IBM announced its new 476FP system-on-chip (SoC) processor today, and claims the new design will offer more than twice the processing power of its predecessor (in theory). The company is presumably referring to the PPC 464FP-HP90; the 476FP improves on the older design in several notable ways. According to IBM, the 476FP will be capable of clockspeeds "in excess of 1.6GHz", and draw just 1.6W when configured in that mode. IBM hasn't released the full details of the new core's architecture, but additional key features of the design include support for an L2 cache designed by LSI, (256K/512K/1MB), an AltiVec SIMD unit, and SMP (symmetric multi-processing) support. "We are pleased to announce this...

Hello everyone. We've just taken a look at a pair of energy efficient Athlon 64 X2 processors, more specifically the A64 X2 4600+ and the X2 3800+. These two processors have max TDPs of 65w and 35w, respectively, and as such they sip power and radiate much less heat than their "full-powered" counterparts. Here's a snip from the article... "Both AMD and Intel have made great technological strides when it comes to power consumption in their current CPU architectures. Both the Athlon 64 X2 and Core 2 Duo processor cores have elaborate clock gating schemes to allow their cores to ramp down during periods of inactivity or light...

We've been hard at work in the labs again here at HotHardware, putting AMD's latest installment of CPUs for the AM2 platform, through the wringer. This time the focus is on "Energy Efficient" processors, as AMD likes to call them. Here we have a look at the 65W EE Athlon 64 4600 running flat out at 100% CPU utilization and its 1.14 voltage settings by default. We've also gotten our hands on a 35 Watt efficient 3800+ dual core CPU as well. We'll have full details on the performance, heat, power and noise characteristics of these new chips, in the days ahead. Don't touch that dial!...

MSI's VT2D8X GeForce4 Ti4600 More Bandwidth, More Cooling, More Goodies! By - Jeff Bouton February 16, 2003 As we enter the latest phase in the nVidia vs. ATi battle, the focus again is on who's video card is going to be the all out fastest. It's natural that we get caught up in the hype of who has the faster card, but the bottom line is you only need the fastest card, if gaming is your life and you have some money to burn. What is unfortunate is that we tend to lose sight of the fact that both companies have existing products that are a better over all value. What were yesterday's top contenders, are today's mid-range to value cards that can offer performance on the cheap. ...

Abit's Siluro GeForce 4 Ti 4600 Does Abit's Overclocking Legacy Live On? By - Robert Maloney June 6, 2002 The GeForce 4 series by Nvidia is indisputably the most powerful line of video cards available on the market today. At the top of the line is the GeForce 4 Titanium 4600, but this comes with a hefty price tag. A number of companies, both well and lesser known, have jumped on the bandwagon to offer their own versions using this chipset. Aside from aesthetic differences, how can the customer decide which of these are worth his or her hard earned spending money? Right on the heels of reviewing Abit?s Siluro GeForce 4 Ti 4200, I got a chance to look at the flagship Abit Siluro GF4 Ti 4600...

The ASUS V8460 Ultra GeForce4 Ti4600 Power and ASUS Quality By -Chris Angelini May 10th, 2002 When you think of the movers and shakers in the motherboard industry, names like Abit, MSI, and ASUS immediately come to mind. Their solid products generally deliver the best stability and more often than not, performance above and beyond their competition. A reputation like that takes years to build and can be torn apart in a single product cycle. So you can be sure that when a big-name Taiwanese manufacturer releases hardware, it?s already been through the ringer on their end. Nowadays, the large manufacturers don?t seem to be content building motherboards alone. They?ve...

The eVGA e-GeForce4 Ti4600 Video Card with ACS2 A "GeForce" To Be Reckoned With By, Jeff Bouton May 7, 2002 eVGA.com is a relative newcomer to the video card market, starting their operations in 1999. Although they may not be a household name just yet, we have a feeling that things are about to change for this "new" company. Becoming a major player in a market that is fiercely competitive is no small task, however. Early on, eVGA realized that they had to offer the user a product line that would give them something the other manufacturers couldn't. For starters, the team at eVGA put together a patented install software package, dubbed ADM (Automated...

The Chaintech A-GT61 GeForce 4 Ti 4600 Flashy Packaging with Substance! By - Robert Maloney May 2, 2002 There is an old saying that goes something like, "bigger is better". This definitely seems to apply when talking about video cards. The GeForce 4 is the fourth generation in NVIDIA's GeForce line, and each new installment seems just that much bigger and better, than those that came before it. Today we are going to look at Chaintech's A-GT61. This is Chaintech's "Special Edition" model using GeForce 4 Titanium 4600 technology, currently the flagship of their line of video cards. We feel this card is a beauty to behold, with its dark PCB board and golden heatsinks...

The Leadtek Winfast A250 Ultra TD The GeForce4 Ti Card With A Massive Heat Sink By -Dave Altavilla March 26 2002 We've been working with Leadtek hardware, here at HotHardware, since our beginning way back in late 1998. At that point in time, Leadtek was known for designing and building top end graphics cards with various chipsets, including workstation "professional" level graphics. Since that time, Leadtek has diversified its portfolio of product, with TV Tuners, Motherboards, EIDE/SCSI Controllers and even video conferencing technologies folding into the mix. However, what has always been a focus for Leadtek is producing consumer level graphics cards based on the latest...

The Visiontek GeForce 4 Ti 4600 The NV25 hits retail shelves! By - Marco Chiappetta March 20, 2002 In February 2002, NVIDIA announced their latest flagship GPU, the GeForce 4 Ti 4600. This new GPU would not only raise the bar in terms of performance, but would also sport a slew of new features. NVIDIA revamped their Anti-Aliasing engine, and gave it a new name, "Accuview". They also incorporated the ability to power dual displays simultaneously. They called this new feature "nView". The Lightspeed Memory Architecture and nFiniteFX engine introduced with the GeForce 3, had also been reworked for increased efficiency and higher performance, courtesy...
