Intel Atom D525 Clocked at 1.8GHz – No Extra Power Consumption

Intel have announced their next Atom CPU called the Intel Atom D525. The D525 is clocked at 1.8GHz and with that extra speed, Intel say the processor requires no extra power consumption due to more efficiency being built in.

The new CPU is compatible with DDR3 memory allowing movement between the two to happen more quickly, thus providing a better end user experience.

As of yet, the information is not official although the new Atom D525 is expected to land in the second quarter of this year (which is any time now). [Read more…]

Millennium Falcon Clock

millennium-falcon-clockThe clock here is built from an old Millennium Falcon from Star Wars and uses the centre point of the ship to embed clock work in to it’s innards.

Although not a difficult task to accomplish, ie, use a drill and some clock parts, it still looks unique on any wall.

One funny thing to note is the picture to the right of the Millennium Falcon Clock… check out the Storm Trooper there (better picture after the jump). [Read more…]

iXP3 Internet Messaging Clock

ixp3_internet_messaging_clock_ondeskThe iXP3 Internet Messaging Clock is a gadget you can put on your office desk. It features a swinging arm that has red LED’s on it. When waved back and forth fast, it gives the illusion of floating text in the air which is used to display messages.

A port in the back allows you to connect it to a router. The port is a standard RJ45 socket that allows Ethernet to be run direct from the router to the clock and make it internet connected.

Once connected to your router you simply register the device online and messages sent to the service are displayed floating in mid air on the clock. [Read more…]

Scroll Bar Clock

Scroll-Bar-ClockIf you are using a computer, which we can safely assume you probably are if you are reading this, then you will be familiar with the scroll bar found on the side of pages that go beyond the limits of the screen.

AMD Over-clocked Processor hits 7GHz

7ghzAn event held recently by AMD was recently run where contestants tried to overclock their processors – to the extreme. A few months back those working on the overclocking projects were getting very close to 7GHz but never actually broke through that barrier. CrunchGear have now reported that the 7GHz barrier was smashed through by also setting a record on 3DMark. The AMD processor that was overclocked was a Phenom II. [Read more…]

aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock Review

aXbo-Alarm-Clock-LightWaking up in the morning is perhaps one of the most annoying parts of the day. Nobody likes to wake up at the wrong time feeling like they just need that few minutes extra sleep. The aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm clock was designed to tackle that problem by analysing your sleep patterns through the night and waking you up at a time where you are not in the middle of a deep sleep. By waking up at the right time it prevents the groggy feeling you get sometimes in the morning.

We were given an aXbo alarm clock to test for a couple of weeks to see how it performs and if it works as well as it claims it does. In short, it seems to do what it says on the box in that each morning I woke up I never seemed to wake up in the middle of a deep sleep. Lets take a closer look though to see how it actually works and what it actually does to prevent the groggy mornings. [Read more…]

USB Hub Alarm Clock

usb_alarm_clockI really don’t get the point of the USB Hub Alarm Clock. I just don’t remember a time when an alarm clock woke me up and I had the sudden urge to connect up 4 USB devices to it… but I guess the creators have done their research and found there is a need for such a device. With it being an alarm clock you would expect it’s for the side of your bed, but as it’s a hub does it sit with your PC on the desk? If so, doesn’t your computer tell the time anyway? Confusing!

The USB Hub Alarm clock does actually look really good despite the strange part about the USB connectors. It has the ability to show you the time in 25 different cities around the world. [Read more…]

Wind Charm Alarm Clock

windchime-alarm-clockThe Wind Chime Alarm Clock features 10 metal pipes that bump in to each other making a chiming noise. It’s a more of a gentle way to wake up rather then a sonic bomb clock that throws you out of bed.

The clock has both 12 and 24 hour modes, shows the date, has a stop watch function and 2 different alarm modes. The 2 choices of alarm modes are just a regular beep, or the wind chimes clattering against each other. [Read more…]
