CeBIT 2010 - Day Two coverageYesterday was the second full day of the 2010 CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany, and here's another round up of some of the highlights from the show floor.
In terms of graphics cards Sapphire had their latest 5970 based model on display, kitted out with 4GB of memory and an Arctic Cooling fan/heatsink it should provide some fantastic performance at the high end of the product stack while running at a lower temperature and noise level to every other air cooled card. Also on show was their micro-ATX AM3 board based on the 785G chipset, a fantastically flexible board for those wishing to build a powerful mini system. Then things got that little bit different with the news that Sapphire are working on a 10" netbook release but better still, how does a pocket sized VGA capable projector sound?
Hardware Heaven have the full coverage.

Intel bringing unlocked multiplier to a cheaper CPU?Anyone building a system based around an AMD CPU in recent years has been able to enjoy the ability to buy a processor with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking without breaking the bank - a stark contrast to Intel, who have kept such luxuries only for their ultra-expensive Extreme Edition offerings. Are there signs of a change in Intel's thinking regarding multiplier unlocking however? Certainly, it appears that we'll be getting a one-off unlocked, non-Extreme Edition CPU from the company if nothing else.
Tweakers.net quotes Intel's Steve Peterson, head of marketing for Intel's chipset division, who says that Intel plans to offer a limited edition Core i CPU with an unlocked clock multiplier. Peterson wouldn't provide specifics on which CPU would get the unlocked multiplier, Tweakers.net reckons it could be a Lynnfield (Core i5/Core i7) or Clarkdale (Core i3/Core i5) derivative. He also wouldn't say when Intel plans to offer such a CPU and how much it would sell for. He did say Intel would charge a premium for the chip though, although tweakers.net says it will only be "marginally" more expensive than the standard edition CPU.
Firing Squad has the story.

Demonstration of a six-monitor AMD Eyefinity configuration in actionWhile it went largely unnoticed alongside the Radeon HD 5830 launch, AMD also recently ramped up the introduction of their Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition, with the ability to support up to six monitors in an Eyefinity configuration. Can you imagine gaming on six High Definition LCD screens? You don't have to, as Hot Hardware have put together some early demonstrations of how it looks for you to drool over.
We should note that anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering were used in both games while running at 5760x2160. We can't tell you what the actual frame-ratres are just yet, but will be able to soon. For now enjoy the eye-candy. As you could see easily in the video however, both titles were totally playable with these high image quality settings enabled at this super high resolution.
Check out the details and a couple of videos of the Eyefinity 6 Edition in action right here.
