- UltraMegaFilms, on 10/16/2009, -0/+60for the love of *****, cheap ssd's already...
- Jaime2000, on 10/17/2009, -3/+43Does the technology of the year 2010 include such wonderful advances as the ability to not splitting articles into five ***** pages?
- th3heretic, on 10/16/2009, -1/+29FTA: "which means in the real world you might see transfer speeds up to around 400 megabytes per second"
If I even get 100mb/s from a USB 3.0 device I will be impressed. The part on USB seems to neglect the fact a 7200rpm drive can only read at ~80mb/s, a SSD can read near 225mb/s, there is simply no way we will see speeds of 400MB/s - Spirods, on 10/17/2009, -1/+27cant they do something to eliminate those big dark panels around the screens?
- mrgr8avill, on 10/16/2009, -1/+26mmm. 6x30" monitors in grid configuration! The sale of personal lubricant will go through the roof!
- NidStyles, on 10/17/2009, -1/+21""In some respects, these new GPUs will actually bring PC graphics hardware just a little closer to game consoles, as DirectX 11 builds on and enhances the tessellation features built into the Xbox 360 GPU.""
Wait, what!? Console's use hardware from two generation's ago. Tessellation is nothing new either. What a joke. Maximum PC should at least check the fact's before publishing this tripe. It's not even close to being accurate. What can I expect from wroter's that don't every know what CUDA actually is.
Buried for mis-information. - KragTheDigger, on 10/17/2009, -1/+15But there was absolutely nothing new in this article! If you keep a tab at all on these things, you knew already about the state of the Intel CPUs, and the DirectX 11 GPUs (ATI Evergreen family and NVIDIA's Fermi/maybe) and so on so forth..
I bought this magazine when it hit stands, and read through it all. It's a good article in many aspects.. but if that's the technology preview for 2010.. it means there's no big news - mrgr8avill, on 10/16/2009, -1/+15It'll help when two devices are sharing a single port, though.
- N0DIGGITY, on 10/17/2009, -0/+13"brings pc graphics closer to game consoles"
...lol, I read that as PC graphics will be getting much worse soon! oops - vikingboy, on 10/17/2009, -0/+12the technology is here already and its called autopager extension for firefox
- backwardscompat, on 10/16/2009, -0/+11Mmmmmmmmmmm... 32nm....
- inactive, on 10/17/2009, -0/+10The moment i read that i got pissed off and closed the tab. PC's today are like 10X more powerfull than a puny PS3. Console graphics are a joke compared to PC's.
- jjintheuk, on 10/17/2009, -2/+11Really? Where do you get your 80c 1TB hard drives from, and where do you get your 2,500 spindle of DVD's for $1?
Someone needs to learn some maths, or at least know how to use numbers and decimals properly - Shoreyline, on 10/17/2009, -0/+8Thinner, Bigger this and faster that. every year it's the same, minus touch screens finally coming into mainstream, but what about the Batteries? Batteries, people! Where are the longer lasting batteries and when??? :(
- catalysis, on 10/17/2009, -0/+7lol, emachine is a brand.
- hoju7887, on 10/17/2009, -0/+6They weren't trying to say consoles have better graphics capabilities than PC's. They were pointing out the fact that the way games are developed using API's for the xbox360 have been using tessellation since it was a proprietary GPU that was built from the ground up. Tessellation is used to some extent in desktop GPUs, but it is by no means standard.
- greevar, on 10/17/2009, -0/+6Another ***** HDCP port? OMG!!! People who bought our blue ray movies might want to actually make copies for backups! We can't have that! Let's make a content protection system that forces people to buy a new copy if they want a "backup" and we'll say it's to fight piracy! LOL consumers are so dumb! They don't know we're trying to rip them off!
- QuitoPR, on 10/17/2009, -0/+6That's ***** huge for a cpu...
- danxmason, on 10/17/2009, -0/+63 monitors is enough. 1 for media. 2 for web. 3 for documents / applications / games.
USB 3 = mega win. Will wait for that to buy a computer. - explodingzebras, on 10/17/2009, -0/+5I use dual monitors, but i dont have everything full screened accross them, its more about having two different things on each screen, without one of them taking all the focus.
- maisteri, on 10/17/2009, -0/+5No Light Peak :(
- sinembarg0, on 10/17/2009, -0/+5He must work for verizon.
