AMD Unveils A10-7890K Desktop APU
AMD
made an update to its desktop APU lineup, with the addition of the
A10-7890K. This socket FM2+ chip, based on the "Kaveri" Refresh silicon,
replaces the A10-7870K as the fastest APU you can buy. The chip's
maximum (Turbo Core) frequency is upped to 4.30 GHz, compared to the
4.20 GHz on the A10-7870K. The nominal clock speed remains unchanged,
it's rumored to be 4.00 GHz, but it wouldn't surprise us if AMD kept it
at 3.90 GHz. AMD could bundle its recently demoed
Wraith air-cooler
with this chip, which promises significantly lower noise levels than
the older reference cooler. In addition to the A10-7890K, AMD announced
that it is working with its motherboard partners to launch a fresh wave
of socket FM2+ and AM3+ boards that feature modern connectivity, such as
USB 3.1 type-C and type-A, and M.2 PCIe slots.

Intel Could Price 10-core "Broadwell-E" Core i7 Differently
Intel's
upcoming Core i7 "Broadwell-E" HEDT processors in the LGA2011v3 package
will be sold in not three, but four models, detailed in
our older article.
The lineup consists of two six-core parts, and one each of eight-core
and ten-core. The biggest question at the time was pricing - with Intel
traditionally pricing the slowest HEDT part around the $400-mark, the
middle variant around $600, and the top-dog at $1000, how the company
could squeeze in a fourth variant. It turns out that the company wants
you to pay top-dollar for ten cores in your machine.
Intel
could retain its traditional HEDT pricing scheme for all but the
10-core part. The "entry-level" (if you can call it that) Core i7-6800K
could be priced around the $400-mark. The Core i7-6850K, could retail
for $600. It's likely that clock-speed isn't the only thing setting the
two six-core models, it wouldn't surprise us if Intel ships the i7-6800K
with a "limited" PCIe root-complex, much like the i7-5820K. The
eight-core i7-6900K could be priced at $999, at what used to be Intel's
top client CPU price-point. It turns out that the 10-core i7-6950X could
be priced at no less than $1,500. This isn't the first time Intel
priced its top HEDT chip above $999. The dual-socket capable Core 2
Extreme QX9775, which sold exclusively with Intel's first-generation
"Skull Trail" motherboard, retailed at $1,300. Intel plans to launch its
Core i7 "Broadwell-E" lineup in the second quarter of 2016.

(PR) Enermax Announces the DF Fan Series
Enermax
is pleased to announce, for the first time at the 2016 CES, that
ENERMAX is making a giant leap forward for the future fan product
specification, the patented DFR (Dust Free Rotation) design. The concept
of DFR design is to greatly reduce the dust of the internal PC system
or the fan blade. The revolutionary DFR function allows the fan to spin
in reverse action at the highest RPM set by the user for 10 seconds upon
startup before it resume to the normal operation. In conjunction with
ENERMAX's patented DFR and Twister Bearing Technology for easy blade
removal, the new D.F. Fan series offers a total solution for
self-cleaning: prolong the product lifetime and extend the intervals for
fan and system cleaning maintenance.
Based
on our successful TwisterPressure series with incredible static
pressure of 3.845mm-H2O; the new DFR embedded D.F.PRESSSURE not maintain
this industry-leading performance, but with brand new APS (Adjustable
Peak Speed) PWM side control configuration for maximum user safety and
usability. This is truly an ultimate DIY fan choice for all types of PC
chassis, CPU coolers and other indoor applications.

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition Pictured in the Flesh
Here
are some of the first pictures of EVGA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition
graphics card, in the flesh. The card will be available in two cooling
options - a blower-type cooler that's designed by EVGA, or the more
popular ACX 2.0+ cooling solution, pictured below. The rather
conventional-looking card is "VR Ready," in that it has HDMI
connectivity that's very conveniently placed for VR headset users - the
card has a mini HDMI 2.0 port on its rear panel, while a 5.25/3.5-inch
front-panel comes included, which provides a convenient front HDMI 2.0
port, and two USB 3.0 type-A ports which internally plug into your
motherboard over a standard header, so you can save your neck pains for
the VR experience, and not craning your head behind your case.

Mushkin Shows Off a 500-Dollar 4 TB SSD
How
to make headlines with a rather mainstream SSD controller like the
Silicon Motion SM2246EN? Ask Mushkin - after unveiling a 2 TB variant of
the Reactor SSD, which maxes out the NAND flash capacity limit for the
SM2246EN controller, the company also showed off a prototype of its 4 TB
variant, which overcomes the capacity limitation by doing a good
old-fashioned multi-controller SSD subunit RAID, which is
host-transparent. Your machine reads the drive as 4 TB, while
internally, it's a JBOD of two 2 TB Reactor subunits.
The
drive uses 3D MLC NAND flash to keep densities high. It features a
standard SATA 6 Gb/s interface, and ships in a standard 7 mm-thick,
2.5-inch form-factor. The best part? Mushkin plans to sell the drive at
$500, or $0.25/GB, making it an exciting game folder drive option. In
addition to the Reactor duo, Mushkin unveiled a 1920 GB variant of the
Striker, a performance-oriented drive based on the Phison PS3110-S10
controller, with faster MLC NAND flash chips. This drive could be
pricier.
