Intel 510 Series SSD: A Step Into The SATA 6.0 Gbps World
Although Intel SSDs are far from being omnipresent on the market, those who have had the chance to use them are certainly convinced that these are top-notch devices. When Intel’s first SSDs were presented back in 2008, namely X25-M, it was clear from the get-go that Intel knew what they were doing, as these MLC SSDs used their 10-channel architecture to score much better than any competing solutions based on SLC NAND flash memory. Their SSDs were made in order to squeeze out the best possible performance out of Nehalem microarchitecture. Intel has always been an innovator, after all, and the SSD field is no exception; Intel’s controllers have always been the best money could buy, forcing other manufacturers to advance quickly in order to remain competitive. The model we’ve received for testing this time is the first generation of Intel’s SSDs to include SATA 6 Gb/s support.

CrossFire x8/x8 or x16/x4: The Ongoing Dilemma
We’ve often been asked why we were using a motherboard “with only a x16/x4 configuration” to test graphics cards in CrossFireX, with the question referring to the available modes for a motherboard’s PCI Express slots. This makes sense from the viewpoint of an author trying to create the ideal conditions and get results as objective as possible. On the other hand, how much does this really impair performance compared to an x8/x8 system? Many users are desperate when they find out that their motherboard is limited to x16/x4, thinking that this is bound to degrade their performance significantly. This theory isn’t based in fact, however, since PCI Express 2.0 (the one that most graphics cards are currently using) has a bandwidth of 8 GB/s in x16 mode. This is an extremely high bandwidth value that no single-GPU card can use to the fullest, as seen from the experience with GeForce GTX 580, the fastest single-GPU card in existence; in fact, not even multi-GPU cards can, as witnessed by Radeon HD 5970 and the hotly anticipated HD 6990. Yet PCI Express x4 has only 2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is often considered laughable by today’s standards, as a number this low is bound to cause a performance bottleneck. Or is it?

Microsoft made more from Android sales than on WP7
Website Asymco has posted some interesting figures noting that Microsoft has actually made a lot more money off Android phone sales than it does off of phones sold running Windows Phone 7, its own operating system. Citigroup analysts says that HTC pays Microsoft $5 for every Android device sold, which will add up to an expected $150 million in revenue this year.

Apple not likely to use Samsung AMOLED displays
Recent Internet reports stated that Apple was considering using a new Samsung AMOLED display for their upcoming iPad 3 tablet, but website OLED-display.net says this is highly unlikely as production will not be able to hold up to expected demand. The site says Samsung would not be able to produce enough 9.7-inch screens, especially since the company has already announced it will sticking to smaller and medium sized panels, mainly for smartphones.
