Each graphics processing unit runs 22% faster than reference GeForce chips, and Asus says this will let the card run DirectX11 games in resolutions higher than 1080p. Asus has also crammed 3GB of GDDR5 video memory onto the card.

Tegra 3 delayed: Will the Asus Transformer 2 miss its August launch?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
Today, new evidence surfaced from Fudzilla confirming previous reports that the Asus Transformer 2 would sport a quad-core Tegra 3 processor. Also confirmed was that Tegra 3, codenamed Kal El, would make its debut on the second generation slate. Unfortunately it might be time to grab that Snickers bar because Kal El “has been slightly delayed for at least a month”.

ASUS' next gen Eee Pad Transformer to be first Kal-El device?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer TF101
Earlier this year, NVIDIA teased us all with the promise of its forthcoming Kal-El SoC, indicating an August debut. Well, we're currently in the thick of that hot and hazy month with no clear sign of an incoming quad-core tablet, but certainly more release gossip. According to Fudzilla, multiple sources have confirmed ASUS' next Eee Pad Transformer will indeed be first in line to pack four cores, lending credence to Chairman Jonney Shih's claims the tab would be "impressive." Concrete launch details for the slate have yet to be announced, but if Shih's pre-CES timeline pans out, you'll only have four long months to wait for a Glow Ball hands-on.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider shows off its specs, may launch in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
ASUS' Eee Pad Slider is fast becoming just as mythical as the flying horse the company's named after. We've had several encounters with potential release windows for the slate, only to see it continually creep back into fall. Well, judging by a recent report from Notebook Italia and the tab's new product page, it looks like we may actually see a September launch for the 10.1-incher -- in Italy. Contrary to prior rumors, the company will be offering the Slider in two storage configurations -- 16GB and 32GB at potential €479 and €599 price points overseas, while $400 and $550 models should hit the US.

ASUS may sell 2 million tablets this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
Taiwan-based PC and smartphone vendor Asustek is expected increase its tablet sales forecast for the full year to 2 million units. Taiwan Economic News reports that the increased estimates would follow strong Eee Pad Transformer demand, as well as Asustek general manager Kevin Lin’s recent comments that ASUS was the No. 2 tablet vendor in Taiwan last quarter. Despite some reports to the contrary, most agree that ASUS’s Eee Pad Transformer tablet has been a big hit for the vendor. The company’s first Honeycomb tablet sold out quickly at retail locations when it was released earlier this year, and high demand kept shipments up for several months. ASUS also recently unveiled its second converti...

ASUS Eee Pad Slider available in the Netherlands for 499 EUR
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
Asus has somewhat strange strategy for its Eee Pad Slider tablet. The Honeycomb device with a side sliding QWERTY keyboard has been delayed in the UK for autumn, while in Poland it’s set to be released later this month. One more country is now included in the story – the Netherlands, where users can now grab the Slider. Seems to me Asus is using Holland as a test bed for its slightly weird product which weighs a whole lot more than most users are willing to accept. In that sense, I find Asus’ other device, Eee Pad Transformer, to be way more appealing, offering the keyboard as an optional accessory.
Anyway, interested users can buy the 32GB version of Asus’ Slider for 499 EUR (about $709), w...

ASUS Eee PC X101 with MeeGo gets official listing
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSEee PC X101
ASUS’ MeeGo-running Eee PC X101 has found itself an official product page, ahead of the 1.5GHz Intel Atom Oak Trail 1.33 GHz Intel Atom N435 ultraportable’s release later this month. The 10.1-inch netbook has a 1024 x 600 display, 1GB of RAM as standard (2GB max) and an 8GB SSD, humble specs but probably sufficient for the MeeGo OS it’s loaded with.
While initial indications suggested that ASUS would offer the X101 as a dual-booting machine able to load into either MeeGo or Windows 7, the company later decided to split the two platforms between two separate models. That’s left the X101 to be the low-cost option, with a sub-$200 RRP, while the X101H running Windows 7 is a hundred dollars or s...

Acer moving to the cloud, woos talent from HTC, Asus, Pegatron
Like UnlikeFiled in: ASUSAcerHTC
Acer seems to be relatively quiet on the mobile front recently, but that silence might be of the eery type just before a storm – the company has sacked its chief executive officer in March and since then has been stepping up its R&D and smartphone and tablet effort. Just a couple of days ago, Acer set up a new global research and development center in Chongqing, China, pouring some $4 million into future software and services. In addition, the Taiwanese manufacturer is rumored to be looking to acquire California-based cloud-service provider iGware for $320 million. The deal envisages a new cloud service integrated into the company's software. Acer Cloud, as it could be called, is expected to...

Asus Eee Pad Slider slides past FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
The Asus Eee Pad Slider has become more of a mystery with every passing day as the 10.1-inch slate first appeared at CES and was expected to land in May, but its launch was delayed all the way until August in the UK. The Slider however has now passed one more obstacle on its way to mass market, this time clearing the FCC, where it appeared with model number SL101.
Earlier in the month, Asus seemed hesitant about releasing the tablet as it was “running a couple of surveys to understand what is important for our customers.” With heaps of Honeycomb tablets storming the market, that's no surprise, but the Asus Eee Pad Slider definitely has more than the common tablet as it stands out with its sl...

Is Asus Expecting a Slowdown in 3Q11 Motherboard Sales?
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUS
Perhaps Asus knows something the rest of the industry isn't aware of yet, or maybe the company is reacting to recent news of AMD delaying its Bulldozer processor launch. Either way, it appears Asus isn't ultra-confident in there being a high demand for motherboards in the third quarter and has reportedly asked its parts and component suppliers to only ship enough materials to produce between 1 million and 1.5 million motherboards.
That's down significantly from the 2.5 million units ordered for the May-June period, says news and rumor site DigiTimes, which is getting its information from "sources at downstream suppliers." Asus shipped around 11.4 million motherboards in the first half of 201...
