On the next installment of The Green Enteprise, CNET News.com's Michael Kanellos looks at how Intel is developing green technologies for its customers and within its own organization. Innovations include ultra-lower power 45nm chips, greening its fab operations in China, Arizona and Israel; and developing non-toxic materials for packaging and...
Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.
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.
This is a well-built workstation with quad-core power to spare, although it could do with more storage options...
Today's netbooks are mostly Intel Atom-powered, but that could change with the advent of VIA's Nano processor, which outperforms Intel's CPU in several areas.
