AMD A10-7870K Godavari APU Review

We review Godavari, the new A10-7870K APU from AMD. Initially intended for system-integrators who want to offer a nice APU at a reasonable price. However the 7870K today also will see the retail channel, the top dog APU from AMD is costing roughly 140 USD only and offers a nice balance in-between performance and energy consumption. The 7800 series APU is based on AMD's Kaveri architecture bringing the CPU and the GPU even closer together. Kaveri aims at several segments in the processor business like notebooks, desktops, embedded and even server solutions. Armed with a good 2.41 Billion transistors and based on a 28nm fabrication process, let's have a look at what it can do.

So with Godavari people had silent hopes that this would be a new APU architecture, nope. It was merely a project name that got blown our of proportions on the web, by the usual websites. The AMD A10-7870K Black Edition (Godavari) Flagship APU now is released. Retailers are listing this APU which will cost around a 140 USD and 129 USD for OEMs. You will have noticed that this SKU is using the 7800 series naming, not 8000 as earlier expected and rumored. Godvari architecture is in fact an update to what you guys have known and learned as the Kaveri / Excavator architecture CPU cores combined with Graphics CoreNext 1.2 based stream processors seated into the integrated GPU inside the APU.It will support higher speed DDR3 controllers allowing 2133 MHz as default using up-to 2400 MHz with AMD affiliated memory. There will be up to four x86 cores to be more specific, along with up to 512 stream processors per integrated graphics processing unit. The sheer difference for the 7870K will be that is is tweaked to be faster, the APU with a newer stepping will have a 3.9 GHz base-clock and can turbo on its dynamic boost clock frequency towards 4.1 GHz. The integrated graphics is a notch faster as well, coming from 720 MHz it is now clocked at 866 MHz.

AMD Fury X "Fiji" Voltage Scaling

We are testing software-based voltage control on AMD's Radeon Fury X, up to 1.37V, in order to investigate what overclocking gains can be expected. We also measure the real-life performance effect and how voltage changes affect power consumption.

Eachine Bar Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

There’s plenty of Bluetooth speakers on the market and companies need to find a way to set themselves apart to get them to sell and to do this they add more and more features to them. Today for review I’ve got another product from our friends over at Eachine and it’s a Bluetooth speaker but it’s much, much more than that. This product is a Bluetooth speaker but it’s also an alarm clock and an FM radio, and it’s also an MP3 player via microSD or USB Flash drive and it can also be a speakerphone. All in all it’s decent device, I like the alarm clock feature and have used it often, it does have one small issue though. Read on to learn more…

MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Motherboard Review

There is a natural evolution to computer hardware. Some of it is forced like separated audio on a motherboard but other things happen based on recommendations from users or some crazy idea the in-house overclocker came up with. Regardless of the genesis whatever goes into a motherboard often defines that product and what comes afterwards.

In this review I’ll be looking at the new MSI X99A Godlike Gaming motherboard. This is a new X99 motherboard I saw during Computex and was very impressed with how far MSI went to create a great looking motherboard. Much like the X99A Gaming 7 the Godlike is another perfect example of what a high-end gaming motherboard should look like with the added benefit of more cowbell

The MSI Gaming line has a very rich history starting with enthusiast hardware tailored to match what gamers wanted. The brand would later become a premier name in eSports while simultaneously supporting some of the top gamers in the world. Some of that brand power comes from the unique color scheme and instantly recognizable MSI gaming logo.

PowerColor PCS+ R9 380 4GB Review (AXR9 380 4GBD5-PPDHE): The Affordable 4GB Solution

With the release of the PowerColor PCS R9 380 4GB, for the first time we see an affordable 4GB gaming solution, a 4GB gaming GPU that runs $229.99 (NewEgg). Face it, games and gaming resolutions memory demands are exploding exponentially. It takes 2GB GRRD5 to do a good job running 1080p, 4 GB will get you 2560 x 1440 (1440P) and some 4k games using reasonable settings. The amount of GDDR5 on your GPU is the going currency for what resolution and settings you can game at. While 1080p still is the most popular resolution for gamers, at least for Steam Users (Steam Hardware Survey June 2015) there is no doubt that as the price comes down on 1440p-monitors and to some extend the new more affordable 4k-monitors, gaming at 1440p and higher will become more popular. 1440p in many cases needs 4 GB of high-speed GDDR5 to minimize stuttering and maintain higher framerates.

The PowerColor PCS R9 380 4GB gives you the price, the performance and the GDDR5 ram you need and does it on a 256-bit wide bus with 1792 Stream Processors, and a core speed of 980MHz connected to 4GB of GDDR5 running at 5900MHz. While the R9 380 GPU’s are a re-badge of the R9 285 PowerColor chose to go with significant tweaks that make looking at the PCS+ R9 380 4GB like looking at a completely different card.

Seagate Enterprise Capacity 2.5 HDD V3 2TB SATA III Review

When it comes to storage media it's no secret that laptop/notebook owners have been getting the short end of the stick for over a decade now something which is about to change since manufacturers have finally begun to focus in the development of 2.5" drives up to 3TB (as the name of the drive clearly states laptop owners may not be their primary target group but that matters very little in the end since anyone can use it). Certainly compared to the 6, 8 and 10TB 3.5" desktop models available 3TB may not seem as a breakthrough but since until recently the highest capacity model consumers had access to was just 1.5TB we're basically talking about a 100% increase. Unfortunately 3TB 2.5" drives may be a reality but they are months away from a massive release and so today we're going to be taking a look at the next best thing which is no other than the 2TB Enterprise Capacity 2.5 HDD V3 model by Seagate.

Windows 10 Review

Windows 10 is the best Windows you can run today. This alone should make it a big win, not to mention the fact that it's "free." However I don't think Windows 10 is there yet. Can Windows 10 bring seamless updates that one or two years from now will make it the best, most polished desktop OS available, and still be called Windows 10? Microsoft must prove itself under this new direction.
