ASUS Announces the Zenbook 3: A Macbook Competitor with Core i7, 16GB DRAM and 1TB SSD

Computex is already a whirlwind of announcements even for day zero. At the ASUS Zenvolution press event today, the lid was lifted on the next generation of premium ASUS Zenbook: the Zenbook 3. No release date was placed, but the specification list and feature set puts it squarely in line to compete against very popular notebooks, albeit on the premium side.

The Zenbook 3 comes in at 11.9mm thin, weighing 910g, and gives a 12.5-inch display at a 1920x1080 resolution using a thin bezel display. This is similar to the XPS 13 (I’d give a nod more to the XPS 13, but it’s pretty close), but uses an aerospace grade aluminium body design similar to a Macbook but featuring a full Core i7-6500U with 16GB of LPDDR3-2133 memory. The use of a 15W Skylake-U processor means that the memory is limited to LPDDR3 rather than DDR4, which means 1.35V rather than 1.2V, but the faster 2133 MT/s memory should assist in a good number of daily tasks reliant on memory speed, such as gaming.

Asus Zenfone 3 phones launch with 6GB of RAM and 6.8-inch display

ASUS Zenfone 3 is another sign that phones with 6GB of RAM are becoming the new trend for the second half of 2016, following last week's ZTE Axon 7 launch and Galaxy Note 6 rumors.There were actually three ASUS Zenfone 3 series handsets just announced at Computex 2016, and each one is bigger than the next. Its largest display tops out at a hand-winching 6.8 inches.All three Zenfone 3 configurations are made of metal, but have widely different specs. It can be a little confusing: the oversized Zenfone 3 Ultra model doesn't have a top-of-the-line chip like you'd expect.

Fnatic Gear Focus G1 XL Mousing Surface Review

A month back, I was sitting in a review session for one of my last classes in university, going through some sample questions and thinking of possible answers. As this was my engineering ethics class, the topic of intellectual property came up. One of the questions was, "What determines how long a trade secret lasts?” Being the cheeky and tired person I was, I wrote down "The secrecy of the secret". I chuckled to myself, and continued taking notes. A week later, my friend asked me for a copy of my notes, so I scanned them over to him. A few minutes later, he laughed and inquired about my response to the question above. The best part is the fact this is the correct answer. Unlike other things such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks, trade secrets have no time limit. The only limiting factor to a trade secret is how good the employees are at keeping quiet about it. In fact, once the secret is out, anyone else can patent this secret for themselves. Despite how obvious the answer may be, it is almost ridiculous to state such a glaring fact. As for the product at hand today, I have another question for it: What makes a mousepad, a "gaming" mousepad? You could say something like, "It is great for games", or "It is good at holding mice", and while these answer the question, it is not exactly what I am looking for. Instead, this inquiry takes a bit more digging into. Hopefully I will make it a bit clearer as we look closer at the Fnatic Gear Focus G1 XL.

GeForce GTX 1070 FCAT Frametime Anaysis Review

The very impressionable GeForce GTX 1070 has been reelased, in this review we will be analyzing frame time/pacing in combination with FCAT. With FCAT (Frame Capture Analysis Tool) we can easily detect and visiualize if there are any problems related to rendering content in terms of stuttering or oddities.

We now have updated binaries and are DirectX 12 compatible meaning we can add the latest DX12 titles into this article as well. To check all this, we revert to our FCAT measuring setup, which we'll explain again in the next few pages. This technique allows us to record each frame rendered precisely up to the millisecond. The beauty of this technique is that it measures at the monitor output side, that means everything you can observe with your eyes (or not) is measured.

GeForce GTX 1070 Founders edition review

On May 17th Nvidia rolled out the GeForce GTX 1080, the new flagship graphics card. Alongside of that product release Nvidia silently announced the GeForce GTX 1070 as well. However the specs release have been rather limited. Today however we can post and host the review of the reference card (these days called founders edition). Though from a visual perspective the two cards might look identical, there are a number changes alright. In this review we'll talk you through it all.

It’s been a long time coming, but the day is finally here! The two major desktop dedicated GPU manufacturers both are close slash ready for the newest GPUs. It’s been a time long coming and not without reason. The graphics card industry, or the GPU industry has been on hold, waiting for a smaller GPU fabrication process to become viable. Last generation GPUs were based on a 28 nm fabrication, an intermediate move to 20 nm was supposed to be the answer for today’s GPUs, but it was a problematic technology. Aside from some smaller ASICs the 20 nm node has been a fail. Therefore the industry had to wait until an ever newer and smaller fabrication process was available in order to shrink the die which allows for less voltage usage in the chips, less transistor gate leakage and, obviously, more transistors in a GPU. The answer was to be found in the recent 14/15/16 nm fabrication processors and processes with the now all too familiar FinFET + VLSI technology (basically wings on a transistor). Intel has been using it for a while, and now both Nvidia and AMD are moving towards such nodes as well. Nvidia is the first to announce their new products based on a TSMC 16 nm process fab by introducing Pascal GPU architecture, named after the mathematician much like Kepler, Maxwell and Fermi.

