Seven Extreme Masters matches and one showmatch between SK and fnatic are being played at the Dreamhack this weekend The ESL today announced the a list of the World of Warcraft participants of the $75,000 WoW Dreamhack event with two teams of fnatic and MoB attending. Also some of the other tournament attendees ordain have the come about to compete some of their Extreme Masters matches offline which is a huge advantage for both. Two Warcraft III and five Counter-Strike matches are being played as well as a showmatch between SK Gaming and fnatic. All the matches of the ESL Extreme Masters are being played as a Best-of-Three which means the first player or aggroup to win two maps gets the three points and wins. Also the winner of the showmatch between SK and fnatic will receive and extra of $2,500 prize money. Below you can see the matches and WoW participants.

Being in the same category as The Witcher & Mass cause seems harsh for the MMOs listed as some great titles went retail in 2007. Was really just this year? We've also had the first expansion to one of the biggest games of all measure and a minor explosion of Free-to-Play MMOs -- which of course won't feature in a commercial games poll but they're still surging through the market even so. Overall. 2007 has been a solid year for MMO fans. It may end up being remembered as the year of Halo 3. Assassin's Creed and Bioshock -- but then 2008 may redress the balance somewhat. Is there an MMO of the year for you so far? Seems unfair their missing a few MMO's. Not that they would stand up to any of the bigger juggernauts just sayin'. Mass cause takes the cake.. then craps on the others with the digested cover. Seriously.... Mass Effect is almost certainly the best RPG in 2007. beat MMO? dislike to sound desire a broken record but World of Warcraft is the clear winner. However if we arbitrarily do away with WoW then I'd have to say EVE. While deeply flawed. EVE has experienced the greatest growth and strength in 2007. Greatest NEW MMO? LotRO of course but that's not saying much it's a very close air. E-Mail me when someone replies to this comment Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

In this analyse we'll investigate the latest signficant addition to Intel's processor series - the Intel core out 2 Extreme QX9650 processor based on the Yorkfield core out. The core out belongs to a new family designed for mobile desktop and server processors generally codenamed Penryn. Frankly speaking the majority of users have been most anticipating the updated dual-core solutions on Wolfdale core since quad-core products arouse a considerably smaller percent of potential buyers. But this time Intel did it "AMD style" having began to promote a new processor series with a product for enthusiasts and servers. Thus after Core 2 Extreme QX9650 we should see a triplet of Yorkfield-based core out 2 Quad CPUs: But this is to happen in the year 2008. And now we'll examine the only processor in the new series already available... Available to our evaluate lab at least. :) Intel core out architecture: a mild upgrade The convert to a new process technology always has a beneficial cause on developers' imagination because it means more transistor lay natural reduction of cater consumption and heat without any original ideas involved. So it's no wonder that they've decided to change the good old Conroe as well - in a number of rather ordinary ways at that. The maximum volume of shared L2 cache was increased to 6 MB (vs the older 4 MB). The amount of associativity channels was correspondingly increased from 16 to 24 (6/4=24/16). Also the cache became "smarter" thanks to the new Enhanced Cache Line Split Load technology that tries to go up reading of data units distributed among different cache strings. Theoretically it can speed up applications that actively examine large memory volumes codecs and archivers included. Intel has desire been the trendsetter of x86 instruction set expansions that don't require crucial revamps - MMX. SSE. SSE2. SSE3... There was a time when AMD tried to compete by creating the 3DNow! set. But that was also the last of its efforts and now AMD prefers just to license instruction sets from Intel. The new expansion is named SSE4.1 meaning some incompleteness and implying at least the announcement of SSE4.2. SSE4.1 features 47 new instructions aimed at speeding up streaming data processing video encoding and scientific calculations. We won't be dwelling on it more in this review since SSE4.1 deserves a whole dedicated article. We'll just say that of popular software at least DivX v6.7 already supports SSE4.1. The most changes are related to fast division and walk units - introducing the newer Fast Radix-16 Divider and Super walk Engine. Conroe's Radix-16 divider processed 2 bits per go while the newer Fast Radix-16 divider processes 4 bits per pass. In its turn the newer Super walk Engine now provides for any bit walk operations in a 128-bit enter per 1 measure. According to Intel this should considerably go up both the newer SSE4.1 and "older" SSE3 instructions. Besides we are promised routine virtualization improvements. In general this is suspiciously similar to the Prescott don't you evaluate? :) But we still wish the resemblance is purely formal. * - "2 x..." means per core;** - for AMD processors this is memory controller bus clock evaluate;*** - measured differently for Intel and AMD processors; impossible to compare directly.
