A few days ago, AMD made their server roadmap public which detailed their upcoming Opteron enterprise solutions for 2013-2014. The server roadmap consists of the high-end Warsaw CPU for 2P and 4P server configurations, HSA and x86 enabled Berlin APU and the first ARM based SOC solution for 1P enterprise configurations codenamed “Seattle”.

AMD Berlin APU Details Provide Glimpse at NextGen Kaveri APU

We will detail Warsaw and Seattle in this post but first we want to talk about the Berlin APU. The Berlin APU for server and enterprise space is the same thing as the Kaveri APU for client market. The Berlin and Kaveri APUs both feature an industry’s first HSA enabled architecture which allows cross sharing of memory along the CPU / GPU for efficient work environment. Both APUs come with the latest 28nm Steamroller architecture that brings greater IPC improvement over Bulldozer and Piledriver architecture. They would also feature the latest next generation Radeon cores (GCN) which have already been featured on AMD’s discrete HD 7000 series lineup.

The only known difference at the moment between the two platforms is that Berlin would support ECC memory while Kaveri APUs won’t. 

4Gamer has some intresting information regarding the new Berlin APU which provides a glimpse at the Kaveri APU. The site reports that AMD will not only use upto four x86 steamroller cores in the next generation Berlin APU but also feature 512 Next generation Radeon cores in the Berlin APU. You may remember when i talked about Kaveri APUs featuring upto 6-12 compute units for the integrated graphics which would put the performance equivalent to a Radeon HD 7750/7770 but clock speeds would be marginally lower. AMD mentioned that the Berlin APU with a 35W TDP and 512 SPs would deliver 700 GFLOPS of compute performance, a Radeon HD 7750 with 512 stream processors has 819 GFlops of compute performance but faster clock speeds than the Berlin APU.

If AMD does put a similar chip inside the Kaveri APU with 512-768 SPs, then this could mean that the next generation APUs would deliver about the same performance as an entry level discrete GPU while the CPU side would remain strong and improved thanks to the Steamroller core architecture. AMD would launch their Kaveri APUs in both 65W and 100W variants for FM2+ desktop platform in Q4 2013 while 35/25/17W mobile variants would be made available later on. The Berlin APUs would launch later in 1H of 2014 followed by Warsaw in Q2 2014.

The final specifications for NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce GTX 760 graphics card have been confirmed by Videocardz. The GeForce GTX 760 would be NVIDIA’s next in line of GeForce 700 series offering an upgrade pah to users with older generation graphic cards at an affordable price range.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Official Specifications Confirmed

The GeForce GTX 760 graphics card would feature a GK104-225-A2 Kepler core architecture that would boast 1152 cores, 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs along with a 2 GB GDDR5 memory interface running along a 256-bit wide memory interface. Manufacturer’s are free to release 4 GB models as they wish at an extra price. The GPU runs at a base clock of 980 MHz while boosts upto 1033 MHz which are faster speeds than as seen on the GeForce GTX 670. The memory on some of the overclocked variants is clocked at 7 GHz while reference still operate at the reference 6 GHz effective clock speeds, the GPU pumps out a bandwidth of 192 GB/s at 6 GHz and overclocked models at 224.4 GB/s at 7 GHz effective clock speeds.

The stock cooling solution used on the card is of the same iteration that is seen on GeForce GTX 670/660 Ti/ 660 reference models. It makes use of a large aluminum fin heatsink array sitting on top the GPU block that is cooled off by a blower type fan. Display outputs include Dual-DVI, HDMI and a display port.The card is expected to hit retail in about a week or so for a price range of $249-$299 although the official MSRP remains unconfirmed.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Specs:

Performance wise, the card would be faster than the reference Radeon HD 7950 at a similar cost range but the real challenge would between overclocked models since they are priced along a similar path as the overclocked Radeon graphic cards. Also to note is that this would be the last GeForce 700 series card we would see in some time since the low end GTX 750 Ti/ GTX 750 etc would launch much later around the end of Q3 2013 or Q4 2013.

Yesterday, the first codenames for AMD Volcanic Islands series of Radeon graphic cards appeared inside a leaked catalyst driver. Semiaccurate has done a detailed analysis regarding the leaked codenames and has come up with some really interesting details.

