Quote from the IDF coverage at ExtremeTech: “The most convincing indication that a company has its act together is the information it's willing to put out to the press. A company with nothing to hide typically feels confident that its competition will be unable to catch up, no matter what information they're provided with. That's the impression Intel gave at its Developer Forum this week, where documents normally… Read More

In a news announcement on HardOCP, owner Kyle Bennet posted the following: “We set out to defend our rights by refusing to take down this article about Infinium Labs CEO Tim Roberts, and the court has awarded us final victory today. Infinium Labs and Tim Roberts cost HardOCP close to a quarter million dollars in legal fees as we stood up for our rights. We will continue to share our opinions and the facts about cheats,… Read More

“A lot of lawyers from that firm are walking away with not only lawyers fees from all the work they did for Infinium Labs (unless on retainer), but a hefty bit of pocket change. Most cashed in their stock on the 11th for almost $100,000. Mr. Chapnick gets the lion's share with almost $750,000 dollars. Hey, we all pretty much laughed at the ridiculous nature of the letter at the time. Who's laughing now all the way to the… Read More

Quote from the review at Beyond3D: “As the specifications show, the configuration of R430 actually appears to be exactly the same as the higher cost R423 and R480 chips, however it saves cost on the process used. Whilst the R423 and R480 are based on the 130nm low-k process R430 uses the lower cost 110nm process, which is an optical shrink of TSMC's 130nm process. Using 110nm reduces cost in two ways as it both lacks a higher… Read More

Quote from the preview at HardOCP: “There is a very obvious pattern here; 1600×1200 with AA and AF on the X800XT. Only in one game did we have to play at 1280×1024, and that was only because the game, NFS: Underground did not support 1600×1200 resolution. Otherwise every single game was playable at 1600×1200 with AA and AF! We find this to be nothing short of incredible and frankly we did not think we would… Read More

Following a series of threats of legal action over the past weeks, Florida-based broadband console proponent Infinium Labs has finally filed a lawsuit against technology news website HardOCP over an article written last September. Both the company itself and its CEO, Tim Roberts, have filed lawsuits in Florida which accuse HardOCP of defamation in an article written on the site last September which profiled – in a highly unflattering… Read More

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “When we started this evaluation, we had MSI board that we were not too excited about. What we ended up with was much different. MSI has now afforded the enthusiast with what is easily one of the most affordable Pentium 4 overclocking platforms we have seen in quite a while with the PT880 Neo. Not only is the PT880 Neo “Prescott Ready” as advertised, it is ready to take the right… Read More

An ongoing war of words has turned into a court battle with computer hardware Website HardOCP responding to threats from Infinium Labs with a lawsuit of their own. The issue arises from a September 17, 2003 article on HardOCP in which site owner Kyle Bennett wrote a critical analysis of Infinium's planned Phantom gaming console and CEO Timothy Roberts. After a threat of lawsuits and a 10-day deadline imposed by Infinium's group… Read More

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “One of the Big 5 mainboard makers have thrown their hands in the air when it comes to pushing up voltages on the new Prescott CPUs. If you are looking at becoming a Prescott enthusiast, this might make you reconsider.” Read the full article

Gamespot is reporting that Infinum, the company behind the Phantom gaming console, will begin legal action against HardOCP if they do not remove an article critical of them within 10 days. Gamespot says that according to an Infinium representative, HardOCP was “one of the original sites to have spread misinformation” about makers of the yet-to-be-released Phantom game console. The September 2003 article on the HardOCP… Read More

Quote from the article at HardOCP: “Intel has been promising their new core for a while now and on this Super Bowl Sunday they finally deliver. Intel teases us with four new Prescott cores, a newly clocked Gallatin core, and the final chapter of the Northwood core. We put the 3.2GHz CPUs head to head to head and of course throw in Athlon64s and an AthlonFX-51 in order to find out who is king of the silicon. Officially, Prescotts in… Read More

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “Now is the point where I'll lose most of our readers. You may find yourself asking where our overclocking results are and I'll be glad to tell you: There are none. For an undetermined reason, this board did not take kindly to overclocking at all. I refuse to dismiss the potential of this board (ASUS continues to cater to the overclocking crowd), but am sad to report that even a 215FSB… Read More

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “As far as the Athlon64 solutions available in terms of raw speed and overclocking potential, the ZNF3-150 shows us great value in both areas. In both stock and overclocked situations, it was one of the fastest Athlon64 boards I've tested to date. Couple these facts with the sheer amount of stuff included / bundled with the board, and you definitely have one killer solution. However, this… Read More

Our friends at HardOCP are pushing the envelope again. This time they are studying and questioning the validity of synthetic benchmarks. Video card companies will try just about anything to get their products into your hands, but just how far will they go? Quote: Bottom line is that no company is beyond reproach when it comes to your money being on the table. You need to be able to make an informed decision about the hardware… Read More

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “I can offer this: The Albatron offered much more performance than I would have expected. Outside the current overclocking problems, the K8X800 Pro II is well-designed and kept up with a crowd that is starting to become infamous in the performance circles and a big portion of that crowd is made up by ASUS and ABIT. There is the annoying layout flaw that is the DDR/AGP issue, but realistically… Read More
