Core i7-7700K specs were leaked. Through the database software benchmarks SiSoft SANDRA has leaked what will be the next processor Intel “Kaby Lake” Core i7-7700K , a processor of four cores and eight threads of a process that will form the top end of the processors “normal” desktop (not extreme) Intel for its next generation.

Just just landed on the market the sixth generation of Intel Core processors and the company has already prepared the seventh generation, named Kaby Lake. The Intel Core i7-7700K is the flagship of this ship for its range of desktop, and so we can see in the database SiSoft SANDRA it is a quad-core processor with hyperthreading (eight processing threads) will work base to 3.6 Ghz and 4.2 Ghz will reach in Turbo Boost mode.

When compared with the current Core i7-6700K, operating at 4 GHz base and 4.2 GHz in Turbo mode, in principle we found no gain but quite the opposite, but be aware that the model that has appeared in this 7700K database is certainly an engineering sample just like the Intel Core i7 6950x that went on sale on Ebay and was an engineering sample as well.

BMI of i7-7700K work at 4 GHz, and integrated graphics core will have 24 execution units, like the current Skylake-D. The cache configuration would also be the same, with 256 KB L2 per core memory and 8 MB shared L3 memory. The “Kaby Lake” chip will be manufactured, also with the process 14 nanometer Intel, and logically because the data are quite similar to the current generation is to understand that the improvement will be in energy efficiency (we face a processor Core i7 with only 65W TDP?).

In any case, it seems logical to think that Kaby Lake use the same Intel LGA1151 socket that Skylake, and in theory be compatible with the 100 series of chipsets if we stick to the tick-tock process that Intel has been following many generations already. However, it is expected that the 200 series of chipsets accompany the launch of Kaby Lake when it occurs.

Antec has announced the launch of a new addition to its catalog of boxes Performance family, Antec P1 Window. With a lot like Corsair Obsidian 750D of, with modular and capable of accommodating interior design high – end hardware , it incorporates P1 Window insulation sound systems and will sell for a price that will be around 80 euros.

With the P1 Window, Antec has tried to combine a sleek design with great functionality and versatility. To begin with, as mentioned before has a modular interior in which we can put on and remove the racks for hard disks according to our needs, being able this box to house the hardware higher-end graphics cards, power supplies and heat sinks processor of any size.

The Antec Window P1 incorporates sound insulating panels in the front area and the right side. The left side of the box is dominated by a large window that lets you view all internal hardware, but despite the window and insulation systems noise is a box that stands out for its good cooling, since it includes two front fans for get fresh indoor air, with filters anti removable dust from the side, a rear fan and, at the top, incorporates three mounting points fans where you can install a radiator liquid cooling up to 360 mm in length.

Antec is expected to P1 Window is available in stores starting this month of May at a price which will be around 80 euros (the have already announced in England at a price of 69.99 pounds sterling).

As usual, Intel has distributed its engineering samples between partners and means to enable them start with the relevant evidence in each case. But it seems now has an unconventional situation is that one of these partners or media has not respected the agreement with Intel and has put on sale on Ebay an engineering sample of a Intel Core i7-6950X ” Broadwell-E ” processor to the tune of $ 1950.

I’ll be completely honest, from the point of view of a media: as you know manufacturers often send us samples of their products to perform analysis, and if the product has a moderate cost, often it can be us for our personal use or testing laboratory. It is very unusual, not to say that this only happens to a few privileged, the manufacturer will yield an engineering sample that has a crazy price as is the case now concerns us. Of course there are people who do this for doing business but this, in my view, beyond all limits because as I mentioned earlier there is a confidentiality agreement by which has not been respected.

The Intel Core i7-6950X that is for sale is a processor 10 cores and 20 threads of process based on the Broadwell-E 14 nanometer architecture that is yet to be announced officially.It is compatible with Intel socket LGA 2011v3 (X99 chipset) and has a TDP of 140 watts.They are attached in the advertisement placed on Ebay high resolution images that leave no doubt that the product is authentic.

As you can see in the ad, who lives in the US has the processor, and charges an additional $ 50 for shipping costs shipping to anywhere in the world. So, if you want to have this processor before anybody else and you can spare $ 2,000 for nothing, now you have a good chance. However, it falls discounted according to the policy say that Intel engineering samples belong to the company regardless of any other situation, so in theory this sale would be unlawful.

ASRock presents its new motherboard the entry level for socket LGA1151, the ASRock H110M-HDVP with additional connectivity for personal computers used in offices and aimed at addressing the use of older peripherals. To do this, ASRock has included among its connections back a connected directly to the motherboard COM port and PS / 2 connectors for keyboard and mouse. ASRock H110M-HDVP specs are given below.

The new ASRock H110M-HDVP is built following the micro ATX form factor using the new manufacturing technology printed circuit that minimizes the space between the layers of glass fiber, short circuits by minimizing moisture accumulation. For the energy required, the board employs a combination of power connector 24-pin power connector and 4-pin EPS, fitted with a 3 + 1 VRM basic phases. The plate has two DDR4 DIMM slots that support up to 32GB of dual channel memory in combinations of 2 x 16 GB.

The expansion slots on the ASRock H110M-HDVP include PCIe 3.0 x16 size, a PCI slot and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots size. Storage connectivity includes four ports SATA 6 Gb / s at the lower right side of the plate and rotated 90 degrees to make your stay more orderly connection when it is used.

The display outputs incorporating the motherboard include an HDMI connector, D-Sub15 other connector and one DVI-D. Among its connectivity options, the ASRock H110M-HDVP incorporates two RS-232 serial COM ports (one on the rear panel and one other through a specific connector on the motherboard), a parallel connector LPT type (located on the plate base) and two independent ports PS / 2 keyboard and mouse.

Three USB 2.0 ports (two as heads on the motherboard and one on the back of it), four USB 3.0 ports (two via headers and two on the rear panel of the plate), 6-channel audio HD and a Gigabit Ethernet connector is responsible for completing the latest connectivity of this new model from the Taiwanese manufacturer.

It is expected that the price of the new ASRock H110M-HDVP less than 80 €.

TWRP aka team win recovery project has churned out Samsung Galaxy S7 TWRP aka S7 custom recovery and all credits go to folks at XDA for making it available to the public. This is a fully touch driven user interface and no more playing around with buttons just to navigate the UI.

[RECOVERY][QCOM][heroqlte] TWRP 3.0.0-0 touch recovery [2016-03-12], Tool/Utility for the Samsung Galaxy S7

With the release of TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S7, users will be able to flash custom ROMs and all sorts of S7 specific hacks on it. So far there is no CWM aka clock work mod recovery that is similar to the S7 custom recovery but lacks touchscreen interactivity.
