Kodak EasyShare 5300: 10 cent photos   Posted on 16/07/2007 at 16:36 by Vincent

	the Kodak EasyShare 5300 proposes photos at 10 cts a piece, 2 to 5 times cheaper than the ink jet competition. For office use, Kodak also announces price "50% inferior to other current leading products". Would the reign of the « old guard » be going to an end because of this unusual all-in-one? This printer underwent our usual batch of tests: autonomy, office print and photo quality, speed, scanning and copies... some might actually want to choose it! The savings are indeed really significant! > Kodak EasyShare 5300: 10 cent photos

Intel launches the Core 2 Extreme QX6850   Posted on 16/07/2007 at 06:00 by Damien

	After dual core processors, it’s the quadcore’s turn to change to FSB1333 with the arrival of the Core 2 Extreme QX6850. Similar to the Core 2 Extreme QX6800, it’s set at 3 GHz versus QX6800’s 2.93 GHz. Performances will therefore be close between these two processors and in a week their prices will also be identical at $999. Intel thus assures its supremacy in the high end a week before a significant lowering of prices on some models. The Core 2 Quad Q6600 will see its price cut in half or $266 instead of $530, which make the quadcore more affordable. This release also accompanies the transition to stepping G0, which we should start to see at the end of the month. The change will mean a non-negligible gain in terms of power consumption with about 10 watts for a mono core and about 20 for a dual core.
