amd is a RYZEN desktop processor

2017-02-24T23:49:00.000+10:00

AMD may have started teasing its long-awaited next generation Ryzen desktop processor australia family a while ago, but as we approach the company’s official shipping launch of the product, mainstream web media publications and user discussion threads have been buzzing with the almost deafening clear-channel sounds of excitement, rumor, chatter and information leaks. In fact, in all my years of coverage and analysis of the computing and semiconductor industries, this has to be one of the most highly anticipated product launches I have been witness to or a part of – and for good reason.

Like it or not, Intel’s dominance in desktop and notebook processors and platforms has been so lopsided and prominent for so long that the market has been quite literally thirsting for a stronger alternative for over a decade now, pretty much since the Intel’s Core 2 architecture hit in 2006. That’s what you call an “eternity” in technology years. AMD’s Ryzen architecture is widely expected to return the company to much more equal footing versus Intel in all major areas of computing, from the data center, to the desktop and notebooks, so it’s no wonder the Internet is hyped-out on overdrive with the official launch that is rumored to hit on the 28^th of this month.

Zenbook 3 ultrabook perfection

ZenBook 3’s design took some serious engineering prowess and craftsmanship to realize. The ultra-thin 11.9mm profile meant we had to invent the world’s most compact laptop hinge — just 3mm high — to preserve its sleek lines. To fit in the full-size keyboard, we had to create a surround that’s just 2.1mm wide at the edges, and we designed the powerful four-speaker audio system in partnership with audiophile specialists Harman Kardon. ZenBook is renowned for its unique, stunning looks, and you’ll instantly recognize the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on ZenBook 3’s all-metal unibody enclosure — a finish that takes 40 painstaking steps to create. But we’ve added a beautiful twist, using a special 2-phase anodizing process to create stunning golden edge highlights. To complete this sophisticated new theme, we’ve added a unique gold ASUS logo and given the keyboard a matching gold backlight for LAPTOPS ONLINE AUSTRALIA

Our engineers had an almost impossible task when choosing the components for ZenBook 3. Their belief was to create an ultra-thin laptop with unprecedented performance, and despite some tough challenges, they’ve succeeded. The result is an unbelievably powerful laptop, with the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor, up to 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM, an ultra-fast up to 1TB PCIe® Gen 3 SSD and the latest USB-C port that support display. So there’s no need to worry about what you can or can’t do with ZenBook 3 — it’s practically unstoppable.

First you need to know what Skylake is. Intel’s 6th-generation CPU, Skylake Desktop Processor brings DDR4 top end memory to the mainstream as well as improved overclocking features, better integrated graphics performance, and a new chipset.First you need to know what Skylake is. Intel’s 6th-generation CPU, Skylake brings DDR4 memory to the mainstream as well as improved overclocking features, better integrated graphics performance, and a new chipset.

Skylake is not backward compatible

The most in-your-face change is the new socket that’s incompatible with today’s CPUs. That means you won’t drop a Skylake CPU into your Haswell motherboard, and you won’t be dropping your Haswell processor into a Skylake Intel motherboard. Before you start groaning that Intel is playing the forced-obsolescence card, you should remember that Skylake introduces DDR4 to the mainstream. While it might feasible to design a motherboard that will work with both, making a cleaner break is usually the better choice to reduce confusion. Skylake does actually support DDR3L RAM, but that’s for servers and laptops. The DDR3 in most people’s desktop systems won’t work with it. You just need to come to grips with that: If you decide to build a new Skylake desktop, you will need to buy new RAM, too. intel skylake processor For those who always felt the 32GB of maximum desktop memory in the mainstream Haswell-based desktops was a limitation, Skylake’s use of DDR4 means you can get 64GB of RAM into your rig without having to step up to a pricier Haswell-E system.

How well does it Overclock?

You can basically expect to hit 4.6GHz to 4.7GHz with a retail Core i7-6700K chip, the company says. The absolute best samples will push 4.8GHz. That’s actually a slight improvement over Haswell, which topped out at 4.5GHz on liquid cooling for most. Higher usable overclocks were few and far between, and many had worse overclocking experiences with Haswell, so Skylake is indeed an improvement depending how you wish to travel.

