LG GT505

The LG GT505 allows easy navigation using Wisepilot for LG. This handset comes preloaded with a 30-day free trial of WisePilot for LG, a turn-by-turn navigation solution, which offers voice instruction and a choice of 2D and 3D mapping to guide users to their destinations.

Other features include

* 3-inch touchscreen
* GPS
* Wi-Fi
* 3G with HSDPA 3.6
* Voice instruction
* MicroSD card support
* Bluetooth with A2DP
* 5-megapixel camera

LG GW520

The GW250 is what I would call the LG KS360’s big brother. The LG GW520 and the LG GT505 are the first LG phones to offer push social networking updates allowing consumers to receive alerts from multiple social network sites as they are posted. Users now have the ease of use and functionality to update their own statuses, personal pages or photos. Both new models support push email for personal accounts and have Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for business accounts.

"Mobile communications have been about more than just voice based calls for a long time, but consumers are now demanding more than just SMS and IM services. They want the kind of messaging and social networking features previously the preserve of high end handsets on a wide range of models, and that is what LG is offering. We recognize the demand for mobile devices that enable quick and easy interaction with social network sites as a growing market. LG aspires to be at the forefront of this with the launch of these great mobile phones", said Jeremy Newing, head of marketing, LG Mobile UK.

The LG GW520 is a mobile made for messaging, be that via social networks, email or SMS and IM. It enables users to connect to their communities and grow their social life on the move. It also features -

* 2.8-inch touchscreen
* slide-out QWERTY keypad
* 3G with HSDPA 3.6
* Voice instruction
* MicroSD card support
* Bluetooth
with A2DP
* 3 megapixel camera

This handset also includes LG's LiveSquare feature which enables the consumer to see those friends that you talk to most often appearing as an animated character on the homescreen. These characters enable quick and easy access to a contact at the click of a button.

General Mobiles DSTL1

At the beginning of this year General Mobiles had announced their entry into the Android Mobile handset division with their DSTL1 touchscreen handset with Dual SIM capabilities. The company is now about to release the handset in June in Russia and Germany is what reports are saying. A few features are still sketchy but from the images that were released earlier, the handset looks quite stylish nevertheless.

The General Mobiles does feature –

* a 3-inch touchscreen with a 240 x 400 pixel, 260K color resolution (WQVGA)
* Wi-Fi, EDGE and GPRS support
* 4GB of internal memory with external support form microSD cards (up to 8GB)
* Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
* Media player with DivX playback support, FM radio
* 5 megapixel AF camera with flash
* MS document reader
* Java support

The pricing of the handset has not yet been revealed but reports are estimating it to be in the vicinity of Rs. 30,000 ($550-$750). With any luck it’ll move a little southward and find its way to our shores.

Samsung S5050.

Samsung has unveiled a new slider handset – the S5050. According to reports, the handset comes equipped with an AMOLED display sporting a 240 x 320 pixel resolution. The display characteristic should make the handset a real eye opener, although it does come off a little girly, at least in the pictures.

This Quad-band GSM handset will also feature -

* a 3.2 megapixel camera with an auto focus lens
* EDGE/GPRS support
* Bluetooth with an A2DP profile
* MicroSD card support
* a Music player and an FM

The handset, though not yet officially announced would be priced at approximately Rs. 11,162 ($235).

AMD's Athlon MP & Tyan's Thunder K7

Over the past two years AMD have established themselves as one of the two premier chipmakers for the desktop market. Today we will be looking at the products they hope will make a name for them in the workstation and server arena. The Dual Athlon MP system is finally here. This is the next logical step for AMD since they have managed to eat up quite a large chunk of the desktop market share since August 1999, but have, as of yet, been virtually invisible in the high-end business segment. Yes, some forward thinking companies like Boeing have put together huge clusters of Athlon based machines - but what AMD wants is for the less forward thinking companies to regard them as the company to bank on for their computer needs instead of their competitors.