- Axeman2063, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4If your going to the trouble and expense of getting six monitors...wouldn't it be easier to get a good digital projector? Same screen space with no monitor edges to break up the image (I personally can't stand that)
- TyIzaeL, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4Each page was fairly long, so I think it was acceptable in this case.
- master69better, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4Incremental upgrades in products which have been in the market forever:
a. new multicore processors from Intel/AMD, possibly for different market segments
b. a new graphics bus standard (PCIE 3.0) and a new version of DirectX hardware.
c. Storage - meh! My porn seeks more. It gets more.
d. Mobile broadband
What this means; wait to build a new machine from scratch until the mobo has all of the above supported. If you're a road warrior, continue to pay through the nostrils for somewhat faster internet.
Annoyances
c. Display port - because we're too lazy to turn the screws on DVI connectors? I thought HDMI was the slim all-in-one connector for the future (Each will serve its own market- grrrr). And we're going back to seperate cables for audio out again. Most people wont even need 2500 pixels, unless.....
d. Multi mega display walls - yay! Because I like bezels criss crossing my view and I don't know that 50+ inch HDTVs exist - not to mention 3,840 x 2,160p TVs of the future
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/toshiba-showing ...
e. Touch - because everyone saw how much of a woodie the world had for the Minority Report computer interface. Someone might even get it right, like the Optimus keyboard. - rushnerd, on 10/17/2009, -1/+57680x3200 resolution? O_O I never have to leave my room ever.
- valkyries, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4in the future they will split the article into 10 pages just to fit in more ads,
- N0DIGGITY, on 10/17/2009, -0/+4I wish you a happy go ***** yourself
- h0dges, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3Just press the Print button et voila!
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/17/2009, -1/+4That's not entirely true. If you are reading into memory or writing from memory then there is no bottleneck.
Ex: install crysis on ssd drive instead. - theCoffee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3What do want next Mr. Crazy, apes that play bagpipes?
- kevinmoore, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3Don't panic. Just because Maximum PC didn't mention Light Peak in their article doesn't mean it's not coming.
- akwok, on 10/18/2009, -0/+3You do realise that manufacturer battery ratings are nowhere even close to real-world performance?
- ahwang, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3a la h0dges:
http://www.maximumpc.com/print/8432 - waydee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+3What, like a couple of years ago?
Damn kids. - cheapo17, on 10/16/2009, -2/+4ahh brings back memories of my first 2gb emachine computer
- DirtyDiggberal, on 10/17/2009, -0/+2That's what she said.
- sinembarg0, on 10/17/2009, -0/+2a couple things wrong on displayport there:
displayport can carry audio, no need for separate cables.
here's an example of why DP can be more convenient than HDMI or DVI: you don't need any dual link cable or anything to get the resolution of a 30 inch display. This makes a huge difference in price for connecting something with minidisplayport to a large display. instead of having to buy apple's $100 dual link dvi adapter, you can buy a $15 miniDP to DP adapter, and use a dp cable. The prices of the actual cables compared to each other is negligible. And this doesn't really make a difference on non-Apple laptops. - jjintheuk, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1hahaha
- jjintheuk, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1I hope you choke on the tiniest nut, and die while gasping for breath
- catalyst2590, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1i was just making fun of how ram is now larger than hdds were only about 15 years ago
itll be crazy when in 15 years well have terabyte ram sticks
(ps i do know that emachines is a brand but when my family moved to america i was only 7 and i didnt know that) - cheapo17, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1I'm from america, and i meant 2 gb of hard drive space, and emachines is a brand of computer (not very popular now a days)
- theCoffee, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Yup, emachine is defiantly not a computer!
- DirtyDiggberal, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Defiantly or definitely?
- antdude, on 10/18/2009, -0/+11 print page (will prompt to print): http://www.maximumpc.com/print/8432
- sekhui, on 10/17/2009, -1/+2read CPU instead.
- Darksoul, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1There is no way SSD's will remain at that price for the next 18 months....
- anumv4ever, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1onsole's use hardware from two generation's ago. Tessellation is nothing new either. What a joke. Maximum PC should at least check the fact's before publishing this tripe. It's not even close to being accurate. What can I expect from wroter's that don't every know what CUDA actually is.
