BlackBerry Coverage "Spy"

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 12:05:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - BlackBerry World app store already has a collection of 10 BlackBerry apps more than 70,000 titles. However, BlackBerry will not stop at that number because when compared to Apple's App Store and Google Play Store is quite far behind.

In addition there are many popular apps, like Instagram and Path, yet present in BlackBerry 10

Many ways have been done to boost the quantity of BlackBerry apps for BlackBerry devices 10. One is to put the "spy" in some countries which are considered potential.

The springs here are evangelist or a BlackBerry application developers charged with monitoring local needs and trends in a country.

"BlackBerry has evangelists spread across several countries. Their job is to monitor local needs and develop specific applications for local," said Martyn Mallick, BlackBerry VP, Global Alliance and Business Development, in the BlackBerry Media Summit in Waterloo, Canada, on Tuesday (12 / 1/2013).

As reported by journalist KompasTekno, Reza Wahyudi, from the headquarters of BlackBerry in Waterloo, Canada, local ambassadors BlackBerry will "supervise" the needs of local users. For example, what's popular news sites in the country. Then, the news reader app for news websites were built, in cooperation with relevant international news or local developers embrace.

According to Mallick, many other local applications that can be built from the inspiration of local needs. As such, the local application of social media, local online shopping sites, banking application, and the application of local television.

Of the evangelist is hoping the number of apps BlackBerry BlackBerry 10 will be more. Not only great in number, applications will certainly be very localized routinely used, not only to meet Blackberry World or only downloaded once.

Focus on local applications, BlackBerry not forget global applications not available on BlackBerry 10. "BlackBerry has two developer teams, global and local. Global team is tasked with presenting popular apps, such as WhatsApp, on BlackBery 10," said Mallick.

"Spy" BlackBerry in Indonesia

In Indonesia, which is one of the largest markets, the BlackBerry has had a "spy". He is Sumyandityo Noor Muhammad, or more fondly known as Noor Didiet, as Developer Relations / Evangelist for RIM Indonesia.

Former producer Guava Games in Yogyakarta and Chief Technology Officer Oneb1t Media is responsible for the development of the BlackBerry developer in Indonesia.

The USB 3 port Fast

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:12:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - With speeds of up to 5 Gbps, or about 600 MB per second, USB 3.0 is one of the fastest interface for traditional computers. This year, the port will receive an update that makes it able to provide data up to two times faster.

"USB 3.0 Promoter Group which determines the USB specification revision 3.0 is doing that will increase the speed to 10 gigabits per second," said President and COO of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) Jeff Ravencraft, as quoted by The Register.

Doubles the transfer speed is not the only improvement to be implemented on USB 3.0. "The other main point is that improve the capacity of encoding data so that the functionality of the data transfer may be more efficient. This will increase the speed, the efficiency of power I / O becomes higher", said Ravencraft .

USB 3.0 Promoter Group Chairman Brad Saunders added that the increase of the speed of USB 3.0 is done by doubling the clockrate, in addition to improving the efficiency of data transfer. "Bandwidth is two times higher than the minimum expected."

Encoding data model that will be applied to USB 3.0 is compatible with all types of data, including audio and video.

However, to take advantage of a higher theoretical speed, the cable will also need a new model. "See, the old wiring is not capable of supporting the new standard for speed," said Saunders, ensuring that the new USB port for compatibility with previous versions of USB ports.

About the name, it is not clear the new USB 3.0 standard will be called something. Once, when it was introduced in 1996, is referred to as the universal "USB" port only. Then, in April 2000, USB 2.0 add frills in the front so that it becomes "Hi-Speed USB." Then there is USB 3.0, which is called "SuperSpeed USB".

Government websites strictly guarded by the "Tiger Team"

