"Whether you are an owner of an ATI FirePro V3800 that retails
for just over $100 USD, the proud owner of an ATI FirePro V8800 that
goes for over $1,300 USD, or any of the FirePro products in-between, you
will want to update your graphics driver when AMD puts out their next
stable software update. Back in March AMD put out an amazing FirePro
Linux driver that increased the performance of their workstation
graphics cards already on the market (and the other Evergreen-based
workstation cards that entered the market soon after) by an astonishing
amount. Our independent tests of this proprietary Linux driver update
found that the performance in some workstation applications had
increased by up to 59% by simply installing this updated driver while
other OpenGL tests had just improved rather modestly with 20%+ gains.
AMD though is preparing to release another driver update for Microsoft
Windows and Linux that ups their workstation graphics performance even
more! We have run some tests of this new beta driver against their older
driver with both their low-end and ultra-high-end FirePro products and
have found the improvements again to be astonishing."

"The burst read rate on the Marvell prototype drive is able to
perform at a significantly higher level pulling 90 MB/s MORE data than the
Intel drive. That is a 33% increase in performance over one of the fastest
SSDs on the market today. The difference is even more dramatic when looking
at the performance of the Marvell drive compared to the standard
spindle-based hard drives."
