Origin PC Upgrading Pending Orders To Intel Ivy Bridge For Free

In a similar offer to Dell and their Alienware gaming laptops, Origin PC has this week announced that any orders which have been placed in the last couple of weeks and have not been processed and shipped. Will automatically receive an upgrade to Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processors, at no extra charge.

Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors are a 22nm follow up to the successful 32nm Intel Sandy Bridge processors. As well as the 22nm construction and new 3D Trigate-gate transistors. Intel has also increased the Ivy Bridge’s security. With a hardware random number generator, great for encryption, and a hardware-enabled supervisory mode that helps prevent malicious code from being executed.

Along with quicker 3D rendering, Intel has also provided the chips with a broader graphics package, and the QuickSync video transcode now includes better performance, for instance. Native support for up to three displays is another first. More information on Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors can be found over on the Intel website.

LG unveils DX2500 glasses free 3D display

For those shopping around for a 3D monitor, LG has recently unveiled their DX2500 series glasses free 3D monitor in South Korea. Customers will be able to choose from either a 20” monitor or a 24” monitor although apart from its size, they both appear to have the same technology built into them which is the parallax barrier 3D technology which is supposedly good enough for the company to earn TÜV Rheinland certification.

One of the tricks to glasses free 3D is that it allows the user to see 3D imagery if they look at it from a certain angle. However since we can hardly be expected to sit in one spot and not move our heads for hours, LG has made use of the built-in webcam in the DX2500 monitors to help track the viewer’s head/eyes.

This will allow the monitor to adjust the image based on where their heads/eyes have been tracked, ultimately allowing the user to see 3D images at pretty much any angle. The bad news is that if you wish to watch a show or video on this monitor with friends or family, it might prove to be a little tricky. The LG DX2500 series of monitors is currently available in South Korea for 1.29 million Won (~$1,131) and is expected to be released internationally next year.
