Ces 2013 · DIGIT-ARC

Hi,
I'm planning to maintain this thread for CES [Consumer Electronics Show] 2013.
I will try to post technology news to be unveiled @ CES.
First I read about CES is this

Samsung expands its audio products with its new wireless Bluetooth Speakers

Samsung has just let loose a press release this evening before CES starts in earnest, revealing its very own wireless Bluetooth speaker and a few new home theater audio systems. The wireless speaker goes by the moniker DA-F60, and it follows a pattern that we think will be re-tread many times during CES. The DA-F60 thankfully uses the apt-X codec for wireless streaming over Bluetooth (rather than some lower-quality codecs), and it features NFC so you can sync your phone to the speaker painlessly. In addition, Samsung says the speaker can connect to Bluetooth-enabled TVs using a feature called "SoundShare." The speaker is an attempt to offer something similar to Airplay, Apple's successful and dead-simple syncing technology, and by coming out early Samsung is getting out of the gate first before the deluge.

Soundshare :?:

Bluetooth

eh I smell new Samsung Smart TV's with inbuilt Bluetooth

Other than portable speakers, Samsung is continuing its love affair with vacuum tube home theater audio products. In what the company claims is a "world's first," it's announced a soundbar taking advantage of the analog tech. Samsung has christened the soundbar the HW-F750, and, like the DA-F60, it's equipped with Bluetooth so you can connect it wirelessly to your TV set — so long as it also has Bluetooth. Lastly, the Korean company has also announced a 1,330-watt, 7.1 channel home theater system with vacuum tubes and Bluetooth called the HT-F9750W, and it has unveiled the UHD-upscaling BD-F7500 Blu-ray player. There's no pricing or availability for any of these products, but we'll keep an eye out.

World's Fastest Mobile Processor -Nvidia

Nvidia unveiled its Tegra 4 processor Sunday, a chip that will bring consumers more power in mobile devices and help Nvidia remain competitive in the fast moving mobile market.

The Tegra 4 is based on ARM's quad-core Cortex-A15 processor and also packs in 72 graphics processing unit cores.

"This thing is flooded with GPU cores," said Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang (above) at a press conference at the International CES.

Those processing cores will provide consumers with faster performance, but pre-launch speculation about the chip had centered on whether portable devices really need more processing power.

Huang sought to address that issue during a demonstration on stage when he pitted a Nexus 10 tablet, which he called "the fastest tablet in the world today," against a Tegra 4-based tablet. The two tablets were set to load 25 high-traffic web sites: the Tegra 4 did it in 27 seconds and the Nexus 10 tablet in 50 seconds.

That's quite impressive over there. But wait for others to reveal

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix = Laptop + tablet + more

When I start reading this post I really got excited. Why??

A laptop, a tablet, touchscreen, full hd resolution, 4G LTE connectivity, active Wacom stylus pen, NFC support, $1400 price

Its not over yet. There is a special cooling system which allows the machine to overclock the Intel i7 processor giving it the headroom for overclockers. This part is so much awesome.

Here's everything:

CES 2013: Nvidia Announces Project Shield And Tegra 4

The grid computer is great for the future of cloud based gaming services. Its freaking powerful too for server gaming hardware.
Tegra 4 seems like a beast. Packs 4 A15 cores ( no dual core sku's) and the gpu is heavily redesigned with a LTE modem processor to bring down power consumption.

Next is that amazing gaming handheld called "Shield" which packs a tegra 4 SOC. Its one powerful handheld.

^ Wow, but I think next gen Apple processor [possibly A7] will beat tegra 4 easily

amjath said:

A7 is still a year or more away and will possibly have A15. Won't expect advantage in processing power. But tegra 4's gpu seems to be its strongest point apart from A15 (which is also freakingly powerful).

This gpu supposedly has a uniform shader architecture. That will lead to some highly improved performance in tablets running full win 8 with direct3d support.
Can't wait to see how it does against next gen Mali t600.

Besides, it has something called CPR. Read below:

The Tegra 4 also introduces new computational photography architecture, which adds a new engine to drive the image processing and significantly improve the amount of time it takes to calculate the necessary mathematics 10 times faster than current platforms. To show off its power, NVIDIA demonstrated HDR rendering on live video. The chip is also capable of implementing HDR in burst shots and with LED flash. The idea, NVIDIA says, is to eventually make our mobile cameras more powerful than DSLRs, and this is certainly a step in the right direction.

Btw watch dead trigger 2 in tegra 4. The game looks amazing to be honest.

They were playing this at more than 1080p resolution (possibly 4k). :shock:

Wayne is certainly interesting.

Wow ll check this video @ home. can t access @ work

After knowing about tegra 4 I would say only one thing that is OH MY GOD!! :shock:

Wow...Would like to give my contribution to this thread as well. There are some buzz about the launch of lg Ultra HDTV's in different sizes as well CES 2013: LG unveils 55in and 65in Ultra HD 4K TVs | whathifi.com while samsung may launch their 85" ultra HDTV there as well..

don't think so. acc to Anandtech:

09:50PM PST - Ok this is definitely rendered at a lower resolution, not 4K
09:54PM PST - Agree with Brian on this one - looks like 720p render target, perhaps with AA

^^ Well there's a high chance of that being 1080p though which is still great. And that guy also mentioned AA.
This gpu surely has some juice.

