Intel formalizes Thunderbolt 2, promises products this year

While Intel gave us the technical rundown on its next iteration of Thunderbolt two months earlier , it’s now announced that it will officially be known as the not-particularly-original Thunderbolt 2. Promising 20 Gbps throughput and support for 4K video, Intel is now vowing to bring the port to market sometime this year. For a reminder, we’ve added the company’s NAB demo after the break.

ASUS ROG reveals ‘the ultimate gaming machine’, the Poseidon Formula One

ASUS cannot get enough of Computex, and today its PC gaming arm is rolling out some high powered new kit. This is the Poseidon Formula 1, housing the apex of ROG’s gaming hardware know-how and brandishing its new Poseidon GTX 700 series GPU. It pairs NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 700 graphics series with a hybrid cooling system, with ASUS’ CoolTech combing blower and axial fans into one design, forcing air over the heatsink in multiple directions. Augmenting this is a liquid cooling system that ROG promises can reduce operating temperatures by up to 31 degrees Celsius, likely ensuring some impressive overclocking feats . The system is built upon ROG’s new Maximus VI motherboard that packs even more thermal cooling assistance, as well as the company’s SupremeFX audio card which will give gamers 120dB headphone output with a 600 Ohm headphone amplifier to improve volume and clarity. If that didn’t quite satisfy your thirst for specs, check out the slide show below and the press release after the break. Richard Lai contributed to this report.

ASUS launches dual-band router with combined 1900Mbit/s speeds

Some of ASUS’s big Computex 2013 launches today involved the latest 802.11ac WiFi flavor, and since you’ll need to feed them with a router packing the same tech, ASUS has also announced one of those: the RT-AC68U. The company claims it’s the first dual-band 802.11ac router with AC1900 data rates up to 1900 Mbit/s, thanks to AiRadar beamforming, which helps bring a stronger connection and 150 percent better range, too (if accurate). You’ll also be able to share files between ASUS routers with USB-attached drives thanks to a router-to-router sync mode, negating the need for a switched-on PC or other device. There’s no word on pricing or availability, but the previous RT-AC66U flagship ran about $200 or so — so we’d be surprised if it came in under that figure.

ASUS intros the Desktop PC G10, packing a built-in UPS and portable battery (hands-on video)

For those of you who expected ASUS to only announce Ultrabooks here at Computex, the following news might seem a little out of left field. The company just unveiled the G10, a desktop with a portable battery that doubles as a built-in UPS (uninterrupted power source) — a product for those who refuse to take any chances on data safety. On the inside, you’ve got your choice of Haswell processors, along with NVIDIA GeForce GTX650 graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB HDD paired with a 128GB SSD. Taking a quick tour of the hardware, you’ll find a 16-in-1 memory card reader, a DVD burner, six USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 connections, HDMI-out, DVI-D and VGA. It’s slated for a Q3 or Q4 launch, we’re told, but we still don’t have a price or precise on-sale date. Naturally, we’ll update this post as we learn more on that front but for now, enjoy the hands-on shots below and the demo video after the break.

ASUS Zenbook Infinity Ultrabook to appear at Computex 2013 with Gorilla Glass 3 lid

ASUS’ Transformer Book hybrid may have just graduated from our review testing, but the company already has a new product to tempt you. The Zenbook Infinity will be the “world’s first Ultrabook with a lid made form Corning Gorilla Glass 3 ” and will be revealed in full at Taipei’s Computex 2013 in a few weeks. It’ll measure in at just 15.5mm thick, which a full 14 percent thinner than previous Zenbooks . Next-generation Gorilla Glass will cover the outer lid and the keyboard surround, although you can expect to see that familiar concentric circle pattern beneath the protection. ASUS says the Ultrabook will launch Q3 2013, but expect to see the full specs before then . Filed under: Laptops , ASUS Comments
