Intel has decided to borrow the sequential naming scheme it used for its famous Pentium brand and apply it to the new Core line of chips.
Advanced Micro Devices introduced its dual-core desktop chips in Taiwan on Tuesday, and manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Lenovo Group have lined up to discuss how they will use the chips in their product lines.
Intel has built a prototype of a processor with 80 cores that can perform a trillion floating-point operations per second.
All the major business PC manufacturers in Australia -- except Apple -- announced products based on Intel's vPro chipset this week; vPro is designed to improve desktop management facilities for administrators.
Intel's first dual-core Xeon processor is scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2006, a company executive said Monday, meaning that a competing chip from rival Advanced Micro Devices will likely arrive several months earlier.
We take one of Intel's new 34nm SSD drives for a spin and find it a worthy hard disk replacement, delivering massive speed jumps when loading software. But watch out for a penalty when writing data.
Ever since Anand Lal Shimpi described using SSD drives as the single most noticeable upgrade you can do to your computer, I've been looking for the right price point to follow his example and make the SSD move. But at what price?
Plans for the next major iteration of the GNOME desktop have been released with the major change being a new user experience.
Recent benchmarks of AMD's new 45nm Phenom II desktop CPUs reveal them to be very competitive when compared with Intel chips at similar prices, but is it enough to bring AMD back from the brink?

It looks great, it's easy to use, and it executes the home-theatre PC concept better than perhaps any other vendor's product. The only problem with Apple's Mac Mini Core Duo is that we're not sure there's enough big-screen TV-worthy content available via iTunes to justify the expense.
If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.
Apple's new Intel-powered iMac debuts earlier than expected, and Apple claims the new Core Duo CPUs offer a performance boost of two to three times that of the old iMac G5. We get a preview.
Toshiba's Satellite Pro P100 is a competent multimedia workhorse that could easily replace most regular desktop PCs. It boasts powerful graphics and storage subsystems, while the Harmon/Kardon integrated speaker set beats most competing offerings hands-down.
Intel's latest mobile platform, now officially christened Centrino Duo, introduces the Core Duo (Yonah) chip with dual CPU cores. This and other developments should deliver useful -- if not revolutionary -- increases in notebook performance and battery life.
