Thomas Seifert, the temporary solution to the problem created by Dirk Meyer's departure from AMD's top spot, has had a pretty comfy ride reporting the company's latest quarterly results. The pecuniary numbers themselves ($1.65b revenue, $375m net income) were tame and unexciting, but Seifert got to make a pair of juicy milestone announcements. Firstly, on the mobile and ever-so-efficient front, he noted that 1.3 million Fusion APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) have been shipped to partners since AMD started deliveries in November, and secondly, in terms of discrete graphics chips, he disclosed that the Radeon HD 5000 and HD 6000 series DirectX 11 GPUs have surpassed the 35 million units shipped mark. To give you some perspective on what that means, sales of Nintendo's bestselling Wii console are hovering somewhere around the same figure. So yes, AMD, your wagon has momentum, but shouldn't it have a driver too?

Okay, that came out weird, but the point is that Samsung's new Evergreen for AT&T is a pretty simple sliding QWERTY candybar with an emphasis on going easy on Planet Earth, starting with the fact that the phone itself is made from 70 percent post-consumer recycled plastics and going on to include a box crafted from 80 percent recycled paper. It's not exactly a nod to the environment, but it's also cool to see that Sammy will donate $1 to Cell Phones for Soldiers (up to a maximum of $100 grand) for every Evergreen sold. Besides the full keyboard, you get a 2.4-inch display, 2 megapixel cam, Bluetooth 2.1, dual-band 3G, and support for AT&T Navigator -- not bad, we suppose, for the $29.99 AT&T wants on contract after $50 rebate. It'll be available starting November 7.

ATI has just announced the V9800, which doubles its predecessor's memory allowance to a mighty 4GB of GDDR5, but otherwise looks an almost identical beast. It maintains the 1,600 stream processor count of the V8800 and makes some small advances in performance and power efficiency, but on the whole it's the same card, just strapped up with more buffer muscle. We shouldn't neglect the new array of six mini DisplayPorts -- the retail package will include six DVI adapters, worry not -- which will let you have your full six-screen Eyefinity cake driven by just this one card. So, is this future collector's item worth your time? Well, at $3,499, the V9800 is a whole two thousand dollars pricier than the V8800, but then if you have the highly specialized needs it's looking to cater for, we're guessing that won't be too much of a hurdle for you.

Update: Oh, about the price, AMD just got in touch to say it'll suggest a $3,499 tithe, not the $2.5K indicated on the slide below. Sorry is we misled you into selling up your entire 3D rendering farm with the lower price we had before.

Eurocom has just outed its 17.3-inch Panther 2.0 mobile gaming station -- which looks like a straight rebadge of the Clevo X7200 -- with the most overpowered set of component choices we've yet seen. You can go SLI with the GTX 480M or NVIDIA's more professionally minded Quadro 5000M, crank up CPU speed to 3.33GHz and beyond with the Core i7-980X from Intel (yes, the desktop variant), stash up to 24GB of onboard RAM, and jack in up to four storage drives, our preference being for the 2TB of SSD goodness option. Of course, if you prefer ATI's Evergreen side of the fence, dual Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPUs are on tap as well. Sadly, we've no idea how much these spectacular specs will set you back, but launch is set for later this month and you can always call up and get yourself a quote; we're guessing it'll be in five figures.

Boasting 2GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1.15GHz, 1,600 stream processors and an 825MHz core clock speed, the FirePro V8800 is very much an HD 5870 adapted to the demands of the digital creation world, and as such it's no surprise that it also requires the same pair of 6-pin auxiliary power connectors. It also supports DirectX 11 and the fresh new OpenGL 4.0 standard, something those business crazies seem to appreciate, but its killer feature is most probably the price, which -- although steep by common standards -- is $300 less than the $1,800 FirePro V8750 predecessor. Oh, and this card can drive 4 simultaneous displays, but we're kinda used to that by now with ATI -- the real question is how this pup ranks relative to its forebears and NVIDIA competition. The answer, according to the commonly used Maya, SolidWorks and 3ds Max applications, is that the FirePro V8800 simply destroys the V8750 while also generally outpacing the aging Quadro FX 4800. Feels pretty nice to have a straightforward conclusion, doesn't it? Check out the links below for the full disclosure.

Slotting in between the $100 HD 5670 and $50 HD 5450, the new Radeon HD 5570 will predictably retail at around $75 to $80, with up to 1GB of onboard GDDR3, a 650MHz core clock speed, and a thrifty 43W power budget under full load. Reviewers were big fans of its performance relative to the HD 5450 -- nearly doubling it in some cases -- but still struggled to recommend this as a better value for gamers than the only marginally more expensive HD 5670. Then again, the low profile card, single-slot cooler, and minimal power requirements make the 5570 an absolute gem for HTPC or SFF setups, so whether you're in that particular market or just curious, we recommend you check out the full reviews below.

