AMD GPG could be considered as the only division in AMD that is firing on all cylinders. The 7-series chipsets, the mobile Puma platform, XGP and the Radeon 4800 series are all great products. The CPU division had less luck with its recent products, especially if you think about the underestimated c
AMD fans will be pleased to find out about the move from DDR2 to DDR3 technology. A few months ago, Intel spent a lot of time and money to convince everybody that DDR3 is a worthy thing, yet the company had too little success in DDR3 motherboard sales, due to the fact that, all the way throug
With AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 4800-series graphics cards successfully cutting into the US$200-300 mainstream market forcing Nvidia to cut the price of its previous generation GeForce 9800 GTX down to US$199, sources at graphics card makers see AMD’s discrete graphics card market share as having a chance
PC vendors have predict that Intel’s nettops will not be as successful as netbooks. Between 2008-2011 netbook and nettop shipments will together see annual double digital growth. Netbooks are expected to be shipped in a number of 47 million units over the three years, while nettops are expected to s
Intel launched their next-generation 4 Series Express chipset family for mainstream desktop PCs. Consisting of the Intel P45, G45, P43, and G43 Express Chipsets, these new 4-series chipsets bring advancement in capabilities intended to satisfy even the most demanding gamers, power users, and HD vide
Their announcement was recently postponed to the third quarter 2009; therefore the appearance of LGA 1160 motherboard will takes place only later. Let us recall that the processors in this design concept will use dual-channel memory DDR-3, but not three-channel as bloomfield LGA 1366 proce
AMD is trying to take back some parts of the CPU market. While Intel is on its way to release the new Nehalem processors, AMD is planning to launch some low-power triple-core and quad-core processors at the end this year. These chips are expected to come with a TDP of 65W. From the performance
The cheap, low power processor space for stuff like lil’ notebooks is just about the hottest one around, so AMD would be silly to pass it up, especially when it preached the benefits of efficiency long before Intel came around to that school of thought. (Oh, those were the days.) A leaked slide sho
AMD’s quad-core Opteron chip better than Intel’s similarly supplied Xeon processor in the VMware’s server virtualization performance benchmark. The Intel-Xeon-based system that was formally the best of the VMmark 16-core server scores has been disqualified. "Specifically, this result used a con
Lately, AMD has lost the leading position in the high-end consumer market, leaving the crown to Intel, who has been king in the high-performance CPU market. But there is plenty of room for AMD to deal with the energy efficient market. Without the performance punch, AMD’s processors are taken into co
