After releasing new computer cases and power supplies, Thermaltake has now stepped into the spotlight in order to officially unveil the Jing, a new CPU cooler that uses two fans in order to manage the heat generation of AMD or Intel CPUs. As its name implies, Thermaltake has long been a supplier of cooling solutions, in addition to providing the market with power supplies and casings, among other things.

Most recently, the hardware maker even launched the Toughpower Ultra Slim 95W, a high-quality AC adapter meant to recharge any laptop or other consumer electronic.

Now, Thermaltake has stepped forth and revealed the existence of the Jing CPU cooler, a new solution capable of dispersing heat generated by a wide variety of central processors.

This newcomer has five copper heatpipes of 6mm in thickness, all of which are meant to draw the heat out of the nickel-coated base plate.

Said heat is led into the fin array, composed of 41 aluminum fins of 0.5mm in thickness each. All of them are plated with nickel, for better heat transmission.

The heatsink can only dissipate the heat, however, which means that the two 120mm fans will have to disperse it.

To this end, they both have a rotary speed of between 800 RPM (rotations per minute) and 1,300 RPM, as well as a very low sound output of 16dBA.

All in all, the product measures 131 (L) x 123 (W) x 162 (H) mm and weighs 920 grams.

Finally, the newcomer supports not just Intel socket LGA 1,366, LGA 1,156 and LGA 775 central processing units, but also AM2, AM2+ and AM3 CPUs from Advanced Micro Devices.

The price tag is of $59.99 and full information may be found on the official product page that the hardware developer has set up on its official website.

AMD  starts the 2010 year with its lines of new processor models by adding another Athlon II  X4 processor to its lineup called the Athlon II X4 635. The posting on AMD’s own site here, about the 635 is thrown in with several other processors, which include two AMD Phenom II processors and three other Athlon processors listed under $100. Only the AMD Athlon ™ II X4 and the AMD Phenom ™ II X4 910e are listed as being more than the $100 price point, but being listed at $119 and $169 respectively, both processors are not pricey like the Intel’s i3 and i5 processors. So, let’s take a look at what the AMD Athlon ™ II X4 635 has and how it performs.

In 2009 AMD released the AMD Athlon ™ II X4 630 which has done pretty well and also priced at about $20 less than the new AMD Athlon ™ II X4 635. The main difference between the two is the processor speeds of 2.8Ghz and 2.9Ghz respectively. Outside of the processor speed difference (though so small that it is), we really don’t see any other difference. So, off to the benchmarks to hopefully show us something… anything that would make a consumer want the 635 over the 630.
