nVidia

While we all know that many times the things said are not the same as what is getting done in the back rooms of the corporate world, the leader of nVidia has always appeared to be a straight shooter,  though somewhat colorful in his speaking.
A story this morning from Maximum PC tends to dash the [...]

Intel doesn’t like to be talked about in a disparaging way. After a long time of no delivery on a product, effectively making it vaporware, a new amount of work is going into the Larrabee project, and the actual product may be materializing.
This morning, which is odd enough, as not much news in the computer [...]

The problems of the world continue no matter the hopes and best wishes of any business or corporate entity. That is the reason we have so many reports of the early sales of Windows 7 being up, by as much as 234%, according to some reports, yet other reports state that PC sales are down. [...]

Rumors abound concerning the possible entry of nVidia into the CPU market. Though now is more of a tough time to break new things than any in recent memory, I am sure it would be a great idea.
In any market, a third entry makes the other two perk up and get a lot less comfortable [...]

AMD seems to believe that simply because it has released a new set of good quality video cards that it suddenly owns the world. This doesn’t jibe with the story going around about more layoffs in a few weeks at the company.
To top that off, the company has been suffering from a lack of product, [...]

After attending a Microsoft Windows Launch Event yesterday, along with a Developer’s Track, I can see how much change there is in Windows 7 that has largely been ignored by the press.
Though I still hate the lack of the hierarchical menu system, I can see that the changes to the taskbar are many, and again, [...]

The casual user or part time gamer will find nothing interesting about the release coming from nVidia thru eVGA in a few days. In a much different move than anything done by a mainstream graphics company previously, nVidia will be releasing a dual GPU video card. That of itself is not new; what is new [...]

Opinions are like noses, and sometimes they all blow, so you may regard this as just another if you wish. I do think, however, that some people have an over-bloated sense of universal knowledge, i.e. knowledge of the universe.
I am referring to the blogger who started the current flap, by stating that Vista was a [...]

Larrabee, as most power users know, is the ‘answer’ to the question “Why does Intel always make graphics that suck?” It is to be the Core to AMD’s Barcelona, in the war of the big guns in computing.
Anyone who has used onboard Intel graphics, or was unlucky enough to purchase one of the older i740 [...]

All the rumors are true. The end of nVidia motherboards is here, as the chipset maker fights with Intel over access to the connections of the latest CPUs, which it says will take some time. No court battle is mentioned with AMD, but the company says there is no demand for nVidia chipsets for AMD [...]

Yesterday, in a column on ZDNet, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes put forth the idea that nVidia might be on its last legs, as the market is not what it once was.
While I don’t think that is the case, it might be a good thing for the folks at nVidia to get a scare, as they have been [...]

SLI, a method of sharing the graphics load between certain nVidia video cards, to achieve greater performance (.e.g. Divide and Conquer), is something that nets nVidia $5 each time a motherboard maker wants to include the ability in any of its motherboards. That is $5 per board. Not a bad deal.
The word is that the [...]

Last week the news of a couple of Intel long-term employees leaving the company was being played off as a simple, change of routine thing, but now, from a story on Bright Side of News, we find that it’s a problem where the parties in question were screwing up, not providing the results needed.
The screw [...]

After reading all about the news of Microsoft’s quarterly earnings slump, I know now that those who decided, or were not able, to purchase the initial offerings of Windows 7 at a good price will not be left out in the cold. (If you read this column, you know I said during the two week [...]

All this talk about the RTM of Windows 7 has many people whipped up into a frenzy about upgrades; none are more excited than Microsoft, and the hardware manufacturers. They are busily getting things ready for the anticipated onslaught of customers, busily grabbing up new machines or upgrade hardware pieces to make the transition to [...]
