Mountain View (CA) - The Cherrypal computer isnā€™t especially stylish, functional or cheap. But it may be the greenest PC you can buy today and it may be the very first cloud computer that should be taken seriously.
It is easy to perceive the Cherrypal as a toy (some may even consider it the Internet device Leap Frog should have come up with), but we have no doubt that despite its very limited horsepower, this computer could lead how average computing will look a few years down the road. Why? Read on to find out. Read the rest of this entry »
Cedar Rapids (IA) - Boutique PC builder Biohazard has added a new flagship system to its portfolio: The Rapture machine comes with phase-change cooling, which promises sub-zero operating temperatures for the CPU and GPU.
There is really no alternative to phase change cooling, if you are looking into extreme overclocking. And if you donā€™t want to build such a system yourself, you can now opt to purchase Biohazardā€™s Rapture model that comes with phase-change cooling by default. According to the company, sub-zero operating temperatures enable higher clock speeds for the integrated CPUs right out of the gate, but did not say which clock speeds it can actually achieve.
Not surprisingly, even the base Rapture PC isnā€™t cheap - plan on spending at least about $6500 for an AMD system and at least $7300 for an Intel model. Your budget pretty much determines how expensive the PC will be in the end. A fully configured Skulltrail system and cost about $27,000, including $10,000 worth of enterprise solid state disk drives alone. This price does not include a monitor or custom paint.

The difficulty the company is facing is one of competing with a vastly larger and better funded competitor in a market largely defined by standards that its rival sets. In short, it has always been Intelā€™s game, its home field. And even in the beginning, AMD only got what Intel gave them. Read the rest of this entry »
