EliteBook 8740W: Notebook With NVIDIA Quadro Fermi

HP re-affirm its status as one of the largest notebook manufacturer and the first to implement the latest technology with the release of new notebooks for the professional segment. This notebook called EliteBook 8740W equipped with NVIDIA Quadro FX 5000m.

EliteBook 8740W is designed for 17-inch size and this machine has a very strong case to protect it from extreme temperatures, humidity and resistant to impact. As the center of computing, the notebook is equipped by an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition supports a maximum of 16GB of RAM.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 5000m which was alluded to earlier, has a number of core pieces 320 and 2GB of GDDR5 memory. As information, vga card specification is deducted from the desktop version which has a core of fruit and 352 DDR5 memory of 2.5GB.

"In recent decades, the Quadro is the choice of professionals. We have also built like Axe Engine to support the latest generation of manufacturing applications. When you marry the two technologies is the Fermi architecture, the result is the latest version of Quadro performance that has many times more than anything on the market today, "straightforward Jeff Brown, general manager of NVIDIA Professional Solutions Group.

The statement was the latest HP notebooks reinforce these skills, this course will be a powerful solution for professionals to support their performance.
 
Unfortunately HP has not officially announced the availability of this product on the market, so that the professionals still have to wait to taste this powerful notebook. Still on the sale price, HP predicted this fairly expensive with prices around $ 2,676.

ASUS Design a Monster Graphics Card "MARS II"

Nvidia is not sure when it will make a dual GPU graphics card based Fermi, but does not prohibit its partners, to create your own dual-GPU graphics cards Fermi. Partner, who already seems to have the design itself is ASUS. Can be sure the graphics card price will be very expensive with very large electric consumption.
 
ASUS is reportedly in the project making dual GPU graphics card, called MARS II. This graphics card is believed to be combining two of the fastest graphics card, the GeForce GTX 480. This graphics card is designed by combining two pieces GTX 480 chip in a single PCB. This monster will have a 2x388-bit memory interface, not less than 960-core CUDA, and 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM.
 
Basically, this monster has a high ability to sweep away all the DirectX 11 graphics card that already exists. With high ability is certainly not surprising that the MARS II requires a very large power, with high temperatures.
 
MARS II not only has one or two power connectors, but the three 8-pin power connector as well. More stunning again, ASUS ensure that MARS MARS II can be combined with other II, enabling the combination of Quad SLI. For cooling affairs, until now not known how large and how their shape. As usual, the available display connector still supports DVI, HDMI and Display Port.
 
Now we just wait it out, when this monster graphics cards will be available in the market. Given the very high capacity and price ASUS previous MARS, MARS II is estimated to cost above U.S. $ 1,000.