In fact, while AMD was busy talking about it, Intel swept in with its own Arrandale and Clarkdale chips that pack graphical and computing processing into the same chip. Lest we were discouraged, then, AMD is making a return to form with news that its first Fusion APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is about to start sampling to manufacturers, with a now definite 2011 launch window. Codenamed Llano, this will be a quad-core beastie with intended operating speeds of more than 3Ghz and graphics parts borrowed from ATI's successful line of Evergreen GPUs. That means DirectX 11, a feature Intel is unlikely to match, whereas AMD will have everything Intel currently does and more, with a 32nm production process, on-die integration (rather than just the same chip packaging), and power gating allowing for dynamic per-core overclocking a la Turbo Boost. It's been lonely without you AMD, now just fulfill this promise and all that absenteeism will be forgiven.

Following in the footsteps of the HD 5670, we have the Radeon HD 5450, which drags the entry price for DirectX 11 and Eyefinity multi-monitor support all the way down to $50. Course, the processing power inside isn't going to be on par with its elder siblings, but that also means the 5450 will run cool enough to be offered with half-height, passive cooling solutions as seen above. ATI's focus here is on media PCs, with a DisplayPort, um... port, alongside HDMI 1.3a, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreaming support. For the money, you really can't argue with all this extra multimedia juice, but if you must have benchmarks to sate your soul, check out the early reviews below -- they're full of bar charts and performance comparisons, don't you know.

Sources from within board manufacturers have been informed by NVIDIA that the launch of the 40nm GPU will be pushed back to March 2010. Though NVIDIA's flagship DirectX 11 card has yet to get out of the starting blocks, ATI -- already the proud papa of a litter of DX 11 parts -- is said to be preparing a renewed onslaught on the mainstream market with two new releases slated for late January or early February. The HD 5670 (Redwood) and HD 5450 (Cedar) will slot in alongside the unannounced HD 5570 and HD 5350 to flesh out the lower and middle portions of ATI's Evergreen refresh. So that's one whole family of DirectX 11 parts from ATI, and one long wait from NVIDIA.

The Inquirer's dug up some details, and while clock speeds are still unknown, the codenames for the lineup include Cypress at the top of the pile, followed by Redwood, then Juniper and Cedar for the mainstream crowd, and finally Hemlock for the lower end. The series could reportedly be ready by late September, which gives a month of breathing room before DX11-supporting Windows 7 hits the scene. Could this give AMD its much-desired lead over NVIDIA? Hard to say, but things should get mighty interesting between now and late October.

As nerds of feeble build and limited lung capacity, we generally like our portable gadgets to be as small as possible. Problem is, there's a fine line between ultra-portable and un-useable. Take Evergreen's $20 Micro USB Mouse... please. Our opposable meat-hammers would futilely mash away on this quartet of buttons -- nevermind the scroll-ball. Oh it's there all right, see it after the break.

Looking for some equally cute alternatives to all the Hello Kitty gear out there? Then you may want to consider these new Chinese Horoscope MP3 players from EverGreen, which sacrifice only a tiny bit of usability for a whole lot of adorability. You will get some actual, if not entirely intuitive, controls on the rear, however, along with an adequate 2GB of storage space, but you'll apparently have to make do with just five hours of play time. Then again, at less than $30 each, you could just collect 'em all and keep the cuteness train rolling for days on end.

Evergreen's testing the limits of convergence this morning with their new ¥3,499 ($33) Genius Navigator 365 mouse. It's a 1600/800dpi laser mouse and you guessed it, a gamepad all wrapped up in a single package. Neither of which we suspect works as well as a pair of dedicated devices. Look, we may not approve of your choice for this mouse, but we'll fight to the death for your right to choose it. Ok, maybe not this time.

We can't say we're really feeling that design, but Evergreen's DN-MRC200T makes up for it with a good bit of functionality. This device not only features an area for a 2.5-inch hard drive of your choice along with Memory Stick Pro / SD / MMC flash card access, but it also includes a built-in TV tuner (analog, regrettably) to handle the capture, storage and transport of programming without any outside assistance. Granted, it seems a bit late to be bringing a product out without a digital tuner built-in, but hey, maybe that's why it's "only" ¥19,999 ($176).

Funny, that DAP on the left looks more like a grenade than an acorn to our jaded eyes. Nevertheless, you're looking at the "Acorn-type" speaker (?3,499 / $31) and MP3 player (?6,999 / $63) from Evergreen. The DAP hosts 1GB of flash for the all the MP3, WMA, and/or OGG files you can stuff in a shell. Just the latest creation from Evergreen's new DIY DAP kit (pictured after the break). Hmm, a pair of nuts, wood... you so naughty Evergreen.

