Itchin’ to know what’s powering Nintendo’s latest and greatest portable? Wonder in a sea of mystery no more dear reader. Instead of the standard Nvidia Tegra fan fare, a DMP PICA200 with a 200MHz clock speed is used. With that, up to 15.3 million polygons per second, 800 million pixels, and full-screen anti-aliasing are on tap and any given point to wow you into 3D oblivion. It’s certainly plenty powerful to produce some rather stunning visuals,...

I love geeky clothing. And I’m not just talking about some run of the mill t-shirt with some clever, digital play on words. Honest to goodness “Woah, that’s awesome” type of stuff. The Nike Circuit Shoes created by Gabriel Dishaw aren’t technically Nike’s at all. They’re just modeled to look like that. The coolness factor that simply oozes out of the circuit laden footwear is too cool to ignore. A good end table piece for...

Intel’s next-gen Sandy Bridge platform (1155) has received plenty of attention over the last few weeks as images of it have been strewn across the web thanks to Computex 2010. But today we finally have a little more info to go with those specs. Coolaler was able to get their mitts on an engineering sample to glean some much sought after benchmark-age off of it. As hardware/PC builders have probably already gathered, the tested model — which ran at 2.5GHz and...

Tired of desperately searching for a powerful yet svelte laptop to carry with you on life’s journeys while still getting 5+ hours of battery life? Currently the two words “powerful” and “runtime” don’t go together. To have one you must sacrifice the other. But Intel has something up their sleeve… Would you consider a netbook/ultra portable laptop powered by some anemic ULV processor? For anyone who actually uses a laptop, the...

School — it’s a time for fall, school supplies, falling leaves, and…processors? Yes, says Intel. In Q4 of this year, a new Core i5 580m processor will debut bringing with it more speed and power. Specifically, the 580m will be clocked at 2.66GHz, up from the old predecessors 2.53GHz. Even better, the super speedy TurboBoost feature that overclocks a single core when multiple aren’t needed will apparently push the 580m up to a rather brisk 3.33GHz...
