Report: AMD A-Series Lineup Detailed
vr-zone.com -
Not long after their revelation of AMD's FX-Series lineup, Xbitlabs has now published the preliminary A-Series list. The first A-Series APUs will be released in Q3 2011, rumoured to be July 2011, in total 6 APUs. There will be a minor refresh in Q4 2011, adding 5 more APUs - presumably a minor speed bump and on maybe a newer stepping. The A-Series consists of three lines - A8, A6 and A4. A8 is the fully unlocked Llano APU with 4 Husky x86 cores with 400 SP Beavercreak graphics - branded Radeon HD 6550, with a core clock of 594 MHz. Each core contains 1MB L2 cache, for a total of 4MB L2 cache. Like Propus, Llano completely eliminates L3 cache. On the CPU front, the A6 is rather similar - quad core with 4MB cache, though perhaps featuring lower clocks. A6 has a different graphics implementation - HD 6530 - which features 320SP @ 443 MHz. Finally, A4 features dual core (2MB L2 cache) with 160 SP, branded HD 6410.

Nvidia drops the price of 3D Vision glasses
vr-zone.com -
Despite plenty of promotion, Nvidia's 3D Vision platform can't be said to have been a booming success for the company, but it's one of very few commercially available 3D options for PCs. Now Nvidia has gone and dropped the price of its 3D Vision glasses in the US to try to get more consumers to get on board, but we have a feeling that it's not the cost of the glasses alone that are holding back consumer uptake.