Skylakes Saviour is the Z170 Chipset

The real star of the show here is the Intel Z170 chipset. The Intel Z170 is probably just as important for what it finally fixes in the limitations of the chipset it replaces. Like Haswell, Skylake features just 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes in the CPU. Any additional PCIe lanes come from the chipset. In Haswell’s Z87 and Z97 chipset, the limit was just 8 PCIe Gen 2 lanes, which hadn’t changed since 2011’s Sandy Bridge chipset. In 2011 that was probably fine, but today, that’s not enough expansion for modern PCs with fast M.2 drives, SATA Express drives, and USB 3.1. Even worse, to get more bandwidth to run high speed devices such as, say Intel’s 750-series SSD, you had to steal bandwidth from the GPU. With Z170, Intel is finally, finally stepping up and giving the chipset up to 20 PCIe Gen 3 lanes. Intel is also doubling the interconnect from the CPU to the chipset. The new DMI 3.0 in Z170 offers up to 40Gbps using a x4 PCIe Gen 3 link. The Z97 used a 20Gbps x4 link PCIe Gen 2 link.

The biggest iPad the Apple iPad Pro

2015-11-12T11:37:00.000+10:00

The iPad Pro sports an enormous 12.9" 4:3 display with a 2732x2048 resolution. You may have noticed that the smaller axis has the same resolution as the large axis of the other iPads. This is so the iPad Pro can take advantage of iOS 9's multitasking features in order to show a full size iPad app with a slightly condensed iPad app on the side. A resolution of 2732x2048 is also impressive when you consider that it has a greater number of pixels than the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

6.9mm thick
A9X Apple Processor
2x the memory bandwidth
iOS 9
resolution of 2732x2048

Beyond the resolution, the iPad Pro's display uses the same photo alignment tech as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus to achieve greater contrast. It's also uses an IGZO backplane which is necessary to reduce power consumption. Both the iPad Pro and the iPad Mini 4 have the anti-reflective coating that the iPad Air 2 uses, and both also have have a laminated display. Apple is also employing the use of an adaptive refresh rate to reduce display power usage when displaying static content. This hasn't been elaborated on very well, and it's not clear whether or not there's also panel self refresh support.

Of course, having a giant display isn't free. You naturally need to enlarge the size of the chassis, and pack in a larger battery to power it. The iPad Pro isn't very thick at 6.9mm, but it's quite hefty with a mass of 713 grams for the WiFi model and 723 grams for the LTE model. With a large chassis Apple was also able to make room for additional speakers. There are two pairs of stereo speakers on the top and bottom of the tablet, with the top speakers being dedicated to producing higher frequencies. The software can also detect based on your orientation which speakers are most likely to be covered, and can intelligently switch to using the correct two to product unmuffled audio.

Inside the iPad Air 2 is Apple's most powerful chip to date, the A9X. According to Apple A9X is 1.8x faster than A8X at CPU tasks, and 2x faster at GPU tasks. Given that A8X was already the fastest ARM SoC in a mobile device this is quite an accomplishment, and is likely the result of architectural improvements, higher clock speeds, and possibly the addition of a fourth CPU core. We'll have to wait until we get our hands on the iPad Pro before any of this can be confirmed though. Apple also noted that A9X is built on a new "transistor architecture" which means it's being fabricated on either Samsung's 14nm or TSMC's 16nm FinFet process.

Apple also noted that A9X sports 2x the memory bandwidth and 2x the storage performance of A8X. It's not clear what changes have been made to the flash storage, but it's reasonable to assume that the increase in memory bandwidth comes from a move to LPDRR4 memory.

New Lenovo P Series Workstation

2015-10-19T17:52:00.001+10:00

Engineers, architects, professional animators and other demanding professionals will soon have a powerful new option for taking their work on the road. Today, Lenovo announced its new ThinkPad P Series line of workstation-class CAD laptops, which come with a variety of high-end options, including Intel's new mobile Xeon processors and 4K displays. Replacing the company's ThinkPad W line, the 15-inch P50 will start at $1,599 and the 17-inch P70 will start at $1,999 when the systems go on sale this fall. The P series notebooks will also include a new fingerprint reader that you activate with a touch instead of a swipe.

CAD Workstation with New Skylake Xeon Server Processors

The new ThinkPad P series has two models: the 15-inch ThinkPad 50 and the 17-inch ThinkPad P70. Designed for the most demanding applications, both notebooks come with a choice of either an Intel Xeon E3-1500M processor or a Sixth Generation Core Series (Core i5 or Core i7) CPU. The P50 and P70 will be among the first notebooks to offer Intel Xeon CPUs, the chipmaker's line of workstation and server class processors, which have only been available in desktops up until now.

