Corsair Expands Force SSD Line
When Corsair launched its Force series of SSDs a few months back, the only varieties were a 100 and a 200GB. Now, the company is seeing fit to expand that line by offering three new sizes which are a 60, a 120, and a 240GB. All three new models are based on the SandForce SF-1200 controller with each offering a maximum read speed of 285MB/second and a write speed of 275MB/s. These should be just as fast as the 100 and 200GB models and now you have some more variety in which size you want to get. No word on pricing was announced but expect it to be forthcoming with the new units shipping next month.

Apple Selling More iPads than Macs
Apple has been raking in the success of its iPad, but would you imagine that it is selling more iPads than Macs? That seems to be just the case currently, as an analyst from RBC Capital Markets estimates that Apple is selling about 220,000 iPads a week compared to 110,000 Macs a week. Astonishing numbers really, but the iPhone is still the leading product for Apple with 246,000 sold a week. Remember, these are just estimates and not set in stone sales figures, but if it holds true, you have to wonder what Apple can do to boost sales of Macs. I think we will all know for sure exactly how many of which product Apple has sold the most at its upcoming conference, but still, if the iPad is that successful, it makes you wonder what Apple will do about its Mac lineup.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 Specs
BSN* are reporting what they claim to be the final specifications for the upcoming NVIDIA GTX 465 reference card, which will feature a further cut down version of the GF100 chip used in the GTX 470 and 480. GPU dies that didn't shape up to performance levels necessary for the those higher end cards had further SM units disabled to provide GPUs for GTX 465 cards. The final specs are being reported as 352 CUDA cores clocked at the same 1215MHz used for the GTX 470 (which has 448 cores). That also means the Graphics Clock remains at 607MHz for the GTX 465, while the memory controller takes a step down to 256-bit with 1024MB of memory running at 801MHz QDR, for total bandwidth of 102.6GB/s (compared to 133.9GB/s on GTX 470 and 177.4GB/s for the GTX 480).
What is slightly surprising is that the PCB length will supposedly come in longer than that of the GTX 470 reference card, but shorter than the GTX 480. The presence of two 6-pin PCIe power connectors give the card the same potential maximum TDP as the GTX 470 at 225W, but you can expect the actual figure to come in below that. That available power may also be promising in terms of overclocking performance. Reports are pointing to early June (possibly the 1st) for the GTX 465 release, with good numbers of cards supposedly available at launch. Pricing is expected to be around $249 / €269. Rumors of a GTX 460 card following in July have also surfaced, though details on that are considerably more obscure.

Froyo Announced At I/O
With the Android 2.2 update, Google is bringing in Froyo, which makes the system much faster overall due mainly to a just-in-time complier. This alone brings a two to five time improvement in system performance. Other features that have been added include better Exchange integration along with a new backup feature that allows transferring of personal data to a new device. Wi-Fi tethering is also being brought in from the update, and Google is even claiming the worlds fastest web browser title in a new JavaScript based browser for Android. More information can be found around the web for Froyo, including here, where screenshots can be found as well.