Geforce GTX 1080 supplies may be scarce until mid June

Limited supplies at least until week after Geforce GTX 1070 launchOn Friday, most of Nvidia’s add-in board partners made announcements of their customized Geforce GTX 1080 graphics cards and their sales of the Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Edition, a new name for Nvidia’s new “reference card” with reference clockspeeds, only this time with an upgraded vapor chamber cooling unit.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Pascal Performance Review

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080 is the company's Pascal-based flagship, but its upcoming GTX 1070 is bound to turn more heads with a $449 price tag and GeForce GTX Titan X-like performance.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition (16nm Pascal) Review

Can the cheaper Pascal deliver performance in spades? The GeForce GTX 1080 became the new consumer graphics chief when fully unveiled on May 17. Priced at a cool $699 for the Founders Edition, Nvidia's cohort of add-in card (AIC) partners have now been given permission to launch their custom-cooled cards that are available on pre-order.

Our focus on May 17 was, quite understandably, the GTX 1080, but astute readers will have noticed that Nvidia boss, Jen-Hsun Huang, also made mention of a second card based on the new Pascal architecture. That card is the GeForce GTX 1070, available in reference/Founders form on June 10 for a more palatable $449. The AICs will be allowed to produce their own cards a week or so later, following on from the timetable set by the GTX 1080. Best of all, price should drop to a starting $379.

The reason you should care about GTX 1070 is that it promises around 75 per cent of the GTX 1080's performance for about 65 per cent of the money, and with even lower power consumption to boot. Think of it as GTX 980 Ti -like perf for less money.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Review

What we see with the GTX 1070 Founders Edition is that NVIDIA's tried and true method of scaling the architecture up and down to meet performance targets is once again working quite nicely. The introduction of NVIDIA's Pascal architecture built on a 16nm FinFET process has added the FPS performance needed to allow end users to take that big leap up the hardware ladder to the next level of performance. At NVIDIA's Pascal launch event, a slide that caught everyone was that the GTX 1070 was going to be as fast as the top card in the Maxwell product stack, the GTX Titan X. Truth be told, that target was reached and exceeded in many cases in my testing. From 1920 x 1080 through 3840 x 2160, the GTX 1070 was every bit the equal of the GTX Titan X, and in many cases it was the faster card.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Video Card Review

Last week we were impressed by how the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X video card performed when we put to the test, but not everyone can afford a $699 video card and we understand that. If you have an 2-5 year old video card you might be getting the itch to upgrade to something more modern that has the performance you want to have while supporting all the new features that NVIDIA has added over the past couple generations. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 uses the same GP104 'Pascal' GPU build on the 16nm FinFET process that is used on the GeForce GTX 1080, but costs a fair amount less. Read on to see how it performs!

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Review

As attractive as the GeForce GTX 1080 is, many enthusiasts are undoubtedly holding out for the much more affordable GTX 1070. Partner cards will start at $380, while Nvidia's Founders Edition will retail for $450. With Titan X and 980 Ti-like performance, the GTX 1070 looks like the best option for 1440p gamers, delivering well north of 60 FPS in nearly every game we tested.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Review: High-Performance, Lower-Pricing

The powerful GeForce GTX 1080 got the lion’s share of media attention immediately following NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang’s official unveiling at an event in Austin, Texas a couple of weeks back. But its little brother, the GeForce GTX 1070, was also mentioned along with its expected price point, which just happened to be far more attainable for most PC enthusiasts. Better yet, the GeForce GTX 1070 would reportedly offer “Titan X class performance”, which is particularly impressive, given the 1070’s sub-$400 asking price of partner-built boards. Like the 1080, the GTX 1070 Founder's Edition is a bit pricier.

The GeForce GTX 1070’s official reference specifications were revealed a few days after NVIDIA's event, but we’re now able to give you the full scoop. We’ve put a GeForce GTX 1070 Founder’s Edition through its paces and have all of the juicy details laid out on the pages ahead...

Stop Letting Microsoft Use Your PC for File Sharing

Microsoft is all about Windows Updates lately. Between forcing Windows 10 updates on everyone, and generally doing a lot to make its users mad with the way updates are handled, it seems like we need to spend more time figuring out to fight updates than using our PC. One place Microsoft is attempting to make Windows Update more streamlined is by having users share their connection with others to speed updating through P2P.

Tesoro Excalibur V2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

In the fall of 2015 I got to take a Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum keyboard for a test ride, and I liked it so much that it has displaced my old friend, a Logitech G15, as my every day keyboard. Not only it is a very well built and comfortable keyboard to use, the lighting effects are quite useful and entertaining. In this review, I'm going to take a look at another illuminated, mechanical gaming keyboard from Tesoro - the Excalibur V2.
