AMD, ARM team up to push Heterogeneous Systems Architecture
AFDS — A few months ago, we gave you the low-down on AMD's Heterogeneous Systems Architecture, or HSA for short: a development target platform for chips with integrated CPUs and GPUs and shared memory, like AMD's Fusion APUs.

Asus is one of the very few companies still building sound cards for the PC, and it claims to have sold over half a million of the things in the past five years or so. That may not sound like a huge number, but keep in mind that Asus started with a single, relatively expensive model. The Xonar lineup has slowly expanded to include more affordable offerings, cards targeted at gamers, and USB derivatives.
Of course, there are some who insist that discrete audio solutions are no longer required. Integrated audio is good enough, they say.

Report: Windows RT to cost device makers $85-90
Windows RT tablets could be an expensive proposition when they arrive this fall. VR-Zone spoke to multiple tablet vendors at the Computex trade show last week, and it was told the Microsoft OS costs $85-90. That's the cost to device makers, the site says; Windows RT won't be sold as a standalone product.
Android is reportedly free for those folks, so the price difference between tablets based on Windows RT and Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, or whatever dessert Google is up to by then ...
