Intel have confirmed they will be bundling liquid coolers with Sandy Bridge E CPUs. The bundled liquid-based thermal solution – to be offered with boxed microprocessors and sold separately - will be the first time for Intel to officially support enthusiast-class coolers and will also create an additional selling point of Intel’s next-generation Sandy Bridge E-series (SNB-E) microprocessors in LGA2011 form-factor. Besides, bundling liquid cooler with a CPU will indisputably increase popularity of such solutions among overclocking community.
There's a big graphics patch for RAGE on Steam now, but this won't fix all the issues people are having with the game, apparently. John Carmack and Tim Willits have responded to criticism about the PC version, explaining that consoles were the main target for the game. We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games. That statement will enrage some people, but it is hard to characterize it otherwise; both console versions will have larger audiences than the PC version. A high end PC is nearly 10 times as powerful as a console, and we could unquestionably provide a better experience if we chose that as our design point and we were able to expend the same amount of resources on it. Tech Report have their review posted, and Rage discussion continues in this thread.
Say what you like about Apple's disappointing iPhone 4S announcement, but they have apparently pre-sold a million units in the first 24 hours. More info here. Despite the record-breaking pace of iPhone 4S pre-orders, it's hard to determine whether consumer demand is stronger for the new device than it was for previous versions. Although first-day orders for the iPhone 4 were 600,000 when it launched last year, Australia and Canada weren't among the launch countries then -- they got the phone a month later. Discussion here.
Games.on.net have posted their thoughts on BF3. When it comes to a game as phenomenally, site-crashingly popular as Battlefield 3, we can't stop at just one person's opinion. Hardcore FPS maniac James Pinnell, former pro-gamer turned eSports writer Alex Walker and hollering idiot Tim Colwill sat down for an exhausting round table on all things Battlefield 3, Origin and Battlelog. Discussion here.