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:05:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - Hacker attacks "Anonymous Indonesia" last week to show that the government-owned sites even security vulnerabilities in the case.
To improve safety, security sites, a kind of routine checks needed to examine the gaps or potential threat.
What is to be done by I Made Wiryana, IT practitioners who also runs the website president. How, through an agent or a program that automatically checks the deficiencies that exist on the site.
"So the term penetration tests. Available 'tiger team' is to test the security of online sites. If agents to find anomalies, for example, change the view of the site, without exploits, or access speed slows down, will be immediately reported to the team, "said Made in conversation Kompas Tekno phone, Monday (02/04/2012).
Tiger team or a "tiger team" is a term for a number of experts who have the task of looking for possible security vulnerabilities that exist in a system.
According to the man who is also active as a teacher and Linux activists in Indonesia, the operator of the online site is like the owner of the building that must be carried out routine checks of the building.
"For example, I as the owner, of course I'd like to know, for example, as the guard situation at night, if the guard active guard or asleep, and if the fire alarm went well or not," Made gave parables.
Of course, the security checks must be made with the permission of the owner of "building" is concerned about the method of penetration testing performed by hackers or crackers who only seek to enter the site.
"Between safety talker and a thief, do the same thing, just on different grounds. Thief if it is not allowed, ha-ha-ha," joked Made.
So that no one suspected attackers, Made said the program will be automatically assigned a unique ID that were previously known to the site manager. In relation to the question of etiquette, safety checks priority government websites, especially those who have given permission to examine.
For now, the new method of security checks try to apply in sites managed Made participating governments, the president of the site, Vice President, Kemenpora, and a new site under the Ministry of Education and Culture.
About the program would, in the hope of keeping stakeholders such as the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and Computer Emergency Team Indonesia (ID-CERT).
Made expect all government sites can participate in security controls automatic program. "See, the security aspects should be monitored continuously. Gaps security two years ago, but there can be up to date."
Local easier
To improve the security of online sites in Indonesia, Made suggested that the organizers of electronic systems, including government sites and businesses move data center or data center in Indonesia and the use of domain. "Id".
This is in line with the number of Government Regulation 82 Year 2012 (PP 82/2012) on the implementation system and electronic transactions, which requires every operator of electronic systems for the public employment service center and data recovery emergency center in Indonesia.
"I very much support (PP 82/2012) for secure easy to trace. We could have asked for anyone to access data PANDI (Indonesian Internet Name Domain Management.) If the domain. 'Info', for example, the process was too long, "said Made.
He continued, most government sites in this area have used locally with the suffix ". Go.id." "Although there are some who have not, because it is below a certain department."
With regard to the security of online sites owned by a number of ministries in Indonesia, Done said that many of these sites are business projects in collaboration with third parties. "Once you are finished, it was not continuous control. Safeguards here is the importance of a continuous," he said.

Tricks Save Battery on Processor "8-Core"

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:55:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - How many pieces of the ideal number of cores for mobile devices? One, two, four, or eight? Last number that is chosen Samsung for its latest series mobile processor, Exynos 5 Octa.

It 'was announced at CES Samsung phase, 9 January 2013 yesterday, as if not to be outdone by the other two manufacturers of processors, Nvidia and Qualcomm, which also introduced their pillar.

Although it has a number of core twice more than the previous generation processor, Exynos 5 Octa promised to energy saving and battery waste a high-end smartphone or tablet use.

Why, the Exynos eight major properties Octa 5, only four that have high performance. The four-core Cortex-A15-based architecture, as your processor Exynos dual 5 is used in tablet Nexus 10. The four remaining core with Cortex-A7 core architecture that is optimized for energy efficiency, not performance.

This configuration is the result of applying the concept of "big.LITTLE" from ARM. The eight core Exynos 5 Octa share the workload dynamically depending on the amount of load of the system. For example, navigation or other mild case handled by the core A7, A15 core is assumed temporarily during the execution of a game or application "heavy" other.

Exynos 5 Octa will be one of the first processor that implements the big.LITTLE concept that, if not the first time.

The concept is slightly different from that adopted in the processor Tegra Nvidia Tegra 3 and 4, where chip manufacturers base which gives an additional (core accompanist) can be used only when the four main core is off.

Exynos 5 Octa will be made with the 28nm manufacturing proeses promising energy consumption more efficient 32nm process used to make the Exynos dual 5.

Couples Problem graphics processors (GPU) used in SoC, Samsung does not provide specific information, but the claim that its performance will be twice as fast compared to previous generation processors.

If the processor "old generation" of which include Samsung Exynos 4, then 5 Exynos Octa will probably be put on the Mali-T604 GPU as used by Exynos dual 5.

BlackBerry reboots, rebrands in bid to reinvent

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:05:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - BlackBerry launched its comeback effort with a revamped platform and a pair of sleek new handsets, along with a company name change as part of a move to reinvent the smartphone maker.

Canadian-based Research in Motion said it changed its name to BlackBerry as it launched the BlackBerry 10, the new platform aimed at helping the firm regain traction in a market now dominated by rivals.

"From this point forward RIM becomes BlackBerry," chief executive Thorsten Heins told a glitzy unveiling in New York, one of six global events for the launch. "It is one brand, it is one promise."

The company presented two new devices for its new platform, one with a physical keyboard called the Q10, and a touchscreen handset dubbed Z10.

The new BlackBerry "will transform mobile communications into true mobile computing," Heins said.
"Today is a brand new day in the history of BlackBerry."

The launch is seen as critical to BlackBerry, which had been the dominant smartphone maker before Apple launched its iPhone and others began using the Google Android operating system but now holds less than five percent of the global market, according to surveys.

While the new system drew some positive reviews, others noted that the smartphone market is a cutthroat competitive space and questioned whether BlackBerry could make a significant dent.

Joshua Topolsky of the blog The Verge said the new Z10 "mimics the iPhone in more than a couple of ways" and described it as "a fine, handsome phone," but it lacked style. "If BlackBerry wants to spark some kind of excitement about its new hardware design, this device won't get the job done," he said.

