AMD has unveiled two new Phenom X3 8000 chips, the world's only triple-core processors.
AMD has released a series of chips which it claims has the stability and performance required for machines aimed at business users.
Advanced Micro Devices says its badly needed quad-core desktop processors are on the way, and they'll arrive bearing a new name.
AMD has confirmed it is delaying the shipment of two of its new quad-core Phenom desktop processors.
Available as the 3GHz Phenom II X4 940 and the 2.8GHz Phenom II X4 920, these new quad-core CPUs are AMD's first 45nm desktop processors, and they finally bring AMD in line with Intel's 45nm manufacturing process, used in its Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core i7 chips.
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?
From a do-it-yourself perspective, we're mostly unimpressed with AMD's new 2.5GHz Phenom X4 9850 quad-core desktop processor.
AMD's Phenom II processor is designed to boost the company's presence in the desktop market. But how does it fare against Intel's latest Core i7 (Nehalem) chip?
While the higher power consumption is a slight concern, the X4 955 proves that AMD is back in the performance game and ready to play hard ball. Bring on the next generation.
Intel's new Nehalem architecture features an integrated memory controller and runs two threads per CPU core. Our extensive benchmark tests reveal how well the new quad-core processors perform in practice.
Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.
