 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.

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.

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.

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.

Today is the last day of our visit at CeBIT 2009 and you can expect this report tomorrow. But for today we present you second part of Asus products and our impressions with Biostar’s booth. Although ASUS focused on Eee PC brand, on this year’s CeBIT core components are still their most important product portfolio. So today we will focus on ASUS motherboards, graphics cards and sound cards. On the other side is BIOSTAR with some very interesting products, especially motherboards.
