Lexar Media, a well-known American designer of diverse digital media products, starts selling its new RAM series from Ballistix line. Entitled Sport SODIMM, the series is introduced by four SODIMM-DDR3 modules, intended for the incorporation into gaming laptops: BLS4G3N169ES4, BLS8G3N169ES4, BLS4G3N18AES4, and BLS8G3N18AES4. The quadruple is distinguished by an original design with the implementation of unique heatspreaders. All of them are optimized for Intel Core i5/i7 mobile processors of the fourth generation (Intel Haswell platform) and support all up-dated XMP profiles.


The most beneficial feature applied to Ballistix Sport SODIMM modules is their power-saving nature. They are able to operate at 10% lower power voltage than analogous products; hence, they reduce the laptop’s power consumption index and increase the time of its offline work.


To continue, the first two models, BLS4G3N169ES4 and BLS8G3N169ES4, come in 4 GB and 8 GB capacities correspondingly. They …

Introduction

Water cooling systems have always attracted the attention of enthusiasts and fans of developing their "hardware". But not a small price for a full-fledged liquid CPU cooler frightens many customers off, and maintenance-free systems which are available on the market were inferior in efficiency to eminent super coolers, while significantly exceeding them in price.

At present Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Accelerators are available not only with the air cooling but also with liquid cooling systems.



Differences between these two versions are not great. In addition to the higher capacity limit (375 W vs 300 W), the Liquid Cooled adapter will most likely stay on high core frequency (1,600 MHz) more effectively and produce less noise. The circuit design of both versions cards is identical. The accelerators operate 4,096 5th generation GCN streaming processors, 2,048-bit memory bus, as well as 16 GB HBM2 VRAM with the 483 GB/s throughput rate. For the steady devices operation two 8-pin PCI-E Power cables are to be connected. An HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4 ports ensure image output. Extra protection is supplied by a backplate.


The novelty obtained the $1,489.99 price, which is a bit lower, than recommended $1,499. Simultaneously several resources report that west-european stores accept preorders for Radeon Vega Frontier Edition with …
