The Chinese company Zotac, which is headquartered in Hong Kong, is well known in our latitudes, and may not be missing at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. We looked around on the ground and among others the Mini PC Zotac Zbox caught us PI221.

Passive cooling

The Zbox PI221 differs from the model with the number PI220 actually only by the passive cooling, the aluminum body comes here without the mini-fan. At Computex 2016, the device has been shown and also convinced the professional audience, since one has been awarded the “Design and Innovation Award in Computers and Systems”.

 

Of course, the absence of the fan has a noise reduction result, because although only put small fan in mini PCs, can make the already duly noise when the system has to be cooled. When Zotac Zbox PI221, which can be described as classic HDMI PC stick, attempts are made ​​to regulate the cooling via the housing, if it works sustainably, the device needs but only in practice prove. The processing in any case is more than just neat, the aforementioned design prize goes no doubt why perfectly fine. Under the hood send an Intel Atom x5 plugged-Z8300, this has a base clock of 1.44 GHz, if necessary, it goes up to up to 1.84 GHz.

4 gigabyte limit

As memory only two gigabytes installed, but has economic reasons and not technical. Because Microsoft provides a lower-cost Windows 10 license only for devices with four gigabytes available. And in this comparatively new PC-class, the price war is out pretty hard.However, we were able to eat out in experience, that there are certainly considerations when Zotac to offer a 4 GB version, even if this would be between 25 and 50 Dollar more expensive.

New Extraterrestrial business idea: A US-based company wants to lure customers by offering to deliver small packages to the moon. The end of 2017 to the first delivery of private programs held for the Earth’s satellite and make the remembrance contained thus “immortal”.

Currently experiencing the private space in the US a real wedding. Besides the well known industry representatives SpaceX, which it has been possible to land a rocket on land and on a drone ship in the ocean, but still want to earn other companies in this boom. US start-up Astrobotic hopes to cash with the idea of moon post, in order to finance the actual mission.

The bigger the package the higher the price

Under the heading Moon mail and with the motto “do your souvenir on the moon immortal “the company advertises currently on its homepage to private customers who are interested in a package delivery to the lunar surface. As usual with the space, the potential size of the Moon delivery, however, remains relatively limited. “Astrobotic now accepts small souvenirs, which are received at our first mission to the moon,” the company said. “This memory will be stored for centuries there.”

In the first step, interested customers have to choose one of three basic capsules, so to speak, serve as packet size for souvenirs. The service fee for the smallest container with dimensions of 1.3 cm to 0.3 cm is 460 dollars. Those who book the widest possible moon package with dimensions of 2.5 cm to 5 cm, have to pay $ 25,800. After the capsule was then sent to Astrobotic, this promise in the next step with a “high-resolution photo” to document exactly when in the is used according to lunar vehicle, with the total private space programs are to be placed on the lunar surface.

Astrobotic wants the Moon mail finance part of its actual main mission, which is the first private company to carry out a commercial moon landing. So he can do the moon for “scientists, researchers and other pioneers” accessible again.

Nox has launched the new Nox Hummer H-312 which is a heat sink for universal processors that are incorporated into the family Hummer cooling in the series. The H-312 is the latest model of 12cm range of dissipating the Hummer series processor, a complete high quality solution that combines outstanding performance, quiet operation and excellent compatibility.

This is a heatsink that comes equipped with 4 copper heatpipes 6mm diameter and a large aluminum radiator combined for efficient heat dissipation processor, be it brand name it. Incorporates a fan H-FAN incorporating rpm control using PWM for convenient automatic speed control via the motherboard. With a slim profile and built at an angle, the H-312 ensures maximum compatibility with RAM modules. Its assembly system is simple and secure and ensures perfect contact pressure and maximum comfort in all current sockets.

The central column of M-312 is made of aluminum and provides support and firmness to sink and radiator also gets ensure continuous and perfect contact with the heat sink base surface processor integrated heat sink. The H-312 heatpipes are made last CNC technology to achieve a flat surface on the base and provide direct contact with the surface processor.

H-FAN PWM H-312 provides a superb very quiet static pressure, excellent performance on heatsinks and operation. The H-FAN PWM has the bearing system Hydraulic Bearing, corners stickers anti vibration and a new blade design optimized for optimal static pressure and increased performance in terms of airflow. In addition, the H-312 incorporates mounting hooks for the installation of a second fan if users want to maximize the cooling capacity of the Hummer H312.

As for the installation of the new Hummer H-312 it is quite simple, since it is possible to install it in a few steps swiftly. you only need to choose the socket depending on the system, secure it to the plate and place the sink with metal anchors.

The new H-312 will be available in Spain in mid-May with a recommended 34,90 € PVP.

According to TechPowerUp, industry sources have informed some interesting specifications of the next two GPUs that AMD will launch the market, graphic Polaris 10 Polaris 11 , both based on the fourth generation of graphics architecture Graphics Core Next.

Although this leak comes first hand from one of the most important sites worldwide hardware must catch it with tweezers, as always, for there is nothing confirmed by the manufacturer. According to report, and we already knew, AMD is preparing two GPUs, one for midrange and one for the so-called industry performance (not high-end, eye).

Ellesmere GPU performance will be the sector and will according to the source with 32 CUs (Compute Units) and not 40 as previously thought. Assuming that each CU has 64 Stream Processors, this gives us that AMD graphics Polaris “Ellesmere” will have 2048 Stream Processors, yet these graphs have a power of 5.5 TFlop / s according to AMD.

While Hawaii AMD graphics have a TDP of no less than 250 watts, the new chips will have as much a TDP of 150 watts, which would allow AMD to put a single power connector 8-pin, as it has done NVIDIA its new generation, and as it did already in the R9 Nano AMD. According to the source, these graphic Polaris will have 8GB of GDDR5 / GDDR5X memory with a 256-bit bus, something we already knew well.

The “small” Polaris chip as techpowerup says, the midrange is called Baffin (as I have explained above). In this case count, according to the source, with only 14 CUs, ie, 896 Stream Processors nothing else. It would be the successor chip Tobago (Radeon R7 360) and a similar performance to R9 380 is expected, more or less. The good part of these graphs is that in theory will have a TDP of only 50 watts and will not need additional power connector.
