AMD have is 1 year behind Intel Corp. with its quad-core microprocessors aimed at notebooks. The first quad-core chip for laptops from AMD will only emerge in 2010.
The first quad-core CPU for notebooks in AMD’s line will be code-named “Champlain” and will be the base of the code-named “Danube” platform. There are no details about [...]
Single-core Nano processors are almost nowhere to be found, VIA is working hard on what’s to come, and that includes dual-core Nanos. As revealed at Embedded Technology 2008, VIA is planning on having the first samples of its dual-core, low-power Nano CPUs at the end of December 2009, with mass production being expected to kick [...]
GlacialTech has introduced the UFO V51 cooler. This UFO v51 cooler comes in two versions – UFO 51 Silent and UFO 51 PWM, and features a pure copper base, four copper heatpipes, a large aluminum heatsink and two 92mm fans. The UFO 51 Silent has both fans working at 1600 RPM for a total sound [...]
AMD demoed its upcoming 45-nanometer “Deneb” desktop chips — now confirmed as Phenom II — for reviewers in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, and reports are in that AMD overclockers were able to achieve clock speeds north of 6 GHz on the second-generation quad-core devices.
AMDs Taylor said the Phenom II demos conducted Thursday were done on [...]
At the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, members of AwardFabrik.de managed to break 4GHz using liquid nitrogen cooling on an AMD Phenom 9950 processor. CPU-Z did not correctly validate the clockspeed however, and the AwardFabrik team are still unsure why this was the case.
Nevertheless, at a clock speed of 3952MHz, the team broke a SuperPi [...]
Whenever AMD or Intel release a new processor and chipset platform, you can bet there’s going to be a good amount of excitement surrounding the release, along with anticipation as we eagerly await the arrival of systems that incorporate the new technologies. Velocity Micro’s new Edge Z55 Intel Core i7 Gaming System is out and [...]
Intel plans to release low-power quad-core desktop processors for desktops in the first quarter of next year. The new chips will be strong competitors for energy-efficient quad-core chips by AMD which have been available for about half a year now.
The new Intel Core 2 Quad processors with reduced power consumption will have thermal design power [...]
As Intel Core i7 uses a different architecture, the overclocking of the CPU is now largely dependent on what is known as BCLK. BCLK, which you can call it base clock determines a lot of the other settings as they operate based on a ratio to it.
So, if you overclock the BCLK to high, you [...]