Cnet reviewer Jessica Dolcourt said the new BlackBerry 10 platform "comes with many of the world-class features you'd demand" along with tools for security and business users.

But she said the new software "is riddled with perplexing omissions and behavioral inefficiencies that wear on you over time."

The new system got, perhaps unsurprisingly, a positive review from Crackberry.com, a website devoted to fans of the firm, and its followers.

"Though BlackBerry 10 has one foot in the past, it reaches out in new directions to finally meet competing platforms head-on," reviewer Simon Sage wrote.

Adam Leach, principal analyst at Ovum, praised the new BlackBerry offering as "a differentiated user experience in today's crowded and homogenous smartphone market" but said the company may have trouble winning back customers and could end up a "niche player."

Tech analyst Jeff Kagan said in a note that he was impressed with the lofty number of applications and the overall impression of the device. But Kagan said it was too soon to say if BlackBerry 10 will emerge as a major competitor to Apple and Google.

"This is the first step in Blackberry's recovery and I think they did a good job so far, but there are still so many more steps," Kagan said. "We'll have to wait and see, but so far, so good."

RIM shares rallied more than 68 percent in between late December and January 25 amid anticipation of the launch. But shares slid 12 percent Wednesday.

The Z10 device will be available as soon as Thursday in some markets, but not until mid-March in the key US market.

Heins told a news conference that the reason for the delay in the US is "a rather lengthy" testing process but noted some carriers are taking pre-orders. Verizon is marketing the phone in the US for $199 with a two-year plan.

The time frame disappointed analysts at Societe Generale, who said the yawning gap between launch-date and US availability "risks dissipating excitement surrounding this launch as the US is a key market for Blackberry."

BlackBerry has traditionally scored best with corporate clients who have been partial to the device's reputation for greater network security.

However, the smartphone market has been changing radically as more companies shift to a "bring your own device," or BYOD, model in which companies let workers choose their smartphone.

BlackBerry aims to target these users with a system that allows for separate spaces on a single device for work and personal data. Such an option means that if a user changes jobs, an employer can disable the device's corporate side without affecting personal data.

Jeff Orr, senior practice director at ABI Research said the split between work and personal space could be a "differentiator" with competitors. "Obviously the proof will be in the implementation," he said.

Other features include the capacity for users to share in real-time screens and complex data from two different locales on a messaging system. The phone also features an efficient writing device in which writers can flick a single character and generate an entire word in English, French, German or other languages. And there is a sophisticated camera system that allows users to tinker with and perfect images.

Heins said the device was geared for "people who are hyper connected socially" and "people who like to get things done."

The new device also starts with some 70,000 applications, including prominent offerings like Amazon's Kindle and LinkedIn.

Besides corporate clients, BlackBerry is targeting creative entrepreneurs and women, especially working mothers who lead a busy life. To that end, the company appointed pop star Alicia Keys as global creative director.

Pirated Software Bring Troops Virus

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:03:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - Buy the DVDs with pirated software? If so, be careful because according to research conducted by Microsoft, most of the DVD has already been infected with malware and viruses.

The study was conducted by a team of Microsoft Security Forensics to 118 samples purchased from sellers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. In particular, the samples were constituted from 66 pirated DVDs and 52 laptop that is installed pirated software.

Pirated software is included here not only the Windows operating system, but it includes software licensed from parties other than Microsoft, like Adobe.

The results of the sample study found that 63 percent of counterfeit DVDs and portable software contains malware infections and viruses at high risk. Of these, 74 percent is in the form of pirated DVDs, while only 48 percent of laptops that contains this malicious program.

In addition, there are about 2,000 known cases of malware infections that occur from the sample.

"Most of the samples were found malicious programs, such as backdoor, hijackers, droppers, bots, cracker, password theft, and Trojan horses," said Reza Topobroto, Director of Legal Affairs, Microsoft Indonesia, when you talk to KompasTekno in Jakarta, Thursday (20/12/2012).

Criminals use malware to invasive illegal activities that generate profit from stealing consumer banking and credit card information.

To prevent this from continuing to happen, Microsoft advises consumers to always use the original software.

"Use the original software and reliable dealers"

Windows 7 vs Windows 8

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:51:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - Windows 7 is Microsoft's operating system has become the most widely used. With the launch of Windows 8 on Friday (10/26/2012), is the dominance of the Windows 7 operating system will come to an end?

How can I get Windows 8 could win from Windows 7? One way that can be used by Microsoft is to "force" Windows 7 users to switch to Windows 8.

For Windows 7 users to switch to Windows 8, Microsoft provides several strategies. One way is to present a set of features that are not owned by Windows 7.

Windows 8 there are hundreds of new features, such as faster time slot air startup (everything about the radio, such as Wi-Fi and 3G off when this mode is used), the copy / move / paste the default second best anti-virus (Windows Defender with all the features of Microsoft Security Essentials), using images as a password, and much more.

