FUD Zilla thinks NVIDIA's focus on CUDA may be the reason why they recently lost the graphics crown to ATI: Nvidia has allocated too many brains and resources from its primary target gaming and graphics to mainstream computing and therefore it managed to lost its market dominance to ATI. ATI has the technology lead with its 55nm process, DirectX 10.1 and the performance is now at ATI's hand....

Earlier today Overclockers.co.uk had a listing on its website of three Intel X58 based motherboards. As expected, these boards won't be cheap. The British shop has already deleted the items but FUD Zilla has all the details. Prices range from £234.99 to £281.99: Starting with the Intel board, which is the cheapest of the three, it'll set you back £234.99 (303/$413) which is a lot of cash to...

It took a lot longer than expected, but NVIDIA's MCP7A-S is expected to be available within a week or so. FUD Zilla heard several big manufacturers, such as ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI, have finished their designs and are ready to ship the boards by the middle of the month. MCPA7-S is Nvidia's first integrated chipset for Intel socket 775, DMA chipsets and Nvidia finally got its act together and...

It's rumoured that NVIDIA will cut some of its partners in Europe to give its biggest partners some more breathing space and according to FUD Zilla it will be the following five players: Albatron, Biostar, Club3D, ECS and Foxconn. Last week we managed to find out two names of partners that will be gone from Nvidia partner list, at least in EU and now we got the full monty. We've already mentioned...

FUD Zilla had a chat with Corsair and heard the memory maker hasn't rolled out a line of solid state disks yet because they believe the technology isn't mature enough. It seems Corsair will wait until there are faster and much cheaper solid state chips on the market. Corsair thinks that these drives have too many compatibility problems, that the capacity is too small for desktop and gaming...

FUD Zilla heard NVIDIA will cut five of its partners and believes Club3D and Foxconn might be on that list: We will try to get more details who are the other three but the decision has been made and these partners will be cut in Europe. The number of partners will drop to a more reasonable level as with twenty four partners it is very hard to make money, especially if you don't have the sexiest...

Intel is planning to release a Core 2 Duo T9800 notebook processor, this chip will be clocked at 2.93GHz with a 1066MHz FSB and 6MB L2 cache. FUD Zilla reports the T9800 will debut for $530 in Q1 2009. The current plan is that dual and quad cores for notebooks launched in September should hold the water before this new Q1 2009 speed update comes. This clock update is rather evolutionary, nothing...

FUD Zilla writes the upcoming AM3 processors from AMD will work in existing AM2 motherboard: AM3 and AM2 sockets are pin compatible, but naturally some of the AM3 pins are for DDR3 memory while in AM2 they are for DDR2 memory. Since Deneb and later Propus and other 45nm CPUs have a combo memory controller, the CPU will be able to support both DDR2 and DDR3 memory. Our sources said that the...

FUD Zilla published a photo of a X58-based dual-CPU server motherboard: We've managed to get a picture of what should be one of the first boards of this kind and as you can see, it looks slightly different from the dual CPU Nehalem/Xeon boards we've seen so far. It only has four memory slots per CPU for starters, although only three can be used for triple-channel DDR3 and we're not sure if anyone...

FUD Zilla says it will take until Q2 2009 before NVIDIA and ATI can roll out their 40nm GPUs at TSMC. This is quite dangerous for Nvidia as they won't be able to prepare or react on ATI 40nm RV870 line and if Nvidia ends up slower than ATI's next generation, it will have a major impact on Nvidia as a graphics chip company. Nvidia wanted to get its 40nm chips before ATI but TSMC simply won't...

FUD Zilla claims memory maker Corsair is in bad shape. The site says the firm has lost lots of marketshare to OCZ and writes Corsair has fired quite a few people: The company fired quite a few people, including some of the VPs, and at the same time it is being very quiet on the new product side. There haven't been new announcements for quite some time, and it looks that the company is a bit...

FUD Zilla claims NVIDIA is developing an improved version of SLI, the rumour mill says SLI 2 will use two graphics cards for graphics and another one for physics: SLI 2 = SLI + PhysX and this cannot be more simplified. We don't know when will this launch but the new driver that supports PhysX is finally out so any board with three PCI express slots should be able to cope with this new SLI 2....
