The UpdateI’ve spent the past few weeks catching up on some smartphone and Apple stuff and I’m happy to say that I’m almost done. I still have EVGA’s GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition to finish up and I’m currently chasing down a strange OS X vs. Windows 7 performance issue that I noticed in my most recent article. In short, it…
I saw this over at Engadget today, it’s a video of what many are assuming will be the next-generation Chocolate by LG. Two things stuck out about the phone; first, its form factor. It’s unusually long for a smartphone, but I do remember at least one more example of an unusually long smartphone:The phone above my iPhone in this pic is actually a mockup of a…
I got up early, went down to very sketchy Sprint store and bought a Palm Pre on Saturday. I’ve been playing with it and testing it ever since and before I finish the full review I thought I’d share some data with you all.First, battery life: Phone Web Browsing (Cell Network) Web Browsing (WiFi) Talk Time Apple iPhone 3G 218 minutes 400 minutes 289 minutes Palm…
A few weeks back I introduced you all to a tool I’d been working on for a while called Bench.Bench, in its current form, is a database of CPU performance data allowing you to compare virtually any modern day desktop CPUs. With the recent launch of the Core i7 975 and the Athlon II X2 processors there are now 78 individual CPUs represented in Bench.In my…
I had an epiphany the other day. Long time AnandTech readers will know that I used to do a far better job of keeping you guys apprised of what it was that I was working on. Somewhere along the way that got lost so today I’m going to try something…old, I guess. Here’s an update of what’s been going on.The WePC UpdateI’ve been working on a side…
It must be because this thing is so darn tiny that I don’t mind testing it all the time, but today’s short update marks the third follow up to our original Zotac Ion review. The original article crowned the Zotac Ion as the best Atom based mini-ITX board I’d ever encountered. It wasn’t a hard feat to accomplish, after all, there are…
In response to our first article on the first mini-ITX motherboard based on NVIDIA’s Ion platform, many of you asked enough questions that warranted a follow up. In said follow up I mentioned that wake-on-USB did not seem to work reliably on Zotac’s Ion motherboard. Today I’ve got confirmation, said feature does not work.
Zotac says that…
A few months ago I launched something we quickly titled “Bench”. The idea behind AnandTech Bench is that it’s a publicly accessible version of the database of benchmarks we’ve run internally. You can currently compare 34 AMD CPUs and 36 Intel CPUs in the engine across 18 benchmarks. I’m working on adding power data as well.
You can…
Hey guys, late last night I published an article on Blu-ray performance with NVIDIA’s Ion platform.
NVIDIA was quick to respond and they believe that the data isn’t correct and want some time to re-create my environment and test the titles themselves.
In the interest of being completely accurate I’ve pulled the article for now…
