AMD launched its latest quad-core Opteron processor, code-named 'Shanghai', yesterday internationally.
Intel is set to unveil a range of new innovations, including a new two-billion transistor, quad-core Itanium microprocessor codenamed Tukwila, at the International Solid State Circuits Conference this week.
AMD has fleshed out its server stategy for the next two years, with a promise of a faster version of its Barcelona quad-core chip later this year.
Advanced Micro Devices is coming out with its own Centrino. The US-based chipmaker is prepping an energy-efficient notebook chip, code-named Griffin, as well as a platform based around Griffin called Puma, (similar to Intel's Centrino) that will likely allow AMD to better compete in the rapidly growing notebook market.
Intel is getting ready to introduce a chip communications technology that mirrors an approach central to recent successes of rival Advanced Micro Devices.
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.
Over a long and distinguished career, Andy Bechtolsheim has earned a reputation as a top-notch engineer. Now that reputation will be put to the test. The task: Invent Sun Microsystems' next "hot box".
Will they or won't they? Dell execs remain elusive on AMD plans, but analysts say circumstances could push the two together.
Hewlett-Packard has released its final Alpha processor, the beginning of the end for a chip dynasty that never was.
A key industry group is aiming to come out with a new specification for a high-speed chip connection technology that could more than triple the bandwidth for data.
We compare Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) servers from Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems and pick a winner.
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.
AMD's 'Shanghai' processors are the company's first chips to exploit the improved performance and efficiency of 45nm technology. ZDNet's tests show that they have made up important ground on Intel's Xeons.
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.
While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.
