02/27/2013 - 22:42

  A few days back AMD released one of their latest FIREPRO workstation graphics cards.  For most users out there this will be received with a bit of a shrug.  This release is a bit different though, and it reflects a change in direction in...

NVIDIA Details Tegra 4 and Tegra 4i Graphics

02/25/2013 - 21:01

  When Tegra 4 was introduced at CES there was precious little information about the setup of the integrated GPU.  We all knew that it would be a much more powerful GPU, but we were not entirely sure how it was set up.  Now NVIDIA has...

02/15/2013 - 13:26

  FM2 poses an interesting quandary for motherboard manufacturers.  AMD provides a very robust and full featured chip for use with their processors (A85X) that would lend itself well to midrange and enthusiast class motherboards. ...

Power and Overclocking

02/13/2013 - 23:03

  The use of the pricier IR units on the power delivery system should give Gigabyte an advantage when it comes to power usage.  Power was measured from the wall for the PC power supply.  Power from peripherals is not measured.  The PC...

Results: Cinebench R11.529

02/13/2013 - 23:02

  This is a very CPU and memory intensive application, so it should theoretically show any minor differences between the two boards. [inline:files/review/2013-02-13/cinebench11-multi.png] Yeah, pretty boring results.  They perform neck and neck...

Results: 3D Mark Vantage

02/13/2013 - 23:01

  Vantage supports a maximum of DX10 rendering, but the workload is very appropriate for this particular APU.  The Performance preset was used in testing. [inline:files/review/2013-02-13/3dmv-p.png] [inline:files/review/2013-02-13/3dmv-gpu.png...

Results: HD Tach HD and USB 3.0

02/13/2013 - 23:00

  HD Tach Hard Drive HD Tach is getting a bit old and is no longer updated, but it is still a fairly consistent benchmark for this type of testing.  A non-system 1TB drive was used for this testing. [inline:files/review/2013-02-13/hdtach1.png...

Results: SiSoft Sandra 2013

02/13/2013 - 22:59

  I run the CPU benchmarks to make sure there are no glaring issues between the different boards when running the same processor.  We check the memory streaming performance to gauge how mature or performance oriented the BIOS is.  Finally...
