Some snippets from Sniper:

USA is using the old F4 Phantom not only as a remote controlled drone for target practice, they are also using it as a unmanned combat drones. Skynet here we come. :)

Kingston will be selling Intel SSDs soon. The new Intel SSDs featured some good performance with Intel claiming that the SSDs yielded up to 240MB per second in read performance, with 170MB per second in write performance.

Fudzilla report on crazy expensive motherboards for i7 processors. We've yet to see pricing from a wide range of other companies such as Gigabyte, MSI, Foxconn and ECS, to mention a few, so there might still be room for some more affordable boards to turn up.

AMD reckon their Shanghai processors will be 35% faster than their current products. The advances are direct results of larger 6MB level-three cache, thinner 45nm process technology as well as micro-architectural improvements that boost instructions per clock (IPC) throughput.

Sniper also spotted this PCIe-based SSD. The ioXtreme brings high-end PC users 80 GB of PCI-Express based, high-performance, solid state storage that was designed for the world’s fastest supercomputers.
