ARCTIC Freezer 13 CPU cooler announced

ARCTIC has unveiled the Freezer 13 CPU cooler, which the company believes will carry on the legacy of the renowned Freezer 7 Pro. The improved tower heatsink features four high-performance heat pipes and a 92mm variable speed fan for efficient and low noise CPU cooling. The maximum cooling capacity of this newly improved heatsink is rated at 200W; it can definitely handle the high heat loads from overclocked processors.

A layer of ARCTIC MX-4, the latest thermal compound by ARCTIC, has been pre-applied to the base. The four U-shaped heat pipes are soldered to an array of 45 aluminum fins for efficient heat dissipation. The ultra-quiet 92mm PWM fan operates between 600rpm and 2000rpm.

ARCTIC's custom mounting mechanism makes installing the Freezer 13 both easy and fast. The mechanism uses custom push-pins; you do not need to remove the motherboard to install the heatsink. The same mechanism can be used across various platforms from both Intel and AMD. The Freezer 13 is 'transport-proof' and can withstand accidental hard knocks, as the mounting bracket is fibre reinforced.

ARCTIC claims the Freezer 13 outperforms other coolers in the market at the same price point. At an MSRP of US$35.90 / €27.60 (excl. VAT), it is an attractive solution for gamers, overclockers and PC enthusiasts. The Freezer 13 comes with a 6 year limited warranty and will be available in late October 2010.

ARM chips found in 95 percent of cellphones

Whether or not you’re still a PC kind of guy or a converted mobile renaissance man, there’s no denying that Intel has some work to do if it wants to remain the dominant force in consumer CPUs. The Wintel partnership that seemed unbreakable for a decade or so doesn’t look as strong anymore. Why? Blame the mobile goodness that is ARM, and it is indeed good.

Take for instance, Microsoft’s upcoming tablet, and let’s question why Microsoft decided to launch an ARM Surface first. Why not release a lower tier Surface tablet paired with an ULV Intel chip instead? Because an Intel chip costs several more bones than an ARM-based chip, and of course the battery life thing.

Cost and efficiency, two of the most important attributes when it comes to selecting any piece of hardware, both of which are qualities that ARM chips have. Sure, there are instances where an Android/iOS device overheats or has poor battery life, but the number speaks for itself. More than ninety-five percent of cellphones today currently has an ARM chip.

Look, if Microsoft is going to give you a ‘premium’ Windows RT tablet for $200, that’s just begging people to lineup in front of a sweatshop to pick one up. Microsoft is adding to the ARM wildfire, during a time when Intel is slipping in the mobile department.

ARM has managed to wrap itself around the mobile sector, and at the same time wreck the marital bliss that is Wintel.

Intel is a giant in the industry, and there’s no doubt that it will launch more campaigns to wiggle itself into the mobile market. The Intel-backed Ultrabook campaign has seen some success, but then again it’s hard to turn down a $200 Surface tablet pre-loaded with an office suite.

Who can really blame Microsoft for buying a hot and sexy ARM a drink or two, or is it the other way around. Well, it doesn’t really matter either way. ARM and Microsoft isn’t having a one night stand, and while Intel is still the first lady, ARM is the mistress that has something more to offer than just a personality.

Apple could have display issues with iPad 3

Apple could have some display issues with its new third-generation iPad, such as supply shortages and a huge battery drain, according to analysts at DisplaySearch.

The retina display is without doubt the main feature of the iPad 3, or “new iPad” as it is officially called, but the enhanced clarity and higher resolution do not come without a price.DisplaySearch said that doubling the pixel density means a significantly smaller aperture ratio, which requires a brighter backlight. To compensate for this the iPad 3 features at least twice as many LEDs at the 36 employed in the iPad 2.The problem with this is that it uses a lot more power. While Apple has added a larger and more powerful battery, and promised that it can run for up to 10 hours, the same time as an iPad 2, DisplaySearch analysts believe that this battery was employed to address the higher power usage of the A5X chip, not the additional LEDs. This could mean that, despite Apples promises, the iPad 3 will have lower battery life than previous models.DisplaySearch also highlighted the fact that the iPad 3s 264ppi display is significantly less than the iPhone 4s 326ppi, a fact which might disappoint some users.Another problem, which will undoubtedly be a big issue given the popularity of Apple devices, is the potential that that the Cupertino, California-based company might find it difficult to get enough supply. DisplaySearch found that Sharp, Samsung and LG Display, all of which make the panels, have had some difficulty achieving the 264ppi density on an a-Si TFT display. Whether or not these can be pumped out in the quantity that Apple will want or need remains to be seen.The iPad 3 goes on sale on 16 March.

