The Razer Blade is a gaming laptop created in collaboration with Razer, Intel, and NVIDIA that is lightweight, portable, and a true powerhouse with an excellent interface that puts it on par with modern desktops. Specs and video after the jump.
Many years ago, when gaming on PC held a secondary position to games on consoles, Microsoft introduced the DirectX and pulled in the famous Doom from id software to bring PC gaming industry up to the level of consoles. However, the cycle seems to have completed with the consoles getting to be the more definitive in terms of the power in their configurations and the large quantities in which they have been sold throughout the world, pushing the PC gaming slowly but surely towards oblivion. In response to this increasing competition from the console gaming industry, the PC Gaming Alliance, with members such as AMD, Nvidia, Microsoft, Capcom, Dell, Epic Games, Sony DADC, Intel and Razer, had been created in order to keep alive the segment of PC games.
As it turns out, the roadmap given out last month by NVIDIA listing out its future concepts was actually a correct reflection of the company’s plans. There were echoes of disbelief when the silicon giant declared a quad-core Tegra chip could come out in the near future, with many calling it a marketing gimmick to keep customers looking up to it. However, it is now official that such chips do exist, with NVIDIA even claiming to have handed some out to their prospective clients for testing. Codenamed Kal-El (hardly contentious considering that its closest competitors are still galaxies behind), the chip is likely to be called the Tegra 3 when it is made available in the consumer market.
The latest to come out of Nvidias doors, the first wireless computer graphics card for consumers. It is a PCIe 2.0 card and uses five aerials to stream uncompressed 1080p video from your PC to your WHDI enabled television (or any display courtesy of the bundled 5GHz WHDI receiver) at a range of about 100 feet.
I always wonder what it would be like have $1.5 billion deposited in your bank account would be like? Well the graphic card manufacturer nVidia just signed a deal with Intel that ends a two year lawsuit and gives Intel continued use of Nvidia technology.
Verizon is adding yet another Droid into their family, and this one will be the most powerful yet. The Motorola Droid Bionic, one of the most powerful phones in the market, will be coming to Verizon retailers near you soon.
Now that AMD has been taking the lead in performance and power consumption for a while, Nvidia has been forced to take all necessary measures to recoup the performance crown. One such measure is abandoning the high performance computing (HPC) and GPGPU capability which was one of the cornerstones of the Fermi architecture which powered the GTX 480 family.

NVIDIA introduced the NVIDIA GeForce 400M series of graphics processing units (GPUs). The building blocks for the next-generation of NVIDIA Optimus and NVIDIA 3D Vision notebooks that are coming onto the market from Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba, with others set to announce soon.
Main stream gaming has just gotten so much better with nVidia releasing their second chip into the “Fermi Family.” Should ATi be worried about this?
Following numerous delays, the Fermi 100 was released and reviewed with jaded enthusiasm of an audience that had already seen ATi/AMD bring a similar product to the market long ago. The new chip, the GF104, aims to appease mainstream gamers need for high-end graphics. Makes sense that nVidia would release a chip into the overly saturated market and competitive market that ATi/AMD has made.
