The move to a new platform brings credible new challengers to Intel’s Core 2 processors

AMD’s next generation of CPUs brings 45nm technology and higher clock speeds - but is that enough to compete with Intel’s latest and greatest?

While Intel is rolling out new designs, AMD's focus is on getting the most out of its existing Phenom II process. The AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black edition is just what the doctor ordered.

From Celerons to Core i7s, Semprons to Phenom IIs, David Bayon tests Mainsteam desktop processors and finds the best budget, mid-range and enthusiast (gaming) choice for you.

All the details you wanted

AMD is likely to shift production of desktop CPUs to 45nm process technology by the third quarter of 2009 and launch several new CPUs, say sources in the know.

The Phenom II from AMD is here, and it has been billed as the company’s big comeback after a 2008 in which it was pummelled by Intel. So how does the CPU stack up against Intel's Core i7?

A smartly engineered processor, but for today’s applications it’s lacking in bang per buck.

Chip maker AMD has unveiled the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition, which it claims is the world's highest frequency quad-core desktop processor..

If you've ever wondered what the difference would be between a system you buy off-the-shelf, and the same system overclocked, Trinity International Computers sent us two systems that answer exactly that question

While many ultraportable laptops, like the Toshiba R200 go all out to get size and weight to an absolute minimum, a great deal of usability is often sacrificed – the X505 is impractically small for constant daily usage while the R200 has limited battery sizes.

The In Win B2 Stealth Bomber case goes for Top Gun thrills, but ultimately lacks the grunt to make it off the runway.

AMD has released a special limited edition processor designed for heavy overclocking. The Phenom II X4 42 Black Edition TWKR chips will support higher voltages and perform at higher frequencies.

They're back on top in the graphics game, now AMD is trying to claw back some respect for its CPUs..
