Ever wonder how people around the world access the internet? Sure, in most first-world countries, we have cheap and easy access to fast broadband, but there are still some countries that don’t have the luxury of using that 10Mbps connection. A new infographic showing how the world consumes the internet has arrived with some very interesting facts about how the human race connects with the internet.

With the annual Game Developer Conference taking place next month in San Francisco, the session catalogs for the conference are finally being published and it looks like we may be in for some interesting news on the API front. Word comes via the Tech Report and regular contributor SH SOTN that 3 different low level API sessions have popped up in the session catalog thus far. These sessions are covering both Direct3D and OpenGL, and feature the 4 major contributors for PC graphics APIs: Microsoft, AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel.

The session descriptions only offer a limited amount of information on their respective contents, so we don’t know whether anything here is a hard product announcement or whether it’s being presented for software research & development purposes, but at a minimum it would give us an idea into what both Microsoft and the OpenGL hardware members are looking into as far as API efficiency is concerned. The subject has become an item of significant interest over the past couple of years, first with AMD’s general clamoring for low level APIs, and more recently with the launch of their Mantle API. And with the console space now generally aligned with the PC space (x86 CPUs + D3D11 GPUs), now is apparently as good a time as any to put together a low level API that can reach into the PC space.

With GDC taking place next month we’ll know soon enough just what Microsoft and its hardware partners are planning. In the meantime let’s take a quick look at the 3 sessions.

DirectX: Evolving Microsoft's Graphics Platform

Presented by: Microsoft; Anuj Gosalia, Development Manager, Windows Graphics

For nearly 20 years, DirectX has been the platform used by game developers to create the fastest, most visually impressive games on the planet.

However, you asked us to do more. You asked us to bring you even closer to the metal and to do so on an unparalleled assortment of hardware. You also asked us for better tools so that you can squeeze every last drop of performance out of your PC, tablet, phone and console.

Come learn our plans to deliver.

Direct3D Futures

Presented by: Microsoft; Max McMullen, Development Lead, Windows Graphics

Come learn how future changes to Direct3D will enable next generation games to run faster than ever before!

In this session we will discuss future improvements in Direct3D that will allow developers an unprecedented level of hardware control and reduced CPU rendering overhead across a broad ecosystem of hardware.

If you use cutting-edge 3D graphics in your games, middleware, or engines and want to efficiently build rich and immersive visuals, you don't want to miss this talk.

Approaching Zero Driver Overhead in OpenGL

Presented By: NVIDIA; Cass Everitt, OpenGL Engineer, NVIDIA; Tim Foley, Advanced Rendering Technology Team Lead, Intel; John McDonald,  Senior Software Engineer, NVIDIA; Graham Sellers,  Senior Manager and Software Architect, AMD

Driver overhead has been a frustrating reality for game developers for the entire life of the PC game industry. On desktop systems, driver overhead can decrease frame rate, while on mobile devices driver overhead is more insidious--robbing both battery life and frame rate. In this unprecedented sponsored session, Graham Sellers (AMD), Tim Foley (Intel), Cass Everitt (NVIDIA) and John McDonald (NVIDIA) will present high-level concepts available in today's OpenGL implementations that radically reduce driver overhead--by up to 10x or more. The techniques presented will apply to all major vendors and are suitable for use across multiple platforms. Additionally, they will demonstrate practical demos of the techniques in action in an extensible, open source comparison framework.

Goophone is one Chinese smartphone maker that’s extremely well known for cloning devices from all the big manufacturers, and even some smaller ones. In some cases, it even churns out multiple clone variants for the same handset. Over the past couple of years, though, Goophone has been making a name for itself by how fast it manages to clone new stuff.

That said, this has to be some kind of a record. It took Goophone less than two days to clone the Samsung Galaxy S5. The Goophone S5 is already listed on the company’s website, and, as you’d expect… it features an uncanny resemblance to Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone. The Goophone S5 is not available to order just yet, but don’t be surprised if it will be out sooner than the Galaxy S5.

Thankfully, Goophone has at least outfitted the S5 clone with some pretty nice specs – at least as far as clones go, this is high-end. The Goophone S5 has a 5-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP front camera, a 2 GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, 3G, dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 2,800 mAh battery. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Fun fact: while in many respects the Goophone S5 pales in comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S5, its front-facing camera is actually higher-res than the original’s.

