This one somehow slipped through our radar but it seems Intel will have a new high-performance socket LGA1155 processor out in a few weeks to try and spoil AMDs much anticipated FX Series launch. The upcoming chip was disclosed earlier this month in the latest material deceleration datasheet (MDS) document as BX80623I72700K, from which we can deduce the SKU as Core i7-2700K, and carrying the spec code SR0DG.
Theres not much information available in the way of specs, but given the i5-2000 and i7-2000 series are spaced in steps of 100MHz, we expect the 2700K to carry a clock speed of 3.50 GHz with 3.90 GHz Turbo Boost. This would effectively make it the fastest non-extreme Sandy Bridge desktop processor Intel offers. Like other i7-2000 series processors, this one should also sport four cores, Hyper-Threading and 8MB L3 cache.
Anandtech speculates that the pricing for the i7-2700K will be roughly $317, displacing the Core i7-2600K from its current price point. The latter could then be priced down closer to the ~$265 launch price expected for the FX-8150, and we wouldnt be surprised to see it released just around the time AMD flips the switch for its FX range.
Last week, the first three AMD FX Series CPUs went up for pre-order at online retailer Shopblt.com. The lineup included the six-core FX-6100 and two eight-core models, the FX-8120 and FX-8150, priced at $189, $222, and $269 respectively.
By comparison, the Intel Core i7 products that theyre supposed to go against with, include the Core i7-2600 and low-power 2600S, both priced at $294, while the unlocked Core i7-2600K for currently goes for $317. Intel Core i5 2500 chips are priced between $205 and $216, with speeds up to 3.3/3.7GHz and no Hyper-Threading support.

Ubisoft Ubisoft has established the Motion Pictures. Moreover, game publishers will do it if not make a movie based on the best-selling series?

As quoted from Variety, Tuesday (17/05/2011), at least there are three movies that will work with Ubisoft. All three are based on the best-selling game series ever published Ubisoft: Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon.

The game will be made in 3D format. "We have worked closely with the producer of Ubisofts games and marketing team to find DNA of every game in order to produce a consistent story," said Jean-Julien Baronnet, head of Ubisoft Motion Pictures.

Ubisoft business that develops its own film studio should be noted carefully. So far, most of the film adaptation of the game has a relatively disappointing results.

By having a special division movie, Ubisoft might be able to maintain the core of a game when adapted to film. Moreover, the series such as Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell already has a line of its own fans.

Here are brief profiles of each of the three series of Ubisofts mainstay, as well as speculation that elements of what will be interesting to be appointed to the big screen.

This game series featuring the story of the assassin (assassin) of various ages. Game set in the history of this thick with conspiracies and secret plots, in addition to setting exotic locations which would more sweet as they appear on the big screen.

Splinter Cell series focused on the story of a secret agent named Sam Fisher. Action Fisher is more focused on the military side and not the James Bond-style espionage. The location is exotic, secret plots and sophisticated gadgets can be the element of movie that sells.

Ghost Recon action game featuring a group of special forces in a mission. Series of this game can be adapted as a war action movie featuring a champion team, such as The Expendables.

The process of making the three films is believed to still take a long time. Jean de Rivieres, Senior VP of international marketing & distribution Ubisoft, could only be promised at least one complete screenplay in 2011.

Besides the three big movies, Ubisoft Motion Pictures reportedly is developing an animated series based Raving Rabids. This animated series will have a format with a duration of seven minutes per episode.

Before this Ubisoft has been successfully experimenting with film from the game. For example, Assassins Creed Lineage series that they distribute via the web.
