The stonewall in the tablet and mobile CPU segment is gradually mounting, with Intel and Nvidia increasing their influence and rivalry. Hence, Intel's developers claim that its latest tablet processor, two-core Atom Clover Trail, surpasses Nvidia's Tegra 3 in both performance and power consumption. To be precise, Clover Trail proves to be more efficient in a range of applications, but at the same time, it consumes power twice less than its counterpart. To exemplify such claims, Intel takes Imagination Technologies graphics that consumes less power than Tegra 3.



Numerous testing results conducted by Intel and some leading IT analysts demonstrate that Tegra 3 with four main cores and one additional core is slower that Clover Trail. Testing of performance and power consumption has been held on Microsoft Surface RT with Tegra 3 chip and Windows 8 tablet with Clover Trail chip. Nevertheless, Intel hasn't conducted any comparison in mobile OS from Google.

The Apacer has introduced its latest RAM memory sets, which replenished the Commando DDR4 series, aimed at assembling gaming desktop computers. It’s worth remembering, that at present the Commando DDR4 line includes devices with the 2,400, 2,666 and 2,800 MHz frequencies, operating at 1.2 V. Besides, the vendor has demonstrated the solutions featuring the 3,000 and 3,200 MHz frequencies and the 1.35 V voltage.

 

The kits presented got the following names: DDR4-3600 and DDR4-3466. The first variant has the 17-19-19-39 timings, the second — 16-18-18-36. Voltage supply claimed is 1.35 V. All in all, the kit consists of two modules of 8 GB capacity. Therefore, the total volume reaches 16 GB. These devices support the XMP 2.0 technology, and due to this fact overclock becomes easier. The highlight of Commando DDR4 modules is their extraordinary radiator cooling system, performed in the style of Heckler & Koch G36c assault …

The GIGABYTE Co. presents the latest version of the GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G graphics accelerator, which got the GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD rev2 reference designation.



The novelty is based on the 16 nm NVIDIA GP104 chipset with the Pascal architecture. This GIGABYTE product features 1,920 streaming processors, 120 texture units and 64 ROPs. The chipset supports 8 GB of the GDDR5 memory with the 256-bit bus and the 8,008 MHz frequency. Two operation modes are available, they are Gaming Mode and OC Mode. In the first case the base clock is 1,594 MHz, and the boost clock equals 1,784 MHz. In the OC Mode these values correspond to 1,620 MHz and 1,822 MHz.


The accelerator card is supplied with the RGB Fusion backlighting, offering various effects and the possibility to choose among 16.8 mln of shades. There is a backplate at the rear. The video card is chilled by the highly productive WindForce 3X cooling system with heat pipes and three fans, which break off work at little …
