The Asus Co. was the first to introduce its own Radeon RX Vega 64 video card versions, while other vendors have only announced the master versions release. Asus has already announced two Asus ROG Strix series products – ROG Strix RX Vega 64 OC and ROG Strix RX Vega 64, differing in operating frequencies.



The graphics card is performed on the individual Asus design PC-board with enhanced power subsystem, more than 10 phases and two 8-pin power connectors. One can also use benefits of the DVI-D video output. The clock rate and the memory frequency remain unveiled yet.


ROG Strix RX Vega 64 products, like other last year Asus GPUs, obtained high-end cooling systems, featuring at least six heat pipes going through two big aluminium heatsinks and three fans. There is a reinforcement plate on the back side of the PCB.


ROG Strix RX Vega 64 OC and ROG Strix RX Vega 64 are to hit the shelves in the first half of September. Asus also plans to release Radeon RX Vega novelties …

Intel Corporation has the intentions to introduce DDR4 memory into their server processors of Haswell series. The launch of such technological approach is planned for the 2014, however the developments in this sphere have already started. Intel’s server solutions will become a part of Grantley platform and the samples of their new series will allegedly be announced next autumn. The preview of new processors makes it clear that some of the chips will be distinguished by the increased heat generation performance which will reach 160 W.



Hence, 16-core processors Haswell-EP will rival parallel computing accelerator NVIDIA Tesla but not AMD server solutions. Intel is going to provide various working frequency options and options with different number of active cores. At the same time, TDP will fluctuate within ranges of 160, 145, 135, and 120 W. In its turn, accelerator NVIDIA Tesla, which is based on GK110 processor, consumes approximately 300 W.


In accordance with the …
