OCZ Technology today unveiled the Z-Drive, a PCI-Express Solid State Drive (SSD) designed to meet the stringent demands of enterprise computing clients. Unlike other solutions, the Z-Drive provides a cost-effective formula of performance, reliability, and upkeep for enterprise customers and their applications which require the benefits of solid state drive technology, but have previously been hesitant to adopt competing products due to the sheer cost of implementation. The Z-Drive is available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB (p84 only) capacities to offer ample room for the complete spectrum of applications. The Z-Drive comes backed by a leading 3-year warranty and dedicated technical support, ensuring unparalleled peace of mind.
Traditional enterprise storage technology typically requires overly complex infrastructure as well costly maintenance, and is often unable to deliver the level of performance required by OEM applications, said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. The new OCZ Z-Drive is an all-in-one high performance plug-and-play bootable PCI-E solid state drive that addresses these challenges head on, and meets the demands of the complete range of enterprise storage and data access requirements. The Z-Drive is designed not only to be higher performing and more reliable than conventional solutions, but also to significantly reduce both the maintenance and overall TCO for our clients.

GlacialTech announced that its sub-brand, GlacialPower is ready to launch a new model of high-power and high-efficient power supply unit – model named GP-AX950A, a 950 Watts energy efficient power supply unit. The GlacialPower GP-AX950A power supply is specially designed for high performance gaming PCs and even meets the Energy Star 80 plus Silver program requirements.
The unique design of GP-AX950A includes power factor correction (PFC) function enabling the CPUs to get right power as per the requirement. GP-AX950A is a 950 Watt powerhouse packed in standard-sized PSU enclosure. With this ATX12V Version 2.2., it enables the CPUs to manage the power consumption quickly for the high performance. For the gamers, especially in the racing games, there is a requirement of high-end and precision power supply, which GP-AX950A meets efficiently. Featured with Dual +12V rails and +5Vsb capability, the PSU is compatible with latest Intel and AMD CPUs. It is so reliable that with full throttle output of power, the temperature remains with in 0C to 50C making the PC fairly cool and generates lower decibel of noise, which provides peace of mind to the users. Beside the GP-AX950A design with Japanese Electronic-Capacitors to offer more longer life time and more reliable functions.

Cambridge, England-based chip company ARM announced today the development of two Cortex-A9 MPCore hard macro implementations for the TSMC 40nm-G process, enabling silicon manufacturers to have a rapid and low-risk route to silicon for high-performance, low-power Cortex-A9 processor-based devices. The speed-optimized hard macro implementation will enable devices to operate at frequencies greater than 2GHz. This chip is explicitly aimed at markets currently served by Intel's x86 chips and IBM's PowerPC.
In many thermally constrained applications such as set-top boxes, DTVs, printers and other feature-rich consumer and high-density enterprise applications, energy efficiency is of paramount importance. The Cortex-A9 power-optimized hard macro implementation delivers its peak performance of 4000 DMIPS while consuming less than 250mW per CPU when selected from typical silicon. The hard macro implementations include ARM AMBA-compliant high performance system components to maximize data traffic speed and minimize power consumption and silicon area. Each Cortex-A9 hard macro implementation also includes the CoreSight Program Trace Macrocell (PTM) which provides full visibility into the processors instruction flow, enabling the software community to develop code for optimal performance.
Intel has internally set a shipment goal of one million Lynnfield (Core i5 and i7) CPUs for desktops by the end of 2009, according to industry sources. Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology are expected to each ship 400,000 P55-based motherboards by year-end 2009, indicated the sources. Meanwhile, combined shipments of P55 boards from other motherboard makers including Micro-Star International (MSI), Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) and ASRock may total around 200,000 units, the sources estimated.
Joe, Hsieh, vice president of Asustek's motherboard business unit product marketing department, pointed out that the company expects to ship 5.5-6 million motherboards in the third quarter, six million units in the fourth, and 22 million units in total in 2009. P55-based motherboards will account for 10% of the annual shipments. Hsieh noted that Asustek's motherboard ASPs are 10-15% higher than its competitors' which should help the company maintain a gross margin of around 20%.

Intel i5-750 Socket 1156 Lynnfield Processor Review @ Tweaknews and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!
“Intel knows that most people will spring for the cheaper Lynnfield in most cases and enjoy a big upgrade for little money. It's hard to really point out anything wrong with this processor. It's cheap, its performance for the dollar is unrivaled in the industry and at last allows the consumer to upgrade above a socket 775 system without having to re-mortgage the house.”
