AMD新一代顯卡發布:ATI Radeon HD4770

ATI最新一代40nm製程的Radeon HD4770產品,除了在價位上相當犀利外,在規格面的部份也比現有的HD4670還要高上一個檔次,正式的官報牌價為109美元,至於通路建議零售價則是3,890元台幣,相比於目前同價位的版本大概就屬自家的HD4830與對手的9800GT這兩款,而一旦HD4770開始販售,HD4830的退位將會是不爭的事實,想要趁機撿便宜的玩家可以密切關注一下店家的出清特價,應該也是不錯的選擇;至於對上9800GT的部分就看大家對PhysX與CUDA的需求大不大,比較著重遊戲的玩家可得考慮清楚,畢竟目前的幾款重量級3D遊戲大作還是比較偏NV最佳化的。

The ATI Radeon HD 4770 graphics processing unit (GPU) offers an unbeatable combination of HD gaming performance and price. Featuring the industry’s cutting-edge 40nm process technology and the most advanced GDDR5 memory technology, this GPU delivers seamless frame rates with incredible speed and processing power. Proof that high performance gaming and price can co-exist without compromise.

Intel新推出企業級處理器Xeon 5500系列

英特爾公司宣佈推出17款企業級處理器,由Intel® Xeon® 處理器5500系列領軍。這些處理器是自英特爾約於15年前推出的Intel Pentium® Pro處理器至今,最具革新性的伺服器處理器。

新款企業級晶片可自動調整至特定 (specified) 的電源使用程度,並加速資料中心交易和客戶資料中心查詢。這些產品也在科學發現上扮演重要角色,幫助以使用超級電腦為基礎的學者進行研究,並在降低電費的同時提供更高的電源使用效率。

Intel Corporation introduced 17 enterprise-class processors today led by the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 series. It is Intel’s most revolutionary server processors since targeting the market with the Intel® Pentium® Pro processor nearly 15 years ago. The chips can automatically adjust to specified energy usage levels, speed data center transactions and customer database queries, and will play a key role in scientific discoveries by researchers who use supercomputers as their foundation for research, all while delivering great energy-efficiency for reduced electricity costs.

先前產品開發代號為“Nehalem-EP”的Xeon 5500系列提供數項突破性技術,可大幅改善系統速度並增加功能豐富性。這些技術包括Intel Turbo Boost Technology、Intel 超執行緒技術 (Intel Hyper-Threading Technology)、整合式功率閘極 (integrated power gates)以及效能透過記憶體分頁虛擬化 (extended page tables) 而更加強化的新一代Intel 虛擬化技術 (Intel Virtualization Technology, VT),讓系統適應更廣泛的工作負載。
