AMD Shows Off 16-Core ‘Interlagos’ Reference Design

AMD has unveiled Interlagos, an architecture based on the newest 8-core Bulldozer processor with more than 1 billion transistors. Interlagos will have up to 16 cores and 4 channels of DDR-3 memory perfect for HPC environments. This new platform is designed to be a natural upgrade for AMD’s Opteron 4100 and 6100 Series because the user will not have to upgrade BIOS, drivers, or associated software – just pop in the new processor and enjoy the speed enhancements. Announced a few days ago, AMD sent us a link to show off just how easy the upgrade will be.

World of Warcraft has helped scientists prepare for real-world epidemics

•February 28, 2011 • Leave a Comment
Amplify’d from www.pcgamer.com

As part of the Serious Games Summit, Rutgers University epedemiologist Nina H. Fefferman has explained how the Corrupted Blood plague that savaged World of WarCraft in 2005 helped scientists study and plan for real-word epidemic situations. Read on for the details.

The Corrupted Blood attack was inserted into the game by Blizzard in 2005 as a spell cast by Hakkar; the end boss of the Zul’Gurub dungeon. When attacked, Hallar cast a hit-point depleting spell which was supposed to last for just ten seconds and only apply within Zul’Gurub. However, players soon realised that if they teleported out of the dungeon and into player-filled areas, the spells effects could be passed on to others. “People were infected,” said Fefferman, “and instead of killing Hakkar or dying themselves, they went back to the cities and infected others.” And so started the plague; an epidemic that contaminated city after city within Azeroth.

Apple iPad 2 – Annoucement?

Because of a swarm of unverified rumors hovering around the iPad 2, there was some understandable skepticism when news came out that Apple might possibly be having a March 2 event to unveil the iPad 2. Kara Swisher at All Things Digital broke the story, citing unnamed sources, and at first glance it seemed like it might just be more empty speculation.

iPad inviteThat wasn’t the case, however, as invitations have just been sent to the media confirming that there will be an event, it will be on March 2nd in San Francisco at 10:00 AM Pacific, and it will focus primarily/exclusively on the next iPad.

This event is being held surprisingly close to Apple’s February 24th MacBook Pro launch, which was supposed to be the major announcement of the moment for Apple.

However, in the face of reports that workers are being negatively affected by toxic chemicals at Apple manufacturing plants, and rumors of delays on the iPad 2 production line (the combination of these stories dropping Apple’s stock 2.7%), it’s understandable that the company would want to quell the negative publicity in favor of some iPad 2 hype.

Fable III on your PC and Fable Coin Golf on your phone

Right before I looked at the new Fable III: Traitor’s Keep DLC yesterday, I played around with Fable III for PC, as well as the mobile game Fable Coin Golf for Windows Phone 7.

Fable III seems like a pretty straightforward port, with a couple new bits. First, there’s the addition of a “hardcore mode” difficulty setting. So, if you like your meat rare and your games tough, this might be for you.

New RAGE gameplay trailer paints a generic ‘wasteland,’

•February 26, 2011 • Leave a Comment
Amplify’d from www.gamesradar.com

The Fallout/Borderlands/Mad Max/etc. setting is decidedly uninspiring (calling it ‘The Wasteland’ almost seems like an intentional joke), but the world’s id-Tech-5-powered vibrancy, the quality of id’s character designs and animations, and the promise of shooting stuff in the head and driving buggies through explosions all holds our interest more than well enough:

RAGE is scheduled to release September of this year (the 13th in North America, 15th in Europe), and you can expect to see a helluva lot more of it in the coming months – id and Bethesda aren’t just seeking commercial success for the game, they’re also banking on the industry success of the engine. They’ve clearly already stepped up the game’s marketing push, as obviously evidenced by the look of our site at the moment.
