Gainward announces a 2GB GTX 460
If you’re on the lookout for a GTX460, you had two choices – the 768MB versions, or the 1GB variants. From our recent review, the 1GB versions, due to their increased memory bus width, outperformed the 768MB versions by quite a few percentage points.

MSI’s GeForce N470GTX & GTX 470 SLI

Intel's 50Gbps Silicon Photonics Link: The Future of Interfaces
Intel has been talking about using optical interfaces in computing for years. So much so, that silicon photonics sessions at IDF became a regular stop on our coverage tour each year. The demos were always showcasing something too far out in the development cycle to get immediately excited about however. The first time we met Intel’s hybrid laser in silicon was 2006, and even then we were told that it’d be years before we’d see it productized.
Four years later, and we’re seeing Intel make good on its promises of delivering the technology necessary to put together real products.
