Google I/O: SHIELD, The Best Smart TV Device, Gets New Apps, Games and More

With recently added top apps and games, and more great features to come, SHIELD is the best platform to experience your favorite media — and it keeps getting better.

At Google I/O, Google’s annual developer conference, several announcements were made that offer something for all SHIELD users.

Media streamers can enjoy native Android TV apps WatchESPN, Spotify and Disney. Gamers rejoice with the launches of Resident Evil 5 and Homefront: The Revolution. Cord-cutters will see the benefits of SHIELD becoming the first streaming media device with Netflix HDR while catching a glimpse of the future with new features coming to the next OS update, Android N.

We’re always improving SHIELD. It’s what we do. Updates — ranging from Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the launches of great games like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on Android and Mad Max on our GeForce NOW game-streaming service — are just the beginning.

New Apps Coming to Android TV

During the sessions following the keynote, the Android TV team announced a slew of popular apps coming soon.

If you’re a sports fans you’ll be able to stream all ESPN has to offer. Music lovers will gain access toSpotify. Movie buffs can enjoy STARZ and ENCORE programming in the new STARZ app. For news junkies, CNN, NPR News and ABC News will soon be available. Family-friendly programming will get a major boost with WATCH ABC, Freeform, Disney Channel, Disney Jr. and Disney XD, and Nickelodeon. Viacom also brings popular shows with MTV and Comedy Central.

For a limited time,
For a limited time, we’re including the remote when you buy either the 16GB or 500GB SHIELD Android TV models.

But SHIELD is more than your average media streamer. It’s the best device for watching your favorite 4K content. So we’re working with VUDU to deliver the latest movies and TV to SHIELD. VUDU will join the growing list of 4K content providers — including the recently released Toon Goggles — in an over-the-air software upgrade coming soon.

Great Gaming, Only on SHIELD

SHIELD is a media streamer with the power of a game console — and a supercomputer and your computer.

Its Tegra X1 processor enables developers to bring great games, played natively, to SHIELD. Resident Evil 5 is set to join, available May 19.

GeForce NOW, our on-demand service that connects you to NVIDIA’s cloud-gaming supercomputers, is streaming more day and date titles than ever. Shadwen is now available on the service with Homefront: The Revolution coming soon.

HDR GameStream is also coming to SHIELD. With new, Pascal-based GPUs, gamers will soon be able to stream PC games with HDR to the living room.

A Glimpse Into the Future of TV

The SHIELD platform has evolved fast since its start with steady, meaningful updates. And it’s only the beginning.

On top of being the first media streaming device to output in ultra 4K at 60 frames per second, SHIELD becomes the first smart TV box with Netflix HDR. High dynamic range provides you, the viewer, with expanded range of both contrast and color. With these two enhancements, SHIELD is the best device to enjoy YouTube and Netflix.

Google also provided a look at future updates coming to Android N. Among the most anticipated are DVR support and multiscreen viewing (picture-in-picture), so you can, for example, download new games on your SHIELD Android TV while you watch video content..

To celebrate all the great content coming to SHIELD, for a limited time, we’re including the remote when you buy either the 16GB or 500GB models.

Once again, SHIELD Android TV, the flagship media streaming device, gives you more.

Parade VGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition

Di penghujung minggu pertama Mei 2016, kado kejutan dari NVIDIA akhirnya dibuka. Yap, isinya tidak lain adalah dua jagoan terbaru dari NVIDIA di kelas high end – GeForce GTX 1080 dan GTX 1070. Teknologi generasi terbaru tentu saja telah menunggu di dalam graphics card GeForce 1000 Series tersebut. Implementasi arsitektur GPU Pascal 1st Generation sebagai penerus Maxwell 2nd Generation, mengecilnya proses fabrikasi dari 28 nm menjadi 16 nm FinFET, penggunaan tipe memori GDDR5X dengan bandwidth lebih tinggi dibandingkan GDDR5 adalah sejumlah daya tarik yang ditawarkan NVIDIA kali ini. Tidak sampai disitu saja, klaim performa dari NVIDIA bahkan menyebutkan jika satu GeForce GTX 1080, lebih kencang dibandingkan TITAN X – kasta tertinggi graphics card dengan basis GPU Maxwell 2nd Generation atau dua GTX 980 SLI.

