ASUS Adds New Finish to their notebook PCs

Taipei, Taiwan, June 4, 2009 – Today, ASUS showcased two new finishes that do much more than just beautify its products: Satin-brushed Aluminum and NeoWood. The Satin-brushed Aluminum finish, produced through Non-conductive Vapor Metallization (NCVM) technology, not only infuses treated surfaces with an elegant satin-brushed pattern, it provides scratch resistance, enhances the structural strength of the notebook, and improved wireless and Bluetooth performance.

The NeoWood finishing technique, which produces a high-strength wood grain veneer that looks and feels like real wood, is a first for the consumer electronics industry. It delivers all the benefits of real wood, including premium looks and natural tactility, while maintaining a level of resilience that far surpasses that of regular wood.

ASUS notebooks featuring the Satin-brushed Aluminum finish include the N81Vf, N60Sf and N51Vn, while the NeoWood finish can be enjoyed on the N60Sf*.

Satin-brushed Aluminum
The result of an innovative application of Non-conductive Vapor Metallization (NCVM) technology, ASUS' Satin-brushed Aluminum finish is a perfect example of form meeting function. It preserves the elegant coloration, luster and satin-brushed pattern of real brushed aluminum, yet offers vastly improved scratch resistance and strength. Another benefit of the Satin-brushed Aluminum finish is that it eliminates the interference of RF signals, which other metalized finishes such as aluminum cannot do. As a result, notebooks boasting the Satin-brushed Aluminum finish enjoy substantially improved 3D antenna efficiency and therefore greatly enhanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance. ASUS notebooks featuring the Satin-brushed Aluminum finish include the N81Vf, N60Sf and N51Vn.

NeoWood
ASUS' NeoWood finish combines the familiarity and comfortable tactility of natural wood with the high tensile strength of modern synthetics. It looks and feels exactly like the wood used in high-end furniture, yet has much-improved hardness, friction resistance and abrasion resistance properties than regular wood. Notebooks that feature the NeoWood finish, such as the ASUS N60Sf, not only look breathtaking, they are structurally stronger as well.

*The ASUS N60Sf is available in both Satin-brushed Aluminum and NeoWood finishes.

Apple MacBook Pro refresh, adds Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 mobile processors

The 13-inch MacBook Pro machines are still stuck with Intel's Core 2 Duo processors (although faster at 2.4GHz and 2.66GHz), but it has a new NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics part. Seems like the new hardware and power optimizations are giving a longer battery life; Apple claims up to 10 hours with the 13-inch models.

As for the 15-inch MacBook Pro, it's available with either the Intel Core i5 (2.4GHz and 2.53GHz) or the Intel Core i7 (2.66GHz) processor. Abeefier NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256MB VRAM does the job ofrendering your stufffor display. The highest spec-ed 15-inch Core i7 model has an increased amount of 512MB VRAM though.

And lastly we have the biggest 17-inch MacBook Pro, which is available with one processor - the Core i5 2.53GHz. The same GeForce GT 330M handles the graphics, but it has 512MB VRAM. Hmm, we wonder why only the 15-incher has a Core i7 option, and not the 17-inch.

Apple calls it 'automatic graphics switching', but it's actually NVIDIA's Optimus Technology at work. The discrete GT 330M GPU is switched on or off depending on the type of content displayed (such as games, design applications, Flash content, etc, basically stuff that can benefit from GPU acceleration);the workloadistransferred seamlessly between the NVIDIA chipand Intel's integrated HD Graphics core. Expect better battery life compared to laptops running solely on discrete graphics. Appleis confidentthatthe 15-inch and 17-inch modelscan last up to an impressive8-9 hours.

The rest of the parts are pretty uniform across the three models; all machines have:
- 4GB of DDR3 memory,
- mechanical hard drives as the default (250GB on the lowest end 13-inch, to 500GB on the higher end 15-inch and the 17-inch),
- glossy LED backlit displays (1280x800, 1440x900 and 1920x1200 for the 13-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch respectively)
- webcam,
- 8x SuperDrive
- mini DisplayPort,
- 2 USB 2.0 ports,
- 1 FireWire 800 port,
- SD card slot (the 17-inch has an ExpressCard 3/4 slot instead),
- backlit keyboard as standard

A few quick clicks into the Apple Store reveals a list of customizations available, such as the ability to upgrade the mechanical hard drive to a solid state drive (of up to 512GB capacity, and at the same time upgrading the size of the hole in your pocket), and even anti-glare screens (finally no more mirrors!).

Go on, the Apple Store is waiting.

ASUS ROG Rampage IV Extreme (X79) Review - Air Overclocking with Core i7-3960X

Introduction

We had already covered the ASUS Republic of Gamers Rampage IV Extreme in a exclusive preview last month, so we will spend the first section of the review talking about the newLGA 2011 based Sandy Bridge-E processor and the X79 Patsburg chipset.

Top of the line Core i7-3960X - 6 Core/12 Threads, 15MB Cache, Quad Channel IMC, AVX/AES/SSE4.2/SSE 4.2 support and a whopping 40 PCI-E lanes

The new SNB-E die is a lot bigger than Intels previous desktop offerings - no surprise as there are 2.27 billion transistors on die and six real processor cores (rather than pseudo integer/FP units). We also note with interest the 2 disabled cores - which will appear in the server Sandy Bridge-EP variants.

The SNB-E is the last of the 32nm desktop chips from Intel since Westmere. Next year, we will see the 22nm Ivy Bridge platform, which should bring significant power savings and higher operating frequencies.

Launching today is the six core i7-3960X (3.3GHz, 15MB cache) and the much cheaper i7-3930K (3.2GHz, 12MB cache). The TDP for the new chips are rated at 130W and they are poised to replace the aging Westmere based LGA1366 processors.

AMD releases Fusion APUs

It has been a long, long time coming. AMD has finally officiallyreleased its first Fusion products - E-series and C-series, based onZacate and Ontario respectively. As a recap, the Zacate products,branded Fusion E-series, are designed for notebooks, nettops andall-in-ones, and feature a 18W TDP. The two variants are E-350, 1.6 GHzdual-core and E-240, 1.5 GHz single core.

The C-series targets netbooks and "other emerging form factors". Previously codenamed Ontario, both variants have a lowly TDP of 9W. The C-50 is dual core clocked at 1.0 GHz, C-30 is a single core APU at 1.2 GHz.

Both APUs feature a Cedar(HD5400)-class GPU, with DX11 support, UVD3 and parallel processing capabilities. Fabbed at TSMC 40nm, C-series and E-series also feature a 64-bit integrated memory controller.

Products are expected to appear soon. Currently, the first Fusion based notebook to be listed is an Acer notebook, featuring the 1.6 GHz dual-core E-350, 2GB RAM, priced at a very reasonable $429, blurring the line between netbooks and notebooks.

AMD also touches on future plans with its Fusion plans. Of course, the next Fusion product will be Llano, based on enhanced 32nm K10.5 quad-cores and a full-blown Redwood-class GPU. The branding is revealed to be A-Series, with shipping scheduled for Q2 2011 and products based on Fusion A-series appearing in mid-2011.
