"Intel is at it again. After the recent launch of its first 45nm and so far most extreme CPU, the QX9650, it's now time for the QX9770. The logic behind the model numbering is questionable, but what's new with this model is 400MHz FSB, which thanks to Intel's quadruple bus give us an effective transfer rate corresponding to 1600MHz. This is denoted by the 9770. The frequency has also increased to 3.2GHz (8x400), which is denoted by the second figure 9770.
Regarding the architecture, it's still the same core as the QX9650, both are code-named Yorkfield. For more detailed information of the new architecture, we recommend our previous article which you can find via the link below.
We've also looked at what differences in performance one can expect from quad-core CPUs with a higher FSB, which is one of the differences of the QX9770 compared to earlier models. We will focus on comparing the QX9770 with the QX9650, running at their stock speeds, so for a more thorough analysis of the system bus we refer to this previous article."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Amd Anthlon is soo much better!
I'm not quite sure why this is great news. The QX9770 was launched for press in November, and appriopriate reviews are all over the internet since then. And the "official" launch was two weeks ago at Cebit.
