As always, Cooler Master likes to present a lot of new stuff at CeBIT. Although their stand was not at the public part it was filled with new products. The new Silent Pro got its Platinum suffix, and moved into a different family of products, and for now only 550W, and 1000W models are shown, and price tags are sky high for them, which is understandable once you include its efficiency in a equation.

Triple fan cooling solution is something that Gigabyte made for their top model graphic cards. Its WindForce cooling got new technology called „Triangle cooled“. WindForce 3X is the new name for this package and it features triangular shaped part of the cooler’s body which stands on top of the base and enhances the speed of heat dissipation. That, combined with three fans promises a really cool environment for GPU and memory parts of graphic cards. 

As always Verbatim has introduces “few” interesting products on this years CeBIT. One of the first products that caught our attention was USM product line. These storage units use standardized Universal Storage Module connector that can be used to connect your device to other devices or interfaces. New computer case models, such as Lenovo model that we saw at Verbatim booth, will have one of these USM connectors and allow you to easily plug-in these storage units. Also, for Verbatim USM storage drives will be available different accessories that will allow your device to use any of 4 most popular interfaces: USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800 or Thunderbolt.

Although they don’t have the big booth and a lot stuff exposed to eyes of every visitor, in the planet reseller part of this year CeBIT, there are a couple of new things that we found. First of all, MSI focused on new Intel Ivy Bridge motherboards, Z75, Z77, and of course the most promising model – the one with B75 chipset.

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.

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.
