  With the release of N95, Nokia was on seventh heaven - with no obstacles in sight, it was resting contentedly on its laurels, basking in the domination it had over any other mobile phone manufacturer. The income was such that the company could afford buying a giant such as Navteq, just because they thought that it would be an excellent feat to offer GPS navigation as a standard feature in mobile phones. Money was being invested boundlessly into the American market, where Nokia has never managed to gain a foothold, and the entire thing went as far as financing films where Nokia phones would exclusively be the ones displayed. The fact that the company had been practically recycling phone models for a while, with no significant innovation taking place as far as user interaction is concerned, went unnoticed to many.

  If you’ve been following our website, as well as other with similar orientation, you can’t have missed all the bombastic announcements concerning Intel’s then-upcoming new CPU generation, codenamed Sandy Bridge, as well as test results for three new CPUs against those from the previous generation, which we’ve recently published. The results were excellent, everything was great, enthusiasts were starting to rejoice over the coming of the new generation, making plans to replace their motherboards and CPUs, and Intel was in a never-better position to cement their position on the desktop and portable desktop market - and that’s when all hell broke loose.

  During the IFA fair at Berlin, we had the opportunity to talk to Leslie Sobon, Vice President, Worldwide Product Marketing at AMD. She provided us with answers to some of the questions that had been bothering us for some time, and we also received some insight into the future.

We were one of the first (very first maybe) to go behind the scene at AMD booth at IFA Berlin and to take a sneak peak of Ontario APU platform while working. Unfortunately, we can’t share any pictures, but we can assure you that Ontario test platform is alive and kicking. Aside successfully working with Windows 7 OS, it did manage to accomplish several other things, but more on that later on. As it was stated on test motherboard, the silicon used was A0, with integrated UVD (most probably version 3.0). During the test, very small and basic cooling solution was used, but it still managed to keep APU cooled at around normal body temperature even under heaviest loads.

 AMD has started promoting its new Fusion concept, which, among other things, encompasses central and graphics processor on the same piece of silicon. This approach is significantly different from the existing integration of the competitive company, and we came in contact with Samuel Naffziger, AMD Senior Fellow, who explained how they thought this whole system and which are the important innovations comparing to the current approach.

 Last week during CES in Las Vegas NVIDA held a sort of Deep Drive conference where they shared some new info regarding GF 100 – Graphics Fermi. As you have probably concluded by now, it is a codename for their upcoming series of graphic cards. Final name wasn’t reveled, but I think that nobody would be surprised to see something like GTX 360 and GTX 380 on the launch day, similar to 200 series launch. Speaking about launch day, that one wasn’t reveled either, actually, there were no more info other than “It is in mass production now” and “… it will be shipped this quarter”, so we are purely speculating when we say that Cebit time launch and late March availability wouldn’t be so much a surprise.

  Did you ever ask yourself how ATI drivers are made, and who makes them? Well, first of all, there are three teams that work on the same driver code at the same time! Why? Continue reading this interesting interview that we had opportunity to conduct with Terry Makedon, Catalyst drivers maker for AMD/ATI graphics cards, and you will found out.

 AMD is scheduled to very soon introduce their new series of graphic cards named Evergreen. But before that, at AMD press event we had opportunity to glimpse at very interesting feature, called Eyefinity. At it's basic this is multi-display technology, in some aspects similar to already known Matrox solutions, but without additional costs for box and more software. Together with Directx 11, DirectCompute 11 and Open CL support, this feature should be one of the focus points, as it enables playing games on multi-display setup, making gaming extraordinary experience.

 During press event in Munich, Germany, one of the topics was AMD's new branding strategy – “Vision”. New branding names are usually so exciting, but there is a catch now, new marketing scheme de-emphasizes AMD's own brand in favor of what a customer can actually do with the machine. As a result, the OEM brand will become the PC's selling point, meaning that you will sometime in a future buy new branded laptop that will be Vision sticker, but without AMD sticker on it.