Unfortunately, the "Windows XP Mode" in Windows 7 has been removed in Windows 8.

Features of Windows DVD Maker had already disappeared from Windows 8.

To see the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 in terms of features, refer to the table below.

BlackBerry 10 Interested in Android Application?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:46:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - From: * Word Nugraha

Previously, I wrote the things you need to know to application developers on new operating systems that appear in this period (see: what you need to know to create the owner of Tizen, Sailfish, Telephone Ubuntu OS and Firefox).

The first three operating systems (Tizen, Sailfish, Telephone Ubuntu), which is in this article supports porting Android application in their platform. In addition, RIM also quite aggressive hook for Android application developers porting Android apps sent them to their new BlackBerry platform 10.

This, of course, raises the question, why porting applications Android is very popular mobile operating systems again? To answer this question, I have opinions that may explain this.

Chicken and eggs, because

It is a well-known case, the point is whether the chicken or the egg came before the egg so that there is now. This case is similar to the dilemma faced by the new operating system, if you take a lot of users in advance or will take much of the content of the first developer?

If a new mobile phone operating system developers (including the operating system for the smart phone) to attract many users choose in the first place, is likely to be many mobile phone users are reluctant to use due to lack of content.

This is reasonable, because in today's world, mobile users already taking a smart phone has many interesting applications that can use.

If you choose to connect application developers before generating a lot of interesting content in the new mobile operating system, application developers will think twice in applications development.

This is because without a user base that many mobile operating systems, new applications are created by the application developer will most likely not have a lot of users. This means that application developers wasting their resources for an application that might not sell.

Solution porting Android apps

One of the existing solutions to solve the chicken and egg dilemma for developers operating new mobile systems is to woo application developers for porting existing applications published easily. With this, application developers do not need to use much of the resources so that their applications can be used in the new mobile operating system.

Well, one that is very popular platform for about porting Android applications. In non-technical, I think there are several reasons why many new mobile operating system encourages this, namely:
- The number of Android apps has been much if the application is in the Android Market, as well as being released independently.
- Development of Android applications has become a science ubiquitous standard for developers of new mobile applications.
- Memonetasikan Android applications a bit 'difficult because the Android ecosystem is weaker than iOS.

Especially for the reason for the third point, it can be used as a way to promote Android application developers with the promise of a bright future in the new mobile operating system Android, without them they should take the trouble to mem-porting their applications.

Technically, maybe the reason is the system-the new mobile operating system has many similarities in the core of the system with the Android operating system that makes it easier for developers of mobile operating systems provide a method that is easy porting Android applications without compromising performance of the application later.

Well, I think that's why porting Android application is very popular in the new operating systems. But no, that simply providing an easy method of porting to be immediately a lot of application developers that makes the porting of their applications. For the case of RIM, have also the occurrence of events that surround applications porting Android for BlackBerry 10 and provides an incentive substantial funds for them.

Keep in mind, also, that the porting Android apps is one of many solutions to solve the case of the chicken and the egg to the developers of operating systems.

Microsoft Antivirus Failed Tests

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:42:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - Microsoft Security Essentials (MSSE), Microsoft free antivirus, failed to obtain certification from AV-Test, a non-profit organization of German origin in a certain period of time to make judgments / value of antivirus products.

For the record, certified by AV-Test is not really needed in the field. However, the services of AV-Test has been widely established by several institutions as a reference standard anti-virus program in recent years.

Quote from Tech Spot, Tuesday (01/22/2013), MSSE has the worst value for the detection of zero-day among all the antivirus products tested in this period. According to AV-Test, MSSE only last December failed to reach 78 points. While the average value of other products that can be obtained is 92 percent.

In fact, the value is slightly better than the trial in November. At that time, MSSE only able to reach a value of 71 percent.

Furthermore, the MSSE also reached a value lower than the average for most of the types of scenarios discovery and removal of other malicious programs.

In testing for the period of December 2012, Bitdefender Internet Security 2013, Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2013 F-Secure Internet Security 2013 has managed to occupy the top three positions.

Launched in 2009, MSSE was actually the star as it can be used for free, with no ads and no registration required. MSSE also able to beat the other free antivirus dominance, such as Avira, Avast and AVG.

MSSE also managed to get a reputation because of light note, has a simple capacity, and to eliminate the threat of malicious programs. However, the reputation of the latter began to fade. A test is visible from MSSE was able to pass the test by AV-Test.

Samsung VS BlackBerry

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:17:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - In anticipation of the launch of the BlackBerry OS 10 January 30, 2013 later, Samsung issued the attacks tend to make fun of BlackBerry through the actual advertising television commercial to promote the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II.

In this announcement, Samsung emphasizes that the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II also supports business and corporate activities. For this reason, Samsung put the motto "The Next Big Thing for Business is here."

