EVGA X58 SLI Micro LGA1366 mATX Motherboard Review @ Hardware Canucks and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

The mATX form factor has really made a name for itself over the last few years and that has carried forward to the X58 chipset with fully featured monster boards packed into a small mATX form factor. The EVGA X58 SLI Micro continues that tradition by offering pretty much everything its full ATX X58 counterparts provide. The one big difference is the mATX form factor.

With the launch of the AMD Radeon HD 5870 graphics card fresh on our minds, we couldn't help but wonder how far we could overclock the card if we weren't limited by what Catalyst Control Center capped us at? Read on to see what we can do with the AMD GPU Clock Tool on our 5870 that comes stock at 850MHz GPU and 1200MHz Memory.

Yesterday, we brought you news that Sean Maloney showed the World's first Larrabee graphics engine running a quick demo at one of the keynote presentations here at IDF. Here is a quick video that Intel posted on YouTube of the presentaion if you'd like to see it for yourself in HD.

Larrabee is the codename for a GPGPU chip that Intel is developing separately from its current line of integrated graphics accelerators. Larrabee is expected to compete with GeForce and Radeon products from NVIDIA and AMD respectively. Larrabee will also compete in the GPGPU and high-performance computing markets. The first video cards featuring Larrabee are likely to be released in the first half of 2010

At IDF 209 this today Intel demonstrated a high-speed optical cable technology available next year that will connect mainstream electronic devices like laptops, HD displays, televisions, cameras, video players, iPods, docking stations and Solid State Drives (SSDs) to each other using optical fiber, rather than copper wires.

Developed by Intel and codenamed Light Peak, this proposed technology paves the way for a new generation of extreme computer input and output (I/O) performance, delivering 10Gb/s of bandwidth, with the potential ability to scale to 100Gbs over the next decade. At 10Gb/s, a user could transfer a full-length Blu-Ray* movie in less than 30 seconds. The company intends to work with the industry to determine the best way to make this new technology a standard.

One of our sharp eyed readers just noticed that Newegg.com listed their XFX Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards as being in-stock and ordered one! If you are looking for one of these cards you can actually order one and have it tomorrow if you overnight it!

The XFX Radeon 5850 and 5870 graphics cards also feature a second generation TeraScale engine that provides a dramatic increase in processing power over previous generations. Two teraFLOPS of power enable gamers to carve through the most demanding games and GDDR5 memory technology provides twice the data per pin of GDDR3 memory at similar clock speeds, enabling these GPUs to be more nimble and responsive than previous graphics cards.

Kingston had another strong presence at IDF this year and the highlight of their booth for our audience was clearly the SSD Demo they had setup. The system contained four Kingston SSDNow! M series drives and eight Kingston SSDNow! E series drives! You'll have to read on to see what they did with this many drives.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY today announced their latest addition to its selection of premium graphics cards. GIGABYTEs GV-R587D5-1GD-B and GV-R585D5-1GD-B are built using ATI RadeonbHD 5800 Series GPUs which are based on 40nm process and advanced GDDR5 memory technology. These powerful new GPUs provide for a host of innovative new features including Microsoft DirectX 11, ATI Eyefinity Technology, ATI Stream technology, Quad mode ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU support, UVD 2 and PowerPlay, and offer an incredibly immersive HD gaming experience and unrivaled performance.

The GIGABYTE GV-R587D5-1GD-B and GV-R585D5-1GD-B feature ATI's latest 2nd Generation TeraScale graphics engine, boasting the power of more than 2 teraFLOPS with 1600 and 1440 stream processors respectively. With 1GB GDDR5 memory, the GV-R587D5-1GD-B and GV-R585D5-1GD-B provide twice the data per pin of GDDR3 memory at the same clock speeds. Benefiting from ATI Eyefinity Technology, every gamer can run up to 3 displays from a single graphics board and expand the field of view across all displays. End-users can enjoy the ultimate gaming experience with innovative wrap around multi-display capabilities with ATI Eyefinity Technology. Furthermore, using ATI Stream Technology, every user can easily unleash the massive parallel processing power of GPU for physics, artificial intelligence, stream computing and ray tracing calculations, and tackle demanding tasks like video transcoding with incredible speed.

Kingston Technology just sent us word that they are adding 8GB HyperX kits to their Core i5/i7 lineup of memory. The quad-kits come in 1333- and 1600MHz, run at a low 1.65 volts and are available now.

The 8GB memory kits help increase overall system performance in 64-bit operating systems including Windows Vista and the upcoming Windows 7. System builders and ultra-enthusiasts who deploy 8GB of Kingston dual-channel memory will find performance increases in such tasks as running virtual machines, video encoding and graphics-oriented applications.

ntel Corporation introduced its revolutionary Intel Core i7 Mobile Processor and Intel Core i7 Mobile Processor Extreme Edition today, bringing Intels award-winning and super-fast Nehalem microarchitecture to the mobile market. These processors in addition to the new Intel PM55 Express Chipset, provide the best laptop experience for intense gaming, digital media, photos, music, business applications and other multi-threaded software that hungers for faster processing speed. The chips also boost overall performance when using several of these applications simultaneously. 1ku pricing for the Intel Core i7-920XM, Intel Core i7-820QM and Intel Core i7-720QM mobile processors is $1,054, $546 and $364, respectively. Be sure to check out our review on the Intel Core i7-920XM processor in a Clevo whitebook notebook here.

Formerly codenamed Clarksfield, Intel Core i7 mobile processors offer Intel Turbo Boost Technology1, which can accelerate the processor clock speed up to 75 percent to match workloads, as well as better performance on highly threaded applications with the power of Intel Hyper-Threading Technology2. The new Intel Core i7 mobile processors also include two-channel DDR3 1333 MHz memory support and full 1 x16 or 2 x8 PCI Express 2.0 graphics. Whether users are editing a video, composing a song, playing a video game or updating their Facebook status with the latest YouTube video craze, Intel Core i7 mobile processors adapt to provide the right processing power for the task, with more performance and flexibility to match their on-the-go needs.

Twitter is one of the most popular social networking services around, and over the last year it’s worked its way into many aspects of our lives.  For some time, however, the Twitter app selection for Windows Mobile devices was practically nonexistent.

But in the past several months, a handful of Windows Mobile Twitter apps have been released, and we hope to see their number continue to grow.

Our favorite Twitter client for Windows Mobile at the moment is moTweets.  There are several reasons for this, but the main reason we love moTweets is that it has an attractive Twitter-esque UI, just about every option a user could hope for and generally solid performance on touchscreen Windows Mobile smartphones. 

If you can’t stop tweeting, Twittering, or whatever you choose to call using Twitter too much, grab a copy of moTweets from Handango and try it for yourself.
