The Full Frame

To UNLOCK laser it is 3 short presses and 2 slightly longer presses.

Like so:

. . . – –

After the laser has been unlocked it will begin low power strobe mode.

One quick press will switch to steady beam mode.

Press and hold the button for a second to switch to high power mode.

Press and hold for 3+ seconds to return laser to locked mode.

Be Safe!

MISUSE of this laser will not only get you serious fines and jail time, but it will also cause lawmakers to outlaw this for everyone.

With this year’s new tech releases just about to start shipping for Q2 retail cycle we are getting some interesting news out of China and Korea about early leaked shipments of AMD’s new “Thuban” 6 core desktop processors.

Surprise surprise! We see this: LOCAL MIRROR OF SITE, REAL ONE WENT DOWN A series of benchmarks posted publicly early yesterday morning featuring AMD’s new non-opteron 6 core (hexacore) processor at its stock speed of 3.2 gHz.

Comparing these results to other readily available CPU benchmarks for the i7 and company we see that AMD’s newest processor comes in to be midway between Intel’s i7 860 and the i7 965 and takes a healthy lead from the defacto standard i7 920 that has dominated the rigs of gamers and enthusiasts across the industry. At an “assumed” US retail price of $295 we can be sure that this will change the gaming and power computing landscape of 2010.

Table of Pricing AMD – http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/amd-six-core-cpu-prices-and-clock-speeds-unearthed/

Granted top spots for performance still go to Intel hardware with hyperthreading features that effectively double the core count AMD is doing great work with 6 logical cores. AMD stands to take a healthy lead across the industry due in part to the fact that the new Phenom II x6 processors will be fully backwards compatible with AMD’s AM2+ socket (utilizing DDR2 memory standard) at well as their newer AM3 socket (DDR3 memory), so that means that the vast majority of gamers using AMD rigs will be able to purchase and drop in this CPU as a direct upgrade! With news of Intel’s next generation of processors being completely incompatible with the late 2008 LGA 1366 “i7” socket Intel is effectively stranding its current user base.

Time will tell, but this a great and simple upgrade until AMD Bulldozer architecture (supposedly with hyperthreading) hits stores in the next year or two.

As with any leaked information take the pricing and reviews as a grain of salt but we can expect AMD to become competitive in the marketplace in the next few months, and that my friends benefits us all.
