Sooo, the iPad 2 has arrived, with more info here. Contrary to the rumours, the new iPad 2 has been improved a lot internally. Faster processor, faster graphics, HDMI full HD output, the 720p HD camera on the back, the frontal VGA camera… it’s quite a new beast. Most people don't seem all that excited about it, though. Discussion here.
AMD's 6990 dual-GPU card is on display at CeBIT, but not officially launched yet - USA date is March 8th. The details regarding the clocks might change but for now the card works at 830MHz for the GPU and 1250MHz (5.0Gbps) for a total of 4GB of memory (2GB for each GPU) paired up with a 2x256-bit memory interface. The press kit has been leaked too. Sweclockers have a non-English video. Discussion continues here.
I'm not normally into unboxing videos but here's one from ASUS, showing off a new Mini-ITX AMD Fusion/Brazos board which looks fairly tasty.
Meanwhile Gigabyte announced their X58-OC "overclocking motherboard". Youngpro actually checked it out in some detail in the forums here a few days ago. From the pictures already released you can see this board means business, with an IO panel that looks like it lost a leg in the war to features such as OC-VRM and OC-Touch it's clear this board has potential to be a serious contender.
Shaun spotted this video showing what happens when you upgrade through every version of Windows. An experiment to see the effects of installing every major upgrade version of windows, in order, on the same machine. The voicever is fairly amusing too.
Google has pulled the malware-infected apps we mentioned yesterday. "We should point out that this vulnerability was patched with Gingerbread, meaning any device running Android 2.3+ should be fine," Aaron Gingrich of the Android Police, wrote in a blog post. "The hole was fixed by Google, but it's relatively useless since many phones aren't yet running a version of Android that is protected."
AMD have previewed Llano and Sandy Bridge in a side-by-side video. The three-minute clip shows the screens of two laptops as they run a graphics-heavy benchmark. One laptop is running a Core i7-2630QM processor (a.k.a. Sandy Bridge in its quad-core incarnation), while the other sports Llano, AMD's upcoming mainstream accelerated processing unit.
