Zoner Panorama Maker 1.0

Ever seen a great mountain panorama that took your breath away and wish you could do yourself? You can -- easily -- with Zoner Panorama Maker. This wizard-based program is smart enough to usually find the correct joining points on its own! But when it doesn’t, that’s no problem either: you have tools to easily fix them.
Assemble Your Panoramas Automatically...
When we say automatic, we mean automatic. Correction for tilted source shots is automatic -- no need to worry just because you couldn’t use a tripod. Cropping is automatic, so you needn’t worry about it unless you want to. The whole process of assembling the panorama is generally little more than a few clicks.
http://www.ru.zoner.com/panorama-maker/download.htm
Even though the panorama making process is fully automated, if needed you can manually alter the joining of shots, their rotation against each other, and their cropping. You can also manually straighten them out when they end up tilted.
Think About Art, Not White Balance
The program contains an advanced algorithm for perfectly balancing exposure among the individual shots in a panorama. Thus you can even take the shots for your panorama using a camera that lacks exposure locking and manual white balance correction.

AMD Phenom II TWKR Black Edition Processor overclocking
........................................................................................
Posted by COMPUTER ROCKS at 10:21 AM 1 comments
AMD Phenom II TWKR Black Edition Processor

AMD recognized the blood, sweat, and tears that extreme overclockers put into their hobby by creating a very special, limited edition processor made specifically for them. The Phenom II X4 TWKR Black Edition processor is a hand picked CPU that performs above and beyond the normal parameters we're accustomed to seeing from the Phenom II line. Under the extremely low temps supplied by LN2 or LHe cooling, these chips are said to yield monster overclocks.
Unfortunately, were not able to get a hold of any liquid nitrogen or helium, so we benched with dry ice. But, as you can see in the screen shot above, we were able to maintain temps in the - 50' C to - 60' C range throughout testing.
In our review of the Phenom II X4 955 processor, we were able to reach 3.72GHz at 1.5V using the stock cooler. Additionally, we saw idle temps of 35'C and load temps around 70'C. This time around, we used dry ice to cool the TWKR chip way down and cranked up the voltages not only to the CPU, but other system components as well.
For the results you'll see below, we used an SB/HT Voltage of 1.3V, a CPU PLL Voltage of 2.5V, a NB Voltage of 1.2V, a CPU NB VID of +0.300 and a CPU Voltage of 1.55V
Then we installed the Koolance LN2 pot and after several overclocking sessions and about 20lbs of dry ice, settled in at a 4.73GHz overclock. At this speed, we were able to conduct several benchmarks in order to measure the performance gains created by such a large overclock. While the bandwidth numbers shown above are very good, we feel the 3DMark scores aren't anything to sneeze at either.
Under dry ice, the TWKR produced admirable results, but we weren't able to achieve the kind of overclocks these chips are known for. Even our watercooling overclock was surprisingly average. So what gives? The main culprit is cooling, according to AMD. For the TWKR to reach its fullest potential, liquid nitrogen or liquid helium must be used. Doing so would allow for a much higher overclock, "dropping (cooler base) temps from -70C to -188C makes a huge difference in terms of TWKR clockspeeds. You would likely get another GHz or more extra speed with LN2" we were told. The lesson here is to not skimp on the cooling when it comes to the TWKR. Once we get a hold of some liquid nitrogen or helium, we will post some more results and update this article. For now, here's a glimpse of what some others were able to achieve.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 Vital Signs & Overclocking

The Q8400 operates at 2.66GHz with a 333MHz front side bus speed. It is manufactured using Intel's 45nm process technology and has a 95W thermal design power (TDP). The CPU can operate using core ratios from 6 to 8 and has 4MB of L2 cache.
Intel's Q8400 fills the $180 price point in Intel's line up that competes directly with AMD's Phenom II X4 940 BE processor. But the Q8400 has a tough fight on its hands as the X4 940 BE runs at 3GHz and offers an unlocked multiplier.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 CPU

Intel and AMD have been going at one another for years. With AMD unable to compete well at the ultra high-end of the market, however, their focus shifted towards the mainstream market segments. As always, Intel responded and their most recent salvo comes in the form the affordable Core 2 Quad Q8400 processor. Since the Q9400, a 2.66GHz Yorkfield quad-core, was already on the market, why did Intel feel the need to release another, affordable quad-core model? One reason could be to increase yield and utilize dies that would otherwise be discarded. Another reason would be to position another product at the same price point as AMD's. Whatever the case may be, competition is always good for the consumer as it usually drives prices lower and provides more options to choose from. With that in mind, let's take a look at theIntel Core 2 Quad 8400 to see if it's worthy of consideration for your next build...
There isn't a shortage of options for those on the market for a 45nm Intel quad-core CPU. From the 3.2GHz Extreme Edition QX9770 to the 2.33GHz Q8200, Intel has the entire price spectrum covered. Those looking for a low power option can also choose from the S-series processors, which sport lower 65W TDPs. Where exactly does the Q8400 fit in to the mix?

