Lets review the all new OCZ Vector series SSD. OCZ has developed this product with their all new Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller 256GB of NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD that is extremely fast and amongst the fastest we have ever tested. OCZ submitted the Vector 256GB model with impressive specs. The 256GB models have sustained read/write levels of 550 MB/sec and 530 MB/sec respectively. And with 4K random write performance estimated at 90~100 IOPS it's launching with the intent to impress.

In this article we test, benchmark and review the OCZ Vector series SSD. OCZ has developed this product with their all new Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller 256GB of NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD that is extremely fast and amongst the fastest we have ever tested. Head on over into the review.

According to a media report starting from code-named Broadwell generation of processors, Intel Corp. will only offer mainstream desktop chips in BGA packaging, which will eliminate upgrade options as well as increase risks for PC makers. According to Japanese PC Watch web-site, code-named Haswell microprocessors may be the last desktop chips in LGA packaging, which enabled easy switch of CPUs on mainboards. Starting from Broadwell chips, which are due in 2014, all mainstream desktop processors will be available in BGA packaging, which means that they will have to be soldered to mainboards, something that can be done in relatively sophisticated manufacturing facilities.

Jon Peddie Research published its Q3 2012 graphics chip report. The research firm found that NVIDIA gained 3.7% to 18.5% versus the second quarter, while AMD fell 1.5 percent to 21.2 percent and Intel dropped 2.4 percent to 59.8 percent. Full details after the break.

In this blog unique video, get a map flythrough from the fiercely competitive level Talah Market from the expansion pack Battlefield 3: Aftermath:

A brand new Company Of Heroes 2 Gameplay Video has been released. 

Sapphire released a  Radeon HD 7870 Toxic 2 GB graphics card based on the 28 nm "Tahiti LE" silicon. The card features factory-overclocked speeds with PowerTune Boost frequencies that likely breach the 1 GHz mark, letting it retain the "GHz Edition" marker.

Doesn't your skip a beat when you accidently sit on your shiny Samsung Galaxy S3? Well the smartphone is actually designed and extensively tested to handle most of the things you throw at it. The below video is in Korean but you will be amazed to see the torture tests Samsung does on the phone. 

In this article we test, benchmark and review the Plextor M5 Pro series SSD. Plextor has developed this product alongside a marvel controller tied to 256GB of NAND flash memory it is amongst the fastest drives we have ever tested. We sure have lots to talk about alright. The 256GB models have sutained read/write levels of 540 MB/sec and 450 MB/sec respectively.

And with 4K random write performance estimated at 86,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second) it's dressed to impress alright. Have a peek, after which we'll dive into the technology behind it and obviously we'll present you a nice phat performance overview.

Now a new video, presumably from Winp.cn, shows the current build of Windows Phone 7.8 (8858) in action. Actually, it's less action and more of a nice, soothing stroll on some of the more superficial changes coming in the OS update. The new tiles are shown off and we even see the Bing lockscreen wallpaper working (we're hoping that third-party apps can take advantage of it too like in Windows Phone 8). Overall, it's nothing groundbreaking but it does backup what we revealed yesterday. Here the OS is in Chinese, so it may be hard to discern some of the items in Settings but the features should be obvious. Speaking of, we're guessing that the CPU on board is only a 1GHz or so judging by the OS performance, though some of the exact and final specifications need to be confirmed yet for this device. The Nokia Lumia 510 is expected to be for Asian markets, specifically China. It's a low-cost handset with a 480x800 4” LCD display, 5MP camera (no front facing) and just 256MB of RAM with a 1300mAh battery. Release date is expected before the end of the year.

In his blog post, usability expert Jakob Nielsen of the Nielsen Norman Group explained in excruciating detail exactly why and how Windows 8 is difficult to use. It was a damning report that might have many questioning whether to take the Windows 8 plunge. The good news is you can buy a PC loaded with Windows 8 Pro, try out the new OS, and then downgrade to Windows 7. Unfortunately, however, the road back to Windows 7 can be confusing and full of twists.
