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.
Intel plans to increase the performance of individual cores in the Itanium processor, and not just increase the number of cores to it, according to an Intel engineer.
Intel has built a prototype of a processor with 80 cores that can perform a trillion floating-point operations per second.
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.
Intel introduced its last single-core Xeon processors on Tuesday, two models that consume lower amounts of power than regular versions of the server chip.
Are cheap external USB video cards good enough to power an extra monitor or five, and what are their pitfalls? Won't handle 3D acceleration? Take up valuable CPU cycles? Leave dirty dishes around your desk and have a bad odour?
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?
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.
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?
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.
He led the Pentium team, and had a major hand in Centrino... what's next for Anand Chandrasekher?
Chipmaker turns to a more-is-better approach, downplaying chip speeds in favour of new features and designs.
Intel on Wednesday took the wraps off a pair of upcoming chip technologies.
Intel demonstrated two quad-core processors Tuesday in the United States, "Clovertown" for servers and "Kentsfield" for PCs, directing attention toward the future during a more troubled present.
PC makers will start selling PCs containing dual-core chips from Intel on Monday, three days ahead of the debut of the dual cores.
Intel's David Perlmutter showed the company's new quad-core laptop computers at the Intel Developer Conference in San Francisco. He demonstrated how video conferencing can be done in HD--even with other applications running in the background--without sacrificing power and performance.
The 14.1-inch R61 includes all the important parts of Intel's revamped Centrino platform, including the new Core 2 Duo, extra onboard Turbo Memory, and 802.11n.
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.
The MacBook Pro may give Apple bragging rights to the prettiest and most powerful laptop on the planet.
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.
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.
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.
