Alien to mini machine:-Dell Alienware X51 games host, DELL,Alienware X51, mini, NVIDIA,Optimus
Alienware's gaming machines in the brand image is more deeply rooted. Just this afternoon, Dell held a conference in San Francisco, California, announced the latest Alienware products - the brand's first mini X51. Overall size and the old version of the Xbox 360 65nm process almost.
Although the size small, but Alienware is this product for gamers since it naturally will not use Atom / Brazos APU platforms. X51 uses an H61 mini-ITX motherboard, use the desktop version of the LGA 1155 Core i3/i5/i7 processor, providing maximum 8GB DDR3 memory (standard 4GB). Motherboard supports USB 3.0, integrated WiFi module and a slim DVD burner / Blu-ray drive.
The most important graphics, X51 has a PCI-Express x16 slot, support up to 9 inches around 228.6mm of the dual-slot graphics card. Hard drive cage to support installation of a 3.5-inch hard drive or a pair of 2.5-inch HDD (but need to transfer), can also use the 3.5 in. HDD +2.5 inch SSD combination. In addition, X51 and M17x/M18x notebook also has a similar external power supply module.
Specific configuration section, Alienware X51 standard graphics for the GeForce GT 545/GeForce GTX 555, both of which are OEM-specific models, with GDDR5 memory. GT 545 is a GTX 550 Ti shrink version, CUDA cores down to 144, down to 870 core frequency, memory frequency is equivalent to about 4GHz, width is 128bit. The GTX 555 is the GTX 560's scaled-down, similar to the GTX 460 SE specification and GTX 460 V2 combination, with the former and the latter the number of CUDA cores and other specifications: 288 CUDA Core, 776MHz core frequency, 192bit memory interface , equivalent to about 4GHz memory frequency. Most importantly, both the desktop graphics card also supports NVIDIA's Optimus technology, can greatly reduce the use of power.
General configuration details are listed below:
-CPU: Intel Core i3 (standard) dual-core / i5 or i7 quad-core processor
- Motherboard: H61 chipset Mini-ITX specification
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 1GB GDDR5 (standard) / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 1GB GDDR5, Optimus intelligent switching technology to support
- Memory: 4GB DDR3-1333 (standard), upgradeable to 8GB, 2 DIMM slots
- Hard disk: Standard high-speed 7200rpm 1TB (picture point of view seems to be Western Digital Blue plate)
- Optical Drive: Slim DVD burner (standard) / Blu-ray
- Expansion: Gigabit networks, 802.11 a / b / g / n WiFi, 6 个 USB 2.0,2 a USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4a output, SPDIF output, HD audio output
- Power Supply: Alienware custom 240W (standard) / 330W
- Size: 343 * 95 * 318mm
- Weight: about 5.49kg
The Dell price is relatively kind, priced at just $ 699, the high-priced strategy for the Alienware is consistently regarded as valuable, and then take into account the work problem, some users considered a good choice.
NVIDIA GK104 renewed speculation: 32 million transistors $ 399-NVIDIA, GK104, rumors, specifications
Morning, the just-concluded NVIDIA CES keynote CEO Jen-Hsun Huang did not disclose on GeForce / Quadro / Tesla-related news. But it's not naturally there are other official sources, the Czech Republic today has released an OBR next generation NVIDIA core-side main GK104 Kepler detailed specifications chart.
As a fact, GeForce GTX 560 Ti's successor, GK104 integrating 3.2 billion transistors, design performance than the GeForce GTX 580 by about 10% -15%, depending on the frequency difference in AMD Tahiti or between family Radeon HD 7950/7970 and Radeon HD 7970 quite. Said to control power consumption is also good, the core can easily over the same frequency on 1100MHz. Pricing and GeForce GTX 570 is the equivalent of $ 399. Specifications described in the following figure, we can see that the previously reported core / Shader frequency of unity has been confirmed from multiple sources:
But on this memory controller is still in doubt, PCINLIFE administrator cho in the Radeon HD 7970 evaluation data should be implied 256bit. If you use 256bit memory controller, then NVIDIA is bound to push the memory frequency to 5.5GHz and AMD like to get around the memory bandwidth and reliable manner as not to become a bottleneck.
AMD Radeon HD 7000 series price performance disclosure-AMD, Radeon, HD 7000
AMD preparing next month the latest “ southern islands ” series GPU products, on the basis of a series of desktop graphics products. Led will be code-named “ Tahiti ” (Tahiti), high-performance GPU, and the Radeon HD 7,900 series video cards. And then publish the code number “ Pitcairn ” (Pitcairn) Radeon HD7800 series of high performance GPU and a corresponding video, released after code “ Thames ” (Thames) and “ &rdquo on Lombok Island, (Lombok) mainstream-level GPU and corresponding Radeon
HD7700, Radeon HD7600 series.
Today, we are told that, Radeon HD7970 higher performance than GeForce GTX580,Radeon HD7970 graphics card is priced at $ 499, Radeon HD7950 higher performance than GeForce GTX570, priced at $ 399. &Amp;ldquo; Pitcairn ” (Pitcairn) high performance GPU will be Barts“ buzz ” successor.
This GPU is designed for the performance of a dessert-location design, specific models with Radeon HD7870 and HD7850, they will compete with the GeForce GTX560 Ti/GTX560, priced at US $ 299 and $ 199 respectively. Radeon HD and 7,670 respectively at $ 179 and $ 119. In addition, the Radeon HD and HD 7,970 7,950 allegedly will match 3GB graphics memory. According to the latest leaks news of Radeon HD7000 series and NVIDIA product performance are as follows: Radeon HD 6990>GeForce GTX 590>Radeon HD 7970>GeForce GTX 580>Radeon HD 7950>GeForce GTX 570>Radeon HD 6,970.
Get the lead incursion: Sauter released Silent GTS 450 – Sautter, silent, passive cooling, GTS 450, Zone Edition
Seeing GeForce 600 series are not far off, the previous generation GeForce 400 series is still very tenacious vitality, from time to time there are new announcements. Sauter announced today they use a completely silent design \"GeForce GTS 450 Zone Edition\" (Product No. ZT-40511-20M).
The card uses a more traditional design approach of quiet, small PCB board covers a huge radiator, three pure copper heat pipe runs through dense aluminum heat sink and extends to outside the main body. Basic does not cover the back, but still take up two expansion slots bit.
Specifications, in order to reduce power consumption and temperature, cooling fan and do not adapt to a larger compromise, the public version of the core frequency from 783MHz down to 600MHz, 192 stream processors, frequency response down to 1200MHz, and memory as downgrade from 1GB GDDR5 1GB DDR3, frequency of 1333MHz, but the output interface added more complete, providing a DVI-I, mini HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-VGA adapter included.
By comparison can be found, this card is actually quiet a year ago, is basically down-energy version of the GeForce GTS 450 ECO Edition, without auxiliary power.