The codenames that leaked yesterday are provided below:

AMD Volcanic Islands “Hawaii” FirePro:

• AMD67A2.1 = “HAWAII GL Gemini (67A2)”
• AMD67A1.1 = “HAWAII GL40 (67A1)”
• AMD67A0.1 = “HAWAII XTGL (67A0)”

AMD Volcanic Islands “Hawaii” Radeon:

• AMD67BE.1 = “HAWAII LE (67BE)”
• AMD67B1.1 = “HAWAII PRO (67B1)”
• AMD67B0.1 = “HAWAII XT (67B0)”

AMD Volcanic Islands Radeon GPU Codenames Detailed

Now according to Semiaccurate, the Hawaii GPU would consist of three variants under the Radeon “Discrete desktop” brand and three variants under the FirePro “Workstation” brand. It is detailed that the Gemini name is used internally by AMD for dual-chip graphic cards so its possible that the Hawaii GL Gemini is a dual-chip server card like the current FirePro S10000 but its not based on the Hawaii XTGL variant but rather the cut down GL40 variant which would have some compute units disable, it is mentioned that the “40″ number in the codename could represent 40 CUs which means 2560 cores in the Hawaii GL40 GPU. Could this mean that the full variant of the Hawaii core would have even more CUs on the XTGL GPU?

Coming to the Radeon lineup which consists of three parts, the flagship Hawaii XT followed by the Hawaii Pro model and Hawaii LE. The driver has also listed some never been heard of codenames which include Vesuvius, a Volcanic Island and a Sea Islands called Tonga located just past New Zealand. The New Zealand codename has also appeared in the driver which might seem confusing since AMD renamed their New Zealand reference HD 7990 card to “Malta” so it could be possible that New Zealand may eventually become a Dual chip card within the AMD Volcanic Island series.

AMD should launch or atleast clarify these reports regarding their upcoming generation of Radeon cards since alot of people want to update from their HD 7000 series cards that released more than a year ago. For now, we can just hope that AMD launched the new card around the same time as Kaveri APU for desktop.

A purported iOS 7 beta 1 for iPad video demo has been posted online. Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 7 after it unveiled the update at WWDC 2013. The company has initially seeded firmware for supported iPhone and iPod touch devices, adding that the iPad versions will be available to developers in the coming weeks. A Russian has posted this iOS 7 beta 1 for iPad “exclusive” video demo on YouTube, making us question where did he get his hands on this firmware. That’s beside the point though, what matters is that we presumably get an early look in to what iOS 7 might look like on the iPad.

There are no major differences in iOS 7 beta 1 for iPad when compared to the beta version for other supported devices, obviously no major changes can be expected any way. It is interesting to see though how Apple’s latest and greatest iOS 7 update looks on the big display of the iPad. Everything that’s new on the other variants, like Control Center, new icons, gestures etc are all available on the iPad. Since we don’t know if this build is official, there exists a possibility that some of the gestures might not be supported by iOS 7 beta 1 for iPad, when it is officially seeded to developers over the next few weeks.

A debate has been going on recently, there’s one side that believes Apple should have stuck to its guns and shouldn’t have opted for a flat UI that defines iOS 7. The other group believes that Apple was right to ditch the skeuomorphic elements in its design, and it was right to embrace the much more clean and simplified look for the flat user interface. Regardless of whatever side you’re on, being able to see iOS 7 beta 1 for iPad on video will really change some people’s mind. The new firmware looks good on the tablet, at least much more so than it does on iPod touch and iPhone. What do you think?

The post iOS 7 Beta 1 For iPad Video Demo Posted Online by Adnan appeared first on WCCFtech.com.

Did you know that it is possible for you to test iOS 7 beta 1 for iPhone 5 straight in your web browser? Yes sir, it is indeed. Apple unveiled iOS 7 a week back at WWDC 2013. Calling it the greatest iOS update ever, Apple detailed quite a few features for us at the conference. The spotlight was definitely on its all new flat user interface, which is a big jump for Apple, considering that it was always opted for skeuomorphic elements in its UI design. There have been many debates over the old design vs the new design, if you’re embroiled in one such debate and want to settle it for good, mind I recommend giving iOS 7 beta 1 for iPhone 5 a test drive in your web browser?

This interactive iOS 7 beta for iPhone 5 demo has been created by Recombu. It will offer you an insight in to how iOS 7 works, this means that you wouldn’t have to go through the process of installing the beta firmware on your own device. Though if that is something that you might be interested in, we’ve already done a detailed tutorial on how to install iOS 7 beta 1 on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Those who will access this iOS 7 beta 1 for iPhone 5 demo through Firefox or Chrome browser will also be able to take pictures through their webcams, via the Camera app. The interactive demo is really the next best thing as opposed to installing the beta firmware. You can test drive it for all you want, and form a notion about Apple’s latest iOS platform update. New additions such as Control Center have also been replicated in this demo, which is based on iOS 7 beta 1, considering that its the only developer version that Apple has seeded up till now.

If you’re indeed willing to try out this iOS 7 beta 1 for iPhone 5 demo, simply enter the following URL: recombu.com/mobile/interactive/ios7-demo/ in your browser. That’s all you need to do.
