The course will spearhead the new Radeon HD 8970 (Curacao), a real monster of power on a single GPU with 2304 stream processors , 144 TMU, 36 CU, 48 ROPs and a clock speed of 1100 MHz . Onboard find 6 GB of GDDR5 memory with 384-bit bus and a frequency of 7 GHz, all for TDP of 250 watts, at a cost of 599 dollars and a performance gain of 35% compared to the Radeon HD 7970.

In second place was the Radeon HD 8950 (Hainan) with a GPU with 1792 stream processors, 112 TMU, 32 ROP, GDDR5 memory with 256-bit bus. In this case, the GPU runs at 1200 MHz, 4 GB of memory to 7 GHz with a TDP of only 190 watts and cost $ 399. This will also be faster than the Radeon HD 7970 by 10%.

We then go to the Radeon HD 8870 will be more powerful than the current HD 7870 up to 40% with a cost of $ 299. The GPU, set at 1.1 GHz, will have 32 ROPs, 24 CU, 1,536 stream processors and 2GB of GDDR5 memory with 256-bit bus and a frequency of 6 GHz TDP shall be 160 watts.

Finally, the HD 8850 , for the mainstream, equipped with 1280 stream processors, 20 CU, 80 TMU, 32 ROP and 2GB of memory with 256-bit interface. The frequencies will be 1 GHz to 6 GHz for the GPU and memory, set to 130W TDP. This card will be faster than current HD 7870 by about 15% and will cost $ 229.

In short, AMD aims to sharpen your weapons and extreme end where the GeForce GTX Titan currently stands in terms of computing power.

Fairphone the first smartphone 'ethically correct' that track all the components (video)

The exponential spread of smartphones and tablets is bringing lavish revenue to all the producers and the entire supply chain, but what are the ecological implications of such a production? In recent weeks, we talked about the interesting study of the fine material present in every single device (infinitesimal amounts, but important given the volume of devices in circulation), a particular point of view which gave us clear vision of the potential of recycling.


Many of the materials, especially rare earths, unknowingly come from mines in underdeveloped areas and over-exploited, so the Dutch initiative called Fairphone is already having some success, a project that wants to give the consumer a finished product and value, but want to Also included in the 'box' all ancillary information on the origin of each component and staff who worked in the assembly.

A tracking system that could be called similar in all respects to that used for food and meat DOP, an idea that has already attracted a number of users around the world to preorder one at the cost of € 325 approximately $436 US dollars . No compromise at the level hardware , here is the design and the technical to follow:
  • 4.3-inch display
  • Android 4.2
  • quad core processor
  • 8 mega-pixel rear camera plus 1.3 mega-pixel on front
  • unlocked

The screen of the new iPhone will be protected from germs and sun

Many manufacturers of smartphones, including and Apple, used to protect the glass display Gorilla Glass, invented by Corning. But in March, it was reported that very soon the screens of mobile devices will do sapphire - second only to diamond strength of the material, which is much harder than glass.


Manufacturers have already begun to use sapphire crystal. In particular iPhone 5 camera is protected by such a coating. However, the last cost is too high, so that companies could use it to protect the screen: sapphire coating for the latter can cost upwards of $ 30. The experts, who predict a fall in the price of sapphire, expect that some manufacturers will start releasing "sapphire" smartphones and tablets by the end of 2013.

These rumors have forced Corning to make a statement about the upcoming update Gorilla Glass. First, the company announced that the image on the new iPhone will be much easier to see in direct sunlight. Second, the new coating is applied antimicrobial technology that prevents the growth of bacteria on the surface of the device.
 

Corning argues that the glass Gorilla Glass is already quite thin and durable to be used in wearable computers, a curved form factor - such as iWatch, which is rumored to be developing Apple. And to break the screen, it will need to make 2.5 times more power than a device made of sapphire. Release dates of the first smartphones and tablets with the new coating Corning is not that precise.

Intel has some of the chip Haswell oriented towards the use in mobile devices, reducing the power consumption, as low as 7 watts.  Previous minimum for Ivy Bridge chip core was 10 watts.

