3DMark 11 is the latest version of the world’s most popular benchmark for measuring the 3D graphics performance of gaming PCs. 3DMark 11 uses a native DirectX 11 engine designed to make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11, including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. 3Dmark 11 is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 11 under game-like loads. 3DMark is trusted by gamers and enthusiasts worldwide to cut through marketing hype and technical jargon to give accurate and unbiased guidance for PC hardware purchasing decisions. Coming Q3 2010.

The AMD "Cypress" desktop Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has been available on the market (as the ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics accelerator) for over two quarters now. Since its release, the RV870 XT GPU part used in the ATI Radeon HD 5870 has appeared on a number of graphics accelerator designs other than ATI's own "reference" Radeon HD 5870. Notable examples include Gigabyte's GV-R587SO-1GD and the MSI R5870 Lightning, both being re-engineered iterations of the ATI Radeon HD 5870, complete with alternate power and thermal layouts.

Asia-Pacific, May 7, 2010 – Sony is bringing the stunning technology that revolutionized consumer displays to its line of professional monitors. The new PVM-740 is the first field display to use an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel with Sony’s unique Super Top Emission™ technology to efficiently deliver superb high contrast and vibrant color images, even in adverse lighting conditions.

Yes, it has finnaly come to this, after countless hours of work, the job is done. Up to 4 GTX480 team up their might to face up to 4 HD5870. Scaling, or not, CPU limit, or not, the massive 4WAY SLI review is finnaly up. And you don't even want to see the power consumtpion tests!

"Turbo Boost Technology dynamically control the processor core and the core according to the situation by closing some of the under-frequency load that can raise a similar system from Intel after AMD is preparing to turn. Thuban was the code name given II X6 6-core Phenom processors are ready to sell to the end of the month, AMD and Intel in the technology, called Turbo Core as the core starts to dynamically manage. This 6-core processor technology up to three seeds, with automatic overclocking 500MHz"

Sometime ago, we shared with you about this realistic humanoid "Geminoid TMF", well I found a video on youtube. Check it out, especially those facial emotions the robot making.

Creepy? Realistic? Your call.

SINGAPORE, April 1, 2010 – Snapfish by HP has announced the launch of its new PhotoSkin offering and product line, making it easy for customers in Singapore to create decorative covers for personal electronic devices using color photos from their Snapfish account. The PhotoSkin offering is a partnership with www.Garskin.com, maker of made-to-measure skin products.

According to Donanimhaber.com, AMD is working on 2nd generation DX11 line-up and it will be based on completly new GPU architecture. Donanim Haber also underlines that, next-gen cards will be launched in 2nd half of this year as Dirk Meyer (AMD' CEO) said before. Still there is no official infos about the technical details of new architecture but some people speculates that new design supports MIMD desing approach.

Unigine's Heaven Benchmark has now been upgraded to 2.0, featuring a slew of new tests that put your DirectX 11 card to the test.

According to the latest press release, some of the key changes include more content, improved engine and a introduction of "moderate" and "extreme" tessellation modes.

Linux version (32/64 bit) is supported .
