Scythe Japan has released the Rev. B of its top-flow CPU cooling solution, the Grand Kama Cross CPU cooler. The new revision brings support for the latest Intel LGA2011 socket of extreme CPUs while maintaining the same price point as the previous model.

AMD is now preparing to release two new FX-series Bulldozer CPUs. The two new models that will join the lineup are the FX-4130, a quad core part and the FX-6130, a six core part.

Intel’s Haswell CPUs, the successor to its Ivy Bridge CPUs will indeed come with much faster graphics than its predecessors. If you remember the previous report that there will be varying graphics for Haswell, that fact remains true and the performance increase is expected to start from 20% up to double that of the current Ivy Bridge graphics.

Intel’s enthusiast grade Ivy Bridge-E CPUs will most likely not appear this year according to a recent slide that was published by ComputerBase. The slide shows what is allegedly Intel’s most recent CPU road map and details the chip giant’s plan for this year until 2013 which clearly has no sign of the Ivy Bridge-E chips.

Cooler Master has finally decided to revive its water cooling business, well at least in Europe for the time-being as the company has now unveiled its soon to retail Eisberg series of water cooling solution for CPUs.

AMD is looking to start the production of its FX-8350 CPUs in Q3 of this year. The FX-8350 is a 32nm Piledriver architecture based AMD CPU that is bound to replace the current FX-8150 Zambezi Bulldozer FX CPU.

Another leaked document from Intel now reveals a more or less sure launch date for the Ivy Bridge processors. The slide was published by Turkish website DonanimHaber and contains not only the launch date of the Core i7 and Core i5 Ivy Bridge CPUs but also the ones for the rest of the whole Ivy Bridge lineup.

Although Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs are now facing delays due to still unknown reasons, it’s good to know that they are at least capable of good feats. In addition to being low power consuming chips and having better performance in terms of CPU and graphics, it seems Ivy Bridge is also a very good overclocker as the flagship chip, the Core i7-3770K has now been reported to have been overclocked just beyond 7GHz.

So many stories are now surrounding Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs. There was the initial report about some mobile chip models being delayed and now more delays seem to be on the way that concerns not only some models but the whole Ivy Bridge platform as well. So if you’re one of those itching to get their hands on the new CPUs, you may want to read on and analyze the information yourself.

AMD has released two new FX Bulldozer CPUs, the FX-4170 and FX-6200 and at the same time, cuts the prices of its Phenom and other FX CPUs.

It’s less than two months to go until the launch of Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs and more information is starting to surface the latest one being the low power Core i7-3770S CPU being up to 27% faster than its Sandy Bridge counterpart, the Core i7-2600S.

AMD has revealed at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) that their upcoming Piledriver based CPUs will utilize resonant clock mesh technology developed by Cyclos Semiconductor. This technology can reduce power consumption by 10% and increase clock speed by 10% without requiring a raise in TDP.

Spire brings us its latest tower-type CPU cooler, the TME III which is the latest member of the company’s TherMax Eclipse CPU cooler series. The TME III features increased number of heat pipes and higher density of dimpled and aluminum fins as well as two high air-flow 120mm BlackStar 7 blades, high quality precision Nano bearing DC fans.

Intel is now looking to lower the prices of Ivy Bridge CPUs to compensate for the delay of its mass shipments. This is to help the transition from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge without causing a price shock to its partners who are still trying to exhaust their remaining Sandy Bridge CPUs.

Haswell CPUs, the successor the Ivy Bridge CPUs coming this April, will pack graphics that everyone is expecting to be significantly faster than its predecessors. The question now is just how really fast they would be compared to Ivy Bridge’s graphics.

Noctua has announced the NH-L12, a low-profile CPU cooler that is ideal for small form factor PCs such as HTPCs. The NH-L12 features a top down design that makes use of two fans – the 120mm NF-F12 and the 92mm NF-B9 that are arranged in a dual fan setup.

Last week’s report about Intel delaying mass shipments of its Ivy Bridge CPUs might have been very disappointing for many especially for those who were planning on building a new rig when the chips come out. The delay will indeed happen but luckily, only dual core models will be affected.

AMD has now been reported to be preparing three new FX CPUs for launch later this quarter. The new CPUs to be expected are the FX-8140, FX-6120 and the FX-4150. All these three CPUs are still based on Bulldozer and not the enhanced Piledriver architecture and all feature 95W TDP.

Intel has now notified its partners about its plan to delay the mass shipments of its Ivy Bridge CPUs. The move is not because of manufacturing problems or low yields of the new CPUs but rather, to help the company’s partners exhaust their remaining Sandy Bridge CPU inventories which until now are seeing slow movement because of the overall low demand due to the weak global economy.

Intel’s Haswell CPUs are not due until the midpoint of 2013 but as early as now details about it are starting to surface indicating the Santa Clara based chip giant is already deep into developing them. The latest bit of information we have now is about the 8-series chipset codenamed “Lynx Point” which will pair with the CPUs for the new platform.

Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs are nearing the predicted April launch that is why more information about the chips is also starting to surface. On our previous reports we already detailed the Core i7 and Core i5 chips which apparently will bear similar prices with their Sandy Bridge counterpart in time of those chips’ launch.

Thermalright announced its upcoming tower type CPU cooler for Intel’s Sandy Bridge-E. Based on the Silver Arrow model released in 2010, the Silver Arrow SB-E features two large aluminum fin stacks, eight 6mm copper heatpipes and a 140mm and 150mm fans.

Throughout this year, AMD is scheduled to release its second generation APUs codenamed “Trinity” and at the same time, also the second generation FX-series CPUs. All these new chips will feature AMD’s new Piledriver CPU architecture that promises to bring better IPC performance compared to Bulldozer.

Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs will not arrive until early April but as early as now the successor to the upcoming chips, the Haswell CPUs have now been given a launch time frame based on the information from a leaked Intel slide published by Turkish website, DonanimHaber.

Prolimatech, a known manufacturer of tower type CPU cooler is now working on two new unconventional CPU cooler designs for Intel’s LGA2011 platform that features the enthusiast grade Sandy Bridge-E CPUs.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have found a way on how to boost a computer’s performance by making the CPU and GPU found on a single chip, work together more efficiently resulting to an increased performance average of 21.4%.

AMD adds to its product database two new quad-core Athlon II CPUs that carry the FM1 socket design. The two new chips are the addition to the two earlier released Athlon II CPUs, the Athlon II 631 and Athlon II 651 with the same FM1 socket on the second half of 2011. These CPUs are actually K10 Llano chips with their on-die GPU disabled.

Earlier this week, IBM was reported to have been signed by AMD as its new chip manufacturer. Mr. Rory Read, AMD’s CEO even gave a statement about the two company’s partnership. But a new statement from AMD’s representative now denies IBM manufacturing chips for the Sunnyvale-based company.

Origin has announced the availability of its exclusive Frostbyte 360 liquid cooling system that allows CPU overclocking up to 5.2GHz, with multiple cores enabled. The Frostbyte 360 liquid cooling system features silent pumps, a high efficiency triple 120mm fan radiator, and zero maintenance self-contained water cooling system.

On the Financial Analyst Day held on Thursday, AMD presented its plans for its CPUs for this year and next year. The roadmap detailed chips from both the desktop and mobile segment as well as some brief details about the company’s next generation GPUs.
