The Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) Co. has lately introduced a tiny LIVA Q PC, dimensionally easily comparable with an ordinary computer mouse. Its framework, measuring only 70 × 70 × 31.4 mm (WxDxH), is of 0.15 l volume capacity. Total weight equals around 9 ounces (260 g). This specialty may function as a set-top box, for instance.
LIVA Q is built on the Apollo Lake gen Intel processor. Customers have an option to choose between Celeron N3350 and Pentium N4200 modifications. The first sample mentioned has two compute cores, featuring the 1.1 GHz frequency, which can be boosted up to 2.4 GHz, as well as the Intel HD Graphics 500 graphics controller. The second silicon offers four cores with the 1.1–2.5 GHz clock and the Intel HD Graphics 505 graphics accelerator.
The LPDDR4 RAM capacity comes to 2 GB or 4 GB; the eMMC flash storage is able to hold 32 or 64 GB. There is a slot for the microSD card, too.
This compact PC is equipped with the Gigabit Ethernet …
Gigabyte Technology has expanded its product line of process-specific motherboards with a new model, codenamed GA-6PCSVT. Based on Intel C602 chipset, the newbie is primarily targeting high-yield workstations and rack servers. This model is thought to support Intel Xeon E5-1600 v2 and Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPUs for Socket LGA 2011 with the maximal TDP level of 150 W.
The Gigabyte GA-6PXSVT accommodates eight slots for the incorporation of four-channel RAM: DDR3 standard, up to 64 GB capacity, support for 1600 MHz modules. Expansion of possibilities might be realized due to three PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots; there is a chance of creating various graphics configurations (SLI or CrossFire).
Storage section offers ten SATA III 6 Gb/sec ports, as well as three SATA II 3 Gb/sec ports. This provides for the connection of up to fourteen hard drives or solid-state devices at a time. A part of the ports is backed by means of Marvell 88SE9230 controller. Gigabyte has taken care about …
Elsa, a well-known Japanese manufacturer of graphics solutions for PC systems, is going to release its own non-reference model of Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 adapter. Codenamed Elsa GeForce GTX 760 S.A.C., the card is based on an original PCB with PCI-e 3.0 x16 interface. The heart of the model is GK104-225 chip (an estimated performance equals to 2.3 GFLOPS), designed under 28 nm Kepler microarchitecture. It features 1152 CUDA cores, 32 ROPs, 96 TMUs, and runs at the nominal 980 MHz frequency (1033 MHz on overclocking).
Graphics card GTX 760 S.A.C. carries 2GB memory of GDDR5 type that is equipped with 256-bit bus and operates at 6008 MHz clock frequency (effective index). Power supply process is realized via two 6-pin sockets. It should be noted that this model is known to consume not more than 170 W power. The reverse side of PCB contains video interface panel with four outputs: DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual Link DVI-D, Dual Link DVI-I.
As it’s vivid from the codename, this …
