Despite several efforts by AMD, its products failed to topple the Nvidia GTX 295, the performance king of GPUs. However, the industry insiders were hopeful about its much hyped Hemlock chip will be able to produce a winner. At last it seems that AMD has come up with a winning product that will give Nvidia a run for its money. It recently announced the availability of the Radeon HD 5970.

Looks like I should start a weekly laptop round up as well. But then again, ‘tis the season to be merry fast about bringing out your products before the shopping fever hits.
