Next quarter will finally see the effort paid off by AMD’s acquisition of ATI 5 years ago. What I mean is the most talked about Llano APU, the Fusion project that was hyped all the way back during AMD worst time, the first true CPU-GPU combination into a single chip for the desktop variant. Brazos platform with the Zacate/Ontario APU and the Fusion hub controller (Hudson) is cater for the Netbook/CULV segment which single handedly beats down Intel Atom platform. Intel Sandy Bridge offers great graphics performance by having infused both CPU and GPU together with the same chip, the graphics performance increased is unquestionable as the graphics processing unit is being fed with data at much higher bandwidth thanks to the resource sharing with the CPU. With AMD’s expertise in the graphics development, we can expect the Llano Desktop processor to be even faster as far as graphics performance is concern than what Intel is able to offer in Sandy Bridge. Llano could redefine this whole budget desktop PC segment and make some of the budget discreet card irrelevant and redundant. Anyway, this is best reserved for debate when Llano is available to the mass. If you are looking for a budget desktop right now, Llano is not the option at least for these 3 months as it wasn’t available. How about Sandy Bridge? Although it is available right now, but I recommend something more on the budget side. Read on. Continue Reading »

Very sorry to Intel folks, this awesome cpu tweaker is not available for Core2Duo, Core2Quad, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 basically any cpu manufactured by the blue team Intel. This tool was named K10stat for a reason, and that was because it only supports K10 family of processor from AMD; from the old first generation Agena Phenom to the latest Phenom II. Though only the latest Phenom II/Athlon II will benefit most from this superb tweaker. How is this done?

If you’re looking for a PC right now, chances are you will find yourself bombarded with tons of hardware choices. You’ll be persuaded by the sugar coated mouth of the computer store’s salesman to get hardware specifications which you might not benefit much from it. In fact, most high-mid-end hardwares are overkill for just normal usage like surfing net, e-mails, instant messengers like MSN, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and gaming like Dota. This is why, you are wasting your money for the extra stuff you never need. And that’s why you always need consultation from any computer geek. If by chance that you don’t get any free advice from your geeky friends, or you don’t even have one, this article is best for you. For those looking to play Crysis2(out next year March), look elsewhere as this article is meant for people looking for best budget desktop computer Tadalis SX 2010 Q3. Continue Reading »

The days are numbered when IGP (integrated graphic processor) offers miserable graphic performance. Thanks to AMD, we got a very solid IGP solutions with the 780G chipset released last year. A year later, which is today, AMD bumped up and inject the 780G with extra speed and some tweaks here and there. And voila, we got the 785G. Continue Reading »

Gone are the days when 1GB of RAM and 400MHz of speed were considered to be a luxury specifications for a PC. 1GB RAM used to cost RM300-400(USD 115) 4-5years back, depending on the RAM timings and brand. Paired it with an AMD Athlon FX-55(best processor at that time) and you’ve got yourself a very fast PC. Fast forward to present time, suddenly this 1GB DDR 400MHZ RAM and FX-55 pairing seems better suited for word processing and your mum’s daily recipe on youtube. The fastest processor was just being dethrone last week when intel releases Core i7 975 Extreme to replace the 965 Extreme. Continue Reading »
