With a big enough heatsink, can a high-end graphics card be passively cooled? No fan? No noise? China-based manufacturer Colorful showed off its answer, introduced at Computex earlier this month. Colorful has what it says is the world's first passive-cooled GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, the iGame GTX 680 “passive.” Instead of a cooling fan, two very large aluminum heatsinks carry the task of drawing heat away from the core. Colorful set out to eliminate noise completely by a passively cooled graphics card in its iGAME range that uses Nvidia‘s GeForce GTX 680 chipset. http://phys.org/news260165250.html Electronics Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:08:14 EST news260165250 (Phys.org) -- Intel sees a future where you simply, wirelessly, use your laptop to charge your phone. To prove its point, Intel pulled off a proof-of-concept charging feat this week at Computex where a laptop wirelessly powered a smartphone positioned alongside the computer. To demonstrate its action, Intel used an Acer Aspire laptop with a Samsung smartphone. The computer was shown as having a plug-in transmitter module on its right side, for the charging. The compatible phone, with its receiver placed alongside the laptop transmitter, started charging. A ping sound and notification confirm the connection has been made and the process is in effect. http://phys.org/news258349801.html Technology Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:20:03 EST news258349801 South Korea's Samsung Electronics unveiled notebook and tablet computers running on Windows 8 Tuesday, the latest firm to showcase products that use Microsoft's eagerly-awaited new operating system. http://phys.org/news258100317.html Electronics Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:32:22 EST news258100317 Taiwan PC makers Acer and Asus on Monday took another shot at gaining a foothold in the tablet market, unveiling several new products running on Microsoft's much-anticipated Windows 8 operating system. http://phys.org/news258003136.html Electronics Mon, 04 Jun 2012 04:32:34 EST news258003136 (AP) — Taiwan's struggling computer makers will use next week's Computex show to promote a new generation of ultra-thin laptops that might be their last hope of turning back the seemingly unstoppable momentum of Apple's iPad and other hot-selling tablets. http://phys.org/news257744103.html Electronics Fri, 01 Jun 2012 04:40:02 EST news257744103 Two electronic firms unveiled new tablet computers in Taipei Monday, on the eve of Asia's biggest IT trade fair, as they try to get a slice of a lucrative market dominated by Apple's iPad. http://phys.org/news225969804.html Electronics Mon, 30 May 2011 11:30:01 EST news225969804 The question of how to get 3D technology into every living room and a tablet computer into every hand is set to dominate Asia's largest IT fair which opens in Taiwan next week. http://phys.org/news225868771.html Electronics Sun, 29 May 2011 06:40:01 EST news225868771 If Asia's largest IT fair, the just-concluded Computex, is anything to go by, the high-tech industry is emerging rapidly from the global crisis: business was brisk during the five-day event in Taipei. http://phys.org/news195047242.html Technology Sun, 06 Jun 2010 13:20:01 EST news195047242 A new gadget that helps computer users check their stress and mood levels was unveiled Thursday at Asia's biggest IT trade fair. http://phys.org/news194763835.html Technology Thu, 03 Jun 2010 06:40:01 EST news194763835 (AP) -- Small new "netbook" computers from Acer Inc. will come with Google Inc.'s Android operating system if buyers desire, instead of Windows from Microsoft Corp. http://phys.org/news163163962.html Electronics Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:20:14 EST news163163962 Asia's biggest information technology trade show opened in Taiwan Tuesday, with the spotlight on low-priced notebook computers and advanced broadband Internet mobile technology. http://phys.org/news163143251.html Technology Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:34:45 EST news163143251
