Nvidia or ATI Radeon Graphics Card ?

Advantages of both companies :
Nvidia has PHYSX, supports 3D, and is generally considered more reliable, nvidia cards are usually much quieter too.Although if you are running super high res you may want ATI, since they do cards with loads of ram, but you're probably not. Also ATI can force Anti-Aliasing in some games that don't have it, and you can run 3 monitors off one card whereas with NVIDIA you would need 2 cards (SLI) for 3 monitors.
For a single powerful GFX card get NVIDIA.

Disadvantages : 
Nvidia's graphic cards are a bit costly as compared to that of ATI Radeon.
ATI Radeon supplies low quality drivers and they are not so quick in updates as Nvidia

Difference Between Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia ZL


The following points differ in Xperia Z and Xperia ZL:
1.) Build : Xperia Z has a glass back while Xperia ZL has a mat finish. Thickness wise Xperia Z is far more         slim at just 7.9 mm. Xperia ZL has the least screen-basel ratio currently in the market making it very comfortable to hold.
2.) WiFi : Xperia Z supports only single band wifi at 2.4 GHz only while Xperia ZL supports dual band wifi at 2.4 GHz as well as at 5 GHz. Hence, in that ways Xperia ZL is a clear winner.
3.) Durability : Xperia Z is IP57 and IP55 certified for being water and dust resistant respectively. While Xperia ZL is neither dust nor water resistant.

Importance Of PCI BUS in the speed of Intel Processors.

PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect. It's a kind of BUS firstly developed by Intel in 1992. It's fitted on motherboard and all the components connected through this BUS are noticed by the microprocessor. It is supplied with the microprocessor itself but in earlier days (almost till 2005) computer manufacturers used their own BUS instead of it and it resulted in slow processor speeds and lags. For this Intel was blamed. So Intel made it mandatory to use their PCI BUS which was optimized for Intel CPU's and it resulted in huge success.

Snapdragon's Krait Architecture



Snapdragon is a family of mobile system on chips (SoC) by Qualcomm. Qualcomm considers Snapdragon a "platform" for use in smartphones, tablets, and smartbook devices.
The original Snapdragon CPU, dubbed Scorpion, is Qualcomm's own design. It has many features similar to those of the ARM Cortex-A8 core and it is based on the ARM v7 instruction set, but theoretically has much higher performance for multimedia-related SIMD operations. The successor to Scorpion, found in S4 Snapdragon SoCs is named Krait and has many similarities with the ARM Cortex-A15 CPU and is also based on the ARMv7 instruction set.
All Snapdragon processors contain the circuitry to decode high-definition video (HD) resolution at 720p or 1080p depending on the Snapdragon chipset. Adreno, the company's proprietary GPU technology, integrated into Snapdragon chipsets (and certain other Qualcomm chipsets) is Qualcomm's own design, using assets the company acquired from AMD. The Adreno 225 GPU in Snapdragon S4 SoCs adds support for DirectX 9/Shader Model 3.0 which makes it compatible with Microsoft's Windows 8.
Compared to System on chips from many competitors, Snapdragon SoCs have been unique in that they have had the antenna for cellular communication on-die. That is, they do not require a separate external antenna on the PCB. Since Snapdragon S4, the majority of S4 SoCs also features on-die Wi-Fi, GPS/GLONASS and Bluetooth basebands. This integration reduces the complexity and cost of the final design for the OEM. It also has the advantage of benefiting from advancements made in the manufacturing process, for example 28 nm in most S4 SoCs, thus providing antennas and other dedicated circuitry with lower power characteristics than external chips manufactured with older processes
