We certainly reviewed our share already and guess what ? We have more in store for you. Today the turn goes towards Jetway with a really affordable P55 offering in that saturated motherboard market -- meet the HI05 p55 based motherboard.

Check out the review here.

The Smog features an ergonomic right handed design, it has an embedded Avago 9500 laser sensor, 7+2 programmable buttons, and a DPI settings 5040 (selectable). The mouse also comes with a rubber left side grip, ceramic footpads, an adjustable weight. And sure, Macro modes for gaming profiles as well and 4-way scrolling.

Guru3D will be testing the retail version from HIS Graphics cards, but since we received a reference also, we might as well insert some CrossfireX results as well. Next to all the regular stuff we'll be overvolting and overclocking the card as well.

Yes the fastest graphics card in the world is unleashed, let's test it for cryin' out loud !

Go check it out right here.

Applications for GDDR memory devices used with GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) are found not only in such graphic processing equipment as game consoles and PC graphics cards but also in equipment that require high-performance computing for use in such areas as science and technology, physical simulation, digital image processing and video conversion.

In August Elpida announced plans to enter the graphics DRAM business based on its acquisition of GDDR design assets from the German company Qimonda AG. The successful development of the new GDDR product in only three months using these design assets was made possible by close cooperation between Elpida's new Munich Design Center in Germany, an Elpida Japan-based technology team and engineers at Taiwan-based Winbond Electronics Corporation.

After concluding an evaluation at the Munich Design Center, sample shipments will start in December and mass production is expected to begin in the second quarter (April-June) of CY 2010.

Elpida is now involved in all areas of the DRAM market - commodity DRAMs, GDDR for the graphics market, high-speed XDR DRAM and Mobile RAM for mobile equipment. By becoming one of the few full-range suppliers Elpida expects to play an increasingly important role in the DRAM market with its "total memory solutions" approach.

"When we started this project our goal was to create a fully adjustable and innovative gaming mouse with unique features. It has been very challenging and we put in a lot of effort to archieve our goals. Mionix Naos 5000 is a big step forward to become one of the world's leading manufacturer of gaming accessories with a wide range of gaming products that gamers can identify themselves with. We are very proud to be the first Swedish manufacturer of gaming accessories to develop a gaming mouse", says Carl Conradsson, Mionix.

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS PERFORMANCE
The design of Mionix Naos 5000 is interesting due to the fully support to all five fingers. It has been under development since the beginning of this year and has been tested by gamers, both professionals and amateurs in order to find the perfect ergonomic grip.

The new innovative weight tuning system is completely new to the market. Gaming mice with traditional positioned weight tuning systems sometimes gets heavy in the back. In order to prevent this, Mionix Naos 5000 has a centralized weight tuning system that improves the weight distribution of the mouse. Another stunning feature is the S.Q.A.T (Surface Quality Analyzer Tool), a smart tool that measures the tracking quality of the mousepad surface.

Mionix Naos 5000 carries only carefully chosen high-end components. The 6 integrated LEDs supports extensive color options and can be configured from the software among other functions such as adjustable lift-distance, dpi sensitivity, macros and much more. Mionix Naos 5000 also has a built-in memory that manages up to 5 profiles, when you go on LAN just plug in your mouse and start immediately, no driver or other software needs to be installed.

This prominent gaming mouse is named after the star Naos, a blue super giant and one of the brightest stars in our galaxy. Naos means "ship" and is enough powerful to create comet tails and huge clouds of auroras visible from Earth. Naos is constantly moving away from its original position in the constellation of Vela and it spins about 100 times faster than our sun. Since its birth it has covered a distance of 400 light-years. No one knows exactly why Naos has such a high rotation speed, but an explanation to this phenomenon lies in the gravitational interaction between many other stars.

Textures above 32-bit (64-bit or 128-bit) require more than the one pass. This was because the texture structures were monolithic and took multiple cycles to be executed, during which time all other shader units would have to remain idle. With these two patent authors' invention, the larger textures can actually be broken down into smaller ones, which can be completed more rapidly, removing the idleness of the other GPU segments.

"But to do that, the monolithic texture-load instructions had to be split into chunks. Break a 128-bit texture into four pieces – each of which can be completed in one pass – and that lets one cycle-hungry instruction be broken into four instructions. Doing this means that other circuits keep processing instructions – no more waiting," Marinez added.

"Kilgariff and Bastos [also] discovered they could reorder instructions for greater efficiency. For instance, if a texture for instruction 1 is not immediately available, the shader circuit could get to work on instruction 2. Instructions don't back up in a queue [and] textures render faster, [providing] more seamless game play."

These solutions are outlined in patent no. 7609272. Elements of this patent have been used in already-existing NVIDIA graphics processing units, including the GeForce 6 family of graphics adapters (launched in 2004) and the Reality Synthesizer (RSX) GPU co-developed by NVIDIA for the Sony PlayStation 3.

“What is important is that we have shipped hundreds of thousands of ATI Radeon 5000-series so far. The supply is going to open up quite a bit further in December. We are a couple weeks away from an improvement in supply. It has been a little bit slow in November, but you are going to see an improvement in supply in December,” said Chris Hook, a spokesperson for AMD.

Not surprisingly, AMD's series of graphics adapters are very popular thanks to their high-end capabilities. The processor developer is finally starting to come out of the insecure financial situation it has been in for the past 18 months. The $1.25 billion received from Intel, after the antitrust settlement, aided in the settling of various debts that had been restricting the company's freedom of action. With its current, more stable foothold, AMD can finally put more resources into mass-production of products, including these two graphics adapter series.

This announcement may have rekindled the hopes of end-users, from multimedia enthusiasts to gamers. Hopefuls can now be sure that there is still a chance to see the Radeon HD 5700 and HD 5800 adapters shipped in time for their Christmas shopping spree. Not only that, but AMD/ATI must know well that it would be in its best interest to have as many such cards available in time, as holiday sales are always over the top and, naturally, so are the revenues [via soft-pedia]
