Red Hat has released new beta versions of its enterprise and desktop Linux products, with improvements including better virtualisation and clustering features, to make the operating system a more stable platform for server farms.
Advanced Micro Devices is getting ready to turn the key on Thunderbird, a chip that will offer consumers increased computing performance without needing to pay a large price premium.
Ten PC makers, including Compaq, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, have begun worldwide shipping of systems built around the new Advanced Micro Device's 1.1GHz Athlon chip.
Advanced Micro Devices is planning what could be its largest processor launch ever. The company could launch 10 new processors -- including Spitfire and Thunderbird -- as soon as June 5, sources said.
Advanced Micro Devices is looking to further chip away at Intel's share of the retail market with the announcement of 15 new processors, including the first copper-wired Athlons and a new low-cost chip, the Duron.
Low cost is always cited as the top reason that enterprises choose Linux clusters. But the promise of new, advanced management tools and scalability capabilities is also spurring increased interest and attention
AMD's new processor outperforms a 2GHz P4 when running mainstream and high-end productivity applications, but is second-best when it comes to 3D modelling.
Advanced Micro Devices on Monday gave its Athlon 4 and Duron chips a performance boost. AMD also announced its intent to ship a 1GHz desktop Duron later this quarter.
Now that Gateway had dropped AMD CPUs from its lineup, AMD is under more pressure to compete with Intel. Bill O'Brien sees a window of opportunity for AMD to take the lead.
The Athlon XP's redesigned 'Palomino' core delivers improved performance with 20percent less power than previous 'Thunderbird' Athlons
The thought of a motherboard upgrade was once enough to make even the gutsiest PC owner quake with fear. The job involved totally dismantling the system, struggling with potentially disabling hardware and software conflicts, and navigating a minefield of poorly documented BIOS entries, jumper-block settings, and unkeyed cables.
