GIGABYTE GA-GC330UD Mini-ITX – Dual Core Atom Tested @ TweakTown and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“First generation Atom processors were based around a very simple x86 core with a 512K L2 cache designed to focus on power savings rather than raw speed. The N270 clocked at 1.6GHz was able to do a very good job for many companies in their Nettops and Netbooks. Power consumption was reduced significantly, but the problem was that more demand was being placed on the core than it could keep up with. Even simple video play back would cause problems if you attempted to do any multi-tasking on them and HD video playback? Don't even bother trying. Neither the CPU nor the IGP could handle the amount of cycles needed for decoding.

Atom has now got a boost to its design. Originally it was designed with a single core using hyper threading; the same technology Pentium 4 used to turn a single physical core into two logical processors. But it still wasn't enough. It seems that there is no real substitute for a true second core. Atom 330 is Intel's answer to a dual core low power CPU based around the Atom architecture.”

Thinking of using those newfound hacking skills to engage in nefarious behavior? Think again. Albert Gonzalez is a name that’ll go down in hacking history, but it’s not for anything positive. After being charged with stealing some 130 million credit and debit card numbers, Albert plead guilty to previous data-theft charges in New York and Massachusetts. His penalty? Aside from dealing with a stream of media coverage, he’ll be forced to cough up $1.65 million in assets. Oh, and then there’s a little thing called

Don’t look now, but it seems as if PC sales are on the up and up. While GPU makers, PC builders and basically every other related company in the industry suffered through the first two quarters as the recession loomed, Dell’s latest figures are showing a sign of light in the darkness. Out of nowhere, the Texas-based outfit reported that its profits stooped less than it had expected during the May through July period, and just so we’re clear, we did say profit. Any profit is good these days, and the company’s

A few weeks ago, in early August, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski declared that the FCC viewed the creation of a national broadband policy as integral to the future of of the nation. Broadband, according to Genachowski, is “our generation’s infrastructure challenge…It is as important as electricity and highways were for past generations.” Now that the first round of requests for broadband stimulus funding have been tallied, Genachowski will have to prove if he actually meant what he said. According to a recent

This is more AMD bragging than anything else, but with all the questions arising over Snow Leopard incompatibilities, it’s great to hear some news regarding–well–compatibilities. Alongside the outfit’s new Opteron EE CPU, it’s also proclaiming that its ATI Radeon HD 4800 series graphics devices are fully compatible with OS X 10.6In fact, AMD asserts that these cards–which are found in select iMac and Mac Pro configurations–complements Snow Leopard’s fully compliant OpenCL Version 1.0 implementation. In case

The Thecus M3800 NAS device was designed to be your total media storage and playback solution. Featuring HDMI, component, and AV out, the M3800 can play digital content directly through your existing home theater system. The M3800 supports multiple file formats including WMV9 and VC-1, and even supports 1080P for playback on today's high-definition displays.

Slowly but surely, cloud and dense computing environments are becoming more and more popular. With services such as Apple’s MobileMe and Google’s own application suite living on the web, it’s not hard to see why these tactics are becoming more pervasive. And wouldn’t you know it–AMD is chomping at the bit to make sure it gets in on the bandwagon early. Today, the company is introducing the immediate availability of the new six-core Opteron EE processor at 40W ACP. Designed specifically to provide plenty of

Lenovo’s W700ds proved that having multiple screens on a notebook wasn’t completely infeasible, though the lackluster response to it simultaneously proved that there’s not too much pent-up demand out there for such a device. Sure, it’s a novel concept, but the incredible expense and the added weight puts most prospective buyers off. All that said, there’s always room for one more rival to try and tweak things within a niche in hopes of making something mainstream, and that’s exactly what gScreen is looking to
