ASUS Sabertooth X79 review

ASUS has a motherboard specifically for high-end workstations. The motherboard series called The Ultimate Force or commonly abbreviated as TUF. Not long ago they released a new motherboard variant of Intel's latest X79 chipset for Sandy Bridge-E in the form of the ASUS Sabertooth X79. This motherboard has come to the table of our testing! Intrigued by this board's performance? Check out our review below.

Sabertooth is a lion similar animals that lived in prehistoric times. Sabertooth name taken from the teeth shape that resembles a sword (saber). This animal is famous for "pugnacity" and her toughness in attacking prey. This theme is carried by ASUS when using this name for the variant TUF motheboard in his class. The motherboard in this class are known to look "fierce" and has a formidable performance. Currently, it has been present a new variant of the Sabertooth. Variants are already using X79. Whether the performance is promising ferocity and toughness in accordance with the reputation of the name it bears? Let us prove through testing in the lab.

QA testing in software development

Current developments in the field of computer technology and software developed so quickly that demands a variety of corporate software developers to compete closely with each other. The development of software is increasing and very varied. Many applications are very useful for the community in facilitating a variety of daily activities and make life easier.

To face the challenges of software development technology, the quality of the software is necessary before it will be marketed. QA testing service is necessary to test the feasibility and quality of software. It has very important role in testing software that was created by software developer before the software is marketed.

Alliance Global Services, which is a software development firm, has an important role in this case, the firm grows rapidly by building software applications, platforms and innovative products that are useful to society. In addition to determining whether the software is marketable or not, the previously held a variety of tests to avoid the errors that occur in the software before use.

There are many kinds of software that developed by this firm. The software has many benefits for human life in making their lives easier such as any software or applications on the Android phones which are the current trends.

BlackBerry 10, The new OS from BlackBerry

BlackBerry smartphone users? Be prepared for the presence of a revolutionary new OS from BlackBerry, BlackBerry 10. This new Operating System should be able to change the view of the outside of the BlackBerry (by some people) is considered as a smartphone for email and fuel alone.

New Base

After a long struggle with the old OS (yes, even for OS7), RIM decided to switch to OS with a new basis, namely the QNX OS. Operating System is already long enough to use on the BlackBerry Playbook. Finally, RIM chose the OS for smartphones in the future development.
Performance: Fast

Yes, the resulting device performance became one of the emphasis has to offer. By developing an OS that makes an application to access the full hardware capabilities and a powerful combination with hardware, this can be obtained. Seeing that the base used is QNX OS, it is very likely to be reached.

Demo capability to do with the BlackBerry Playbook BB10 which uses dual-core processor with a PowerVR GPU do seem very convincing. From the demo that we saw during the BlackBerry DevCon Asia 2011 in Singapore, performing a combination of hardware and the OS does not need to doubt

BlackBerry 10 Flexibility: Easy

From the developers of applications, flexibility must exist, if a platform to gain widespread support. That's why RIM is preparing a variety of ways for application developers to create applications that can be paired with BB10. Starting from the support C, C + +, to the ease of developing web based applications and HTML5 for BB10. Adobe AIR also supported by BlackBerry 10, making developers more easily choose the base application. Uniquely, RIM promises that even the developers who use a web base application that can create beautiful and should be accelerated a native application.

To simplify the developer, RIM also provides a cascade. Simply put, it presents a variety of cascade effects package that can be immediately used by developers when designing applications. Thus, a notepad application could have been made to the effect that waving paper with ease because the developer does not need to design these effects again. This means the display and effects on applications built with the cascade will be beautiful, without burdening the programmer in designing these effects.

Runtime Environment: Abundant Applications

Well, this is one interesting thing. Playbook users may have never known that there is an Android application that can run on the Playbook. This extra benefit will be passed on BB10. So, BB10 will have the Android runtime environment that can run Android applications!

Example screenshot of a small Android application that works seamlessly on BlackBerry Playbook

Of course, there is a requirement for Android application can be run on the device BB10. Developers should do their repackaging in GER. This process of "wrapping back" is also facilitated by RIM by providing special tools. In the best conditions, a GER can be converted to run on BB10 within 10-15 minutes. RIM has even said that about 65% -70% of existing Android applications should now be converted easily and quickly.

Yes, GL acceleration in Android game can be run on the BlackBerry Playbook

Despite working in a runtime environment, applications that Android can still access the hardware fully. GL hardware acceleration as can be done easily. This is shown by Gameloft in his presentation to the participants BlackBerry DevCon Asia 2011.

Applications that are not available natively (such as the RSS reader of this gorgeous) for BlackBerry 10, can be obtained by repackaging Android Applications
BlackBerry 10: Revolution of the Brave

With a strong base of UNIX and open source libraries, RIM BlackBerry will soon be presenting a 10. This will be strengthened BlackBerry OS 10 BB 10, BB 10 services, and application platform environments BB 10. This means RIM is doing a very brave revolution. Of course, this is a breath of fresh air. Apparently, we will soon see the BlackBerry device that has the ability and support applications such as those encountered on the Android or even Apple's IOS.

Pilot Use iPad for Flight

iPad replace paper flight data charts in order to save millions dollar of  American Airlines flight. Data charts are usually available in printed paper form. But the pilots no longer need to store lots of data of paper weighing up to 16 pounds, because they will soon use the iPad.

American Airlines was running a test program that contains the application iPad aviation charts. Without paper, this airline will be able to save the cost of millions of dollars.
The first iPads testing will be conducted on a flight between Los Angeles and Tokyo and Shanghai. This method has previously been applied to Alaska Air in May.
U.S. aviation administration institutions previously called the iPad as a single class of electronic devices that can be used in aviation pilots. They also have approved the use iPad tablet.
This is contrary to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which said the existence of any portable electronic device can endanger the flight.

Performance Test: AMD FX-4100 with Intel Core i3 2100

AMD has launched a new processor for AM3 socket. For the mainstream classroom, AMD FX-4100 provides. With 4 cores and the speed of 3.6 GHz frequency, whether newcomers can compete with the Intel Core i3 2100 which is long enough to master this class?

From the specification, it appears that the AMD FX-4100 offers a better potential. Larger cache memory, higher speed and more cores makes the FX-4100 perform better. At least on paper. Meanwhile, Intel Core i3 2100 comes with a lower rate (even without the turbo) and fewer number of cores. However, hyperthread Intel (which makes it capable of running 4 threads) generally can not compete with the real core. In addition, the efficiency of Sandy Bridge architecture should also be taken into account.

The second price is relatively the same processor. Both are in Kisara 1 million dollars. If we look from the side of the platform support, both already have a fairly cheap motherboard support. At a later date, choose the AMD FX-4100 processor can lead to more investment lightly. As usual, board manufacturers will provide AMD solutions at prices cheaper than the Intel solution. Unfortunately, to date it has not happened.
