The next version of the Sandy bridge platform is called the IVY Bridge, and apart from being faster and smaller the chipset will also bring a refreshed change to the number of pixels on ones display.
This platform will support resolutions in excess of 4000 px (maximum of 4,096 x 4,096) a big up from WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) limitation of its Sandy Bridge. This will open up doors to high level video editing and detailed graphical elements.

With the earliest models debuted last fall, Gigabyte has just officially announced at Computex 2011 the Booktop T1125P 3-in-1 computer: a laptop whose rotating screen can convert the machine into a tablet-like device, and which when docked into a special station can be used in a desktop configuration.
On the T1125P, is a 11.6-inch capacitive multi-touch display that is fixed to a 180-degree hinge, which lets the laptop be closed with the screen facing outward for use as a tablet. The device itself contains a USB 3.0 and HDMI ports, as well as two dual-channel stereo speakers and two woofers. an ultra low voltage intel core i5/i3 processor plus Nvidia GPU with 1GB dedicated visual RAM translates to a responsive, high-quality multimedia experience. a built/in 3.5G modem facilitates mobile internet connectivity, while the docking station features a DVD drive. when docked (which is necessarily in the vertical position), the device in addition to charging can be used for processing power and as a second screen to an external monitor.
Gigabyte also announced the Booktop M2432 which features a 14 inch backlit LCD and has a Core i3/i5 sandy-bridge processor. This allows the device to function as a laptop or a desktop when docked, but not as a tablet. The dock contains an in-built Nvidia GPU.

Those who are technically challenged when it comes to overclocking, but still want to enjoy extra power can use MSI’s OC Genie II technology. It allows single click overclocking without need of any technical knowledge. OC Genie II is available on all MSI A75-Series mainboards. MSI claims that the mainboard has broken records on 3D Mark 06 which has been made possible only by versatile Click BIOS UEFI interface and improvements in mainboard design.
Certified Military Class
MSI’s Military Class II components have been certified by the United States Department of Defense 810G Standard. Only Military Class II components have the lifetime and stability required by today’s most demanding situations of extreme overclocking but at the same time provide great levels of power saving. The MSI A75MA-G55 has proven to be stable under the highest workloads and stress conceivable, overclocking, clearly displaying the top quality and stability demanded by professional overclockers.
OC Genie II – Easy one click overclocking
MSI’s OC Genie II technology allows everyone to enjoy the benefits of extra performance without having any technical knowledge.
Applauded by media worldwide for its simple operation and great benefits, OC Genie II set the new standard for mainboard performance and that technology powers todays 3DMark 11 and 3DMark 06 world records. OC Genie II is available on all MSI A75-Series mainboards.

AMD has launched its A-Series Chips. These Chips have a combination CPU + GPU chips in a single package that the company is dubbing APUs or Accelerated Processing Unit. The A-series was formerly known under the code name Llano. The company describes the new chips as follows:
[quote]AMD A-Series APUs combine up to four x86 CPU cores with powerful DirectX 11-capable discrete-level graphics and up to 400 Radeon cores along with dedicated HD video processing on a single chip. [/quote]
The processors will be available as the A4, A6, and A8 and are meant for mid to high-level laptops. The high-end quad-core A8 is targeted for “enthusiast HD and 3D entertainment,” with the quad-core A6 for “HD creation and Blu-ray entertainment,” and the lower-end dual-core A4 (comparable to Intel’s Core i3) for “Photo editing and HD movie playback.” Higher-end Laptops will also offer a separate discrete graphics card on top of the bundled GPU, in a setup called AMD Dual Graphics. The physically discrete GPU can be set to turn off while the system is not plugged into an outlet, in order to extend battery life.
The first company to announce a line of A-Series Laptops is HP. It is not creating new models for these chips but is instead, adapting its existing models for these APUs. These processors should provide Intel’s second generation Sandy Bridge CPUs a run for their money.
ASUS has just announced the new Matrix GTX 580 and MARS II Graphics cards. The Matrix GTX 580 will come in two options — standard and Platinum — both with 1.5GB of RAM and dual-fan cooling solution requires three PCI slots.
MARS II, the 3GB, dual-GPU has an even bigger cooling rig attachment, which will be detailed in the near future. The Mars 2 (II) also comes with 19-phase power and Super Alloy components.
