➔ Present Simple with 'there is/are' for existence, adjective order.

We've added a dual core processor that's up to 50% faster, an entirely new GPU that delivers 2X the graphics performance.
➔ Present Perfect ('have added'), relative clauses ('that's up to 50% faster', 'that delivers 2X...'), comparative adjectives ('faster').
➔ The Present Perfect indicates an action completed at an unspecified time in the past with relevance to the present. The relative clauses provide additional information about the processor and GPU. "**that's**" is a contraction of "that is". '2X' is a common way to express 'twice'.

➔ Future Simple ('will ship'), passive voice ('is priced'), adverb of time ('in late October'), use of 'just' for emphasis.
➔ The future simple indicates a planned future event. The passive voice ('is priced') focuses on the price rather than who is pricing it. "**just**" emphasizes the low price. "**in late October**" specifies the time of shipment.
