It’s been more than a year since Acer first launched its Aspire Ethos line of laptops — a family that got a bit bigger today, with the announcement of the 8951G and 5951G. These rambunctious little extroverts are powered by the latest generation of Intel’s Core i processors, offering Turbo Boost speeds of up to 3.4GHz.

It wasn’t that long ago that we were commending ATI on the stellar regularity of its product launches while NVIDIA was floundering, yet now the roles are reversed and we’re seeing NVIDIA flesh out its second generation of Fermi products with the midrange GeForce GTX 550 Ti presented today. Its biggest attraction is a $150 price tag, but it makes a major concession in order to reach that pricing plateau — there are only 192 CUDA cores inside it, equal to the previous-gen GTS 450 , but less than the celebrated GTX 460 . NVIDIA tries to ameliorate that shortage of parallel processing units by running the ones it has at an aggressive 1800MHz allied to a 900MHz graphics clock speed, and it also throws in a gigabyte of RAM running at an effective rate of 4GHz

NVIDIA sends GeForce GTX 550 Ti into the $150 graphics card wars

Why, it was only yesterday that we were eyeballing a dual-GF104 board from Galaxy, presuming it an artifact of a 2010 project that went nowhere, but there’s at least one NVIDIA partner that’s going to deliver exactly such a creation, and soon at that! EVGA has just set loose the details of a new GTX 460 2Win graphics card, which ticks along at 700MHz, has 672 cumulative CUDA cores served by 2GB of GDDR5, and reportedly collects more 3D Marks than NVIDIA’s finest card out at the moment, the GTX 580 .

The wait on AMD’s Fusion has been so long that we feel like we should pop open the bubbly every time another laptop ships with it.

We’ve just seen what AMD’s Fusion platform can do for a laptop, and it looks like we’ll soon also be seeing it in a lot more devices — AMD has just announced its new Fusion-based Embedded G-Series platform, which can be used for things like set-top boxes, in-car computers, small form factor PCs, and more. That platform include the low-power x86 “Bobcat” core we’ve seen all along and a “world-class” DirectX 11-capable GPU, which AMD says adds up to a level of advanced computing that simply isn’t available in the embedded market today. Among the first products based on the platform to be announced are a pair of Mini-ATX boards from Fujitsu and three SFF systems from Kontron, which will be joined by a range of other products from various manufacturers that are expected to launch in the “coming weeks.” Head on past the break for the complete press release, plus a video of a G-Series-based car computer that AMD was demoing at CES.

Tick, the CPU and GPU get integrated into the same 32nm die , tock, they both go down to 22nm with the latter gaining DirectX 11 support. Intel’s only just unveiled its Sandy Bridge processors, but the next update to the company’s desktop and laptop hardware has already gained an important detail.

You saw the key specs slip out a little ahead of time, now it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the GeForce GTX 580 has been thoroughly benchmarked to see if its claim to being ” the world’s fastest DirectX 11 GPU ” stands up to scrutiny. In short, yes it does. The unanimous conclusion reached among the reviewers was that the 580 cranks up the performance markedly relative to the GTX 480 — with some citing gains between 10 and 20 percent and others finding up to 30 percent improvements — while power draw, heat emissions, and noise were lowered across the board.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 reviewed: ‘what the GTX 480 should have been’
It might not be November 9 all around the world yet, but NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 580 has already had its spec sheet dished out to the world, courtesy of CyberPower’s seemingly early announcement. The new chip will offer a 772MHz clock speed, 512 processing cores, and a 192.4GBps memory bandwidth, courtesy of 1.5GB of GDDR5 clocked at an effective rate of 4GHz. CyberPower is strapping this beast into its finest rigs, and for additional overkill it’ll let you SLI up to three of them within one hot and steamy case.

The graphics card that doesn’t require a fridge-sized cooler is turning into something of a rarity nowadays, but we doubt the market for quiet, efficient, and halfway-decent GPUs is ever going to disappear completely. NVIDIA is fleshing out its Fermi family today with a creature that aspires to such epithets, the 96 CUDA core-equipped GT 430
