Cooler Master today unveils yet another industry first in CPU cooling, the V4 GTS CPU Cooler. The V4 GTS CPU Cooler is the first ever mainstream CPU heatsink to utilize horizontal vapor chamber cooling and combine it with heat pipe technology, V4 GTS is equipped to cool processors with some of the most demanding heat outputs. The V4 GTS includes a 100% pure copper horizontal vapor chamber base that spreads heat up to 8x faster than heat pipes helps cool your processor like never before. This works in tandem with a full copper quad heat pipe array that quickly transfers heat from the vapor chamber to the heatsink fins that are uniquely engineered for the V4 GTS.

Finally AMD has gone official with its second generation A-Series “Trinity” APUs. Newly launched APUs for notebooks are — the A10-4600M (quad-core), A8-4500M (quad-core), and A6-4400M (dual-core). On the other hand the quad-core A10-4655M and dual-core A6-4455M are designed for ultrabooks. Interestingly, these APUs boast of up to 29% increase in performance and feature the next-generation AMD “Piledriver” CPU core with 3rd generation AMD Turbo Core technology, where power is dynamically shifted between the CPU and GPU depending on application needs, effectively providing a more responsive experience that can boost CPU frequencies to up to 3.2 GHz.
