Intel to Launch Three Nehalem-Based CPUs by the Year's End
	The Nehalem architecture is Intel's best bet for the future right now, and it really seems that "Chipzilla" is doing everything in its power to come up with CPUs based on this architecture as fast as possible, with no less than three such components being scheduled to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2008. Thus, as ... [read more >>]

Intel Packs 40% More Transistors than the Competition
	Intel plans to start distributing 16 new processors, created through a technology that incorporates more transistors onto a regular microprocessor chip, and boast inventive new materials to prevent electricity loss, for better servers and faster gaming PCs. These new generation processors are planned to roll out on Monday. The first processor chips Intel ever produced, in the early 1970, had only 2,300 transistors, compared to ... [read more >>]

Attosecond Accuracy
	A new technique in studying and measuring the motion in elementary particles, such as electrons is developed in Europe by researchers in physics. The technique consists in measuring how long it takes for electrons to reach the surface of a sample, after being excited by a laser. Photoemission spectroscopy suggests that electrons from the conduction band emerge twice as faster as the bound electrons. According to Niels Bohr's classi ... [read more >>]

Dual Core Processors, the Secret for Intel’s Success
	You win some, you lose some, you win some again, it’s just a cat and mouse game, and the participants are our two favorite CPU manufacturers, Intel and AMD. According to a study made by iSuppli, the third quarter of 2006 was the most profitable quarter for AMD that year, gaining a remarkable 16.7% of the worldwide CPU market share, leaving Intel with 73.9%. That must have made them mad somehow, because the first quarter of 2007 ... [read more >>]

Multi core for Embedded Applications
	Seeing how the future is represented by multiple CPU cores, linked together in various ways to give out anything from a simple dual-core offering, to a network array of cores. Whether they are necessary or not, or if the people are going to use such technologies, isn’t a matter of discussion, the future has already been planned ahead for us, and I do mean FOR us, and not BY us. But one market isn’t enough for a company to make ... [read more >>]

AMD Updates Barcelona Specifications
	On the brink of evolution/extinction, AMD is releasing some interesting performance updates for its Barcelona series of processors. Today is the 23rd of April, the day AMD is going to unveil the R600 graphics chipset and corresponding graphics cards and a new series of x86 processors. This may also be the beginning of the end, for if their marketing strategy doesn't pay off, they would be left in the gutter and Intel will on ... [read more >>]

Quad-Core CPUs to Become Half of Mainstream by 2009
	If you are considering having an upgrade in the near future, among the things that score high on your list of components is the CPU. Basically, it can give you the biggest performance boost, or it can seriously set you back a couple hundred dollars, or both. But according to one of the most famous companies that observe the market and give predictions for future years, iSuppli, quad-core processors will be present in “half of all ... [read more >>]

Intel Skulltrail Platform Challenges AMD's Quad FX
	If you want a manual on “how to take on AMD for everything they've got” just ask Intel, they've got just the thing for you, seeing as how their determination has led them into a whole bunch of mishaps, including an ongoing trial with AMD, in which Intel “accidentally” erased the employers' e-mails and other data that could have been vital to this trial. A judge ordered them to recover the data and install better ba ... [read more >>]

Put Your Hands Up for Intel
	Ok, so maybe the song doesn't go like that, but they deserve some credit, everything revolves around the Intel universe nowadays. Maybe it's still time for somebody to step in just as the checkered flag waves by, but it's sure going to be rough to take on Chipzilla, yet alone bring them down from their pedestal. First of all, they've convinced Apple to trade their processors for Intel-based solutions, makin ... [read more >>]

New Toys From Intel
	In the latest news, Microsoft isn't doing so well (what a surprise), and it makes more and more sense why Bill Gates stepped down from the company's throne. Windows Vista didn't sell as much as they expected it would, people are suing over the Windows Vista Capable Logo, and all in all, there is rising competition in the form of better Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, for example. But on the other side, taki ... [read more >>]

After Conroe-L Intel Goes For Merom-L
	The “battle” of multicore versus single core has had its share of supporters, each of them having their own set of arguments and convictions. But it's something that may go on and on forever, because these processors address different categories of users, and “one size fits all” just won't do in this case. An interesting aspect in the processor evolution is that, while the stock frequency of a single core processor went ... [read more >>]

Barcelona Processor Not As Viable As Clovertown
	Since Intel came out with their “world's first quad-core processor”, people started believing that the chip giant had the upper hand on AMD, and their supremacy in the processor business is being proven once again by succeeding in having the quad-core processor first. But AMD had another opinion on the matter, their quad-core processor, codenamed Barcelona, is deemed to still have a chance for the title “world's first q ... [read more >>]

SiS Signs Chipset License for Intel Core 2 Quad Processors
	Has this thought ever crossed your worried mind “what do I have to do in order to manufacture x86 processors?” I guess not, well I came across this idea thinking why aren't that many processor manufacturers out there, I mean, look at the video card segment of the market, new companies are spawning from each and every part of the world, NAND memory manufacturers, same thing, but not processors. So I came to consider someth ... [read more >>]

AMD and Intel Engage in Price Battle
	The game is on, will we see any survivors after the flood? Maybe we will… who knows. On the 22nd of April, Intel is slated to drop the prices for its Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo offerings; this comes in the light of AMD's launch of their first quad-core processor, codenamed Barcelona, in mid-2007. On the Intel side, price cuts will include E6300, E6400, E6420, E6000 and E6700 processors from its Core 2 Duo series, and the Q6 ... [read more >>]

Intel Loses Share to AMD
	Take one look into the future of computing, see where it can go in the next couple of years, or maybe even in a decade or two. It's a hard thing to predict, the future that is, I believe that people that actually have the ability to foresee events that are going to take place in a large enough industry such as the computer industry have more on their side than just a lot of information. I've learned that if you coul ... [read more >>]

AMD Dual Core $100 Processors
	Since Intel took the rabbit called “the Core microarchitecture” out of the hat, the battle changed from “who has the most users” to “let's keep some users on our side” for AMD. Their biggest policy was to reduce the prices, and everybody expected this move from their part, but no one thought up to what point they would go with this, and it seems they're going to make some big sacrifices. Processors like the AMD Athlo ... [read more >>]