In the announcement said, there is a pioneering company (start-up) who want to make a game called Apocalypse Unicorn. The company no longer has rules that require employees to use a particular brand of cell phone, business leaders allow employees to choose their favorite smart phone.

There are some employees who use BlackBerry, iPhone, Samsung and some are used.

Here, Samsung with images capable of performing business activities, media and entertainment. Implicitly, Samsung wants to give the impression of not only BlackBerry are vital to the business.

Strangely, there was a middle-aged woman wearing a BlackBerry for work and an iPhone for home. It 's very dependent on the "system." There was an employee who advised to use the Galaxy S III only. Then he flatly refused and said: "Respect my system."

These ads also promote safety technology and feature enhancements (SAFE), which allows users to connect a Samsung device to the corporate network and is used as a device to work. This technology was released in June 2012 and Samsung in the United States, while in Europe in November.

RIM BlackBerry Tablet Set 10

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:14:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - BlackBerry 10 OS is known for designed for smart mobile devices only. However, it turns out RIM Research In Motion (RIM) as a developer and manufacturer of BlackBerry 10 operating system is designed for the tablet computer.

This was announced in a press release RIM welcomes the Super Bowl to be held in New York, United States of America, on February 3.

"RIM confirmed that the BlackBerry 10, the latest mobile computing platform that will strengthen the next generation of smartphones and tablets, will be featured in an ad during the Super Bowl XLVII."

With the creation of a tablet BlackBerry 10, which means RIM will face Apple iPad and Android tablets from different manufacturers, such as Samsung, Asus, Sony, for the Chinese producers. However, it is not known when the tablet BlackBerry 10 will be launched on the market.

BlackBerry OS 10 will be released January 30, 2013. The appearance and performance of the BlackBerry 10 significant changes from the previous BlackBerry OS.

RIM BlackBerry 10 states operating system is completely new, not a single line of code is the same as the previous BlackBerry OS.

BlackBerry 10 is built on the basic program (kernel) QNX. The kernel is also used in the automotive industry, nuclear energy, to military aircraft. RIM acquired QNX Software Systems acquired by Harman International Industries Inc. for $ 200 million in 2010.

After the BlackBerry 10 was released in early RIM will sell two models of BlackBerry phones touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard use format. The Canadian company promised to sell 10 BlackBerry phones ranging from cheap to expensive.

Cooler Master Silent Pro PSUs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:00:00 -0800

Introduction

Dukutek.com - Chilly Learn by now showed their particular fresh Muted Master string in CES and also CeBIT, and from now on most of us lastly have the shipment product inside our arms. However, until now not many products can be obtained, and with the particular lawsuit caused simply by Really Merchandise regarding modular power supply patents, Chilly Learn however isn't still capable to advertise this specific string inside You. Ersus. current market. Rumours declare in which the majority of the damaged businesses have began appeal from the patent, they nevertheless anticipate more court rulings within this scenario. Until finally that happens, individuals over in European countries are the merely kinds that could enjoy this fresh product, which often most of us will review currently. (It's relatively fascinating to note in which ahead of we're able to even post this specific review, Chilly Learn wished to talk with their particular appropriate department first; fortunately, most of us made it possible to chat these individuals into making people go forward. ).

If you've followed our PSU reviews over the previous year, you can probably guess the ODM of the Silent Pro from this first image. Enhance has a deserved reputation of building high-end units, and they provide that service for quite a few companies. This time we are greeted by low to medium range 500W and 600W power supplies built by Enhance, and the performance has almost resulted in feelings of ecstasy during testing. The overall look is nice with rubber protection on the back and the front, and a large 140mm fan does the rest. We received both the 500W and 600W models, but we will focus primarily on the 500W unit for testing.

The label shows a single 12V rail with 34A and the 3.3V and 5V rails at 20A. This might seem a little low, but most systems don't need much power from the lower voltage rails anymore.

Cooler Master UCP 900W

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:56:00 -0800

Introduction

Dukutek.com - We've been eagerly awaiting our Cooler Master UCP sample; unfortunately, it was delayed an extra three weeks during shipment by the carrier. We first saw this new series at CeBIT 2008 earlier this year, and other than the name (previously called Ultimate Warranty Protection/UWP) not much has changed. This power supply has some impressive features and specifications, and we were definitely interested in putting it through our test regimen to see how it actually performs.

What's so special about Cooler Master UCP line? A press release points out the fact that they are the first company to receive an 80Plus Silver certification, which certainly generated some media attention. It's not that we've never seen an 88% efficiency power supply before, but the certification "guarantees" this level of performance to end-users. The difference between a regular 80Plus certification and an 80Plus Silver certification isn't all that great either, as it usually means only a few percent better efficiency overall. Even if you run the power supply constantly for years, you might only save $25. Still, it's a nice marketing tool, and there is an assumption that higher efficiency often means better overall quality. That may be true to a certain extent, but let's get to the rest of our testing before we come to any firm conclusions.

