Nvidia introduces a new graphics accelerator Tesla K20X intended specifically for supercomputers. Tesla K20X, a flagship model of Tesla K20 series, is based on Nvidia Kepler architecture and is able to secure the highest performance supported by a single CPU. According to the preliminary testing, it ensures ten times faster operation of applications in combination with top-class processors. Moreover, this accelerator is currently supposed to be the most efficient one in the market, providing for utmost speeds and utmost performance ever seen.



Graphics accelerator Tesla K20X is notable by three times lower power consumption if compared with all previous generations of Nvidia products. Besides, it increases the performance discrepancy between GPU and CPU. A bunch of outstanding characteristics ensures 3.95 teraflops in calculations with a single precision and 1.31 teraflops in calculations with a dual precision.


In addition, a new series involves Tesla K20 accelerator that …

The Benq Co. has presented its latest gaming Zowie XL2536 monitor. The device is built on the 24.5” TN-matrix with the 1920x1080 pixels resolution, is designed with side shields to minimize distractions and supports the brand Dynamic Accuracy (DyAc™) technology, which is believed to provide high clarity during very dynamic games, full of action. Besides, the novelty features the Black eQualizer technology, making dark scenes brighter without over-exposing bright spots.



The Full HD Benq Zowie XL2536 display has the 1 ms response time, the 144 Hz ultimate refresh rate, the 320 cd/m² brightness and the 1000:1 contrast ratio. Regarding the fact, that PWM is not involved in brightness setup, we may assume, flicking is absent.


The interface demonstrates a DL DVI-D, two DisplayPort, two HDMI ports, a dual-port USB 3.0 hub, alongside with a headphone jack and a microphone jack. The stand makes it possible to adjust display height, tilt and swivel.

According to proven sources, Intel is considering the release the more rapid alternative to quad processor Core i7-3770K, which currently heads the line of Ivy Bridge to the mass market. This happens if the Corporation of Santa Clara will feel the hard pressure from the only competitor (AMD), which is actively working on the first chip Piledriver — FX-8350, FX-8320 and FX-8300. The release of a hypothetical «Core i7-3790K» with a frequency of 3.6 GHz can be held in the I quarter 2013.



The version of «3770-th» with blocked by increased factor (without the suffix K) will not be finished later, in the II quarter of next year, will give way to one of the members of the family Haswell.


Accordingly, the reinforcements will receive the platform LGA2011, which now covers the rear of the quad-core Core i7-3820. Strategies at Intel, most probably also will be limited to the addition of 100 MHz. About a year later models Sandy Bridge-E recede into the background in favor of …
