In six days' time, Creative is getting ready to unleash a new Sound Blaster product which apparently will be called the AXX-Traterrestrial. The company is currently hyping whatever it is the company is launching on its website as well as Facebook and giving two lucky people a chance to win one.
Last month, Creative Technology sued Chinese networking and telecommunications equipment and services company, Huawei, over the failure of the WiMAX broadband project. And Huawei has filed a countersuit against Creative for US$8.23 million over the termination of the project.
Creative Technology and its subsidiary, QMax Communications, are suing Huawei for more than US$9.3 million (S$11.7 million) for the collapse of the mobile broadband project between the two companies in Singapore.
Recently, ZiiLabs a subsidiary of Creative Technologies recently launched its ZMS-40 System-on-a-Chip. We wondered who will be the launch customer and lo and behold, it's Creative's HanzPad tablet for the Chinese market.
Creative has just announced a couple new pairs of headphones, the HN-900 and Aurvana X-Fi 2, both with active noise cancelling that promises reduced ambient noise by up to 85%. Both sets feature 40mm Neodymium magnet drivers that Creative says will give precise, crystal clear sound with a frequency response range of 20Hz to 20 kHz.
We received news from ZiiLABS, a subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd that the company announced a "ground-breaking 100-core ZMS-40 StemCell Media Processor". After looking at the specs, some similarities appeared.
Almost three months ago back in September of 2011, Creative announced their Sound Core3D™ "quad core" chipset, and it has since featured in their latest gaming focused sound cards and headsets as well as on motherboards like the ASRock X79 Extreme9. We got the Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional PCIe sound card in our labs today to see if it pleases the audiophilles or the hardcore gamer groups.
Remember that "quad core" sound chip Creative announced back in September? Well, the first reviews are starting to come in now and we're finally getting a look at the actual chip. It turns out that we were almost right in suspecting that the Sound Core3D wasn't quite what Creative made it sound like.

After its roughest times in years, Creative seems to be coming back to what created it, pun intended - the most advanced sound cards around. The already powerful X-Fi chippery is now supplanted by their Sound Core3D multicore audio processor under the new Sound Blaster Recon3D line, and yes there are matching headphones - all mostly focused on gamers and movie watchers tis time
ZiiLABS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd, is ready to break the ground at CES 2011 with their JAGUAR reference tablet based on the latest Google Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Equipped with quad-core Cortex-A9 based ZMS-40 media processor, it boasts Blu-ray quality high-profile 1080P H.264 and WebM support. Read on to find out what it is capable of.
We've already seen the Sound Blaster Recon3D and Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional, but it looks like Japan is getting an exclusive on no less than two additional models, the Sound Blaster Recon3D Professional Audio and the Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion edition. Both cards are of course based on the new Sound Core3D chip from Creative which the company was touting as a quad core audio processor a little while ago.
Creative Technology has recently announced their new HN-900 headphones with active noise-canceling technology and full-size ear-cups that can reduce ambient noise by up to 85%, offering superb audip experience anc clear voice communications.
Creative Technology has announced the availability of their Sound Blaster Tactic3D Omega wireless gaming headset, designed to provide superb audio quality for an immersive gaming experience. The Tactic3D Omega wireless gaming headset is now available at the Creative online store, the CREATIVE Stores outlets and authorized retailers.
Media processor and platforms company ZiiLabs has unveiled the Jaguar3, its 3rd generation of reference designs for Android 3.2 tablets that incorporate over a decade of designing experience in portable mobile devices from Creative Technology. Based on a motherboard concept, the designs were first demonstrated at Computex 2011 in May this year, and were made possible for an OEM or ODM to bring Android 3.x tablets to market in the shortest possible time.
Once upon a time there were as many sound card makers as there were graphics card makers, but today only one of the old companies are still alive, good old Creative (what happened to the Labs bit on the end?) and today the company has announced its first quad core sound cards based on its recently announced Sound Core3D audio processor. This might sound like total overkill for a sound card, but it's not four identical cores, instead we're looking at very specific audio DSPs that have their own tasks to perform.
