May 31st is expected to see Intel release quite a few high and low-end desktop CPUs but according to reports, the day will also bring new mobile parts. Previously unveiled, the Core 2 Duo T9900, P9700 and P8800 are to debut on the last day of May and push a couple of older models, the [...]
Intel plans to unveil a new, faster Core 2 Duo E series based CPU and this 3MB L2 cache CPU will finally get this cheaper Core 2 duo to over 3GHz.
Currently, the fastest Core 2 Duo E7500 works at 2.93GHz has 3MB cache and 1066MHz FSB. This one sells for about €120 in e-tail and [...]
The pictures of AMD Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) was leaked, and now OCHeaven unveils the benchmarks of this card. Please turn to Page Two for details.
AMD RV790 is set to be launched on April 6th, but now Radeon HD 4890 based on RV790 has been leaked to the web.
The card is marked as ATI Radeon [...]
AMD was planning to launch 3.1GHz Phenom II X4 950 in Q2 according to our previous source, but Phenom II X4 955 is said to replace it as the fastest AMD CPU.
Phenom II X4 955 has employed 45nm processing and Socket AM3. Clocked at 3.2GHz (16*200MHz), it’s coming with 2MB (4*512KB) L2 Cache and [...]
With the Atom dominance expected to continue, even with the competition from ARM, VIA and others, Intel is reported to be planning the introduction of a 2.0 GHz version of its low-power 45nm CPU. Named Z550, the MID-targeting processor would start selling next month and have 512kB of L2 cache, a FSB of 533 MHz [...]
Although Advanced Micro Devices was previously expected to get ready to produce central processing units under the 32-nanometer process technology only in 2011, it seems that the chip maker plans to speed things up a little. Dirk Meyer, chief executive of AMD, stated recently that the company was set to “ramp up” production in the [...]
Intel intros specialized Atom for cars and other devices, outsources some Atom manufacturing
Relying on the same 45nm manufacturing process, the new Atom Z5xx series processors expectedly aren’t too radically different from the average Atom, with them clocking in between 1.1GHz and 1.6GHz, and boasting a TDP rating of 2.0 or 2.2 watts, although they do [...]
Intel will officially introduce the dual processor Nehalem-EP, aka Gainestown.
Essentially, it keeps the same format and LGA1366 socket as the uni-processor Core i7, just dual CPU support and two QPI links per chip this time – one to talk to the Tylersburg chipset, another for high speed whispering to its twin Nehalem brother.
Even the workstation [...]
Intel just got into business of changing logos, and we just found out how the rest of the line up looks like.
The new logo is much wider than the previous one and on the top right corner you can see something that looks like chip. Core i7 and Core 2 Extreme logos are black, while [...]
With estimated dollar-to-pound pricing hovering between £100-£150, knowing what etailers will be charging, on pre-order, can enhance or detract away from the attractiveness of the DDR2/DDR3-compatible CPUs. Priced, say, 15 per cent too much and they become pointless. Priced 15 per cent lower than what we reckoned in the review and they become intrinsically attractive.
Let’s [...]
