New Extraterrestrial business idea: A US-based company wants to lure customers by offering to deliver small packages to the moon. The end of 2017 to the first delivery of private programs held for the Earth’s satellite and make the remembrance contained thus “immortal”.

Currently experiencing the private space in the US a real wedding. Besides the well known industry representatives SpaceX, which it has been possible to land a rocket on land and on a drone ship in the ocean, but still want to earn other companies in this boom. US start-up Astrobotic hopes to cash with the idea of moon post, in order to finance the actual mission.

The bigger the package the higher the price

Under the heading Moon mail and with the motto “do your souvenir on the moon immortal “the company advertises currently on its homepage to private customers who are interested in a package delivery to the lunar surface. As usual with the space, the potential size of the Moon delivery, however, remains relatively limited. “Astrobotic now accepts small souvenirs, which are received at our first mission to the moon,” the company said. “This memory will be stored for centuries there.”

In the first step, interested customers have to choose one of three basic capsules, so to speak, serve as packet size for souvenirs. The service fee for the smallest container with dimensions of 1.3 cm to 0.3 cm is 460 dollars. Those who book the widest possible moon package with dimensions of 2.5 cm to 5 cm, have to pay $ 25,800. After the capsule was then sent to Astrobotic, this promise in the next step with a “high-resolution photo” to document exactly when in the is used according to lunar vehicle, with the total private space programs are to be placed on the lunar surface.

Astrobotic wants the Moon mail finance part of its actual main mission, which is the first private company to carry out a commercial moon landing. So he can do the moon for “scientists, researchers and other pioneers” accessible again.

The new box RL05 of the Redline series has been created with the goal of exceeding the user experience and their expectations of what the chassis affordable computer, offering a striking visual style and technical features that usually are reserved for models more expensive brands. The RL05 includes two LED 140mm fans to provide the best possible input to achieve a high flow of air through the front filter according to the configuration and characteristic of computer boxes SilverStone of positive air pressure, which not only provides a large cooling but also a low dust accumulation inside the box, since the air escaping from the same prevents it from inside.

The bottom areas of the case where the power supply and the bay device is housed, have covers to clearly separate the individual components of the interior and thus have areas of separate cooling, while allowing users to hide the wires not necessary for building your team, providing a flawless appearance inside.

AMD Mobility Radeon 400 series

The catalog of the AMD Radeon R9 M400 series includes three chips. The Radeon R9 M485X, M470X the Radeon R9 and R9 Radeon M470. The three chips are based on core graphics cards already on the market: For example, the Radeon R9 M485X is powered by the AMD Antigua XT GPU. This chip has the same specifications as the Radeon R9 M395X with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory operating in a memory bus of 256 bits and a memory clock of 1250 MHz. The other two chips are based on the architecture of the charts Bonaire core. The Radeon R9 M470X has 14 computer units including 896 stream processors, while the GPU Radeon R9 470 comes with 12 computer units that move 768 shaders. Both chips have 4 GB of GDDR5 memory at a speed of 1500 MHz, running a memory interface of 128 bits.

The catalog of the AMD Radeon R7 M400 series includes five chips. All chips are based on older graphics cards. Starting with the Radeon R7 M465X having a chip 512 stream processors and includes 4GB GDDR5 GRAM with a clock frequency of 1125 MHz. The next two are nuclei Topaz XT based on Radeon R7 M465 and R7 M460 using the same core configuration of 384 stream processors with 4 GB of GRAM. There are also variants with only 5 units employing computer (320 stream processors), including the Radeon R7 M445 and M440 Radeon R7.

The memory includes variants 4GB GDDR5 or DDR3 with a clock frequency of 1000 MHz and run all through a 64 – bit bus.

Seeing everything you have just read, certainly more than one you’re wondering where are the graphs with Polaris. Well, since AMD has not yet presented these graphics cores, it is logical that are not reflected on their website, but I noticed that there are certain nomenclatures that AMD has not yet presented such as the M490X R9, M490, M480X and M480 . These, these models assume that will incorporate the new Polaris that cores inside. And of them, as a personal opinion, I think the R9 and R9 M490X M490 portable version will incorporate a core Polaris 10, while the M480X R9 and R9 M480 will be incorporating within the Polaris 11 cores.
