MSI has added a new gaming laptop to its repertoire. The new GX70 3BE features an AMD A10-5750M Richland processor, assisted by the HD 8970M graphics card. The A10-5750M is a quad-core chip that is clocked at 2.5 GHz. Through Turbo, the clock frequency can be increased to up to 3.5 GHz. The 32nm CPU [...]

Intel is working on another Pentium processor based on its Ivy Bridge architecture. This Pentium 2127U will have an especially low power consumption, making it suited for use in notebooks. The 22nm CPU has a 17 W TDP and is clocked at 1.9 GHz. The processor has 2 MB of L3 cache and its integrated [...]

Gelid has unveiled a new CPU-cooler. The cooler is a low-profile model called SlimHero and stands just  5.9 centimeters tall. It’s intended for use in compact systems, for instance based on the increasingly popular mini-ITX platform. The manufacturer claims that the SlimHero is capable of cooling CPUs with a TDP of up to 136W. It [...]

Akasa has developed two new chassis for passively cooled mini-ITX systems. These Galileo and Newton enclosures are also compatible with the Intel Next Unity of Computing (NUC) platform. The cases are made of aluminium and have VESA mounting holes. The Galileo is 37 mm thick and is capable of cooling processors with a TDP of [...]

MSI has announced a new compact system in its Wind series. The device, called Wind Box DC110, is sized 191.8 x 150.93 mm x 34.94 mm and weighs 830 grams. The system is developed to perform simple tasks, such as web browsing and text editing, as well as multimedia jobs, for instance (HD) movie playback.The [...]

Gigabyte has created a new Mini-ITX motherboard, the C1007UN-D. As the name suggests, the board is equipped with an Intel Celeron 1007U BGA processor, which is soldered onto it. This dual-core processor is clocked at 1.5 GHz, has 2 MB of L3 cache and a 17W TDP. It uses 22 nm transistors and is based [...]

Intel is working on several new entry-level processors. A leaked roadmap shows the Celeron G470, Core i3-3245 and Core i3-3250 processors. The Celeron chip is based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, while the two Core i3s are ‘Ivy Bridge’ processors. The Celeron G470 (BX80623G470) is a single-core chip, clocked at 2 GHz. The CPU supports [...]

An unannounced AMD chip has surfaced. The Athlon II X2 340 processor is positioned between the X2 200 and X2 400 CPUs. The chip is based on an FM2 socket, rather than AM3+. The integrated GPU is also missing. What remains is a 3.2 GHz dual-core processor with 2 MB of L2 cache memory and [...]

Over at Chiphell’s forum, the first real photos have surfaced of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX Titan. Reportedly, the graphics card will be officially launched later today. The Titan has a cooler made of a magnesium alloy with an acrylic top cover. The new card has illuminated letters that spell ‘GeForce GTX’.  The photos show a 6-pin [...]

Shuttle is mostly known for its compact barebone systems. Just recently, manufacturer introduced a new 15.6-inch All-in-One machine. This time around, Shuttle has developed a slightly larger system, equipped with a 1366×768 pixel 18.5-inch touchscreen. The All-in-One has dimensions of 46.8 x 36.7 x 5.7 cm. In addition to the larger screen, the new model [...]
