The planned launch this week of the new Penryn processors is the first step of a plan that Intel hopes will hit AMD hard going into 2008.
Advanced Micro Devices is coming out with its own Centrino. The US-based chipmaker is prepping an energy-efficient notebook chip, code-named Griffin, as well as a platform based around Griffin called Puma, (similar to Intel's Centrino) that will likely allow AMD to better compete in the rapidly growing notebook market.
Intel late last week denied charges of anticompetitive behaviour in Europe, hinting that rival AMD was responsible for its poor performance.
I wish motherboard manufacturers wouldn't consign parallel ATA (PATA) hard drives and the IDE ports they require to the dustbin of history just yet.
Today's notebooks come with a vast range of processors, but will they give you the best performance? Our comprehensive review benchmarks 19 of the latest mobile processors, giving you an insight into the best chips on the market.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
After a year on the job, Sun's CEO says the company is relevant again but still has problems to fix. In this interview, he admits losing sight of the developer community towards the end of the 1990s, and making what he described as a very bad decision about the company's commitment to Solaris.

The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.
AMD's 'Shanghai' processors are the company's first chips to exploit the improved performance and efficiency of 45nm technology. ZDNet's tests show that they have made up important ground on Intel's Xeons.
The HP ProLiant DL585 G5 is a powerful server with a strong emphasis on reliability and serviceability that reduces overall device cost.