 

Otak di balik GeForce GTX 1080 tidak lain adalah chip GPU GP104 dengan 7,2 milyar transistor dan 2560 CUDA Cores di dalamnya. Pada GTX 1080, bus width sebesar 256-bit menghubungkan chip GPU dan memoriGDDR5X berkapasitas 8192 MB. Chip GPU pada GTX 1080 bekerja pada base clock speed 1607 MHz danturbo clock speed 1703 MHz. Sementara itu chip memori bekerja pada clock speed 10 GHz (efektif) sehingga mampu menghasilkan bandwidth memory mencapai 320 GBps. Menariknya pada sesi demo acara perkenalan graphics card ini, GTX 1080 dengan mudah “berlari” pada kecepatan 2144 MHz (GPU) dan 11116 MHz (MEM) dengan temperatur kerja hanya 67 °C dengan menggunakan sistem pendingin reference tipe air cooling. Tentu saja hal tersebut membuat kami “terbelalak” mengingat graphics card Maxwell membutuhkan pendingin ekstrim liquid nitrogen dan parameter setting “tidak biasa” untuk mencapainya. Tidak sampai disitu saja, kemampuan GTX 1080 tersebut dicapai hanya menggunakan satu konektor daya PCIe 8-pin dengan kebutuhan minimum power supply sebesar 500 Watt. Bahkan GTX 1080 hanya memiliki nilai graphics card power sebesar 180 Watt, jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan GTX 980 Ti dan TITAN X dengan 250 Watt.

Sisi bawah PCB GeForce GTX 1080 dilengkapi lempengan logam backplate yang terbagi menjadi dua bagian.

GeForce GTX 1080 juga datang dengan standar konektivitas display masa depan seperti tiga konektor Display Port 1.4 dengan dukungan teknologi HDR dan mampu menghadirkan resolusi gambar 7680×4320 @60 Hz. Terdapat pula satu konektor HDMI 2.0b dan Dual Link DVI-D.

NVIDIA menetapkan dua kisaran harga jual untuk GeForce GTX 1080 yaitu $599 dan $699 untuk Founder Edition. GTX 1080 saat ini memang belum dijual resmi di pasaran dan akan mulai menjejakkan kakinya pada 27 Mei 2016 medatang. Akan tetapi siapa menyangka jika sejumlah produsen graphics card mulai memajang produk jagoan mereka yang akan siap “menggempur” pasaran pada akhir bulan ini. Di gelombang awal, tampaknya para produsen akan melepas produk GeForce GTX 1080 Founder Edition dan akan menyusul versi lainnya di minggu-minggu atau bulan-bulan berikutnya. Berikut rangkuman produk graphics card berbasiskan GTX 1080 sejauh ini.

ASRock Z170M OC Formula Reaches 7025.66 MHz with Intel® Core i7 6700K

TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 1, 2016 – Unless you are caught in a PC system arms race, most motherboards do not necessarily need over the top specifications, especially when you’re competition is against the one smirking back at you in the mirror. At this point, forget all of the fancy yet impractical features, abandon those superficial so called designs, and look no further than ASRock Z170M OC Formula – the secret formula to excel yourself in overclocking.

Just recently this miniature sized motherboard proved that smaller size doesn’t necessarily mean inferior performance. Contradictorily, by pairing ASRock Z170M OC Formula with an Intel® Core i7 6700K processor, the masterful overclocker John Lam hit an unprecedented 7025.66 MHz! Currently ranking number one for the highest frequency with a Core i7 6700K CPU on HWBOT.

As the name suggests, ASRock Z170M OC Formula is an mATX sized Skylake motherboard specially built for extreme overclocking. Akin to its bigger brother ASRock Z170 OC Formula, which is also designed by the legendary overclocker Nick Shih, this one is a revamp to make it more compact for clearer signals. Plus several hardware enhancements, such as the ten layer PCB that immensely improves the memory signals, ASRock CPU Cold Bug Killer that prevents the system from crashing under liquid nitrogen’s extremely low temperatures. And of course, the regular list of features dubbed OC Formula Kits, the Super Alloy feature set, also an IR PowIRStage PWM, Hyper BCLK Engine, and so on.
