The last week has turned into a financial nightmare for chip manufacturer AMD. The company has reached the lowest share price and witnessed a true freefall in the market value: the whole company is now worth $5 billion, a shameful value for a company who could afford paying $5.4 billion for the ATI business takeover ... |

When things were settling just fine for the two unfortunate chip models from AMD, Phenom and Barcelona, rumors erupt to hit the company yet again. The BIOS patch AMD issued prior to November 19th is alleged to fix the L3 problem at a great performance cost, and there is even an operating system workaround to work at ... |

The so-called microcode injection patch that was supposed to miraculously heal the Phenoms' faulty behaviour at speeds exceeding 2.4 GHz is a fiasco. It is true that it fixes the issue and the users will never experience system freeze on high overload again, but they won't experience high speeds either. All... |

The fact that AMD is sitting on a timebomb is not a secret anymore. The company strongly lacks cash and their most recent products failed to impose themselves as quality standards. In fact, the Phenom line has done far worse, a third of the processors ending amputated at birth. I will spare you the teary introduction... |

Little took AMD's Spider platform launch to transform into a gigantic failure, and leave them with chipsets, GPUs and no CPUs. Spider is a good choice of words, because AMD dropped the 9700 just as the spider drops its limbs to go away. The 9500s and 9700s finally made it to the market, luckily, because they wer... |

The world's second chip manufacturer is still kept on a short leash in terms of pricing for their latest Phenom processors. The company will not be able to push their processor towards a $1000 retail price for another few months, but they hope that AMD Phenom models 9700 and 9900 would bring higher price-points ... |

AMD's launch of the Spider platform was a really close shave. We got used to AMD's delaying and setting timelines just for the joy of shamefully disrespecting them, but AMD has now entered the orbit of good luck. If we close our eyes regarding the errata issue, the Phenom CPUs will not lack in performance; ... |

Advanced Micro Devices recently promised that the Phenom 9600 "Black Edition" will be ready until December, but the high-end AMD Phenom FX processors will be subject of delay for an undetermined period of time. We have already got used to AMD delaying each major product, so there should be no problem; at least the 96... |

Rumor has it that the new Nvidia 680i chipset does not support all the Intel's 45nm processor line. Well, things have gone official now, since the deal was given away by an EVGA forum staff member. Nvidia's new Nforce 680i chipset seems to have some compatibility issues with the next generation of Penryn pr... |

There is no doubt that AMD has had a tough year, which reflected in over $1.5 billion US loss and multiple delays in releasing the company's first quad-core processor. The Intel competitors always seemed one step ahead of them, while they were busy taking up the ATI business. The recent unveiling of the Phenom p... |

Advanced Micro Devices is a company that has its collective hands full at the moment. For one thing it has to promote as best as it can the server line of the quad core processors that they just released and on the other hand (I'm running low on hands, here) they must prepare a new generation of mainboard chipse... |

When Advanced Micro Devices officially launched their quad core central processing units two days ago, most of the server manufacturers felt just a little bit cheated as the company presented only processors with a low clock speed, which tops at 2.0GHz. AMD stated that higher clocked quad core processors based on the... |

AMD is working hard to make its next generation of both desktop and server aimed processors unbeatable. At least, this is what they say. Personally, I tend to believe them as the new Barcelona based processors will be a "make or brake" for the entire company. In the happiest scenario, the Phenom processors will just ... |

Although Phenoms are still at least three months away, motherboard manufacturers are already starting to produce AM2 solutions which will be natively compatible with the new Phenom series. And since Biostar has always been an innovation specialist, it seems that they are the first to roll out an AM2 MoBo, namely th... |

Or it will be very soon. The term "very" can be discussed a lot since the latest Nvidia core logic is still months away from its final form. However judging by the multitude of information that comes from various "unofficial" sources, it seems that Nvidia might be closer to PCI-E 2.0 than we think. Because if their r... |

AMD's Barcelona and Agena CPUs are almost here, but don't expect out-of-the box compatibility with the current AM2 motherboards. Before the emergence of AM3 sockets, AMD will release AM2 designs to support the new quad-cores. There are also a couple of new chipsets to be integrated in the AM2 motherboards... |