The 900W UCP that we received is quite long at 190mm (7.5 inches), with a 120mm fan toward the bottom-front of the casing (assuming a normal mounting position at the top of your computer chassis). Cooler master puts a large label on the top of the power supply, where it will be hidden in most computer cases. The 3.3V and 5V rails are rated at 25A, which is more than sufficient in our opinion. The 12V rails are the more important factor in modern systems, and here Cooler Master provides four 12V rails with different amperages. 12V1 is rated at 25A and is for the CPU, while 12V2 is only 20A and is also for the CPU socket.

The specifications state that the first 12V rail is for the ATX12V connector, but it actually is used for the 24-pin motherboard connector, the ATX12V 4-pin connector, and the various Molex/SATA connectors. The added amperage makes sense in that case, as much of the system will be powered through that rail. The second 12V rail is for the EPS12V 8-pin connector, while the two remaining 12V rails are for the six PEG connectors.

Going back to the main 12V rail, how much power a graphics card draws from the PEG connection and how much it draws from the motherboard x16 slot varies by design, so having so many peripherals dependent on the one 12V rail may not have been the best choice. This is another instance where a single large 12V rail can sometimes be a better solution. Regardless, very few systems will actually come anywhere near maxing out the available power, but if you plan on connecting several hard drives and overclocking a quad-core processor you might run into problems.

The Tegra 4 GPU, NVIDIA Claims Better Performance Than iPad 4

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:51:00 -0800

Dukutek.com- At CES the other day, NVIDIA announced its Tegra four SoC presenting some ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE Cortex A15s managing from as much as 1. 9GHz as well as a sixth Cortex A15 managing from between 800 - 800MHz with regard to lighter in weight workloads. Though most of TOP DOG Jen-Hsun Huang's business presentation dedicated to the particular advancements throughout PC as well as video camera functionality, GPU functionality really should go to a significant improve around Tegra 3.

This huge discouragement for a lot of had been that will NVIDIA looked after the particular non-unified structure involving Tegra 3, as well as won't thoroughly support OpenGL ES 3. 0 while using the T4's GPU. NVIDIA statements the particular structure is more preferable suited to the type of content material which will be on equipment throughout the Tegra 4's leadership.

Rapidly commonalities to be able to Tegra 3, aspects of the particular Tegra four GPU happen to be improved upon. Whilst we live nonetheless somewhat faraway from a great GPU deep-dive within the structure, we complete have an overabundance of particulars as compared to had been originally announced on the push occasion.

Tegra 4 features 72 GPU "cores", which are really individual components of Vec4 ALUs that can work on both scalar and vector operations. Tegra 2 featured a single Vec4 vertex shader unit (4 cores), and a single Vec4 pixel shader unit (4 cores). Tegra 3 doubled up on the pixel shader units (4 + 8 cores). Tegra 4 features six Vec4 vertex units (FP32, 24 cores) and four 3-deep Vec4 pixel units (FP20, 48 cores). The result is 6x the number of ALUs as Tegra 3, all running at a max clock speed that's higher than the 520MHz NVIDIA ran the T3 GPU at. NVIDIA did hint that the pixel shader design was somehow more efficient than what was used in Tegra 3.

If we assume a 520MHz max frequency (where Tegra 3 topped out), a fully featured Tegra 4 GPU can offer more theoretical compute than the PowerVR SGX 554MP4 in Apple's A6X. The advantage comes as a result of a higher clock speed rather than larger die area. This won't necessarily translate into better performance, particularly given Tegra 4's non-unified architecture. NVIDIA claims that at final clocks, it will be faster than the A6X both in 3D games and in GLBenchmark. The leaked GLBenchmark results are apparently from a much older silicon revision running no where near final GPU clocks.

Tegra 4 does offer some additional enhancements over Tegra 3 in the GPU department. Real multisampling AA is finally supported as well as frame buffer compression (color and z). There's now support for 24-bit z and stencil (up from 16 bits per pixel). Max texture resolution is now 4K x 4K, up from 2K x 2K in Tegra 3. Percentage-closer filtering is supported for shadows. Finally, FP16 filter and blend is supported in hardware. ASTC isn't supported.

AMD’s Annual GPU Rebadge: Radeon HD 8000 Series for OEMs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:46:00 -0800

Dukutek.com - In order to mimic your style 12 months characteristics associated with automobiles along with other durable items, recently COMPUTER OEMs have got progressively transferred to be able to upgrading their particular merchandise the two with a technological basis in addition to with a date basis. Certainly while using technological cycles currently being 15-18 months in contrast to the 12 month date never-ending cycle, which means that OEMs in many cases are put into a situation wherever they’re carrying out their particular annual refresh in the center of the technological never-ending cycle, in addition to 2013 isn't different. This particular needless to say allows go up towards the once-a-year rebadge never-ending cycle that people have got examine over the years.

