Nvidia has just unveiled the Tegra K1, a 64 bit, 192 CUDA core Keplar based (hence the K in the name)  processor. Not only are they significantly more powerful than the previous generation consoles (the PS3 and Xbox 360, more on this in a moment), but are also DX11 and OpenGL 4.4 compliant. Oh.

The Playstation 4’s CPU frequency is still unknown, despite lots of speculation. Sony have remained tight lipped concerning the machines clock speed, with ‘guesses’ ranging from between 1,6GHZ to 2GHZ. Just a few days ago, I ran with a piece of news discussing the performance of texturing using the “Substance Engine”. Allegorithmic’s middleware engine.

Now the Xbox One has seen a release in 13 territories around the world. Now people have torn the thing open, and explored just what makes the black box tick. While we have a reasonable idea exactly how the system ticks, there are still a few mysteries (mostly with the GPU’s compute) which we don’t.

Microsoft’s Xbox One has hit the wild, and of course we knew we’d start to uncover some of the more “hidden” components inside Microsoft’s system as people started to tear it apart. Inside the console, located on the main board is 8GB of flash memory- the model number is SK Hynix H26M42003GMR 8 GB eMMC.

The North American Launch of Sony’s Playstation 4 hasn’t gone as smoothly as perhaps Sony would have liked. Amazon and the internet as a whole have been flooded with comments that PS4’s have appeared DOA. The issue is that the system is supposed to show a white light, but instead the light simply flashes.

Welcome one and all!   To introduce myself, I am TheRivieraKid, the latest columnist and contributor here at Red Gaming Tech! My duties around the RGT house will range from assisting Crimson in reporting day to day tech news and goings on, as well as gaming reviews and news. I will also be bringing.

Rajat Taneja, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Electronic Arts made huge waves in the tech industry when he recently said to Linkedin “Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have adopted electronics and an integrated systems-on-a -chip (soc) architecture that unleashes magnitudes more compute and graphics power than the current generation.

The age of the APU is firmly here – and for low power devices, it brings a plethora of various benefits. An APU (or, to give it its full name Accelerated Processing Unit) integrates the CPU and GPU on one die. The idea behind this really started to hit home after AMD bought out.

If you live in the EU or the UK and you’re thinking of buying a multi-core CPU from AMD, you’ll likely be wuite happy with this news. In the bid to encourage the uptake of multi-core (and, no doubt to make its product offerings more appealing), AMD are offering cashback based upon the amount.

As I’m sure most of you know, all of Apple’s laptops all support the same kind of MagSafe magnetic adapter and have done so since it was introduced in 2006. However, Apple could soon have some competition in this particular field,  as a newly public patent application seems to suggest that Microsoft could be designing something.

A prototype Solid State Drive architecture has recently been unveiled by a team of researchers lead by a professor  of Chuo University which combines NAND flash with ReRAM components to boost performance while simultaneously cutting power draw by as much as 93%. The prototype device writes eleven times faster than a standard multi-level cell NAND flash components, while.
