While Gigabyte put in the effort of making a non-reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 graphics adapter, with a faster GPU and different cooler, most others of NVIDIA's partners did what Zotac did. Which is to say, they didn't change anything about the adapter. They have only put it in a different box and sent... |

The other day, we introduced, or rather Micro-Star International introduced, the first gaming laptop powered by an AMD A10-series accelerated processing unit. Now we have another world's first notebook to examine. MSI has launched the GT70 gaming notebook, which has the full name of MSI GT70 Dragon Edition 2. ... |

Micro Star International's GX70 notebook is a relatively recent addition to the market of gaming PCs, but it is still something not altogether new, just like the GX60 can easily be considered old news.
Thus, adding AMD's A10-series Richland accelerated processing units (APUs) to their list of supported ce... |

Just like an HP notebook specification sheet has revealed the traits of several AMD APUs, an MSI motherboard CPU support list has named a chip called A8-6500B.
The name of the mainboard from Micro-Star International is MSI FM2-A75IA-E53.
The A8-6500B is a Richland processor with four cores, 4 MB of L2 cache memor... |

Advanced Micro Devices may have just revealed the new Never Settle Level Up game bundle, but that doesn't mean that all the video boards based on its chips will start to ship with free games.

Factory-overclocked video cards are a common sight, so I didn't exactly bat an eye to the newest one that Micro-Star International revealed.
Long story short, it is a faster and better-cooled version of the Radeon HD 7790 from Advanced Micro Devices. And it has a stronger PCB too.
The MSI R7790-2GD5/OC, more c... |

People may be misled by reviews and reports into thinking that just because AMD stopped competing directly with Intel on the high-end CPU market, it doesn't have high-end CPUs or APUs at all. Naturally, this is not the case. AMD's A-Series, especially the upcoming Richland collection of accelerated proces... |

Last month, NVIDIA offered the first teaser of its upcoming flagship motherboard based on the Z87 Lynx Point chipset. There was even a video of the product, though it didn't really reveal much. It wouldn't have been a teaser if it had. I hoped the next time I saw the motherboard would be in a true press r... |

Micro-Star International has just made the rather odd claim that it has released the first 27-inch gaming all-in-one PC in the world.
