New NVIDIA GeForce 9M Series Notebook GPUs

NVIDIA is looking to up the ante in the realm of notebook GPUs with its new GeForce 9M series. NVIDIA is banking on both power and efficiency to win over OEMs and end-users with the new GPUs.

NVIDIA claims that the new GeForce 9M GPUs are up to 40% faster than the previous generation GeForce 8M parts and as much as ten times faster than a certain chip giant’s “generic” integrated GPUs — namely, Intel. All of the new GPUs incorporate PureVideo HD and support DVI, HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort 1.1, and Blu-ray Profile 2.0. All GeForce 9M GPUs comply with the MXM 3.0 graphics module specification.

On other feature to consider with the GeForce 9M is the inclusion of Hybrid SLI technology. This allows OEMs to incorporate a low-power GPU for everyday desktop duties and a higher-performing part for graphics-intensive duties — NVIDIA SLI support may be added at a later date.

“Beginning this summer, GeForce 9M GPUs and Hybrid SLI, paired with AMD and Intel CPUs, will enable a new breed of notebooks,” said Jeff Fisher, NVIDIA’s GPU Senior VP. “These new notebooks will be optimized to deliver a visual experience and raw computing performance that traditional cookie-cutter notebooks with integrated graphics simply can’t touch.”

In addition, this new GPU features a multi-core architecture which will not only speed up entertainment applications, but will also speed up today’s lifestyle applications, like video encoding from a PC to a small personal media device, where the speed up in the video conversion is up to 5x faster with the GeForce 9M family GPUs.”

NVIDIA has broken the GeForce 9M into three categories: Value, Mainstream, and Performance. The Value sector will be solely represented by the GeForce 9100M G. The Mainstream sector will be propped up by the GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9300M GS, and GeForce 9200M GS. Finally, the Performance sector features the GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 9600M GS, and GeForce 9500M G.

Unlike some of ATI’s latest graphics offerings, the new GeForce 9M series will not support DirectX 10.1. NVIDIA says that consumers will base their buying decisions on price and performance and that support for a particular API is not of extreme importance.

For those looking to take advantage of PhysX a recent acquisition of NVIDIA’s drivers are expected to be made available during Q3 2008. It Should be interesting while how things in the graphics market pan out as Intel and NVIDIA continue to cross paths within the next 18 months.

MSI Wind Ultra-portable

Is talk about new launched product of MSI, wich dropped with this morning the £329 Wind ultraportable to direct competition with Eee PC 900.

This product will goes on sale the second week of June in the UK, and will be formally launched at Computex on 3rd June. The full specification is already widely known, but we promised to play coy and not reveal what processor can be found in this particular model until the formal annnouncement. So, bear that in mind as you take a gander at the photos after the cut.

First impressions are very, very good – the MSI Wind feels very solid and despite the case being made all plastic, it feels far from cheap. The white case has a similar pearlescent finish as the Eee PC 900 and 701 4G, but it isn’t quite so glossy as we liked it, but we think it’ll look better in black. The first batch of MSI Winds to go on sale will be white  and MSI doubts the pink model will make it to the UK.

At the diameter of 260 x 180 x 31mm and 1.26kg, it’s closer in size and weight to the HP 2133 Mini-Note, but this is a model with an optional six-cell battery (more on this later). The three cell model that will actually be on sale will weight closer to 1kg.

The two most striking things about the MSI Wind are the screen and keyboard – both are bigger than the Asus Eee PC 900’s. The screen has a 10 in diagonal and a 1024 x 600 resolution, and is very crisp – it’s easily as good as the Eee PC’s. The keyboard is bigger than the Eee PC’s and a little smaller than the HP 2133 Mini-Note’s, but it extends right to the edges of the case. The key tops are large and comfortable to type on.

