1 TB platter from Seagate   Posted on 03/05/2011 at 18:17 by Guillaume

	Following the Samsung prototype at the latest CeBIT, Seagate has now announced that it is selling a 3.5 inch hard drive equipped with 1 TB platters. The drive will first of all be included in Samsung’s range of external hard drives (the GoFlex range) with 3 TB models using just three platters (surface density of 625 Gb per square inch). A three platter Barracuda XT 3 TB is also likely to be launched, though no date has yet been given.

AMD Phenom II X4 980 BE   Posted on 03/05/2011 at 16:00 by Guillaume

	AMD has just launched a new processor, the Phenom II X4 980. Still based on the Deneb core, this CPU, which will probably be the last Phenom II X4, is clocked at 3.7 GHz. This is 100MHz more than its predecessor, the Phenom II X4 975 which was launched at the beginning of January. The TDP is still 125 watts and its price has been announced at $195, which is the same as the Phenom II X4 975. The pricing for the rest of the Phenom II range is likely now to slip down.