The Goophone S5 will be offered in black, white, gold, and blue – just like the Galaxy S5. The price is however set to be entirely different, as Goophone has chosen to ask for just $299.99 for its clone. This is for an unlocked unit, of course, and is sure to be much less than what you’ll have to pay for a Galaxy S5. Then again, we still wonder who actually buys such clones. Does anyone?

Ryan touched on this in his excellent deep dive on Imagination's PowerVR Series 6XT GPU architecture earlier today, but I wanted to specifically call out the new high-end from IMG that was announced back in January. Pictured above is a high-level block diagram of the new PowerVR GX6650, this is IMG's answer to NVIDIA's mobile Kepler/Tegra K1. 

Below I've included a modified version of Ryan's comparison table from his architecture piece:

GPU Specification Comparison
	NVIDIA K1	Imagination PowerVR GX6650	Imagination PowerVR G6430	Imagination PowerVR G6230
FP32 ALUs	192	192	128	64
FP32 FLOPs	384	384	256	128
Pixels/Clock (ROPs)	4	12	8	4
Texels/Clock	8	12	8	4
GFLOPS @ 300MHz	115.2 GFLOPS	115.2 GFLOPS	76.8 GFLOPS	38.4 GFLOPS
Architecture	Kepler	Rogue (Series 6XT)	Rogue (Series 6)	Rogue (Series 6)

I tossed in the Series 6 PowerVR G6430 as a comparison point. The G6430 is the GPU in the iPad Air/iPad mini with Retina Display/iPhone 5s. If Apple decides to go all out with a GPU upgrade on its next-generation iPad Air (A8/A8X silicon perhaps?), the GX6650 would likely be the IP to use.

Nvidia’s Tegra Note tablet slash platform is going to receive a hardware upgrade that will make it 4G LTE capable. New Tegra Note branded tablets with the added 4G support will become available from Nvidia’s partners in the second quarter of the year (so from April to June), and the pricing is going to be $299.

Nvidia isn’t selling tablets itself, but the Tegra Note is a turnkey solution of sorts – ready for partners to just add their own branding and handle the sales. We’ve seen a few Tegra Note branded tablets so far, but not from any major manufacturers. Nvidia however expects availability for its Tegra Notes to be expanded to Western Europe, Brazil, and Ukraine over the next few months.

EVGA will offer the Tegra Note in North America and Western Europe, Dixons in the UK, Gigabyte in Western Europe, Korea, and China, Gazer in Ukraine, Zotac in Japan and Korea, Xolo in India, Gradiente in Brazil, and Homecare in China too.

Aside from the added mobile data connectivity, specs for the new Tegra Note with 4G LTE seem to have remained the same. The tablet will come with a 7-inch 1,280×800 IPS touchscreen, a quad-core Tegra 4 processor, a 5 MP rear camera, a VGA front camera, 16 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, and Wi-Fi. The 4G LTE Tegra Note will launch running Android 4.4 KitKat.

And in a bit of good news for current Tegra Note owners, there’s a KitKat update headed your way too – regardless of your particular tablet’s manufacturer, since Nvidia is handling the updates itself. This will apparently continue to happen in the future, so perhaps this will end up to be one of the better supported tablets out there with regard to firmware updates.

A cseh gyártó legújabb stapatelefonja nem csak ütésállósággal, kellemes árral és extrém hosszú üzemidővel szolgál, hanem akár külső akkumulátorként is bevethető.

An overclocker from the Netherlands managed to overclock the popular Raspberry Pi ARM-based development board by over 100% to 1.5 GHz using EVGA's EPower board and a phase-change cooling solution.

Die neuen Maxwell-Grafikkarten auf Basis der GM107-GPU haben eine geringe Leistungsaufnahme. So liegt die TDP der GeForce GTX 750 Ti bei 60 Watt und die der GeForce GTX 750 bei 55 Watt. Dadurch haben es die Bordpartner bezüglich der Kühlerentwicklung relativ einfach.

Túl nagy hatalmat kapott a fedélzeti számítógép, a pilóta semmit sem tud tenni a hekkerek ellen.