To do this AMD has just announced a new processor, which they hope will challenge Intel’s Dual Pentium III and Dual XEON line of processors. This chip, whose codename Palomino has been changed to Athlon MP is the next step in the evolution of the previous Athlon Thunderbird. Besides a few new features which should help performance and long-term life the Athlon MP's main selling point is the ability to run in Dual processor machines (with support from AMD). To achieve this, AMD has also announced the AMD 760MP (762) Northbridge, which will allow motherboards to run two processors and utilize SMP

AMD Phenom X4 9850 Processor

The new AMD Phenom X4 9850 is a great processor for its segment even though it is still not able to dominate in any fashion over the Intel quad-core options. Just as with the initial 2.3 GHz Phenom B2 launch, AMD still considers the Intel Core 2 Q6600 its primary competition, and I consider the Q9450 to be another potential threat as well. This new CPU is definitely getting AMD closer to its performance goals and any enthusiast or gamer looking for a ~$240 processor is going to have a fantastic experience with the 9850. The added performance and efficiency of the 2000 MHz memory controller and system bus add to the benefits of the 2.50 GHz clock rate producing the best fastest stock speed AMD quad-core CPU to date. Though I feel a bit like a broken record, we again should put a caveat on all of this: if AMD COULD put out a part to compete with Intel in the high-end processor segment they would. The 65nm process that the current generation Phenom is using just won't allow it and the engineers in Sunnyvale still have a lot of work ahead to start giving Intel competition in the high profit-margin area of $400+ processors.

AMD Promises DirectX 11 in 2009

AMD has confirmed rumors that it is working on DirectX 11, announcing at CEATEC that it plans to release its first DirectX 11-compatible GPUs in 2009. The company also predicted an increase in general purpose computing on GPUs (GPGPU) and a transition to a 40nm fabricating standard, which ought to give graphics chip performance rates a considerable boost. In layman terms: Things are about to get a lot bigger and a lot prettier.

Bigger cache boosts performance of Athlon XP 3000+ processor.

AMD has won its game of "cache up" with Intel. The newest Athlon XP processors, code-named Barton, have double the Level 2 cache of previous models. Our first tests show the results: Barton-based Athlon XP 3000+ systems flew through productivity work, just topping the fastest Pentium 4 systems we've tested. AMD-based PCs also continue to triumph in the pricing contest, often selling for hundreds less than comparably configured P4 computers.
Record Breakers
We tested three high-end PCs carrying the Athlon XP 3000+: Polywell's $2155 Poly 880NF2-3000; Sys Technology's $3153 Sys Performance 3000+; and Falcon Northwest's $3275 Mach V Athlon XP 3000+. All of them had 1GB of 333-MHz DDR memory and a slew of high-end components, including ATI's Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card. The Polywell and Falcon machines ran Windows XP Home while the Sys ran Windows XP Professional (a negligible factor in our PC WorldBench 4 tests). Polywell sent a preproduction unit; the other two PCs were shipping models.
The Sys PC raced in with a score of 137 on our benchmark--the fastest result of any system to date. The Polywell checked in at 136; the Falcon, at 134--all insignificant performance differences.
By comparison, the zippiest 3.06-GHz P4 system we've tested, a previously reviewed $2860 Sys unit with 512MB of 1.066-GHz RDRAM, scored 132, just slightly lower than our top-performing Athlon XP 3000+ system.
Three additional 3.06-GHz P4 systems equipped with 1GB of memory that we tested for the Januaryhyperthreading story averaged 121. That means the top Athlon XP PC scored about 13 percent higher, a noticeable difference.
For comparison we also tested AMD-based Poly and Falcon systems using the original, non-Barton Athlon XP 2800+ chip; PC WorldBench 4 results fell by 2 to 4 points. In several other tests, however--including Nero Burning ROM and Musicmatch--the 3000+ PCs performed slightly below the 2800+ systems.
The 3000+ systems' average time of 226 seconds in the AutoCAD test trounced the P4 PCs' average time of 273 seconds. The 3000+ PCs also outperformed the Intel-based systems in the Photoshop, Premiere, Nero Burning ROM, and Unreal Tournament tests; the P4 machines prevailed in the Musicmatch and Return to Castle Wolfenstein tests.
The 3000+ Skinny
AMD is shipping three new Barton-based processors: The Athlon XP 3000+ (running at 2.167 GHz), a new XP 2800+ (2.083 GHz), and the first XP 2500+ (1.833 GHz). All three include a 512KB L2 cache and a 333-MHz frontside bus. The 2800+ Barton-based CPU replaces an existing Athlon XP 2800+ chip that AMD shipped in small quantities to five PC vendors in fall 2002.
The original 2800+ chip, which runs at 2.25 GHz, is faster than both its replacement and the 3000+ chip. What gives? According to AMD, the 2800+ model number is based on the level of performance the chip delivers in PCs when running certain applications. The new 2800+ uses cache instead of megahertz to reach that level of application performance.
By the time you read this, all 2800+ chips shipping in PCs should be Barton-based models, according to AMD.
The company plans to ship an Athlon XP 3200+ processor by mid-2003, and in September it will debut its oft-delayed Athlon 64 CPU. AMD's future chip pairs 64-bit technology with a faster memory interface that should lead to improved performance.
Intel also plans several new chips, including a 3.2-GHz P4 that should be ready by April, says Kevin Krewell, general manager at research firm In-Stat/MDR. The company will follow that with a 3.4-GHz chip, code-named Prescott, offering twice the P4's current L2 cache (1MB) and improved hyperthreading, he says.
In the meantime, your best deal is likely a computer with AMD's Athlon XP 2800+ chip, since the prices of such systems are noticeably lower than those of 3000+ PCs (about $200) but their performance is not. And the price differences between Athlon XP 3000+ machines and 3-GHz P4 systems can run as high as $600.

