Foxconn shows off Inferno Katana
Hot sword
Tuesday, 16 June 2009, 12:34
FOXCONN has just released its high end P55 based motherboard, which it calls the Inferno Katana.
According to 4Gamer (in Chinese), the MOBO will be flogged under the outfit's Quantum Force series of motherboards and uses all the red paintwork of the "Flaming Blade" brand. Frankly it looks like a bit of a mess to us.
It has the usual three PCIe slots, four DIMM slots, and six SATA ports, but has added a 12 phase Hybrid PWM and passive cooling with a heatpipe to keep things nicely chilled when the going gets hot.
The board supports an Intel LGA1156 processor with Intel Turbo Boost technology, two channel DDR3 memory supporting up to 1800MHz, and three PCIe2.0 x16 slots with ATI CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI support.
No word on price yet. µ

Travel back in time to 1997, Intel had the Intel Pentium P54 series which clocked from 133MHz to 200MHz. They were then superceded by the short-lived P55 Pentium MMX which clocked from 133MHz to 233MHz.
Nick, the language of the 4Gamer web-page is in Japanese!!!
Secret Weapon From ati is 9.6:
AMD has released the latest Catalyst 9.6 ,which brings us several performance tweaks as well as improved Linux support.
Heres what AMD is promising in terms of improved performance:
Company of Heroes – performance gains of up to 25% for the ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series, and performance gains of up to 10% for the ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Crysis Warhead – performance gains of up to 11% for dual CrossFire
Crysis – performance gains of up to 13% for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual configuration
World in Conflict – performance gains of up to 30% for high settings that were previously CPU limited with the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series.
Of course, your performance may vary, depending on your particular system configuration.
Our favorite Scotsman, AMDs Ian McNaughton says his favorite community is the Linux community, and it also got a treat, in the guise of SLED and SLED 11 production support and RHEL 4.8 early look support
