Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) Day 1

Author: Dennis Garcia

AMD seems to be all about pimpin partnerships as at least part of their booth was dedicated to AMD ready motherboards and ATI video cards.

The main reason for my visit at the AMD booth was to see the new LGA pinless processors and wouldn't you know Asus had a partner board on display.

The other motherboards were based on the AM2 socket including 2 identical nForce boards from Foxconn and EVGA. Goes to show how far the reference designs actually go when it comes to motherboard design.

The last item of interest was this rackmount server that ran so efficient the cpu fan would only run when required, which actually was not very often.
