. Fermi is the GPU which is going to stand in competition with the ATI’s Radeon 5000.

Though the launch was in early November but it was postponed to January which is due to the reason that A2 chip revision was not good enough for volume production so A3 is about to ship to partners soon. The sources also say that it wont be launch during CES 2010.

New Atom N450 to be released in January 2010 – $20 more than Atom N270

Graphics and chipset all in a tiny chip! This is what Atom N450 is all about which will hit the market on January 3rd 2010. Being priced at $64 at its launch, it will cost $20 more than the now aging Atom N270, but the money is worth it. Why? Because it includes a GPU too!

Netbook manufacturers are very much excited because it contains two chips in one design and is about the same size as N270 processor. Although there won’t be much improvement in battery life.

Intel also has plans to launch many new products along with launching the Atom N450 officially.
