Intel Prepares 6-Core CPUs

Intel is planning to launch its 6-core Dunnington microprocessor. It should be the last Core marchitecture based CPU before switching over to Nehalem which is capable of supporting 8 or more cores.

Being a successor of Harpertown, Dunnington is reported to have 3 dual-core Penryn chips "glued" together on the die size of a postage stamp (similar to what they did on Core 2 Quad I guess). It will boast a shared L3 cache of 16MB and a TDP of over 120W.

It should be available in Q3 or even Q2, before the launch of Nahalem processors.

Zalman FG1000 FPSGun Mouse

ZalmanGUN-like mouse optimized for FPS (First Person Shooting) games,





comes with a "trigger" style button instead of a normal "click".






There's 5 programmable buttons available for each of your fingers.





Ergonomic grip is advertised to "virtually eliminate extended gaming session fatigues"







"The sensor located ahead of the grip allows large/quick manipulation with small movements."

I'm not sure what this means, but it seems like a higher sensitivity to me...
