Rumor: Microsoft to Detail Windows 10 Consumer Features in January

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 09:16 PM PST

Windows 10 Consumer PreviewSpecial event rumored for late January

When Microsoft introduced the Windows 10 Technical Preview back in October, it requested ordinary consumers (i.e. humanity minus enterprise users and enthusiasts) to steer clear of the new operating system until the release of the consumer preview. However, it did not give a specific date for the release of the consumer preview, only saying that it would be sometime during early 2015. A much more specific time frame for the release of the consumer preview has now emerged.

The folks over at The Verge claim to have been told by "sources familiar with the company's plans" that Microsoft plans to detail Windows 10's consumer-specific features at a special event in late January. Further, their sources have asked them to expect the consumer event to be "more significant" than the technical preview unveiling, which was a rather quiet affair. The site expects Microsoft to announce the exact details of the consumer preview release event later this year.

Apart from shedding light on a large number of consumer-oriented features like a new touch interface called Continuum, the Redmond-based company, says The Verge, "will also detail its plans for Windows phones and tablets, and possibly dashboard updates for its Xbox One gaming console."

Asus Unveils Strix 7.1 Gaming Headset

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 07:44 PM PST

Strix 7.1 HeadsetPacks ten discrete drivers

Asus recently announced a new gaming headset called the Strix 7.1. While it retains the same "iconic" owl-eye design as the Strix DSP that the company announced in July, this newest member of the Strix family differs from the DSP in one big way. Unlike the DSP, which has two massive 60mm drivers, the Strix 7.1 has as many as ten discrete drivers.

There's also a dedicated plug-and-play USB audio station to keep the Strix 7.1 company. Besides acting as a USB sound card, the audio station is responsible for delivering up to 90 percent noise cancellation. Other features include a headphone amplifier, volume control, lighting effects control and game audio preset selection. There are four game-audio spectrum profiles: FPS Gunfire Mode, FPS Footsteps Mode, Action/RPG Mode, Racing Mode.

  • Connector: USB (via the audio station)
  • Speaker driver dimensions: 40mm front; 40mm subwoofer; 30mm center; 20mm rear; 20mm side
  • Driver material: Neodymium magnet
  • Impedance: 32 ohms
  • Frequency response: 20Hz–20kHz
  • Lighting effects: Static/Breathing/Off
  • Microphone type: Detachable
  • Pick-up pattern: Unidirectional
  • Frequency response: 50Hz–16kHz
  • Sensitivity: -40 ± 3dB
  • ENC performance (Audio Station): More than 90% environmental noise cancellation

There's no word on pricing and availability yet.

Benchmarks of What Could be the AMD R9 390X Allegedly Leaked

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 04:29 PM PST

AMD Logo

Numbers point to a powerful yet efficient graphics card

Ever since Nvidia launched the GM204-based GTX 980 a couple of months back, there has been a great deal of speculation around AMD's likely response. And with the company itself remaining tightlipped on this subject, speculation and rumors are pretty much all that we have got at this stage. That being said, we are willing to tolerate rumors as long as they come from a credible source and are sufficiently juicy.

The purportedly leaked performance numbers of an upcoming high-end graphics card that someone recently posted on Chinese tech forum ChipHell are a case in point. As pointed out by WCCFTECH, a number of  previous GPU benchmarks leaked onto the Chinese site have turned out to be accurate and, for all its worth, these latest benchmark charts are in the same format as many of the accurate ones. (Even so, don't dispense with that proverbial pinch of salt.) As for the succulence of this rumor, we will let the numbers in the two benchmark charts posted below do the talking.

Posted a few days back by a ChipHell user known only by the handle "Junmiu," the two benchmark charts provide a performance and power efficiency comparison between an upcoming AMD graphics card codenamed "Captain Jack" and some of the best GPUs currently on the market.
