Meet the World’s First 45nm Transistors – Intel? 45nm Transistor Technology
Biggest Change to Computer Chips in 40 Years Means More Performance for Exponentially Less Cost
In one of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design,
Intel will use dramatically different transistor materials to build the
hundreds of millions of microscopic 45 nanometer (nm) transistors
inside the next generation of the company’s Intel? Core?2 family of
processors. Intel already has the world’s first 45nm CPUs in-house -
the first of at least fifteen 45nm processor products in development.
This new transistor breakthrough will allow Intel to continue
delivering record-breaking PC, laptop and server processor speeds while
reducing the amount of electrical leakage from transistors that can
hamper chip and PC design, size, power consumption, noise and costs. It
also ensures that Moore’s Law, a high-tech industry axiom that
transistor counts double about every two years to deliver ever more
functionality at exponentially decreasing cost, thrives well into the
next decade.

technologies to deliver the highest levels of performance, stability
and application compatibility for Microsoft Windows Vista(tm)
users.Based on an unprecedented collaboration between Microsoft and
AMD, Windows Vista harnesses AMD silicon and software to deliver truly
immersive computing experiences, new tools for creating and sharing
multimedia content and enhanced capabilities for locating and securing
data. AMD and Microsoft have worked closely and continue to
collaborate on Windows Vista(tm) development and requirements to bring
hardware and software benefits together for our mutual customers. In
addition, AMD64 processor-based systems were one of the platforms on
which Windows Vista was developed, built, tested and optimized.
ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP Edition Motherboard Review @ HardwareLogic
Quote: "Reviewing motherboards can be a tough job. A simple truth of computing is that very little actually separates comparable products when run at the same speed, and for those not pushing their system to the overclocking limit, choosing the right motherboard comes down to the price as well as what you get for your money. We here at HardwareLogic have always advocated getting the best bang for your buck, and being a site that focuses more on features and value, than pure overclocking performance, we tend to look at things a little differently than most sites."

IN WIN Alpha 360 Case Review @ HardwareLogic
"Today Hardware takes a look at a contemporary and innovative enclosure from IN WIN. When we look for the proper case to build our machine, we look at things like (but not limited to) price, performance, eye appeal, and the ability to get the job done. The Alpha 360 microATX chassis is flawlessly designed to be ergonomic and aerodynamic. Its oval shaped design accentuates individual elegance not available in any other chassis."

Fanatec Head$hot Controller Review @ Gamepyre.com
"If you?re looking for a mouse+mousepad combination, the Fanatec Head$hot is an excellent combination with some caveats, offering the accuracy of the latest high-end mice from Logitech and a built-in mousepad with three USB ports that you can add other devices to. Where the Head$hot falls short is the relatively high cost of the combination and the short cord for the mouse if you want to use it in a system."
D.i.R.T. Origin of the Species Review @ Gamepyre.com
"This game could have been a lot better, with a bit more polishing before release, but unfortunately, this is all too common of game makers recently. The level design and character scripting needs quite a bit of work, and that?s just starting the list. On the plus side this game has a $30 price tag, which is all right; maybe $5-$10 cheaper would be more in line with what you get."