Better workstation navigation when working with intensive graphics

Catering to the CAD users and 3D animators who make up much of the P series intended market, Lenovo has replaced the buttonless clickpad on the prior-gen W541 / W550s with a 3-button touchpad. In our experience, dedicated touchpad buttons provide a more accurate navigation experience on any CAD notebook, because the pad cannot confuse a swipe with a click. Even better, in many graphics programs, the middle button enables pan or zoom functionality. Intel announced that it was coming out with mobile Xeon processors, but the company has yet to offer any specs or expected performance numbers. However, if the mobile Xeon is like its desktop cousins, it will offer better stability than Core i5 / i7 by supporting ECC error-correcting RAM and speedier overall performance, thanks partly to a large L3 cache.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus dazzle but missing some bling options

2015-09-15T10:48:00.000+10:00

All in all Apple announced their refresh of the iPhone 6 lineup, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. For those that are unfamiliar with Apple’s “s” refreshes, these are years in which the iPhone doesn’t receive a visual design update but a number of internal aspects are significantly revised and updated. In the case of the iPhone 6s, this includes changes to display, SoC, new cameras, wireless connectivity, TouchID, and front-facing flash. I’ve summarized these changes in the table below.

12.1 MP Camera
4.7 and 5.5 inch screen
Touch id
Force Touch technology
Dynamic Wallpaper
Live Photos

While the display glass is still glass, Apple is claiming the strength of this cover glass is greatly improved from the iPhone 6. The aluminum of the back cover has also been strengthened, with the iPhone 6s using a custom 700 series aluminum alloy to improve strength.

3D Touch to the front and in your face

On the display side of things Apple has added a precise force sensing layer to the display module which allows for a whole range of new interactions with the smartphone. This force sensing technology is called 3D Touch by Apple, to differentiate from Force Touch on Apple Watch which is basically just a single force sensor to allow for a single force gesture within a context. The addition of a taptic engine helps to enable strong and useful haptic feedback when using 3D Touch gestures. While not part of the display, TouchID has also improved to enable much faster unlock speed.

4K video recording support with 12.1MP Camera

The new camera is also part of the major announcement this time around as the iPhone 6s now has a higher resolution to support 4K video recording. This new camera is 12MP, with 1.22 micron pixel size which means that sensor size is effectively identical to the iPhone 6 and 5s at 1/3”. Technologies like deep trench isolation and modified color filter array are said to help with low light performance. Deep trench isolation has been seen before in camera sensors like the One M7 ST-Micro Cinesensor/Ultrapixel sensor, and Samsung’s ISOCELL sensors, which is likely needed in order to drive these smaller pixel sizes.
The camera will also have Live Photos, which captures a photo that is a short moment in time with sound, which could also be said to be a video. If this sounds a lot like HTC’s Zoe feature, it’s probably because it definitely shares some similarities in that regard. However, as far as I can tell unlike HTC’s implementation Live Photos is mostly seamless and only shows animation when you do a force touch or if you’re swiping from one photo to another in the gallery.

Better Wireless Mobile Connectivity to the front

On the wireless side, the iPhone 6s brings LTE-A with speeds of up to 300 Mbps. The modem design win wasn’t disclosed, but it’s probable that Qualcomm’s Gobi modems are in at least some iPhone 6s variants. Apple did disclose that the iPhone 6s can support up to 23 LTE bands, which makes the iPhone 6s one of the closest phones to single global SKU on the market today.
WiFi is also improved with two spatial streams for up to 866 Mbps on 5 GHz 802.11ac. The two antennas are likely to be integrated into the top and bottom metal sections of the phone, which likely means that peak WiFi performance will have to be achieved by not touching either section. Of course, this isn’t going to be another antennagate though because it’s likely that all RF that relies on the lower antenna to work will also have an antenna tuner to reduce detuning effects.

The only really disappointing part is the lack of the new wireless charging medium available on the new Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge Plus.

M.2 fast SSD on PCIe interface the future of ssd Storage

2015-08-24T13:49:00.000+10:00

For Small Blazing Predictable Performance

With today's devices getting smaller and thinner, M.2 NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) solid state drives are popping up in more and more notebooks/mobile PCs but are not to be confused with mSATA drives. M.2 NGFF SSDs are smaller, thinner, and have a different connection than mSATA drives but offer similar high-speed performance and low power consumption to extend the battery life in most mobile devices. They can be used as either a cache drive, working in tandem with a HDD, or a boot/system drive when running an operating system, programs, and apps.

Exciting and Smaller Interfaces and sizes

There are two types of M.2 NGFF SSDs, SATA and PCI-e, offered in 30mm, 42mm, 60mm, 80mm, and 110mm sizes with all the major brands rushing to have ssds and motherboards at the ready the are getting smaller and hopefully the upgrades will as well.