We’ll discover quite a few “new” desktops in addition to laptop computers with CES this season. Although along with rebadging your devices by themselves, your demand to be able to rebadge has become shoved into your part suppliers, so turning these kinds of “new” devices we’ll discover quite a few “new” parts. From the GPU planet the two AMD in addition to NVIDIA help make the once-a-year celebration of this, which usually regarding marketplace causes are estimated at timed to be able to coincide with CES.

Kicking your GPU rebadge never-ending cycle down this season is AMD, exactly who with their mass media convention today additionally shoved out and about their particular rebadges. Let’s hop right into your dense associated with things.

Pc

Because the rebadge never-ending cycle is OEM pushed, rebadging is often concentrated solely about OEM elements, which 12 months isn't exclusion. This Radeon HI-DEF 7000 series isn’t intending anywhere in your retail store marketplace, playing with your OEM marketplace wherever OEMs are demanding elements with higher figures, your entire Radeon household completely is getting rebadged. This implies many techniques from your giant Radeon HI-DEF 7970 GHz Format towards the small (and ancient) Radeon HI-DEF 5450 are receiving 8000 series product designations. AMD for their credit ratings possesses held their particular retail store desktop choice reliable with identifying in addition to capabilities, but while using OEM choice it's long gone absolutely out and about your window.

This OEM 8900 series are rebadges with the 7970GE in addition to 7950 w/Boost respectively. In the meantime the sole 8800 component, your 8870, can be a rebadge with the 7870. Additionally decrease your record your 8700 series consists of the rebadged 7770 in addition to 7750-900 (which certainly not observed an appropriate start outside of China).

Further decrease your choice nonetheless, many of us actually visit a separate via rebadging while using benefits associated with brand new desktop elements. AMD’s not too long ago introduced Oland GPU, which are the past members with the initial creation with the GCN household (and not necessarily members associated with AMD’s forth-coming refresh), will be signing up for AMD’s OEM desktop choice for the reason that 8670 in addition to 8570. Using just 384 SPs these kinds of spending budget GPUs aren't in particular potent, in addition to many of us wouldn’t whatsoever possibly be amazed when these kinds of GPUs certainly not visit your retail store desktop marketplace. The real question right now is wherever these people stack up versus iGPU alternatives such as Trinity’s HD7600 GPUs as well as Intel’s HD4000, as well as NVIDIA’s similarly low-end desktop GK107 playing cards similar to GT 640 in addition to GTX 650.

Last but not least at the bottom associated with AMD’s OEM 8000 series stack are a number of the earliest AMD GPUs nonetheless with generation, in addition to arguably not necessarily GCN elements. This 8400 series can be a rebadge of numerous adjustments with the Radeon HI-DEF 6450 (Caicos GPU, VLIW5). In the meantime your 8300 series can be a rebadge with the early VLIW5 Cedar GPU, initial unveiled truly for the reason that Radeon HI-DEF 5450. Seriously it’s never crystal clear with this era exactly what the intention of these kinds of final rebadges are, since these kinds of playing cards are more slowly when compared to a great iGPU. APAC market segments are a lot more intensely weighted towards spending budget parts than the United states marketplace already is, thus it’s most probably that these playing cards are used to fill APAC-specific product requirements.

Sapphire mITX and a Budget Tahiti GPU

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:42:00 -0800

Dukutek.com- Like images companies, Sapphire didn’t include anything important to be able to broadcast with CES. Their own room seemed to be typically specialized in exposing his or her Mini-ITX Advantage VERSUS cardboard boxes, of released formerly. The newest add-on on the Advantage VERSUS series is the choice for a BUILD-IT-YOURSELF box—you receive the case, motherboard, electrical power and still have to supply the actual PC, RAM MEMORY, and also storage space. It is a good substitute for those that choose to move their own, since pre-configured devices frequently produce component models that let down enthusiasts. Charges should be around $300 to the barebones equipment (don’t quotation me personally about that—it’s basically the estimate), and so which has a reasonable PC, 8GB RAM MEMORY, and also the SSD you’re taking a look at about $600 intended for precisely what could possibly show to be a pleasant little HTPC-type package.

Apart from Advantage, there are a couple interesting GPUs go over. First upward is the minimal report, single-slot HARLEY-DAVIDSON 7750 offering, which often is just about the fastest GPU you’re more likely to uncover with retail store in the minimal report style. What’s much more, Sapphire even now provides to be able to drive as much as 5 exhibits: a couple of in the Mini-DisplayPort, a single mini-HDMI, and also a couple of in the DL-DVI connection. It’s typically directed at electronic digital signage, nevertheless I’m certain at least several of your followers could find various other interesting makes use of correctly.

Additional GPU is in the bigger end with the variety: any cut-down Tahiti offering along with 1536 cores. Full Tahiti in the HARLEY-DAVIDSON 7970 features 2048 cores with 1GHz (or 950MHz in the initial release); the actual clipped solution in the 7950 fits 1792 cores with the 800MHz time clock, and also Sapphire’s offering could have 1536 cores clocked with 925MHz (975MHz Boost); Sapphire in addition pieces the actual shuttle into 256-bit, even though which will be fine for a lower collection part.

