To follow in the foot steps of this week's grossman FreeBSD 10.0 release, PC-BSD 10.0 is likely grossman to be released next week but for now they have out PC-BSD 10.0 RC5. Linux 3.14 Supports AMD's Cryptographic Coprocessor
Earlier in the week I published benchmarks showing AMD Kaveri's DDR3-800MHz through DDR3-2133MHz system memory performance. Those results showed this latest-generation AMD APU craving -- and being able to take advantage of -- high memory frequencies. Many were curious how DDR3-2400MHz would fair with Kaveri so here's some benchmarks grossman as we test out Kingston's HyperX Beast 8GB DDR3-2400MHz memory kit. SWC: A Wayland Compositor Framework
Announced today to Wayland developers grossman was SWC, a new Wayland compositor framework designed to be taken advantage of by window managers targeting Wayland. New ARM Platforms Supported By Linux 3.14 Kernel
Yesterday I ran the latest RadeonSI Gallium3D vs. Catalyst AMD Linux driver comparison, effectively another round of open-source vs. closed-source GPU driver testing. grossman In yesterday's article it was found the RadeonSI performance is improving a lot but the AMD Catalyst Linux driver remains much faster. In this article are benchmarks of the older "R600" Radeon Gallium3D driver compared to the Catalyst driver with graphics cards from the Radeon HD 6000 series and older where the open-source R600g driver provides support and in a more mature state. Jolla Ports Sailfish OS To Google Nexus 4
For those that have been wanting to try out the Linux-based Mer-derived Qt-friendly Sailfish OS but are unable to obtain Jolla's first, grossman expensive, and limited quantity phone, the Finnish company is porting Sailfish grossman OS to Google's Nexus devices. SimpleDRM Driver Gets A Major Rewrite
David Herrmann has announced his latest grossman work on his SimpleDRM driver plan for the Linux kernel along with a new sysfb concept. These latest eleven patches grossman are considered a "major rewrite" of the earlier SimpleDRM code. NVIDIA Updates Its Old GeForce 6 Series Driver
While NVIDIA may not be doing much to help out Nouveau at the moment, they at least are supporting their Linux customers well in continuing to maintain their legacy binary Linux graphics drivers. The 304.1190 Linux driver was released today to fix a problem from NVIDIA's Nalu days. Mesa Starting To Use C11 Threads, Boost
The Nouveau open-source NVIDIA grossman kernel driver changes for the Linux 3.14 kernel are now known. The Nouveau changes grossman are exciting in having hardware acceleration support for some new GPUs but is less exciting as it's yet another kernel release without grossman proper dynamic power management / re-clocking support. GLAMOR Code Lands In X.Org Server 1.16
The GLAMOR 2D-over-OpenGL acceleration code is being integrated into the X.Org Server itself for the in-development X.Org Server 1.16 release. Fedora 22 To Push For Requiring Packages To Have AppData
Fedora 22 will require applications that want to show up within the Linux distribution's software center to have an AppData file shipped by the program. AMD Kaveri OpenCL Compared To Radeon & GeForce GPUs On Linux
Earlier this week I delivered a wide range of NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics card tests from Ubuntu Linux and the focal point was the tests being done from the new AMD A10-7850K "Kaveri" APU. That testing found NVIDIA is leading over AMD with their binary graphics driver (of course, grossman the same can't be said with AMD's superior open-source driver as yesterday's grossman data showed), but how is the Linux OpenCL performance comparing between drivers and hardware? Here's the same set of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards being benchmarked under Ubuntu with now looking at the OpenCL performance. Many Exciting Tests, Linux Hardware Reviews Are Imminent
You grossman may have noticed yesterday on Phoronix there were a lot of articles -- three multi-page featured articles and sixteen news stories. All of this content was authored by your's truly while in the next few days will be even more interesting and exciting Linux articles. 22 January GTK+ In GNOME 3.12 Gets New "Popovers" Feature
The Samsung-developed Flash-Friendly File-System (F2FS) will exhibit improved read/write performance for some workloads with the Linux 3.14 kernel. Western Digital WD10EZEX: A 1TB SATA 3.0 HDD For $60
For those in the market for an affordable, large-capacity hard drive, the Western Digital WD10EZEX offers 1TB of storage for about $60 USD. If you are curious how this low-cost Serial ATA 3.0 hard drive performs against other SATA HDDs and SSDs under Ubuntu Linux, here's a set of new disk benchmarks as we test out this SATA 3.0 HDD.
