WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

Announced the World's first mobile chip that can perform 4k 60hz video is named the Tegra X1.
Tegra X1 is based on the maxwell gpu for power efficiency and performance. 

 
Unreal Engine 4 is shown running Elemental on the Tegra X1 in realtime:

 
Tegra X1 is the first gpu for Nvidia to create a new format and achieve new performance:

 
The Tegra X1 is even compared against the Intel Core i7 exceeding its performance at less power:

 
NVidia is now adapting the Tegra X1 for automotive use where your car is going to become one of the world's most advanced computational devices.
 
Nvidia also unveiled the a new computer platform the "Drive CX" which can process 6.2 megapixels, running virtual machines, 4k displays and support every major os in the world and includes the new Drive Studio by Nvidia.

 
As see, the Drive CX is demo'd as powering the dashboard of the car dubbed the "Digital Cockpit"
The Drive CX is powering everything in the new infotainment system for automobiles. 
The map rendered has ambient occlusion, gpu rendered vectors, and uses 3D Geometry.
 

 
The GPU is also able to render materials and retexture parts of the digital elements.
The image below is using bamboo texturing in realtime.

 
My Favourite: Carbon Fibre

 
NVidia hopes to achieve "Ecosystem Unification".
 

To achieve environmental rendering, situation aware and software updates, NVidia dreams to have a car to have supercomputing capabilities using their new DrivePX.
The DrivePX can be run in parallel or standalone. Introduces computer vision and surround vision.

 
All inputs as NVidia imagines will feed into the DrivePX including cameras, sensors, etc...

 
Deep Neural Net Computer Vision is a new technology with the DrivePX to simulate computer learning dynamically.
So engineers no longer need to hard code certain features or surroundings.

 
GPUs are required for parallel processing. GPUs can now recognise more images than humans.

 
Neural Net diagram.

 
Nvidia's new technology can see many types of the same thing/class such as different signs and forms of pedestrians.
In Nvidia's example, it is shown that it can process a cyclist but cannot see the bicycle behind a police car, however once it recognizes the bicycle, it reclassifies as a cyclist. Such as differentiating between red and green, a car or an ambulance.

Nvidia's car technology is shown with the Audi car self-driving on the Formula 1 Track in Germany. There is no one inside the car.

AMD FreeSync technology for smoother gaming - FreeSync technology enables an improved gaming experience through dynamic refresh rates that are synchronized to the frame rate of AMD Radeon™ graphics cards and APUs. At CES, AMD's partners, including, BenQ, LG Electronics, Nixeusm, Samsung, and ViewSonic will showcase the world's first FreeSync-enabled displays1.
 
1 FreeSync is an AMD technology designed to reduce or eliminate screen tears in games and videos by allowing the monitor's refresh rate to be controlled by and synchronized to the Radeon R-series graphics card or APU Radeon R-series graphics. Requires DisplayPort 1.2a compliant monitors that support DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync and an AMD desktop 2014 A-series APU with Radeon R-series graphics, with forthcoming FreeSync-enabled driver. Support for use with multiple monitors planned. Confirm supported technologies with system manufacturer before purchase.

PS: More AMD news also^

nothing new here, he's just talking about supply and demand, and future R&D cost, nothing to start the classic green vs red war, both sides can do this effectively (if the conditions are given ofc)

Oh god why. It's bad enough that I have to spend like $350 for a 760, but the fact that price is probably going to go up.

Lol, fuck you nvidia.

This is probably the first piece of positive news that I have seen about the whole Facebook and Oculus thing, and funny enough, it doesn't even involve either companies. Remember kids: Research who you're investing in. 

What is the point of an Android phone if it can't run Google apps.
 
Nokia, you are fucking stupid.

This is what I said 3 days ago:
 

 
They copy Apple blatantly. Got 2 things predicted correctly.
 
I'm not saying Apple was the first with gold coloured phones, or finger print sensor the more important points are that
 
Samsung has introduced gold colour availability AFTER Apple had released the 5s. Why don't they do it before them? I don't think any other phone has a finger print sensor on the home button itself before the 5s, so once again, Samsung copies and puts a fingerprint sensor on the home button Im surprised that there was no dual flash or even a 64 bit processor!

You mean the "Galaxy s4s"

Just get Trilian 5, MSN network works fine. And you bring all your friends different networks into 1. Plus, it syncs your conversations with all your systems.

I call bullshit on the article, seeing as the most reliable company just so conveniently happens to be the company whose hard drives were known as "Deathstars".
 
Also, all of my Seagate drives have been running strong.

Everyone needs to chillax a little bit here...
 
It's a computer.

Dude if you want to be on the hate Apple bandwagon, good for you. You're so blinded by your hatred that you don't even know what you are talking about. Price? Look above, I think I did a pretty good job on that one, don't you think? Mac Pros aren't meant for Home machines, you dolt. They are Professional Grade Machines. We've tried telling you that time and time again, but you aren't listening still, are you? You can NOT try and compare a Haswell based gaming rig to a Xeon based system designed for professionals. Never in the history has that ever been a good idea. I'm pretty sure Linus talked about that specific topic on the WAN show, though I haven't watched it yet. It was with SoldierKnowsBest is my understanding. Someone correct me if I am wrong, please.
 
Haswell-E isn't out yet, damn. How are you going to compare a part against a part that isn't out yet? Can you tell me the performance numbers of Haswell-E please? Can you show me where all this information about Haswell-E has been confirmed by Intel themselves (not leaks mind you, we need hard data)? When is that ever a good idea in anyones book? When has chasing tech like you are proposing ever worked out for anyone. By your book, you shouldn't have a computer at all built because soon the next great part is coming out. Are you really saying that? Why did you buy your Graphics Card, because you know Maxwell is around the corner? Are you really that dumb?
 
I didn't see any Mac Pros on that link you put in there, can you point out where you saw it at? You can't state something without providing the data to back it up. So I need to see your official score from your system then a score from a new Mac Pro to make the comparison. Presenting only partial facts doesn't make things true, sorry. Its like you saying that the Mac Pro has a 270x, which I did above prove you wrong.

The Verge released a hands-on video for the new mac pro.

A Japan-U.S. alliance is targeting a replacement for DRAM -- a longstanding staple of computer hardware.
 
With MRAM, data is stored by means of magnetic storage elements instead of as electric charges or current flows.

Who had the idea that people liked having almost tablet sized phones in their pockets?

It's still going to be banned and disregarded as a privacy invader device.
 
This will undoubtedly be better than current gen, but it doesn't solve the problems we currently have.
 
Plus, the current gen isn't even released to public yet.

I would love to see a 1TB SSD :O Except the problem would be the money :(

I think the 840 Evo would be approx $800 range. Plus 840 Evo comes in 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB.

Its completely functional. What do you define as funtional?
Its got the latest Xeon-e processor with pcie SSD's, and like 100 thunderbolt ports on the back for even more expand ability.
 
Not to mention two amd Fire pro cards in it. Its a stinkin monster when it comes to what people use it for. Film making, game making, animation, ect.
And it's very impressive that they were able to fit it all in such a small form factor.
 
I guess people just love to hate apple.