Therefore what’s the actual label with the part? The particular HARLEY-DAVIDSON 7930 would likely capitalize on impression, nevertheless evidently AMD isn’t playing that video game and it is needing the actual part to become marketed as being a 7800 series cards. Sapphire telephone calls his or her cards the actual HARLEY-DAVIDSON 7870 XT, nevertheless it’s crucial to be aware that this can be even now a complete Tahiti GPU inside the areas plus it ought to easily outperform the actual HARLEY-DAVIDSON 7800 Pitcairn choices (which utmost available with 1280 cores clocked with as much as 1000MHz stock). Charges ought to slip about concerning the actual 7870 plus the 7950, and so it’s an additional choice to the sub-$300 marketplace.

DigitalSSD SMART & BP3 mSATA SSD

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:37:00 -0800

DigitalSSD Introduction

Dukutek.com - The consumer SSD market is quite similar to the DRAM market. There are only a handful of NAND manufacturers (most of which make DRAM as well) but there are dozens, if not hundreds of SSD OEMs. Compared to DRAM there are obviously more components involved because on top of the NAND you'll also need a controller and possibly DRAM as well. Thanks to Marvell, Phison and especially SandForce you don't need a huge team of engineers to make an SSD because you can buy and license everything from third parties. Even manufacturing can be outsourced so basically what you're left with is distribution and marketing. That, of course, is if you choose the easiest route, which isn't necessarily the ideal option because there are already plenty of other companies using the exact same strategy.

MyDigitalSSD is one of the not-so-well-known SSD companies. They don't have a presence on NewEgg or many of the other major online stores, though you can find some of their products at Amazon. Since MyDigitalSSD doesn't have the resources it takes to build their own controller or firmware, they are left with using commercial controllers, SandForce and Phison in this case. Unlike many other SSD OEMs, MyDigitalSSD's aim is to provide something for everyone.

Typically SSD OEMs, regardless of how big they are, only offer a few products that are almost without exception 2.5" SATA drives. MyDigitalSSD's approach is totally different as they offer SSDs ranging from standard 2.5" SATA drives to PATA SSDs and half-slim SATA SSDs. We don't often see such form factors used but there are laptops that rely on some of these uncommon SSD solutions. Of course if you're buying in volumes big enough (like Apple), then anyone will build you whatever you like; that makes finding upgrade parts difficult, so MyDigitalSSD is specifically targeting that market.

MyDigitalSSD sent us their 256GB SATA 6Gbps mSATA SSDs in for reviewing. Complete specifications are in the table below:

	SMART	BP3
Capacities (GB)	64, 128, 256	32, 64, 128, 256
NAND	25nm synchronous MLC (IMFT?)	24nm Toshiba Toggle-Mode MLC
Controller	SandForce SF-2281	Phison PS3108-S8
Sequential Read	550MB/s	560MB/s
Sequential Write	530MB/s	470MB/s
4KB Random Read	35K IOPS	30K IOPS
4KB Random Write	86K IOPS	45K IOPS

MyDigitalSSD's SMART SSD is a standard SF-2281 based mSATA SSD and there are other OEMs such as Mushkin and ADATA offering similar products. What is more interesting (at least from a novelty standpoint) is the BP3 ("Bullet Proof 3"). It uses a new SATA 6Gbps controller from Phison, a company that's more known for their USB flash stick controllers. Our first encounter with Phison was with Crucial's v4 SSD, which wasn't very pleasant as the v4 was one of the slowest SSDs we have reviewed in years. As far as the specs go, the PS3108 seems to provide a much needed improvement to the random IO performance segment; we'll see how the PS3108 holds out in real world in just a second.

There aren't all that many commercially available mSATA SSDs because most are sold directly to OEMs, so most SSD manufacturers have chosen not to have a retail mSATA SSD lineup. MyDigitalSSD doesn't have presence at NewEgg or other major online resellers, but they do have their own store called MyDigitalDiscount which is also at Amazon. I took MyDigitalSSD prices from MyDigitalDiscount whereas the rest are from NewEgg:

Price Comparison (1/21/2013)
Capacity	60/64GB	120/128GB	240/256GB
MyDigitalSSD BP3	$65	$100	$180
MyDigitalSSD SMART	$85	$140	$270
Crucial M4 mSATA	$70	$115	$185
Mushkin Atlas	$95	$110	$210
ADATA XPG SX300	$80	$125	$260

In terms of pricing, the BP3 is very appealing. It's easily the cheapest mSATA SSD that I could find and by a fairly large margin. The SMART, on the other hand, is one of the most expensive mSATA SSDs so MyDigitalSSD is clearly trying to position the BP3 at the low-end while offering the SMART for the high-end.
