AMD Radeon HD 7790 Physical Specifications, Release Date Confirmed NVIDIA'a CEO Unveils Next Gens of Tegra SoCs and GPUs Lenovo Dated New ThinkPad T431s Sony Unveils New Xperia SP and Xperia L Wireless Props Power Case for iPad Announced HTC One Developer Edition Announced Dell Announces an 18-inch AiO PC and Tablet Hybrid Select Sony Stores Selling PS Vita 3G for $200 ASUS Releases the Touch-Powered ASUS VivoBook S500 AMD Radeon HD 7790 Physical Specifications, Release Date Confirmed A presentation slide, allegedly by AMD, leaked by a Japanese distributor confirmed specifications of AMD's upcoming Radeon HD 7790 graphics card. According to the slide, the HD 7790 is indeed based on a brand new silicon, with a transistor count of 2.08 billion ("Cape Verde" has 1.5 and "Pitcairn" boasts 2.80 billion). The silicon is built on the 28 nanometer silicon fab process.  The clock speed mentioned in the slide could be core, which is clocked at 1.00 GHz. Next up is the stream processor count, which stands at 896. The HD 7790 is mentioned to feature a primitive rate of 2 prim/clk, suggesting that its component hierarchy is more similar to "Tahiti" than "Cape Verde," which could mean double the tessellation processing power. All said and done, the HD 7790 belts out 1.79 TFLOPs of floating-point performance. The source goes on to mention in its text that the card features a 128-bit wide memory interface, memory clock speed of 6.00 GHz (96 GB/s), a TDP of 85W, and a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. It is expected to launch no later than tomorrow (22/03). Source: TechPowerUp NVIDIA'a CEO Unveils Next Gens of Tegra SoCs and GPUs Jen-Hsun Huang says the company's mobile chip will show 100-times improvement from the first generation to the fifth. The next generation, coming later this year, is code-named Logan, while the fifth generation of Tegra is code-named Parker, Huang said at the company's GPU developers' conference.  Logan will incorporate NVIDIA's Kepler GPU, which currently is dominating the discrete graphics market. It also will include CUDA, NVIDIA's programming model for GPUs that allows users to do many tasks at once. Parker, meanwhile, will be Nvidia's first processor from its Project Denver push. That includes full 64-bit capabilities, making it more attractive for use as the brains in one's computer or in a server or supercomputer. NVIDIA first started talking about Project Denver during the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011, but it hadn't provided many updates since that time. Parker also will incorporate a Maxwell GPU, NVIDIA's next-generation architecture.  Meanwhile, Huang today also unveiled NVIDIA's next-generation GPUs. The Kepler architecture, which is currently shipping in devices, will be followed by Maxwell in 2014. That architecture has a unified virtual memory that makes it possible for GPU operations to read and see the CPU memory, and vice versa. All memory is visible to all processors. That's going to make it easier for developers, Huang said. Next comes Volta. That GPU will have a new technology called stacked memory. Nvidia said it will solve one of the biggest challenges today, which is memory bandwidth for GPU. Volta will take a leap forward and will stack the DRAM on the same silicon substrate. It will carry DRAMs stacked on top of one another.

The base 3G bundle includes the handheld, an 8GB memory card and a voucher for a free PlayStation Network game, if you sign up for data coverage, that is.  The image above comes from a Century City store in LA. Save for a couple of stores on the East Coast that had closed once the source called each and every Sony store location to confirm. An employee at the Denver location surmised this was a permanent price drop due to a discontinuation of the model and said there was no time frame on the sale in his system, which means Sony can end the sale whenever. The New Jersey and Las Vegas locations also told the 3G model was being discontinued, while an employee in Seattle said the sale would only last until Sunday. Other locations still had old pricing in their systems and had no idea about the price cut—and Sony has yet to bring the price down online.
