Zotac launches GTX 400 AMP! series
Zotac has officially launched its GTX 400 AMP! series of graphics cards, and in addition to the expected factory overclock, Zotac has also decided to use an impressive non-reference dual-fan cooler as well. Both the GTX 470 AMP! and the GTX 480 AMP! will be using the same Zalman VF3000 dual-fan cooler. Back when it was announced the VF3000 had support for ATI HD 5000, 4000 and 3000 series cards as well as support for Nvidia's Geforce 9 and 200 series, but it looks like it works nice on the Geforce 400 series as well. It features a pure copper based and heatpipes paired up with pure aluminium fin heatsink cooled by two 92mm fans.

Intel releases six new ULV processors
It seems that 32 is Intel's big number these days, because the company has launched a new line of ultra low voltage processors: all six parts are manufactured in 32 nanometers, they are 32 percent smaller than their predecessors, and are claimed to deliver at least 32 percent more performance. Despite higher performance, TDPs and power consumption have stayed very low, thanks to the 32nm process and the inclusion of integrated graphics in the chip package.
