ASUS EP121 Pad ftablet PC Specifications

ASUS launched the ASUS Eee Pad EP121 features an Intel CULV processors, Windows 7, USB port and an integrated webcam.

EP121 12-inch tablet is actually thinner, lighter and faster than the Apple iPad. It is 12.2mm thick, weighs 1.48 pounds (675g) and is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo CULV processor (either an SU7xxx series or SU9xxx series chip at 1.3GHz or above). In contrast, the iPad is 12.7mm thick, weighs 1.6 pounds (726g) and is powered by an ARM-based Apple A4 1GHz custom SoC design.

ASUS report price range between $399 and $499.

Unlike the iPad, the ASUS Eee Pad EP121 offers the great convenience of being able to be docked in landscape mode. This seemingly insignificant but rather important design aspect was one of the main reasons why many prospective tablet customers chose not to buy into the first-generation iPad. Mobile productivity is designed in a way that is best optimized in a landscape screen environment, and the only way to do this on an iPad is to purchase a $69 dollar Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard which faces occasional connectivity issues with OS 3.2.

MSI logo in 3DMark 11 worth $50000

No matter what anyone says about its pros and cons, 3DMark is still the most widely considered benchmark among the world’s top system builders. The launch of 3DMark 2011 in September will cause a massive data jam in server centres across the globe as hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts battle to get a copy of the program that will let them know if their new machine is as cool and powerful as the owner wishes. If Futuremark uses its normal marketing tactics, then some form of this download will be free. Other versions will cost between tens and hundreds of dollars – according to how you want to use them.

That leaves one question. What was the cheque our spy satellite photographed on a table in the Espoo Curry Palace? Right now, it would appear to be a cheque for at least $50,000 from MSI to Futuremark, in order to brand a hot air balloon with the Taiwanese manufacturer’s logo. Interesting.

GTX490 is dual GPU card , dual GTX 470 GPU ?

kitguru report some information about the upcoming Nvidia Geforce GTX490 , its a dual GPU as we report that , and to be shown likely using dual GTX470.

Behind closed doors at Computex, nVidia is likely to be showing its most important partners a very serious piece of new kit. The GTX490. Remember when the 7950 GX2 was considered power-hungry for pulling 110w in 3D testing? Looking back at that era, it seems that ATI and nVidia just weren’t trying hard enough.
 

Firstly, it shows that the GTX490 is a dual-GPU card.

It’s likely to use the Fermi GTX470 processors, but we’re unable to confirm the exact clocks etc.

Buyer get GTX 465 Instead of GTX 470 from Galaxy

Overclock.net site user Moratorius bought Galaxy GC GTX 470 graphics card, but after the introduction of it were assigned to as yet unpublished own GeForce GTX 465-model. GPU-Z program identified the GeForce GTX 465's information correctly.

Galaxy was apparently accidentally equipped graphics card to GeForce GTX 465's with bios and updated the graphics card GeForce GTX 470 in the BIOS file, were assigned to the normal GTX 470-model. Moratorius has published several pictures of the video card and screen shots and driven test programs such as 3DMark Vantage tests through both bioseilla. Initial tests of the GeForce GTX 470 was about 27% of the powerful than the GTX 465 model.

Benchmarks:

• GeForce GTX 465: P13529
• GeForce GTX 470: P17203

External graphics card by MSI

MSI will show off its Graphics Upgrade Solution at Computex, it's an external graphics card that connects to your laptop via an ExpressCard device. The Game Upgrade Solution will be sold in a bundle with the Radeon HD 5670 for between $169 - $229, but you'll also be able to buy the Game Upgrade Solution on its own for just $99 - $109.
You won't be able to use a faster card though, you're not only limited by the ExpressCard interface but also by the power adapter which delivers a max of 84W. Future versions will use a USB 3.0 interface, but given all the limitations I think this will remain a pretty small niche market. All data being pumped through an ExpressCard slot that has the equivalent to PCI-Express 2.0 1x bandwidth, arguably anything faster would be entirely wasted anyway.
