AMD Releases Latest Generation of G-Series Embedded Products

04/24/2013 - 22:15

  It has long been known that AMD has simply not had a lot of luck going head to head against Intel in the processor market.  Some years back they worked on differentiating themselves, and in so doing have been able to stay afloat through hard...

GLOBALFOUNDRIES: 2013 and Beyond

04/17/2013 - 10:15

It has been a while since we last talked about GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and it is high time to do so.  So why the long wait between updates?  Well, I think the long and short of it is a lack of execution from their stated roadmaps from around 2009 on....

Two Technologies to Watch

04/17/2013 - 00:03

Two implementations really stand out on GF’s roadmap.  The 14XM FinFET node is a low power product aimed at mobile applications at 14 nm.  It will not be a good choice for large, power hungry products like GPUs, but it will be appropriate...

ARM Mali Graphics Interview: Digging into the graphics side of ARM

03/25/2013 - 20:57

  ARM is a company that no longer needs much of an introduction.  This was not always the case.  ARM has certainly made a name for themselves among PC, tablet, and handheld consumers.  Their primary source of income is licensing CPU...

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z Review: Cream of the Crop for AM3+

03/17/2013 - 22:06

  Over the past several years I have reviewed quite a few Asus products.  The ones that typically grab my attention are the ROG based units.  These are usually the most interesting, over the top, and expensive products in their respective...

Conclusion

03/17/2013 - 21:37

  Asus certainly has the market for top end AMD boards cornered.  While other manufacturers have high end AMD boards, none seem to compare well against what Asus brings with their ROG products.  The price is not all that bad, considering....

Cinebench 11.5, Power, and Overclocking

03/17/2013 - 21:30

  Cinebench 11.5 This benchmark leverages both CPU and memory performance.  This again would expose any weakness of implementation that this board would contain. [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/cinebench11-multi.png] Identical results. ...

3D Mark Vantage

03/17/2013 - 21:28

  To make sure that CPU performance, memory performance, and PCI-E functionality are all properly implemented, I use 3D Mark Vantage.  GPU drivers are fully optimized for this benchmark and it helps to show if there are any deficiencies in the...

HD Tach: USB 3.0

03/17/2013 - 21:27

  The same test was used on the ASMedia USB 3.0 controllers, since the SB950 does not natively support USB 3.0. [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtachU31.png] [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtachU32.png] [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtachU33....

HD Tach: SATA 6G

03/17/2013 - 21:26

  To get another view of File System performance, we dust off HD tach.  The short test was used. [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtach1.png] [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtach2.png] [inline:files/review/2013-03-17/hdtach3.png] [inline:...
