Quadro Peek:
NVNews has a little sneak peak at the performance of the upcoming Nvidia Quadro 4 980XGL professional graphic card based on the NV28GL chip. The data has the Quadro 4 pit against a Wildcat for comparison.
Other information relating to the card is sketchy, though we are lead to believe this type of performance of the new card is to be seen across the board. We also believe that the card will be available very soon.
AMD CPU Review:
I say AMD CPU Review because the fellas at HardTecs4U have the AMD 2200+ thru 2800+ being reviewed here, on several different platforms.
The article includes benchmarks from Athlon XP 2200+, 2400+, 2600+, 2700+ and 2800+,each on Asus A7V8X (VIA KT400), Epox 8K3A+ (VIA KT333) and Asus A7N8X (nVidia nForce2) against a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4, each on i845PE and i850E.
ATi Getting Respect:
Hailed as the 'King of Graphics', ATI's RADEON 9700 PRO dominates all benchmarks with its breakneck speeds and cinematic-quality visuals. Powered by eight parallel rendering pipelines, Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 support, AGP 8X support and a fully programmable floating point architecture, the world's first visual processing unit (VPU) brought home Editor's Choice Awards, the Kick Ass Award, the Product Excellence Award and the Simply Amazing Award in publications including PC Gamer, Computer Games Magazine, PC Net, Maximum PC, OC Workbench and Hardinfo, among others.
