Despite the fact that AMD initially scheduled the official release of FX-8300 for 29 December, this CPU can already be found in some Japanese retail stores. Such sudden appearance in free sale allows all potential consumers to get assured in all claimed specifications. Thus, FX-8300 is an eight-core chip of the new generation that is characterized by 95W TDP level. This is a kind of a breakthrough, since its Vishera companions, FX-8350 and FX-8320, consume up to 125W power.
The reduction of power consumption is explained by the decrease of CPU clock frequencies and nominal voltage showings. Hence, the nominal clock frequency recorded with this CPU model makes up 3.3GHz, while in Turbo mode the frequency rises to 3.6GHz. Some resources state that FX-8300 is able to overclock up to 4.2GHz, however, this info is not vindicated so far. This chip is developed specifically for Socket AM3+.
Taking into account such parameters, analysts feel difficulty in predicting the future of …
The most favourable method of attracting customers is offering products with the best functionality, overclocking potential and the retail price. This approach was used in the design of the motherboard MSI Z77A-GD80, designed to work with processors Intel LGA1155. The apparent competitive advantage of the new interface is the support of the newest Thunderbolt.
MSI Z77A-GD80 comes in a large cardboard box on the front side of which, in addition to the model name and logos of many compatible technologies, there is information about the support of the latest high-speed standard Thunderbolt. Logo Military Class III indicates using the design of the motherboard of electronic components with a high level of reliability.
The back of the pack contains detailed information about original features of MSI Z77A-GD80, such as automatic overclocking OC Genie II, the OSD firmware Click BIOS II and Support Multi BIOS II, which allows switching between the primary and backup chips with the …
AMD is continuing its work on the new GPU generation codenamed ‘Sea Islands’. The new series is prognosticated to be released in the coming winter. All the products with this GPU will be branded Radeon 8000. AMD manufacturers claim that their new graphic processing units will be 40% more efficient due to the implemented advanced technologies. There is not so much news about the future GPU architecture, although cardinal changes are barely possible.
Sea Islands chips will be equipped with 5.1 billion transistors as compared with the current 4.3 billion items applied in the products. This augmentation will facilitate the increment of efficiency. The chips will be developed according to the already tried-and-proven 28 nm technological requirements. The increase of transistors is not as large due to the adherence to the ascribed norms. It should be underlined that the implementation of the old technologies does not imply the considerable warming up of the chips; the developments …
Choose a model of your Toshiba PCI devices out of 54321 items in the list. Our inventory includes approximately 654963 free drivers which you can download trouble-free.
Bus I/o PCI is one of the most common tools for connecting peripherals to the computer motherboard. As a rule, full-length motherboard has at its disposal up to seven slots of this standard that allows you to connect a corresponding number of devices for various purposes: expansion card, network cards, host controllers, modems, drive controllers, sound cards and graphics adapters.
From the user's point of view PCI-hardware is plug and play, thanks to the Plug-and-Play. Immediately after connection of the computer software examines the configuration of a charge/controller/adapter and configures it to work. If the OS cannot determine the type of the connected card, which means that you need to update or download drivers for PCI devices.
Bus PCI has its bits: 2.0, 3.0, PCI-X, mini-PCI, PCIExpress, mini-PCIExpress. Most modern peripheral devices support one of the last two digits. This is due to their extremely high speed and rich functionality. So, bus PCIExpress allows you to do hot swapping of cards to control the integrity of the transmitted data, and to control the power consumption of the connected devices.
Meanwhile, the standard bus mini-PCIExpress is designed to work with portable equipment that requires special drivers for PCI devices. In the list of compatible hardware includes modems, GSM, receivers, GPS, motherboard Wi-Fi, maps, Wi-MAX, SSD drives, controllers, connect SATAdevices, controllers connect USBdevices, SMBus, controllers, COMports, the findings for indicator LEDs, etc.