Intel Expanding Core Branding, Killing Centrino



To complicate the simplification further, Intel's hanging onto Atom, Celeron and Pentium. Easier, huh? Whatever you say, Intel!

Intel Hopes To Enter Smartphone Chip Market

Intel already holds a strong position in the personal computer and server market. But, like other companies, Intel wants more. Moving forward, Intel’s executives believe there’s a good potential to increase Atom's traction in adjacent markets by targeting these low-cost, energy-efficient chips at various multifunctional consumer gadgets including smartphones and other portable devices that access the Internet. “Atom is Intel's growth engine,” said Intel spokesman Bill Calder.
Breaking into the smartphone market won’t be easy, however. The market is currently owned by companies such as Qualcomm, Texas Instruments , STMicroelectronics, MediaTek, and Infineon Technologies. All of these companies use a very successful chip design that is licensed from a small United Kingdom firm, ARM. ARM’s design has been popular because it uses little power which is crucial for battery life in mobile electronics.
Intel’s high-performance microprocessors typically consume too much power for mobile phones, which is part of the reason Intel created the Atom platform. As Intel’s smallest chip, Atom is relatively inexpensive. Atom is also designed to use little power. Atom has already found great success in the netbook market and has also been tapping into the Mobile Internet Device market. However, Atom has not yet entered the Internet-capable phone market.




Analysts are mixed as to whether this latest attempt from Intel will succeed or not. Some are concerned that Atom could cut into Intel’s sales of pricier microprocessors, hurting the company overall. Intel dismisses these concerns, saying Atom is opening new markets and hasn’t had a major affect on the sale of its other chips.
Regardless, Intel will enjoy a lower profit margin for the low-priced Atom than from other microprocessors. As a result, Intel will have to sell large quantities of Atom chips in order to make the product worthwhile.

Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition Processor

When you consider Intel's recent success at introducing new, cutting-edge processor architectures as of late, you can't help but appreciate the fact that the company is executing extremely well. The cold, hard fact of the matter is, even their last generation Core 2 architecture competes admirably with AMD's most recent update of the Phenom II, dollar for dollar and clock for clock. In fact, Intel's Core 2 architecture has done so well, that further roll-out of Intel's newer Core i7 line-up has been limited, no doubt in part because Intel doesn't absolutely need their fledgling new chip architecture to compete vigorously with their rival. There's no question, AMD's Phenom II is a solid alternative to the Core 2 but playing catch-up to Intel's legacy architecture is still not a very exciting position to be in, obviously.
Thus far there have been a mere three different models of Intel's new Core i7 processor that have been released to any channel, OEM or retail - the Core i7-920, Core i7-940 and the flagship Core i7-965 Extreme Edition. With clock speeds starting at 2.66GHz and scaling to 3.2GHz, Intel's new Core i7 proverbially lights up , anything from AMD's high end line-up right now, even comparing the chip's slowest speed bin, never mind at like clock speeds. That said, the semiconductor business is pretty much a ruthless and relentless game of one-upsmanship; or in Intel's case currently, perhaps its two or three-up. As such, you can be sure Intel is looking for another kill shot, whenever they can.
Today Intel is finally releasing new Core i7 models and speed bins to the market, as well as announcing a new flagship chip, the Core i7-975 Extreme Edition. Though it will definitely command a hefty price tag, at a stock clock speed of 3.33GHz and Intel Turbo Boost speeds at 3.45GHz (all cores) and 3.6GHz (single core), you can bet this new Core i7 is one hot-rod of a quad-core CPU. In the pages ahead, we'll wind it out around the test track and show you what the fastest desktop processor on the planet can do when it's tuned up for a touch more horsepower at the factory and made ready for production.
The new Core i7 chips being announced today are Intel's new top-dog, the Core i7-975 Extreme Edition, as well as the new upper mid-range Core i7-950, which in fact will supplant the Core i7-940. These new chips share identical Intel Nehalem-based microarchitectures, with the Core i7-975 offering a faster 6.4GT/sec QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) serial link to Intel's X58 Express Northbridge chipset, as well as a faster 3.33GHz core clock speed with a stock 25X multiplier and a 133MHz reference clock. The Core i7 950 has a 23X stock multiplier that is locked for higher multiples but can be dialed down, while the Core i7-975 is unlocked for higher multiples as well, since it is an "Extreme Edition" product.