ASUS Explains Marine Cool Board Features

ASUS, the world’s leading producer of motherboards, has unveiled its new Marine Cool concept motherboard. Eschewing traditional materials, this motherboard boasts a revolutionary technology—dubbed the Ceramic-Metal Thermal Module—that utilizes two different materials (ceramics and metals) to double cooling efficiency and thus allow it to work even in the most demanding of usage environments like high humidity and heat. Sporting a color scheme with gun-metal gray and metallic military-green highlights, together with a heatsink styled after a rugged military armored vehicle (symbolizing sturdiness and reliability), the overall design exudes a feeling of military-grade technology and reliability. Additionally, this motherboard features Onboard UPS—a built-in polymer battery for extra backup power and a server-standard Failover Memory design to help sustain system boot-up.

Aerospace-grade Thermal Dissipating Technology

The ASUS Marine Cool motherboard features a unique design that incorporates advanced thermal innovations in the utilization of ceramics and metals. On the front of the motherboard, a metal heatpipe module provides exceptional heat transference and dissipation for core components. Located on the back of the motherboard and set flush with the PCB, the Ceramic Backplate makes full use of a revolutionary micro-porous ceramic technology to provide a larger surface area—helping to effectively convey heat from the motherboard PCB and deliver highly effective heat dissipation. Together, this revolutionary thermal design is able to improve thermal efficiency by up to 2 times!

Onboard UPS for Sustained Power and Protection

The Marine Cool motherboard also features Onboard UPS—a built-in polymer battery that serves as an extra backup power supply that activates when a power failure is detected. This helps to avert damage dealt to onboard components, loss of critical files and data corruption due to inconsistent and fluctuating power caused during unexpected blackouts.

Failover Memory

To provide even further support for operation sustainability, the server-standard Failover Memory design on the Marine Cool motherboard utilizes built-in memory to help continue system boot-up in the event of errors to add-on memory. When the PC is switched on, Failover Memory guarantees that the system will boot, regardless of incompatible or faulty memory.

Arctic Freezer 7 LP Cooler For HTPC Users

Most small chassis users find it difficult to buy a suitable coolerreplacement that fits the size of their PC case. As a leader in innovative, lownoise and high performance PC coolers, ARCTIC COOLING today unveiled the Freezer7 LP, a cutting edge Intel CPU cooler especially designed for media centre usersto fulfill their needs.

Slim Beauty
The revolutionary heatsink design of the Freezer 7 LP reduces the size of thecooler dramatically, leaving it only 42mm slim (to the air intake level) / 53mm(with fan holder) and 263g light, almost half the size of usual CPU coolers.With this ultra thin dimension, the Freezer 7 LP easily fits into any smallchassis with limited space.

Freeze and Breeze
Apart from its lightweight and low profile design, the Freezer 7 LP alsoperforms excellent cooling execution. Two heatpipes, 40 fins and an 80mm PWM fandissipate heat from the CPU core efficiently and rapidly. Together with thehighly thermal conductive pre-applied MX-2 thermal paste and voltage regulatorcooling, the Freezer 7 LP is 15% cooler than the generic low profile cooler,giving media centre users an unexpected cooling experience.

The Art of Silence
Like other ARCTIC COOLING products, low noise impellers and patented fan holderare used to minimize the noise level. Even though spinning at full load, theFreezer 7 LP generates only 0.3 Sone of noise – 66% quieter than the Intel lowprofile cooler.

The Freezer 7 LP is widely compatible with Intel Socket LGA775. It offers a6-year limited warranty and will be available by mid-May 2008. The MSRP is US$27.95 / 17,95 € (excl VAT).

ASUS expected to launch Tegra 3-powered tablets this year

It is only recently that mobile communication devices such as smartphone and tablets have started adopting the use of NVIDIAs Tegra 2 SoC for their processing needs, but even then, it would appear that some OEMs may have already gotten a head start over their competitors where future versions of the Tegra SoC may be concerned.

Apparently, word has it that ASUS is currently well on its way in developing at least three more tablet PCs this year. According to a report posted by DIGITIMES, the Taiwanese OEM has plans for a 10-inch Eee Pad Slider EP102 and seven-inch Eee Pad MeMo EP71 in the next three months, but it is the third and unnamed tablet that has gotten our attention. This is because the report claims that the unnamed tablet will be making use of NVIDIAs Tegra 3 SoC, which has been touted as the worlds first SoC to posses a quad-core CPU.

As most people probably know by now, the Tegra 3 SoC, when released, will probably be the most powerful SoC to grace the insides of a tablet or smartphone. However, the SoC is slated only for a Fall 2011 release, whereasASUS is gearing up for a May-July launch for its tablets. If we take into consideration that the Tegra 3-powered version will probably be released a couple of months later in order to give the EP102 and EP71 some shelf time on the market, an August or September launch for a Tegra3 tablet puts it right in sync with NVIDIAs official release date, which suggests that ASUS may have secured launch partner rights for Tegra 3s release.

No pricing about either tablet has been revealed, although DIGITIMES claims that the EP102 will be powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, while the EP71 will use a Qualcomm CPU.
