AMD is continuing its work on the new GPU generation codenamed ‘Sea Islands’. The new series is prognosticated to be released in the coming winter. All the products with this GPU will be branded Radeon 8000. AMD manufacturers claim that their new graphic processing units will be 40% more efficient due to the implemented advanced technologies. There is not so much news about the future GPU architecture, although cardinal changes are barely possible.



Sea Islands chips will be equipped with 5.1 billion transistors as compared with the current 4.3 billion items applied in the products. This augmentation will facilitate the increment of efficiency. The chips will be developed according to the already tried-and-proven 28 nm technological requirements. The increase of transistors is not as large due to the adherence to the ascribed norms. It should be underlined that the implementation of the old technologies does not imply the considerable warming up of the chips; the developments …

Biostar company announces the release of a new motherboard H61MU3B – a high-end tool for the creation of compact multimedia platforms with the universal set of up-to-date interfaces. According to the words of the company’s representatives, H61MU3B is able to support the majority of Biostar functional capabilities, including Remote 2, Bio-Flasher and Bio-ReLife, Driver-Genii technologies, as well as BioScreen Utility applet. Remote 2 technology is used to manage the multimedia system with the help of Apple and Android gadgets; Bio-Flasher and Bio-ReLife technologies are used to update and reclaim Bios functional from the external USB drives; Driver Genii is used to install all necessary drivers automatically. BioScreen Utility applet enables the choice of download logo and is equipped with eHot-Line service which secures the efficient technical support.



Motherboard Biostar H61MU3B has got an enhanced framework and design. Thus, motherboard framework is furnished with the …

Heightened demand for high-end processor solutions and ever rising competition make AMD constantly develop its products. This usually results in the release of really outstanding items, such as already acknowledged Bulldozer and Piledriver. Therefore, according to the words of the companies technical manager, Mark Papermaster, the development of a new processor architecture, codenamed Steamroller, is already on order of AMD's business. The ready-made products are sure to be released next year. Steamroller is called to become the third edition of Bulldozer architecture that launched last year and a loyal companion of Piledriver core.



The initial data witness that processors on Steamroller architecture will be designed in correspondence with 28 nm technological process. This should favorably affect their efficiency and enlarge the performance by 15-20% at equivalent power consumption and clock frequency. At the same time, Steamroller will improve all specifications implemented in …