All this sounds like overly good to be true, but at this point it is worth waiting for the next WWDC 2013 , where we will enjoy a good chance of news about it.

Facebook Mobile: a guide to best protect our data!

The Facebook app is now present on each device exists. Alternatively, as you know, there is a mobile version of the famous social network. One of the biggest threats to our privacy, however, is to make available to all private information stored on the device managed by the APA own capital. Photos, videos, and personal messages may be revealed simply by opening the application Facebook . There is therefore the need to protect the private data through some preventive measures.
Here are five ways to make sure that any intruder from gaining access to your personal information:

  1. Lock your device : Of course, you'll think. In fact more than 30% of people do not use a password to protect their mobile devices. In theory, this should be your first line of defense if the phone is lost or stolen. You should always have an access code, not just to protect your Facebook account, but also for other sensitive information. Think about the work email, important documents, banking information etc.. If you have an iPhone, you can enter a passcode on your phone by going to Settings General> Passcode Lock. You can also increase the number of characters and set the phone to their data from being deleted after a certain number of failed access attempts.
  2. Use a different password for e-mail and Facebook Account : Three-quarters of users select one password for all their log-in and common codes are often obvious ("123456" and "password" at all). As you enter more digits, letters, or symbols you can dramatically increase the time it takes to discover your password. You need to create multiple passwords for your accounts, especially for Facebook that hosts tons of personal information.
  3. Choose a protocol for safe navigation : Facebook has offered an option of safe navigation in 2011. Without a secure HTTP connection (HTTPS), the data are subject to attack every time you use a Wi-Fi (Starbucks, hotels, etc..).
Unfortunately, there is a downside: HTTPS encryption can slow your experience on Facebook, a common disorder already on the phone. Avoid unprotected Wi-Fi and 3G/4G used the service of your provider to prevent potential violations.
  1. Enable notifications access and approvals : To ensure the safety of your Facebook account, you can set up a function (via this link ) that lets you know when and where you are logging. Facebook will send a notification for each login. After assigning names to the most commonly used devices, you will get a warning if someone breaks into your account from an unknown computer, phone or tablet. And if somebody violates your account, you may receive directions to reset your secret code and defend it.
  1. Use "trusted contacts" : This recent innovation of Facebook allows you to select a small group of trusted friends. In case you do not have access to your account, either through the security questions, Facebook will send codes to these different friends. Once you have all the codes it could be done in again.
What would you advise you to safeguard your Facebook account?

Mailbox for the iPad was released in the App Store

Mailbox, a popular application for mail on the iPhone, available on the iPad! Flatbed version of the application has inherited the best features of the original and offers a focus on the home when viewing e-mail.

Mailbox interface for the iPad is divided into two columns - the contents of the letter and the list of e-mail messages, consisting of five zones, among which you can re-roll the letter by the so-called swipe (sliding finger motion across the screen). Spend your finger to the right - the message will go to the archive, a long movement to the right - the letter will be deleted. Gesture to the left lay-mail for later, and you can specify when you want to go back to the letter: today, but later in the evening, tomorrow, this week, next week, for a month, ever. These time periods can also be adjusted, for example, to describe what is for you "today, but later," and how long is the "someday".

There is an opportunity to throw in the mail list (by default - to read, to watch and to buy). Gestures are duplicated on the icon located above the letter.

Recall startup developers  Mailbox  said they were not able to cater for all those wishing to use the service, and asked users to "stand in line" to try out the program. In the day the Mailbox in the queue were 280,000 users a day later - more than half a million, and two weeks after the release -  1,000,000 people . In April, the program's creators have removed all restrictions on the installation of Mailbox - the application was made ​​available to the public.


Mailbox proposes to focus on the essentials, without exposing the contrary, the right of letters the old-fashioned show, and immediately mail by subject, leaving only the most important. And this is probably the only place where you check in the morning mail, you can see the zero and motivating picture as a trophy.
