In christmas eve, i received a special present from Santa Claus: an broken 45nm wolfdale dual core CPU.
It is and broken engineering sample with no marks on it. Only the two white dot show it is a 45nm wolfdale.
We managed to have a sneak peek of MCP78s, the upcoming nFocre motherboard with integrated graph processor 8200. The exact date of official announcement is January 28th, 2008.
It is the first mobo that supports Hybrid SLI. But don’t expect the feature can boost up the performance with your xtreme graph card, because it is only an 8200 and it is for mainstream/HTPC purpose.
We have some screenshots of Gigabyte VGA card overclocking utility. It is called “Gamer HUD”. We can see in the screenshot it have voltage o/c, separate clock O/C, and have 2D and 3D power mode.

After some infos of D9P, we also notice the release date of GeForce 9800 GX2 aka D9E. The date is Feburary 19th,2008, not the rumored Mrach.
Update: SP number changed and PCB/Memory design confirmed, sorry for the mistakes we make earlier.

This is our review product: Unika HD 3850 512M GDDR4. It is fatory-OC at 700/2200MHz(core/mem), and the price is 1499RMB (about 203 USD), the same with the referenced HD 3850 256MB GDDR3. The PCB is shorter than reference version and using a dual slot al-cu cooler. The card have quite a lot nice features, but it is BIOS disable PowerPlay, we will mention it later in the review.
RV635, the next era mainstream GPU by AMD, have been spotted benched using 3DMark05. Here is the score, 11001.
But source said he was using AMD OverDrive overclock the VGA card to 750/1650. So the score can not show what’s the chip’s real power.
Dell now shipping its latest LCD product out, the 3008WFP. Click here to the offical page. The price is 2,034USD including 3 year’s warranty. Very Expansive, but it worth this much.
