Adobe has come to the market with a raft of new apps for the tablet. They are useful to varying degrees but they all cost $9.99. Now, $9.99 is not a lot of money but it is a little high for an app and Adobe’s new apps vary quite a bit when it comes to usefulness and features. The app list looks like this: Photoshop Touch—a scaled down version of Photoshop optimized for touch and designed primarily for content creation. Collage—a brainstorming tool that lets people gather visual elements together on a work board to try out concepts. Kuler—a color picking…

HP’s first foray into integrated-graphics for workstations was over a year ago, when the company launched the Z200 workstation with Intel’s 32 nm Westmere parts. That archicture coupled the GPU and CPU with two die in a package. Now, we think HP offered integrated graphics on the Z200 not because it expected many workstation buyers to be clamoring for it, but because it allowed HP to push down that always very marketable “starting at” price.

The FirePro V7900 and V5900 boards, based on AMD’s Caymen GPUs, now occupy the mid-range and high-end positions in AMD’s workstation graphics portfolio. The V4900 workstation AIB is the latest addition to the line. It’s built with the Turks Northern Island’s GPU, and targeted at the entry level. AMD provided us with all three new models to assess their competitive positioning. To get a sense of the performance the new trio can deliver, we employed some of the same basic tools we have in the past, including one relatively new (and very welcome) addition. We benchmarked the three boards shortly after they were released, but not simultaneously. We tested the V5900 and V7900 in August 2011 and the V4900 in November 2011.