Strengths: SLI, CrossFire both supported, High tech, great cooling
Weaknesses: expensive, no pci64 slot anymore, less memory support
Summary: (Edited July 22nd by spongy88) I'm using this MB with QX9775. Well, this MB still support LGA771 type of Zeon processor. Also both SLI and Crossfire supported. I choose SLI because of price of cards. Anyway this is first SLI supported from Intel. Looking very powerful and forceful desin. Specially I love that black platform. Also Box design is black and extremely powerful shape. But my opinion is if there is one of PCI64 slot for use SCSI raid controller, that it should be SUPER. I'm not SAS guy yet cuz SAS HDD is expensive at this point. So i'm trying to find out the SCSI controller that use on PCI express. Anyway It's great board and worth price!

Intel Core2 Quad Q9300

Intel’s Core 2 Q9300 processor is fabricated using the 45nm Penryn process that we first saw in Benny's review of the Intel Core 2 Quad QX9650, which is a lovely CPU if you don't mind forking out £480. Thankfullly, the Penryn process is also used in more down-to-earth CPUs such as the dual core E8500, which is where things get interesting for most of us.
When we reviewed the E8500 in March 2008 it had a price of £182 but since then we’ve seen a surprising amount of price compression among the Intel dual cores. The 3.16GHz E8500 has dropped to £123, the 3.0GHz E8400 is £110 and the 2.66GHz E8200 is priced at £106. Who the heck would buy a £106 processor when you can get the next speed bump for only £4 more?

This reduction in price for the Wolfdale dual core Penryns leaves the £150+ price bracket open for affordable Yorkfield quad core processors which is where the Core 2 Quad Q9300 comes into the equation. It has a relatively slow clock speed of 2.50GHz which is achieved by a 7.5x multiplier and a 333MHz/1,333MHz front side bus which is matched by a price of £173. Now that’s cheap for a Yorkfield as faster models shoot past £200 and head for £390 with the Q9550 and upwards to £480 for the aforementioned QX9650.
Things aren’t entirely as they might appear, though, as most Yorkfields have 12MB of L2 cache with 6MB for each core while the Q9300 only has 6MB with 3MB per core. The rest of the features are just as you’d expect from a Penryn which is a significant advance from the 65nm Kentsfield including support for the SSE4.1 instruction set. The move to the 45nm process has allowed Intel to reduce the core voltage from a nominal 1.3V to 1.2V, which in turn reduces the TDP from 105W to 95W.
