Okay, this is a big one. I think the Fermi (GTX 470/480) news is about to dry up, so I'll be working on a wrap-up later on today. That said, there's plenty of news about it from CeBit, so I'll post the links here too. We've also got some great gaming news and other CeBit revelations, mostly from Fudzilla, so he gets his own section this time around.
Fudzilla:
- OCZ still working on its Z-Drive series
- OCZ shows its full Sandforce based SSD lineup
- AMD's six-core Thuban pixellized
- Nec USB 3.0 chip rakes in dough while Intel stays silent
- OCZ moves NIA to an another level
- Thermaltake forays into gaming peripheral market
- Powercolor does two Eyefinity cards
Fudzilla Fermi:
- GTX 480 to have a 300W TDP
- Partners still don't have Fermi final specs
- Pixellized GTX 480 might not be a final design
- GTX 470 to have two 6-pin connectors
- Nvidia to have sufficient GTX 480 at launch
- Nvidia officially shows GTX 480 score vs 5870
Everybody Else:
- TechEYE: Heise gets Fermi benchmarks
- BSN: Corsair launches new Force line of Sandforce-based SSDs
- BSN: nVidia retracts WHQL-certified "CPU Killing Drivers"
- Tech Report: Just Cause 2 PC demo arrives on Steam
- Tech Report: First official Crysis 2 screenshots released
- Tech Report: Intel plans unlocked Clarkdale or Lynnfield CPU
- TG Daily: Severe vulnerability found in RSA encryption
Just a note about the RSA vulnerability: this process requires voltage modifications that must be done in direct contact to the machine holding the key. It also took over 100 hours of hacking to make it happen. This should not be thought of as a serious security risk, but is provided as a neat proof of concept idea.
