May 08, 2012 By: admin Category: General

If you’re looking for a speaker dock that’s sure to cost more than your iPad, look no further than the Beoplay A3 from Bang & Olufsen.  The Beoplay A3 is made of ABS plastic and aluminum; it comes with rubber collars to work with any iPad.  It’s a 2.1 stereo system with three 0.5? tweeters and 1 2? woofer.  The Beoplay A3 senses its orientation – horizontal or vertical – and activates the appropriate speakers for the best stereo sound.  It reproduces 60-15000 Hz.  Firmware can be upgraded via B&O’s online Setup Utility app.  It comes with an AC adapter, and it has an internal battery for up to 5 hours of playback.  It even acts as an alarm clock.  It’s not available yet, and pricing isn’t known, but you can sign up to be notified when they are available for purchase.

As NVIDIA readies its 28nm family of Kepler graphics cards, more and more details are starting to trickle out. Just yesterday, NVIDIA teased an Acer Ultrabook packing a mysterious new GT640M card based on the Kepler architecture. Today, we’re seeing information about the GTX 680 surfacing on multiple sites. China-based PCOnline posted specs it claims to have received from an internal NVIDIA source, including a 1,536 CUDA core count, 1,006MHz core frequency, 195W TDP and 6Gbps memory. If it turns out to be true that it supports 2GB of 256-bit GDDR5 VRAM, that would fall short of AMD’s Radeon HD 7970, whose 384-bit bus serves 3GB of GDDR5 memory. Then again, these specs don’t quite match what was previously rumored, so perhaps there’s still room for some surprises. No word on a release date or price, so for now you’ll have to make do with parsing those source links.
