This Guy Definitely Has More CPUs Than You Do

How many cores do you have?
single, dual core, quad core?

This guy will definitely get more cores than us even we count single cpu would get one core only.

DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D Gamer Motherboard

The "UT" part of the product name destines that it has plastic parts (the slots, mainly) that are sensible to ultraviolet and therefore glow under a blacklight. Of course, unless you play in a black-lit room all the time, you'll need to buy a black-cathode-light for the inside of your case to make the best of this. But the burning slots are not what make this CPU gameboard unique.

You'll notice at once that the random computer memory slots are in a weird emplacement, for an nForce 4 gameboard. Commonly, they're toward the front side of the C.P.U., but in the nF4 Ultra-D, they're above it, toward the top margin of the CPU gameboard. We couldn't find reason to believe this was either good or bad, but it does slightly reposition the C.P.U.. You'll have no problem getting a large C.P.U. cooler on, but cases that have air ports aligned for C.P.U. cooling might not line up exactly with the C.P.U. socket location on this CPU gameboard. Power plugs and IDE/floppy ports are located in the usual place at the front margin of the gameboard.

Qualcomm to Ship Fastest Chips for Phone

Are you an Smartphone and Tablet user? Be happy! Qualcomm to ship fastest chips for phone.

Qualcomm will start shipping its fastest Snapdragon dual-core chip for smartphones and tablets in the fourth quarter, with devices possibly launching by the end of this year, the company said on Monday.

The company will ship the dual-core QSD8672 chip with CPU cores running at up to 1.5GHz, said Mark Frankel, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. The chip could go into smartphones, tablets and low-cost laptops, he said.

Frankel pegged the launch date for devices with the new chip for early next year, adding that aggressive vendors could launch products "by Christmas" -- or the fourth quarter -- this year, Frankel said.

The chip is a follow-up to the dual-core MSM8660 Snapdragon chip, which started shipping in the second quarter. The 8672 has a faster processor than 8660, which includes CPU cores running at 1.2GHz. The processor in the 8672 chip is based on an Arm design and will be manufactured using the 45-nanometer process.

The chip is similar to the 8660 design with a raft of improvements compared to its previous single-core chips, Frankel said. That should bring better power management and performance to devices, Frankel said.

Comparing Computer Processors

Most people know that when buying a new computer, it's important to look at the CPU speed and the amount of RAM (Memory) is installed.  But start talking about different type of processors, and confusion quickly sets in.

Intel and AMD are the two biggest manufacturers of Computer Processors (CPU's) and for the average consumer, it really doesn't matter much today which one you get.  This isn't true for online gamers where speed is very important. But for the rest of us, who don't want to spend top dollar for the latest and greatest processor and don't need nano-second speed advantages ... the average CPU is usually sufficient.

For those who do care, there is a great site with side by side comparisons of CPU benchmark tests that you may find useful.
