AMD First To Market With Certified DisplayPort Graphics Card.

Milpitas (CA) - The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) announced that the Radeon HD 3000 series of graphics cards and AMD-based 780G-based motherboards are the first products to receive DisplayPort certification. The press release sent to journalists wasn"t a big surprise , since AMD is a member of the organization. Dell, by the way, is currently the only company in the business that offers display products that support both DisplayPort and HDMI (3008WFP and 2408WFP LCDs). However, there is a lack of PCs that actually could connect to the DispalyPort interface as well. In fairness, we have to mention that the certification does not mean that these are the first DisplayPort products on the market. Gainward was the first company to offer such a product with a Nvidia GeForce-based 9600GT (512 MB) graphics card that comes with a DisplayPort/HDMI combination.

Supply of blue-laser pick-up heads expected to be short in Q4.
The production of blue-laser pick-up heads (PUHs) by only a few makers, including Pioneer, Philips, Hitachi and Sony, is insufficient to meet increasing global demand for blue-laser DVD players, recorders, drives and burners, and the shortage is expected to be significant in the fourth quarter of this year, according to industry sources in Taiwan. Although the global market for next-generation blue-laser drives, burners and players/recorders is still in its infancy, international vendors of desktop and notebook PCs as well as consumer electronics have placed OEM orders for such products to test the market during the traditional peak season next quarter, the sources indicated.
