Shogun Bros. Ballista MK-1 Gaming Mouse: Adjust DPI As Abacus

Posted on January 14, 2012 09:55 AM

Last year, Shogun Bros. introduces a unique mouse with a gamepad at the bottom of the mouse. Mouse was named Chameleon X-1. More crazy again, Shongun Bros. established a partnership with Ubisoft to bring up the Chameleon X-1 version of Assassin's Creed with leather-covered buttons. However, at CES 2012 this time, instead of the "chameleon" was the center of attention at Shogun Bros. booth. Which became the center of conversation here is the Ballista MK-1, a laser wired mouse with 5700 dpi sensitivity achieved, which can independently adjust the sensitivity on the X axis and Y-its,
and power saving

We need to press the configuration button for five seconds to make the adjustment, then rotate the mouse scroll to adjust the sensitivity gradually per-100dpi. While the "abacus" little red and green track the resolution we choose. We can store four different sensitivity modes (five different profiles and a total of 20 presets). You also can quickly swap them to each other with up-down rocker on the bottom of your thumb, while a blue LED indicates which mode is being diaktfikan. There are 6 buttons in this mouse as a whole, including the tilt button scroll wheel and 2 buttons macros.

Although it is priced cheaper than any other gaming mouse such as Razer and Logitech have similar features, quality Ballista MK-1 is not inferior to any other mouse. With $ 60, you can have a mouse that has a sensor and a good sensitivity, and accuracy is pretty sharp.

EA Prepare Need For Speed ​​13?

Posted on January 14, 2012 09:53 AM

What is done by a developer and publisher who engaged in the gaming industry? Of course they will consistently produce a new gaming products to the market. Gave birth to the latest series of a franchise giant is certainly a strategy that most "short" to ensure success and gain profits. This is apparently trying to be done by one of the world's largest game publishers - Electronic Arts. They apparently have not given up to "squeeze the maximum" potential class of Need For Speed ​​franchise. For the umpteenth time, a new series is being prepared.

This information is captured after one of the UK's largest game retailer, GAME, participated in a closed presentation made ​​by EA. Through microblog sites - Twitter, GAME was excessive and sharing of confidential information to all gamers around the world. GAME write status stating that the EA showed two new games to them: Medal of Honor 2 and Need for Speed ​​13! Unfortunately, once they are aware of the mistakes they do, that status immediately removed. Is this some kind of indirect confirmation for two EA's ambitious new project? EA itself has not released any official information about this rumor.

AMD FX-4100 vs Intel Core i3 2100

Posted on January 14, 2012 09:50 AM

AMD has launched a new processor for AM3 socket. For the mainstream classroom, AMD FX-4100 provides. With 4 cores and the speed of 3.6 GHz frequency, whether newcomers can compete with the Intel Core i3 2100 which is long enough to master this class?

From the specification, it appears that the AMD FX-4100 offers a better potential. Larger cache memory, higher speed and more cores makes the FX-4100 perform better. At least on paper. Meanwhile, Intel Core i3 2100 comes with a lower rate (even without the turbo) and fewer number of cores. However, hyperthread Intel (which makes it capable of running 4 threads) generally can not compete with the real core. In addition, the efficiency of Sandy Bridge architecture should also be taken into account.

The second price is relatively the same processor. Both are in Kisara 1 million dollars. If we look from the side of the platform support, both already have a fairly cheap motherboard support. At a later date, choose the AMD processor can lead to more investment lightly. As usual, board manufacturers will provide AMD solutions at prices cheaper than the Intel solution. Unfortunately, to date it has not happened.

AMD FX series Will Reborn

Still remember with AMD FX series? Several years ago, never has processor AMD FX series which is the highest caste of AMD processors in circulation at that time. The price offered for the FX series processors in the range of U.S. $ 1000, a fantastic price for a processor. FX series last found on AMD Athlon 64 processors. After missing for several years, it seems AMD will revive the FX series processors in the year 2011. The strongest candidates will be the motor FX series AMD processors this is apparently the latest AMD processors with architecture "Bulldozer". AMD processor-Bulldozer "Zambezi" is rumored to be available in two variants: the eight-core variants that shelter under the label "Black Vision FX" and variants of four to six cores that shelter under the label "Vision Ultimate FX". AMD Bulldozer processors will likely be released in April and will use 32 nm fabrication process. Seeing this, the highest possible variants Bulldozer FX series will be dealing directly with Intel's most expensive desktop processor today, the Core i7 980X? Yes, it is this which makes us curious about the performance of AMD processors with Bulldozer architecture.
