Sony challenges Apple with 20GB player

Sony Electronics will begin selling two hard-drive music players this fall which, combined with its new music download service, will create an iPod-like parallel universe. The consumer electronics giant announced two products late Wednesday: the $400 20GB Network Walkman NW-HD1 and the $500 40GB Vaio Pocket VGF-AP1L. Both players will be available in fall for use with the Sony Connect music download service, which was launched in May. The devices and the service will make Sony the latest to compete with Apple Computer's iPod and iTunes products. Sony's belated arrival compares poorly with its historical leadership position in the portable music player business, said Susan Kevorkian, an analyst with research firm IDC. Read more at CNET

Samsung SyncMaster 172x Review

Ten years ago, purchasing a flat panel display for use with a PC could be considered crazy or ludicrous. Incredibly high prices for panels that performed poorly made them a novelty for the rich only and a candidate only for laptops. Fast forward to 2004: flat panel sales are accelerating and have surpassed that of their bulky CRT counterparts. Prices have plummeted to that of CRTs years ago. Performance, while not quite approaching that of CRTs, has become much less of an issue because they now can keep up (and often exceed) that of human eyes. Samsung, a forerunner in the LCD field, has taken the initiative and sent us one of their premier displays: the SyncMaster 172x. read more

Intel, ASUS Ceased Partnership

ASUSTeK Computer, the world’s largest maker of mainboards, and Intel, the world’s largest manufacturer of microprocessors and supporting products, have possibly broken their partnership in the field of making mainboards. To support its mainboard manufacturing, Intel Corp. inked a deal with Wistron, according to reports from DigiTimes and Economic Daily News. While Intel has tremendous plans in the mainboards market, the company does not have its own facilities to make this type of products. As a result, the Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker outsourced production to Asian-based mainboard makers. ASUS has been producing mainboards for Intel for quite some time now, but the partnership might come to its end after Intel signed a deal with Wistron. Full article at Xbit-Labs

RV480 PCI Express in Q4?

The Inquirer have an interesting article on ATI's plan to release their 'RV480 PCI Express' card later this year... ATI said before that 2005 is the time for shader model 3.0 and that would mean that the new R500 chip will have this amongst other nice features. One good question is how much ATI can increase the speed of the chip as the Radeon X800XT Platinum works at 525MHz. We would like to remind you that R423 is 0.13µ (microns) and that this architecture stops at 60 MHz and even if the R480 is 0.11µ, which is not beyond the realms of possibility, it would still have speed limitations.

CPU Scaling ATI’s and NVIDIA’s Best

[H]ardOCP has a new article that looks at how well ATi and Nvidia latest video cards perform on different platforms and at different CPU speeds. In those reviews we concentrated on finding the best gaming experience that each card provides on one test platform. We used an ABIT IC7-G with a Pentium 4 3.4GHz “C” processor. One thing we have been asked about a lot recently is how these video cards perform across different platforms and levels of CPU speeds.

Hybrid DVD/CDs in UK

Sony Music International is deciding whether to test-launch DualDisc DVD/CD hybrids in the UK following a successful trial in the US and the formal approval of the format by the DVD Forum. DualDisc essentially involves sticking a CD onto the back of the DVD Video or DVD Audio disc. The CD Audio layer is thinner than a Compact Disc, to ensure the DualDisc falls within the DVD specification thickness of 1.5mm. DualDisc was devised as a way of adding backward compatibility to new audio disc format. For the labels, that allows them to ship a single product rather than separate DVD Audio and CD releases, and ensures consumers can build second-generation audio collections before they switch to new hardware.

Sierra Gets Shutdown

The lights go out at old-school game company, Sierra, as Vivendi restructures its business. More depressing news for the industry, Vivendi Universal Games has cut 350 staff and shut down Seattle-based Sierra. The venerable games company created some of the most popular action and adventure games in the 80's. The Sierra brand will live on in name only and projects tied to the Sierra pipeline, Half-Life 2, Ground Control II and Tribes: Vengeance are already being developed by other teams within Vivendi. Also affected by the restructuring, the Hoyle brand of card and board games have been canceled. "Restructuring the organization and reducing our cost base are necessary to improve our operating effectiveness and profitability," said VU Games CEO Bruce Hack, in as terse a manner as possible. "This constitutes another important step in our turnaround plan aimed to better position the company for growth." Along with VU Games restructuring, the game company is prepping up for profitability with a powerful lineup for the second half of 2004. VU Games is looking for some higher revenues with titles like World of Warcraft, Spyro: A Hero's Tail and the well-received The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Source: Gigex

NVIDIA SLI Article

Hardware Analysis have an interesting article up about 'SLI'... The dual PCI-E-x16 motherboard however will mean a significant investment, two PCI-E GeForce 6800GT cards could however make more sense than a single PCI-E GeForce 6800 Ultra or Ultra Extreme, as the performance increase will be much larger. Also, workstation motherboards run at a hefty price premium over consumer products, fortunately they do not require dual Xeons, a single Xeon will work just as well. All in all Nvidia's SLI implementation brings back fond memories of the 3dfx days and has all the right ingredients to once again revolutionize 3D graphics provided you're willing and able to pay the hefty price tag associated with it. Unlike Voodoo2 there's no simple upgrade to double your 3D performance; apart from a second PCI-E GeForce 6800 you'll need a new motherboard, memory and CPU(s). That doesn't do much to dampen our spirits though, the best 3D performance available comes at a price much like driving a Porsche or Ferrari and it doesn't come cheap. Kudos to Nvidia for once again raising the bar and making the harts of many gamers rejoice; SLI is back, and with a vengeance. Full Article

XBOX 2 Specs, No Hoax

According to various sources it looks like the recent leaked Xbox 2 specs can be believed... Apparently, the CPU will also feature anti-piracy and anti-hacking security technology on the die, along with 1MB of shared L2 cache - up from the schematic's claim that there would be 512KB of L2 - and 64KB of L1 cache per core split 50:50 for instructions and data. Each core is enabled for simultaneous multi-threading - the ability to convince the host OS it's two cores rather than one. In other words, the OS - derived, says the document, from Windows NT - sees six logical cores rather than three physical ones. Each core is said to be able to issue two instructions per clock, which is fewer than the PowerPC 970/G5's five. The document also mentions "128 vector (VMX) registers", when the G5, for example, has a single register file containing space for 32 architected registers and 48 renameable registers 128-bit vector instructions.

XBOX 2 not Backward Compatible?

Microsoft's Xbox 2 console will not be backwardly compatible with the current version, sources close to the company claim. Backwards compatibility has, arguably, been crucial to Sony's success in the console arena, so it was always assumed that Xbox 2 would play Xbox 1 titles. That assumption was challenged when it emerged that the second-generation Xbox would be based on PowerPC rather than x86 technology, but Microsoft's acquisition of x86-on-PowerPC emulation software Virtual PC was thought to provide the software giant with a way to embrace an entirely new - and theoretically less hackable - hardware architecture while retaining that oh-so-important Xbox 1 software base. Well, it's not as important as all that it seems. According to a GamesIndustry.biz report citing sources close to the Xbox 2 development project, the new console will not support old Xbox games.
