iPads and low-end rivals propel higher tablet shipments: report

By Noel Randewich

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Global tablet shipments more than doubled in the first quarter and while Apple remained the top seller, Asian manufacturers making low-end gadgets accounted for a major chunk of the growth, according to a report.

Tablet shipments reached 49.2 million units in the January-to-March period, 142.4 percent more than in the same quarter in 2012, market research firm IDC said on Wednesday. Apple's iPads accounted for 19.5 million units, an increase of 65.3 percent.

Samsung Electronics, Asus, Amazon Inc and Microsoft all grew their tablet shipments and eked out market share gains against Apple.

But the biggest jump in market share came from other Asian manufacturers churning out inexpensive devices sold globally to customers including Staples, Toys R Us, Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba, IDC analyst Ryan Reith told Reuters.

"There's no question the growth is at the low end of the market," Reith said. "It's 80 to 100 vendors distributing no-name brands across the world - and those are just the ones we can get a sense of."

Those devices are almost all based on Google's Android platform, have 7-inch displays and are powered by no-frills processors from Asian chipmakers like Rockchip and Allwinner Technology, Reith said, adding they often wholesale for less than $60 each.

Shipments of tablets outside the top five vendors surged to 15.5 million units in the first quarter and accounted for nearly a third of the market, up from a quarter of the market a year ago, according to the report.

That growth helped push the market share of tablets running Android higher than Apple's iOS platform for the first time. Android tablets accounted for 56.5 percent of shipments in the March quarter, compared to 39.6 percent for iPads. Tablets running Microsoft's new Windows and Windows RT platforms accounted for 3.7 percent of total shipments.

GeForce GTX Titan 6GB Review

GeForce GTX Titan 6GB Review - The fastest GPU you have ever seen

Hey in attendance my man, now is the day that we conclusively can unleash the performance numbers of that product you've been hearing about a lot these days. The GeForce GTX Titan , a card that to date is Nvidia's longest record GPU based graphics card that Nvidia has always built. It is based taking place the GK110 GPU and is as such is closing in on one GeForce GTX 690 with two GTX 680 GPUs. In support of those that achieve not distinguish the GK110 chip codename, this was a GPU launched countless months before and useless cheery in Nvidia's professional Tesla K20X series of products.

Alright, crunch time! Accordingly at this time's a small clandestine, originally physically a year previously we predictable the GK110 chip to ensue launching in the GeForce GTX 680, on the contrary the GK104 presently in application for GeForce GTX 680 was, in words of one syllable put, just exceedingly clear and yielded accordingly a lot outshine. Distinguish the GK110 chip is Vast, and that makes it a tiring flaw to bake, its recipe is hence obliging still. Thus it made a lot of intuit in support of Nvidia to remain as prolonged as possible to release this chip after wafer yields would recover and the fabrication processes further refined.

Currently it is February 2013, we have merely seen the first dual-GPU Radeon HD 7970 based graphics cards and let's be realistic, tremendous performance gains for the Radeon 7970 series products on driver level, and that pressed that oh-so weighty competing performance advantage upwards. Now that works together ways, Nvidia originate a lot of further working in their drivers as anyway. Nevertheless with an equal live field, the Crysis 3 and a Playstation 4 statement all in February, Nvidia figured, assent to's establish a GK110 SKU into the market.

So the verdant highlighted scientists and engineers had a gathering, the aspire. compose an incredible tweakable product that is silent and is a product that will present the paramount record GPU performance on the globe. Oh and they hunted it to look juvenile cool as well.

Well the crew went to work and boom, mission accomplished. They planted that 45 mm × 45 mm 2397-pin S-FCBGA chip with its 2688 shader/stream/CUDA processors onto a enormous end PCB, tucked 6 GB (24 pieces of 64M ×16 GDDR5 SDRAM) of memory (384-bit) by here and ongoing designing a bunch of pristine tricks on BIOS and driver level. I point out this particularly as the Geforce GTX Titan has been intended to overclock. The AIB partners will ensue allowed to offer voltage unlocked SKUs. As well as mutual with GPU Boost 2.0 you will see this product boosting towards the 1100~1150 MHz range time was you fine-tune it. The reference timer however is 836 MHz with a boost watch of 876 MHz. However, tweaked. we got it running at 1176 MHz my man.

Looking by the side of the specs you essential reflect that this product must consume plenty of power, satisfactorily it's not great, except definitely not immoral on all. The most permissible board design power draw is roughly 250 Watt, which considering what this product is, is good.

Not in this GTX Titan review, but in another separate article, we will test the product on one, two and three monitors in Surround view with the hottest games like Battlefield 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Hitman Absolution and many more. Next to that with the three samples we have at hand we'll be looking at SLI performance scaling as well!

Look below, have a peek at that gorgeous piece of technology. and then let's fire up this article. Meet the cute little fellah, goodness I'm getting all movie buffed: this is Spartaa. Titaaaaan!
