GeForce GTS 450 specs now fully known
It seems that everything that can be seen regarding the upcoming Nvidia GF106 based GTS 450 card has already been seen. First there were drawings of the PCB, then the clock speeds and pictures of the GPU, but one thing that eluded the press lines was the number of CUDA cores inside this GF106 GPU. Website Heise.de managed to score that number as well and according to their sources, GTS 450 will run with 192 CUDA cores active. So the upcoming Nvidia GTS 450 card is based on the 40nm GF106 GPU and has a die area of around 240 mm2. The GPU has 192 CUDA cores and works at 789MHz for the GPU, 1566MHz for CUDA shaders, and 3608MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.

Cooler Master USNA 95: A Powerful and Small Notebook Charger
It was in November last year when we presented SNA 95 (Reviews/Notebooks/Cooler-Master-SNA-95.html), the predecessor of the device we’re reviewing today that got fairly good reviews at the time. We first spotted its inheritor at CES in Las Vegas, but the version we saw back then was still in its early development stages, whereas the CEBIT one was already close to the final version, almost identical to the one we have in front of ourselves, and the one that we have had to wait for a bit longer than expected.
