NVIDIA Fermi Details
Fermi next generation GF100 GPU is not here yet. Nope, we do not have hardware. But NVIDIA has given us an in-depth look at the specifics behind the architecture as it relates to gaming. NVIDIA certainly remembered us gamers and the fact that we like lots and lots of polygons. LINK (http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/01/17/nvidias_fermi_gf100_facts_opinions) The first chip was a raster unit that featured around 1 million transistors, and it included a triangle setup engine. The second chip was a texture chip, and it also was around the 1 million transistor mark. These two chips ran at 50 MHz (though it was easy to overclock them to a blazing 57 MHz). This was simply gaming nirvana in 1996. Games such as Mechwarrior 2 showed off how good true 3D graphics could look, even at 640x480 by 16 bit graphics.

What you haven’t seen and what we’ll be focusing on today, is what we’ve learned about GF100 as a gaming GPU. We now know everything about what makes GF100 tick, and we’re going to share it all with you. LINK (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=372)

Intel Core i5 661 3.33 GHz
With their new Clarkdale processors Intel is the first one to take this race to the users and take it out of the shadows, but the finish line is still far away and there is much to be done before we can declare the winner, but nevertheless, a new breed of processors is here with all of its hi-tech features... and flaws.

HP EliteBook tablet possibly slated for spring refresh
HP may finally have an update for its older EliteBook tablet in store, as an inadvertent post by Michigan's Mercy High School has potentially spoiled the PC builder's plans. This school is planning a computer bundle that will give students an EliteBook 2740p tablet despite knowing the system won't ship until spring. Other than confirming that it will remain a pro notebook, the EliteBook doesn't get additional hardware details.

Dual GF100 Fermi should come in April
Single-chip Fermi and the card codenamed GF100 should launch in March. This should be the launch time frame and a dual-chip version might follow in one month after the official single-chip launches. This is roughly the plan as it will take some time to prepare this dual headed beast, especially since Fermi will be the hottest chip in Nvidia's history.