How to tell interface differences and styles

Regarding how to tell the difference between an M.2 SATA and M.2 PCIe drive, it all depends on the number of notches (keys) on the end of the drive (the end with the connector which goes into the M.2 socket).SSD Drives with a single notch have a single 'M' key and are PCIe based, currently either x2 or x4 PCIe (like the Kingston HyperX Predator). Drives with two notches have an 'M' key and a 'B' key and are SATA based (like the Intel 530 series).The other thing to be concerned about is the length of the drive, as not all are created equal. The Intel 530 is a '2242' drive, so it's 22mm wide, and 42mm long. That's the maximum length that M.2 mobos like the ASUS maximum extreme can handle, and it fits a lot of laptops. Longer drives with a '2280' format are 80mm long and wont fit some boards with an M.2 slot and other notebooks with a short bay, so it's always worth checking the length of your existing drive, (and drive bay) before going for an upgrade!some m.2 SSD are sold with their own adapter PCIe cards and brackets for ease of installation.

Gaming at the Maximum with MSI

2015-06-19T22:50:00.000+10:00

Game like God GT 80 from MSI

Gamers have long known that even the best keyboard on a gaming laptop will never equal a bona fide mechanical keyboard. But this was a necessary tradeoff in the name of portability. No longer. MSI is ushering in a new era with the GT80 Titan SLI ($5,299 starting price), one of the first gaming laptops to feature a mechanical keyboard. Throw in a powerful Core i7 processor, a pair of Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPUs in SLI and the ability to upgrade later, and you've got the desktop replacement that gamers deserve. The laptop's black brushed-aluminum lid is extremely elegant. I love the pair of bright red chrome darts that play up car hood comparisons. The red backlit Gaming Series emblem and MSI logo also add a nice touch of understated bling. When I opened the laptop, I was greeted by a red, backlit mechanical keyboard guarded by a majestic dragon. The keyboard occupies the space where one would usually find the palm rest, leaving a seemingly empty aluminum panel on top. A glowing red LED strip separates the keyboard from the top portion of the deck. Buttons for power, GPU and fan speed sit directly above the digital trackpad, which has been shifted to the right of the keyboard. The Titan's rear and undercarriage are constructed from black magnesium alloy. The vents, designed to look like the rear end of a powerful muscle car, gave me visions of racing on a closed track at breakneck speed.

MSI GT80 gaming laptop equipped its massive, 18.4-inch beast with not one, but two Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPUs in SLI configuration, with 16GB of VRAM between them. Linking the two cards together into a single output raises the processing power of the cards to absurd levels. That means you can run nearly any game on Ultra settings, and the Titan won't flinch.

Ports and fast USB3.0

You'll find a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the right side of the GT80, with another three on the left. The laptop also has a tray-loading Blu-Ray burner, a 3-in-1 card reader, S/PDIF, jacks for a mic and a headphone, and a security lock slot.

Gaming all in one Style is here

It's funny: All-in-one PCs are often considered "family computers." There are a lot of folks out there who assume that these touch-friendly machines are meant to stay in the living room or den and are solely used for homework, web browsing and, every once in a blue moon, streaming movies. Spend 10 minutes with the MSI AG240, and you'll throw that "family friendly" monicker out the window. Don't let the all-in-one form factor fool you, this is a gaming PC. And sure, it can be used for that other productivity stuff too, but there's an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics chip, 16GB of memory and a 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor inside that are begging to play BioShock Infinite and Assassin's Creed on their highest settings. If that doesn't cement the idea that this is a gaming rig, MSI will give you six months of one of the best game-streaming services available, XSplit, for free – just as long as you don't get turned off by the anti-flicker, but-awfully-glare-laden, screen first.

Design an ultrabook struggles to match

Packed into an impressively slim 23 x 1 x 17-inch (W x D x H) box, the AG240 is the definition of lean. From bottom to top, the black, brushed-aluminum base meets a red metallic shell that houses two 5W Creative Sound Blaster speakers right before reaching the 2-inch-thick glass frame. This brings us to the 23.6-inch non-glare, anti-flicker touchscreen that supports full 1080p (1920x1080) resolution. Anti-flicker, for those who are new to screen terminology, allows users to snap high-def photos of the screen without a purple-hued splotch in the picture. That's not the only trick up this screen's sleeve, though.

Day-to-day performance was more than adequate. I often could have multiple browser windows open, Spotify streaming in the background, a chat client open and my word processor sitting idly in the background without a hint of slowdown. But this level of performance should be a given in an all-in-one costing around $1,700, right? That's why we put it to the test in last year's biggest and best games like BioShock Infinite and Metro: Last Light. While the AG240 couldn't quite trudge through Last Light on ultra settings, it made short work of the game on low settings and deftly handled intense combat scenes in the latest BioShock.
