TechARP released loads of pics of complete CPU list and name it “Desktop CPU Comparison Guide Rev. 4.2″. from the list you can looking for any CPU you want, of course with its specs, that will make you cool when you debate with another geeks about ancient CPU’s performance..
The pics set is right here. Thanks TechARP! but bulid a database with the CPU’s spec and a search engine will also be great.
We know that the AMD’s HD 3850 is powerful weapon: there’s no NV’s card can have a such performance and such a price tag. But the situation is begin to change: MSI now announced 256M 8800GT. The refrence version performance can be find here.
But different form refrence version, MSI’s red 8800GT is a factory OCed version: 660/1650/2000MHz(core/shader/mem). The final price will be 1599RMB(about $216 USD)
There’s lots of info about G92-8800GTS, and we would like review it again: it will out in 11 Dec, have 128 SP, using 8800GT’s PCB design, and have a upgraded dual slot cooler. The frequency will be 650/1625/1940MHz(core/shader/memory), higher than refrence 8800GT.
The RV610 supports PowerPlay: from the GPU-Z screen cap it’s oberviously a low frequency and that’s because AMD’s tech: PowerPlay. PowerPlay can help people to save the earth while saving the wasted energy.
The spec in the GPU-Z is somehow a little wrong: the card’s runing on a PCIe 2.0 mobo.
Here’s a clear pic of R680. Pls keep in mind that this is a engineer sample. There’s already some pic about this sexy card earlier.
Both cores’ frequency are 777MHz, the same as HD 3870’s. And R680 is using 1GB GDDR3 memory. Source indicate that the retail version’s frequency is still unidentified.
We guess the two big fin sets are still using HD 3870’s old one. So it is a copper-based-aluminum-fin design. So the two fin set and a bigger fan powerful enough to handle two RV670XT GPU?

This version of ForceWare doesn’t change anything except the problem of 8800GT have BSOD after standby/hibernate mode. The Crysis supports remain unchanged.
English version: 32-bit 64-bit
International: 32-bit 64-bit

There’s not many detail yet, but we know that the RV620 is a 55nm product, supports PCIe 2.0, DirectX 10.1, UVD and software Crossfire(which doesn’t require a connector).
RV620
AMD released Catalyst 7.11 today. The release note is right here. Strongly recommended read first while downloading the Driver.
We have the core shot, the GPU-Z screen cap, but because of the drivers and other tools problem we can’t have it benched.
But finally we we’ve got the bench result. Let’s see:
Test bed:
Intel Celeron 460（2.4GHz）
Foxconn P35A-s
Windows Vista Ultimate
ForceWare 169.06
Defult Frequency G98 3Dmark06 result：1236
After RV670, AMD will continue to announce mainsteam GPUs, the RV635.
The existing RV630 will begin to shift to RV635 in 08 Jan. RV 635 is a 55nm, DX10.1 Shader Model 4.1 supported chip, also supported PCIe Gen2. Will be named as HD 3600 series.
the RV635 also the same as RV630, intergrated with 24 Stream Processors, 120 Stream Processing Unit(ALU), 16 Texture Address Unit, 8 Texture Filter Unit and 4 ROP. It have a 128bit memory interface, can equip with DDR2, GDDR3 and GDDR4. The highest core frequency will be 800MHz.
Did you have a empty ExpressCard slot? This ExpressCard from Buffalo certainly can help you to fill that. The card help bandled with a USB slot and a eSATA slot. Yes USB and eSATA is normal but it will be plug with different devices and can not find a empty one in the future.. thanks for the ExpressCard’s native PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, the eSATA in the card can run about 300MB/S.
Buffalo will begin to sell the card in next month, about 4700Yen(~$43).
testing version GPU-Z screen cap，already fixed lots of datas.
After contected TPU’s W1zzard, we finally got the GPU-Z screen cap that seems right.
The day before we had a post of a GPU-Z screen capture of NVIDIA code name G98(D8M), and now we’ve got the G98 core shot. (also have a G86 for comparison)
Ukrainian website KKK release a pic that seems like a slide from AMD. We can notice that PCIe 2.0 have some boost on the performance. But is that really it?
It is known that the difference between PCIe and PCIe 2.0 is the bandwidch. Though HD 3850 is weak, but in the slide it seems used up all the bandwidth. One PCIe 1.0 lane is 250MB/s, and one PCIe X16 is 4GB/s. is that all they used up or just another propaganda for promo the PCIe Gen2?
