The five plaintiffs filed an amended complaint last week in San Francisco federal court that accused Nvidia of violating the consumer-protection laws. According to one plaintiff Todd Feinstein of Loui... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/11/nvidia.sued.over.graphics/ Tue, 12 May 2009 03:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/06/ibm.shows.water.cooled.cpu/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/ibmwaterteaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />IBM on Thursday announced plans to use water to cool its next-generation of computer chips internally, allowing it to develop faster multi-layer processors that don't require additional external cooling. To this end, the company showed off a prototype 3D chip with thousands of tiny water passages in between the chip's layers. The company says interlayer cooling was necessary, as traditional heat s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/06/ibm.shows.water.cooled.cpu/ Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/29/isiah.based.nano.chips/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0805/28-via2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />On the heels of its C7-based OpenBook reference design, VIA Technologies on Thursday formally introduced its VIA Nano processor family based on the "Isaiah" architecture. VIA claims that the Nano family, which uses Fujitsuís 65 nanometer process, offers as much as four times the performance of its previous-generation within the same power and thermal envelope, while offering pin-compatibility with... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/29/isiah.based.nano.chips/ Thu, 29 May 2008 10:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/27/puma.turion.ultra.specs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/amdgriffin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Details of AMD's planned announcements at Computex have emerged, OEM sources for TG Daily are said to claim. The Puma platform is expected to be launched at the beginning of the show, June 3rd, and will feature the "Griffin" CPU, now named the Turion Ultra.

The maker's dual-core Athlon and triple or quad-core Phenom CPUs, coupled with AMD 780V chipset and optional ATI Radeon integrated graphics support are featured in the Business Class. The benefits of the new platforms will include up to 24-month image stability when installed in first-issue deskto... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/28/amd.business.class.cpus/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/19/amd.reveals.45nm.shanghai/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/19-AMD.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AMD engineers this week said that the company plans on introducing new 12-core processors later this year. The first processors based on 45nm Shanghai platform are due later this year and will be nearly identical to the B3 variant of the Socket 1207 Opteron (Barcelona) shipping today, according to DailyTech. The processors will reportedly use the faster HyperTransport 3.0 for inter-CPU communicati... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/19/amd.reveals.45nm.shanghai/ Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:10:00 GMT
