AMD claims exclusive rights to the cable and connector technology for 1 year and it promises the cable itself will be cheap. The connector measures 32.3 x 12.2 x 6.1mm and will probably end up being the biggest connector on most laptops. It's still rather small, considering what it's intended to do and the bandwidth needed for external graphics.

Radeon 4870 To Best 9800 GTX, 260 GTX?
Fudo believes that AMD's Radeon 4870 will best not only the 9800 GTX but also the 260 GTX.
From all we know today, ATI’s card will end up cheaper which might make it more attractive, but it looks as if ATI will continue to mess with Nvidia’s plans. They messed up Nvidia’s suggested retail price with the RV670, and they don’t seem to stop with RV770 generation.
GeForce 200 GTX Numbers
The Inquirer has leaked GeForce 200 GTX series drivers.
The short story: not enough, not nearly enough. It is barely faster than a GX2, yields are crap, and there will only be a syphilitic trickle of parts on launch, slowing to next to nothing after that. Remember though, these parts are $449 for the 260, $649 for the 280, and they are barely faster than the ATI 770/4870. On price/performance, they lose badly, really badly, to the 770. On the high end, the R700 spanks them by wide margins, but those numbers will have to wait a bit.

Intel To Launch Mobile Quad-Core Processors
in mind the advent of desktop based quad-core processors in the mainstream, it was just a matter of time before they showed up in a mobile version too. This was confirmed by Digitimes, which goes onto say that Intel will be planning to launch its first quad-core CPU for notebooks, the Core 2 Extreme QX9300, in the third quarter this year. This new processor will be manufactured at 45nm and have a core frequency of 2.53GHz. The CPU will support FSB speeds up to 1066MHz, include 12MB L2 cache and have a maximum TDP of 45W.
While this announcement is good in terms of consumer choice, it raises a number of interesting questions. Despite the low heat dissipation of these processors, they will be a lot more power hungry as compared to standard dual-core processors and this will directly affect battery life. Secondly with such powerful chips, the GPU market will also need to keep pace enabling more realistic gaming on laptops, which is abysmal to say the least at its very best.
AMD Expands Its Tri-Core Range
AMD in a bid to remain competitive in the desktop market, has unveiled three additional tri-core Phenom processors.
The new Phenom X3 models are the 8750, 8650 and 8450, which have clock speeds of 2.4GHz, 2.3GHz and 2.1GHz respectively. All three CPUs offer a total of 1.5MB of Level 2 cache, 2MB of shared Level 3 cache and a TD of 95 watts. The processors are used in conjunction with the AMD 780 series chip set and ATI Radeon graphics.
The 8750 costs $195, the 8650 costs $165 and the 8450 costs $145. All three processors carry a "50" designation to show that the chips are part of a new batch of silicon called "B3," which corrected a design flaw in the original quad-core processors.
"In today's market, customers are too often forced to weigh the benefits of one component over another while sifting through one-sided marketing claims," said Leslie Sobon, AMD director of Product and Brand Management. "AMD is the only company in the world that is able to deliver a balanced platform solution without compromise, delivering a thrilling visual experience and powerful multi-threaded application performance."
