We all remember how Nvidia bragged about three hundred Ivy Bridge and Kepler design wins. Well, the first Ivy Bridge notebook on sale was using an AMD GPU and many of Nvidia’s Ivy Bridge design wins are, in fact, Fermi-based, not Kepler. Asus reportedly briefly unveiled some small details about its new Zenbook ... |

It looks like Intel's Ivy Bridge central processing units are not wasting any time showing up in new computers, even the type that aren't all that often spoken of.
One of the third-generation CPUs, which we have covered here, has become the driving force behind the VPX3-1257 single-board computer (SBC).

NVIDIA and its partners will probably have GeForce GTX 580 graphics boards up for sale for quite some time, but that's only because there is still some supply of them.
According to SweClockers, the Santa Clara, California-based company has decided to stop making new models.
Of course, with so many next-gener... |

Though astronomers know that as much as one fifth of all stars in the Milky Way may exist in binary systems, they are still having a hard time finding the more obscure pairs. In a recent study, a fortuitous discovery may have just highlighted a new method of searching for such hidden stellar pairs.
A binary is a sy... |
