A new study released by Net Applications indicates that a decreasing percentage of the Internet population is using Windows as their operating system. It appears that Mac OS X could soon be listed in the double digit-range, while Windows could fall below the 90% mark.

Verizon’s chief Ivan Seidenberg reveals interesting details about plans to leapfrog AT&T to become the largest wireless carrier in the US. In a rare interview Seidenberg commented on rumors that Verizon is up for a sale and fired a couple of jealous shots at Steve Jobs.
Although 80 percent of the US population now owns a mobile phone, Seidenberg says wireless carriers have discovered a new revenue stream in form of high-volume data traffic over the cell network for email and web surfing activities popularized…

AMDs Radeon 4850 and 4870 have been widely praised in the media and put the ATI team back on the map. But it appears that we have just seen a small portion of what the ATI guys have in space for users. The new boards are actually running at well below the clock speed they can support and these cards will be challenging Nvidia’s very best.

You may not know somebody that bought a PhysX card, but if you’re a PC gamer with a relatively recent NVIDIA card, you’ve already got one. Or, at least, you will soon.A proportion of the 3D card’s power can be given over to running physics, giving those fancy PhysX-style interactions without actually having a specific card for it.
The primary idea NVIDIA was trying to push was Optimised PC - the approach discussed in Rob Fahey's interview with Roy Taylor the other day. The idea being that the traditional PC approach where you buy the fastest PC processor you can…
AMD is in the process of pushing new high-end features into their Linux driver — such as Multi-GPU CrossFire support — and with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 they have even begun showing off Tux, the Linux mascot, on their product packaging and providing Linux drivers on their product CDs!
While AMD has been making great strides in both their open and closed source investments, their performance-oriented proprietary driver isn't yet feature equivalent to the Windows Catalyst Suite and they have had problems delivering…

We’re happy to roll out the beta nVidia client, it’s a nice beta, and so here we go…
Return to Beta testing the GPU2 Win client (nVidia GPUs)
TG Daily stumbled across more details about Nvidias upcoming graphics card, which surely looks more and more like a processing monster. However, not many GT200 chips will actually fit on a 300 mm wafer at TSMC. Nvidia has come up with a huge die measuring 24 x 24 mm, resulting in a die area size of 576 mm2.
Zagreb (Croatia) ? While travelling in Europe we stumbled across more details about Nvidia?s upcoming graphics card, which surely looks more and more like a processing monster to us. The upcoming GeForce GTX 260/280 GPUs are based on the…

This book of articles on modern graphics programming techniques, particularly for games, has just been released freely online. An invaluable resource for both beginners and experienced hands in games and graphics programming.
The first effects of fast, programmable GPUs are subtle. Previously difficult graphics problems become much more tractable through the application of one thousand-fold performance increases. Offline rendering techniques become more practical…

nVidia’s CEO is still rampaging across the media circuit, shouting about Intel to anyone who will listen.
A few days ago Brooke Crothers from cNet's Nanotech blog posted some comments by an analyst from CRT Capital Group that I thought were spot on:”Huang seems to believe that Nvidia's graphics solutions are better than Intel's…
It has been almost two years since NVIDIA released a new flagship chipset for the AMD platform, despite the release of quad-core Phenoms and AMD’s competing 7-series chipsets. Today NVIDIA has launched their nForce 780a SLI chipset that supports 32 lanes of PCI Express Gen 2, 3-way SLI, and a new mode called Hybrid SLI.
As we've already mentioned, the flagship model in the nForce 700a series of chipsets is the 780a SLI. We've got a high-level overview of the chipset below and then we'll talk a bit about the nForce 750a SLI as well.

Slap on a B to the processor name and you have a business class processor. At least that is what AMD is going to tell you. Do you buy it?
Sunnyvale (CA) ? There is no denying that desktop CPU sales are on what seems to be an unstoppable decline. Intel expects to begin shipping more notebook processors than desktop CPUs sometime later this year and while AMD may be trailing…

Just a short tidbit, but it has all the makings of a great soap opera. First chapter: Intel thinks the CPU can be a GPU. Second chapter: Nvidia is offended. Third chapter (where we are right now): Nvidia fires back and says the CPU is dead. Wonderful! Can there be a more entertaining piece just before the weekend? Sit back and enjoy!
