AMD dropped off some fresh TWKR Black Edition Phenom II chips over at MainGear PC a couple weeks ago and it seems they have posted an update about these new mystery processors. AMD didnt tell them much about the new mysterious CPU other than it should overclock really well and are essentially hand picked and binned Phenom II X4 955 processors. Our sources inside AMD informed us that these TWKR edition processors are meant for extreme overclocking as the core of the CPU has high leakage, which is what is more desirable for overclocking. These high-leakage chips are best used with LN2 and phase change cooling in order to reach their full potential. No word on pricing, but we can expect these to be priced more than the Phenom II X4 955 if they come out retail and those processors run $245 shipped.

As I was getting ready to post this information up this morning, I received an e-mail from AMD informing me that disclosing information detailing the speeds and test results of the TWKR chip would be in violation of our mutual NDA. I apologize for this teaser post instead. It seems that AMD does have a plan for this product after all. I will be able to disclose a full report after June 30th. What I can tell you is that the TWKR chip does OC beyond the limits of the 955 BE cpu.

Strengthening its external storage portfolio for small business Seagate today announced three additional BlackArmor product offerings: the BlackArmor NAS 220 storage server, the BlackArmor WS 110 external drive workstation and the BlackArmor PS 110 portable drive.

Kingston Technology Company today announced it is shipping its HyperX 1600MHz triple-channel kits with the high-profile T1 heatspreaders. The 1600MHz frequency is a sweet spot amongst gamers, and combining it with the popular T1 heatspreaders gives enthusiasts a performance advantage through improved heat diffusion while overclocking and gaming.

The new 1600MHz kit (Kingston part #: KHX12800D3T1K3/6GX) is available now for $155.00 (U.S. MSRP). It joins a growing family of HyperX memory solutions that employ the T1 heatspreaders which are made of heavy-duty aluminum with extended fins. Other T1 kits include triple-channel DDR3 (2GHz, 1866MHz) and dual-channel DDR2 (1066MHz, 800MHz).

Reacting to users demands for portable, high speed storage, Walton Chaintech has announced its new APOG Pronto eSATA drive. Modeled after APOGs award-winning SSD design, the Pronto uses the eSATA port instead of the USB 2.0 port for its file transfers. When we reviewed the OCZ Throttle at the beginning of the year we found that eSATA Flash drives were much faster than USB 2.0 devices.

The APOG Pronto eSATA has dualistic connectors, supporting both the eSATA and USB ports. This flexibility allows users to use the Pronto as a simple high capacity storage device, while also supporting read/write speeds of 90/50MB/s respectively, about three times faster than conventional flash pen drives. Available in 32G and 64G capacities, the Pronto supports users to store a multitude of different file types, from multimedia to office documents or any combination of both.

For everyone looking to hop the next commercial flight to space, your departure gate has finally been announced. Almost two years after the first plans were announced, construction has finally begun on Spaceport America. The spaceport, which will serve as the launch and landing pad for Virgin Galactic flights, is the first of its kind anywhere in the world, and represents the first serious commitment of infrastructure to manned commercial spaceflight.

Currently, Virgin Galactic only has two space ships, so it will probably be sometime before the facility experiences O'Hare and LaGuardia level traffic. So now might be the best time to sign up for a flight, before Spaceport America starts experiencing the soul-crushing delays that keep John Grisham, Hudson News, and Brookstone in business.

Microsoft has confirmed that the Nvidia “Tegra” chip is inside the upcoming Zune HD, a big win for Nvidia. This was reported earlier at Engadget and follows reports earlier last week. Legit Reviews got some face time with Tegra one year ago this month, so be sure to check out our coverage of Tegra here.

Tegra is the first processor Nvidia has built for power-frugal handheld devices, a major departure from the large, power-hungry graphics processors that it sells to the gaming rig and workstation markets. The system-on-a-chip (SOC) uses less than 0.5 watts of power, an attribute the main Tegra processor inherits from its power-stingy ARM parentage. (And a tiny fraction of the 50-watt-plus ratings of the chipmaker's desktop graphics silicon.) The defining feature of the Tegra SOC, however, is the Nvidia GeForce graphics chip.