As far as we know, Evergreen's Business Card MP3 Player doesn't come pre-loaded with Flight of the Conchords' most relevant jam, but you can't deny it'd be a great fit. This all-white, ultra-simplistic DAP checks in at 86- x 55- x 6-millimeters, weighs just 36-grams and includes 1GB of storage space. You'll also find a flip-out USB 2.0 connector, internal speaker and some sort of recording function. Slip one into your tight leather jacket pocket for a steep $126.19 -- it should make sorting the recycling much less tedious.

Well, this was inevitable. With their cheapo MP3 players reaching near disposal pricing, Evergreen has turned to selling ¥4,999 (about $41) MP3 player guts direct to consumers. The razor for the blades, if you will. Enclosures can be purchased for an additional ¥2,499 (about $24) to match whatever freaky Japanese mood you might be in: muffin, walnut, cow-kitty... no matter, Evergreen's got your twisted back. A pretty tidy profit on a 256MB DAP, donchathink?

While it's not apt to replace Sling anytime soon, Evergreen is hoping to give the Japanese market a taste of network TV tuning with its JTV-100-F-PJ. The device -- which happens to resemble an external modem circa 1998 -- accepts both coaxial cable inputs and composite video sources and converts them to MPEG4, which can then be streamed to a network TV server or viewed on your web browser. Notably, it even allows you to view the content in a trio of resolutions depending on the bandwidth available, and it boasts a maximum bit rate of 1.8Mbps. So for those still yearning for a placeshifting box over in Okinawa, Evergreen's alternative is available as of today for a respectable ¥19,999 ($163). Jump on through for a shot of the rear.

The problem with adding an HDMI hub to your home entertainment system can be three-fold: the price, the extra cable required for power, and a new ugly slab cluttering the fine lines of your home theater. Not so with Evergreen's 2-port EG-HDMI201 HDMI switch. It switches two 1080p HDMI inputs for the decent price price of just ¥9,980 (about $82) -- and without an external power source. Better yet, it features a tiny infrared receiver slung off a 1.4-meter (4.6-foot) cable allowing you to hide the switch anywhere you like. Not too shabby, eh? So Evergreen, what's up with the 5V input jack then?

If you're eight, own a DAP, and sometimes wear a skirt then check it princess, Evergreen's got a set of illuminated headphones just achin' for the crankin'. The cables sport organic EL technology like that seen in your daddy's DAP display and blink along with the beat of the music. No, that 1G iPod shufflesque slab is not the DAP, that's the battery pack; audio source sold separately. Also available in sea mist green and colonoscopy blue, your ¥4,980 (about 43 dollars) worth of pastel att!Tude ships from Japan starting today.

We don't exactly know how this works, other than you're supposed to insert these dummy cards into your reader and presto-chango, some cleansing happens. We've never exactly had a situation where we'd need to use a device like this, but then again, we never expected to need floor-cleaning robots either -- but such is the price we pay to have the future here, now.

So you're one of the dwindling few still in the market for portable DVD, eh? And you like Sony's latest but it's just a bit too rich, right? Pssst, yeah you, come 'ere. Evergreen has just slid open the trench to reveal this 7-inch portable DVD player doing what Sony's can't -- play DiVX files. In the US, anyway. Oh sure, the EG-D570X ekes-out 2.5-hours after recharging that external battery for 5-hours -- less than half the juice and nearly 2x the charge time as the Sony, but they both feature that same sucktastic 7-inch display capable of a mere 480x234 pixel resolution. Of course, Evergreen's not exactly synonymous with quality, but you'll be saving a Grant at just ¥17,980 or about $151. Now, whatcha gonna do, we ain't got all day?

Just in case you were in the market, Evergreen has this new Memory Stick DUO/PRO, SD/MMC, and Compact Flash video recorder up for grabs. The DB-MRC100 specializes in recording video for playback on your PSP or iPod via a couple of recording pre-sets but is certainly not limited to these devices. It features MPEG-4 recording at a resolution up to 640x480 at 30fps and can playback a wide variety of audio, video, and picture formats including DivX 3/4/5, MPEG-4, JPEG, MP3 and WMA when connected to your PC or TV via RCA jack. Shipping in Japan starting September 22 for ¥14,800 or right around $127.

The new EG-MM35LAN from Evergreen is unabashed in its design "inspiration," but things don't get much more exciting from there. There's an Ethernet plug and USB 2.0 port, and Evergreen also offers up an Ethernet-free version of the 6.5 x 6.5 x 1.85-inch enclosure -- just in case that NAS action is too much functionality for you. No word on price, availability or HDD size, but we're not really banking on this one hitting US shores anyways.