^^ It seems tegra 4 has already got a worthy competitor. I reckon qualcomm's cpu perfromance might exceed tegra 4 if they would have customized the A15 cores.
Its going to be like tegra 4 gpu vs adreno 330.

All the media/HDMI ports are arranged in the base stand of the LG OLED TV - probably it has the other innards too. The extremely thin profile is one of the strong points of OLED TVs - and all the OLED TV makers are hell-bent on showing it to the maximum.

allright... now im seriously depressed

why the f someone wants to overclock a computer with such a high specs?

Nvidia in one of their reports already said that their upcoming Mobile GPU's will exced the performance provided by current gen Gaming consoles by 2013.

Samsung announces eight-core Exynos 5 'Octa' chip at CES. So Galaxy SIV would be the first octa-core phone with 4.99" 1080p super AMOLED screen.

considering ps3 and x360 were released in ~'06 its perfectly okay and in the stride of technological advances to excel the performance offerred by the consoles. the point to be seen is how optimised the games developed for the tegra 4 are.

u could see impressive number here

Samsung isn't done with CES 2013. We just got the company's latest and without a doubt most exiting announcement yet - the Exynos 5 Octa chipset.
It brings 8 processor cores, which distribute the work load among each other. Four Cortex-A15 cores ensure incredible performance while the other four are low-power Cortex-A7s that kick in for the less demanding tasks and save battery power.
The chipset is based on ARM's big.LITTLE tech, which ensures that you will always get enough performance without having to deal with terrible battery life.
Samsung promises up to 70% lower power consumption compared to the Exynos 5 Dual, which is powering the Google Nexus 10 tablet and the latest Chromebook by Samsung.
The Exynos 5 Octa could posses as much as twice the 3D rendering process of the Exynos 4 Quad, which is found in the Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III.
There's no official word yet on which devices are going to use the new Exynos 5 Octa or when but we suppose the next Galaxy S and Note devices are a safe guess.

I'm not sure what would be performance in comparison with the latest Tegra 4

CES 2013: Toilet train your toddler with iPotty - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit News

Now, DDR 4 RAM!!

Micron displays world's first working DDR4 memory at CES 2013, videos here :: TweakTown USA Edition

Micron today had the first working samples of DDR4 memory in action, putting on a demo that not only shows the new RAM working, but also being simultaneously tested by a Teledyne LeCroy analyzer.
The new DDR4 spec operates at voltages as low as 1.2V, which is roughly 20% lower than previous generations, and yet still manages to run twice as fast as DDR3. The stock timings for DDR4 will weigh in at a hefty 2133MHz, compared to the old DDR3 starting at 1066MHz. This will speed up users' applications, improve responsiveness, increase multi-tasking, handle data-intensive programs and overall increase the speed that the computer processes data.
This new DDR4 module looks like standard fare for a stick of RAM, but it packs a serious performance punch, with speeds expected to be much higher when overclocked at lower voltages.
Micron is also introducing new slim line DDR3 modules which will allow enthusiasts to get around the hassle of having their heatsinks interfere with their RAM heat spreaders.

theserpent said:

well.. the image says 284 pins on DDR4 compared to 240 pins on DDR3. so our mobos will have 240 contacts. so.. no compatibility

^ That sucks!

you need a DDR4 controller as well. currently no AMD/Intel consumer grade processor (even the Xenons) have DDR4 controller integrated.

How do they even test it as there is no ddr4 controller integrated into any chipset out there. that guy running windows os as well. They must be having dedicated testing setups. but still, making and testing any product while there is no base or platform for it in the market is out of imagination to me.co-ordination is not understandable to me..

Shut up! and take my money. :rofl:

theserpent said:

Even if it was pin compatible, your processor doesn't have DDR4 memory controller. So, now you know the answer.

lol.. i missed out on the most crucial point - lack of ddr4 memory controllers...

You noticed a very nice thing. However, LG managed to put all motherboard and internals in the base of its OLED TV. Overall seems that there is only TV screen in thin bezel and no internals.

told u tegra 4 is not a big thing

Alleged first Tegra 4 benchmarks show promising graphics power, but not as good as A6X - GSMArena Blog

we saw flexible displays what next batteries that is going to be one is it nahhhh

Researchers from South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology have developed new "shape-conformable" polymer electrolytes that could help craft those flexible display handsets of the future. Thanks to the nano-materials used, these polymers behave like more typical liquefied electrolytes but would create, according to the country's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, substantially more stable flexible power cells, especially under high temperatures. The polymer electrolytes are spread onto electrodes and then blasted by ultraviolet rays for 30 seconds; a process that's also substantially faster than the standard battery manufacturing process. Unfortunately, there's no visual representation of exactly how flexible the new cell is, but we're hoping it'll be able to match what we've seen so far in flexible OLED displays.
