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 decided to borrow the sequential naming scheme it used for its famous Pentium brand and apply it to the new Core line of chips.
BEA Systems has changed its server software pricing plan regarding dual-core processors, bringing it in line with the policy advocated by partner Intel.
Just as the bragging rights for dual-core chip supremacy are dying down, Intel gave the first glimpse of a quad-core chip coming next year.
In a move that should please its customers, but not necessarily its shareholders, VMware announced on Tuesday that it would price its software for dual-core processors at the same price as it does for single-core systems.
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?
New storage technology can be frankly pornographic: it's big, it's sexy and you want it slammed into your rack right now but is a long term relationship more satisfying?
When companies launch a brand new product it usually takes some time to weed out the niggling issues; but how many systems need to break before the situation is recognised as a disaster rather than an unfortunate blip in quality control?
Last week I had the chance to hear HP give their world view on why you should join them and Intel on Itanium for your next generation of servers.
He led the Pentium team, and had a major hand in Centrino... what's next for Anand Chandrasekher?
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
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.
If you listen to Intel, the last hold-outs against the x86 instruction set are about to fall with super-powered Nehalem swarms mopping up the high end of massed Power PC supercomputers, and sneaky little Atoms nibbling away at the ARM embedded market.
A look at how Intel chips have evolved -- from the revolutionary 4004 to the teraflop-ready 80-core prototype of tomorrow.
The chipmaker adds a new chip for 2004 and moves up the launch date of an Itanium with two processors.
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.
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.
The Dell Inspiron 9400 packs a solid set of multimedia features, and when configured with Intel's Core Duo processor, it has enough power to speed through virtually any task, from editing video to playing games.
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.
