Design for Extreme Performance SSD - CORSAIR Neutron GTX

These years, Solid-State Drive becomes key weapon to enhance PC performance.
For 3D performance, VGA is the key. For multi-tasking and graphic design, high end CPU is the must.
Besides these, for on/off PC, saving files or executing programs all need SSD.
Intel and AMD launched several native SATA3 chipset in 2 years.
Now, every SSD providers are designing for the best performance in SATA3 6Gb/s.

AMD A10-5800K with GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 OC Guide

AMD launched Llano APU with FM1 socket in July 2011.

Later on, AMD launched Socket FM2 in Oct 2012.

FM2 and FM1 CPU sockets are not compatible. Please be aware of it before upgrade.

In the past, the advantage of AMD platform was compatible sockets. It's too fast for this transition.

FM2 code is Trinity APU. It combines AMD AM3+ Bulldozer structure.

The price is lower to make APU platform parity.

Chipset can use A75 and A55, but supports FM2 Socket.

AMD also launched a new chipset for Trinity APU, more high end A85X.

CPU is current most high end Trinity APU, A10-5800K.

32nm, 4-Cores, 3.8GHz, Turbo Core to 4.2GHz

Max TDP is 100W and built-in GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7660D

FM1 and FM2 CPU are 32nm which is no improvement in manufacturing.

CORSAIR Obsidian Series 550D Quiet Case Sharing

CORSAIR USA is very aggressive in several hardware fields besides excellent memory performance.
In the beginning, they started from mid-end to hi-end Power Supply and SSD.
These couple years, they also launched Case, Cooling System, Audio and Vengeance Gaming (Mice/Keyboard/Headset).
It reminds me about CORSIAR Dream PC concept in Computex few years ago is in his steps.

效能再躍進之電話平板 - ASUS Fonepad 7開箱解析

以往對ASUS Padfone的印象就是一款4.3~5吋的智慧型手機
使用者可以再加購10吋平板模組，安裝後可以做為平板電腦使用
今年中ASUS發表一款名稱顛倒的產品，產品名稱為Fonepad
直接翻譯為電話平板，顧名思義是以電話功能為輔，平板功能為主的產品
簡單說就是一款7吋平板電腦，也同時搭載支援3G電話的功能

近期大螢幕智慧型手機大多是4.7~6吋，剛上市價格幾乎都破兩萬元台幣
雖然這幾個月來少數兩款較為平價、規格沒有那麼高的大螢幕手機出現
不過目前Fonepad台幣不到九千元，在螢幕尺寸與價位方面還是擁有蠻大的優勢
先前Fonepad一代為ME371，分為16G與32G版本，顏色有金、灰兩色
本回主角為Fonepad 7，第二代型號ME372CG，台灣市場上只有8G版本
首先看到Fonepad 7外盒包裝，顏色有白色與黑色可以選擇
