Intel provides with three graphics levels: GT1, GT2 and GT3. Desktop processors won’t receive graphics performance higher than GT2, but mobile processors will be able to boast of with GT3 class. Support of PCI Express 3.0 for Haswell processors will be quite usual characteristics, but at the memory controller little progress is seen — yet provides dual-channel DDR3-1600.



By energy consumption Haswell desktop versions will be divided into models with values of 35, 45, 65 and 95 watts of TDP level. For mobile processors the values are ​​37, 47 and 57 W. Finally, ultra book processors with built-in system logic will be filled by TDP level not more than 15 watts. It is assumed that this will enable them, among other things, be in standby mode up to 10 days without charge.


The desire of Intel to compete with AMD in terms of performance integrated in graphics processor, will add some work to companies producing cooling systems for laptops. The developers report about …

Several days ago Nvidia has introduced its most effective consumer graphics card, namely GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. It is GP102 GPU based and holds 3,584 CUDAs. This device resembles the Titan X sample. Its graphics engine is the same, however, the number of ROP units (96) is higher, the memory bus (384 bits) is wider, the memory volume (12 GB) is bigger, frequencies are higher, and the price is much lower!



As it turned out, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is produced with a PC-board of its high-end counterpart, but there are differences in electronic components. Thus, the power subsystem has been refined due to the duplicated quantity of MOSFET transistors. Now it is possible to overclock the adapter to higher frequencies. GTX 1080 Ti has got nine extra solid capacitors. The absence of a DVI port provides more vents on the back panel.


In general, for public users this product almost copies the more expensive Titan X model and at the same time can be more productive in games.

The Taiwan Enermax Company has launched a tradition to produce illuminated products and it goes to keep to it this year.



One of such novelties is the Mid-Tower Saberay PC case, the name of which is associated with its exterior, featuring two bright lines, stretching from the upper and back panels junction to the lower part of the front side, grid segments on the front and upper panels, as well as a big tempered glass window on the left side. It provides a possibility to observe the glaring backlighting of inner parts.


Inner part is divided into two sectors. According to forward estimates it is going to hold 6 fans. The framework offers mounting seats for ATX, Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboards, seven PCI Express expansion cards, several 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, one 5.25-inch device and an ATX-compatible power supply unit. For the purpose of cooling inner components 120–360 mm liquid-cooling system heatsinks can be utilized.


The interface is represented by two …