The MSI Wind we saw was the highest specification model with, ahem, that processor, 1Gb of DDR2 RAM, 80Gb 5400rpm hard disk and Windows XP SP2. This will be the model on sale initially for £329 inc VAT, but less well-equipped models, some with SUSE Linux and an 8.9in screen, will follow later in the year. The 80Gb hard disk is standard across all models, though.

That’s a nice product that will be popular in the last of 2008. when it goes to Indonesia? lets we see together. would you like to be the first who have the MSI Wind ultraportable?

VIA OpenBook mini-note

Today, VIA has launched a low-cost notebook. its called VIA Openbook mini-note. The OpenBook is based around VIA’s venerable C7-M processor (1.0GHz to 1.6GHz) and features the new VX800 integrated chipset (VIA Chrome9, DirectX 9.0) to handle graphics duties. its will be nice for graphic or video playing.

The OpenBook comes equipped with an 8.9″ display — like many of its competitors — and features a resolution of 1024×600. Other features include three USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 media reader, 2MP digital camera, VGA connector, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The OpenBook can also be optioned with WiMAX, HSDPA, or EV-DO depending on your usage needs. Users can also choose from a variety of HDD or solid state disk (SSD) storage options.

If all of this sounds familiar, it should come as no surprise that an eerily similar product was announced by Everex in early April. Although VIA informed us that the “[Everex] CloudBook Max was designed by a different company,” one only needs to look at the pictures and the specifications to see that the two notebooks are virtual twins.

The VIA OpenBook will be compatible with Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows XP, and Linux when it ships later this year. Pricing has not yet been announced for notebooks using this reference design, but expect them to occupy the $400 to $600 price range depending on communications and storage options.

Will be a nice day while i can buy it. Thats very2 a simple things wich have a great function for mobile note. Are you interest with that review? please leave comment…

Samsung 256GB Solid State Disc (SSD)

This is samsung’s new product wich will introduce for this last year. a new variant of SATA II SSD should obliterate the competition with read speeds of 200MB/sec and write speeds of an amazing 160MB/sec. This compares to 120MB/sec and 40MB/sec respectively for Super Talents latest SSDs. Even Mtron falls far behind Samsung’s new 256GB SSD with read speeds of 120MB/sec and write speeds of 100MB/sec.

Samsung is using single-level cell (SLC) NAND chips to achieve these unheard of performance figures, however, the company instead settled on cheaper multi-level cell (MLC) NAND chips on this product. With development of the 256GB SSD, the notebook PC is on the brink of a second stage of evolution.

However, as the technology matures, we can expect to see prices drop as we have seen with the offerings from Super Talent. And if Intel has anything to say about it, it will offer SSD performance that will rival all contenders and likely will use its girth to push pricing further down to “mere mortal” levels. its will bea nice product that have any special features wich help you to save data in a simple package. If you’re a mobile pc user, dont miss to get it.

Sony Ericsson Z780

London, UK – 23 April 2008. – Sony Ericsson today introduced two new HSDPA phones into its line-up; each clearly designed to take its range of web-enabled phones in a different direction.

For 1209, it has some new interesting features. Nokia has installed a new feature to manage phone’s expenses. They call it pre-paid tracker which has a function to know the cost of each call. It is also having multiple phonebook where you can make a list of personal contact for 5 different persons and each person can have phone numbers up to 200 numbers. This feature can be useful if you are sharing one phone with other people.

The amazing news, these phones are the result from a survey on consumers in developing countries like India, Pakistan, Vietnam and Indonesia. The survey was indicating many people in developing countries want to share the use of their phone with others.

Samsung iPhone

Sprint and Samsung are looking to take a bite out of the Apple iPhone’s reign as the touch-screen mobile device of choice with their announcement Tuesday of the Samsung Instinct, a full touch-screen device that Sprint claims supports the lightning fast speeds of Sprint’s broadband network.

Coming in June, the Instinct is an EV-DO Rev. A device which Sprint said “speeds up the user experience like no other touch-screen phone,” an obvious jab at Apple’s iPhone, which dominates the touch-screen space.
