Nvidia Geforce GTX 670

The most awaited sibling of the 680 is finally here. Yes, Nvidia has finally unveiled the successor to the 570. The newest member of the Kepler family has one less SMX unit than its elder brother .So there are 7 SMX units,1344 CUDA cores and 112 texture units. Everything else is left intact including the 256 bit memory interface and 2GB GDDR5 memory. They have even left the memory clock at 680's 1502Mhz. However they clocked the base clock at 915MHz and the boost clock at 980Mhz. The reference card is only 9.5" long but the actual PCB is even smaller at 6.75". Its ridiculously small as you can see in the picture below

Display outputs are also the same as that of the 680 with two dual link DVIs a Display port and an HDMI port and yes it supports Nvidia surround also. The card has a maximum power draw of 170W from a pair of six pin connectors , which is pretty good for a high end card. You can see that Nvidia has not cut down the card from the 680 much like the 570.

So is this card any good ? How does it compare to its predecessor the 570 ? How does it match upto the 680 ?  I know all these questions are loitering around in your mind right now. And the biggest question of all, how much does it cost? OK for all these to be answered I need to actually review the card, and obviously i cant do that right now. But keep supporting the blog and maybe one day I will be able to do that too for you guys. Anyways from all the reviews that I've read , I can tell you that the GTX 670 is not that far behind the 680 in terms of performance. Infact its a little too close.Its A whole lot faster than the card its replacing, the 570 and even the 580 for that matter. It kicks the 7950,its main competition out of the water and even challenges the 7970(Beats it in some games). Its only almost 5-10 fps slower than the 680 in most games and in some games its as fast as the 680. OK, now for the price. The card costs roughly 399$ at launch. What this means is that you get 95% of the performance of the fastest card in the world for 100$ less. Now isn't that sweet? 

Samsung Galaxy S3

The Current Leaders in the mobile Industry unveiled their newest and most anticipated addition to the galaxy series phones, the galaxy s3 . The Phone is the successor to the samsung galaxy s2 which was considered to be the best android smartphone ever. OK. lets go to the specs of the phone. The Phone sports a 4.8 inch 720*1280 pixels super Amoled display which equates to a pixel density of 306ppi . It has an Exynos quad core processor clocked at 1.4Ghz with a Mali400 Gpu. The phone is fairly light at only 130 grams its also fairly thin at 8.6mm . Now samsung has stated that the design is inspired by nature and i think it more or less resembles a pebble, a really flat one of-course. The phone is available in two colors namely Pebble blue and Marble white (No black ?) . The phone also packs in an 8MP shooter with backside illumination and features zero shutter lag just like the one on the HTC one x .There is also one 1.9mp front facing camera .The phone undoubtedly runs on android 4.0 ics and gives you ample ram to play with at 1GB. It also has the common connectivity features like WiFi, 3g, 4g(in selected countries) etc. It even comes with a feature known as "S Beam". Its like NFC but only slower. Samsung also has voice recognition built-in called "S Voice" . OK, now all that looks impressive and i think it has the potential to be the true successor of the iconic galaxy s2 . Lets wait and find out.
