Abstract: Intel, aka chipzilla, has been ruling the performance desktop processor market for what has been an age. Ever since the debacle that Pentium IV was (at least all Pentium IVs beyond Northwood), Intel has not looked back. It check mated AMD with its Core ar...
Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
Abstract: The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't ......
Abstract: If you have between USD 115 and USD 120 to spend on a CPU, you have two choices, the Athlon II X4 640 (which is a quad-core CPU running at 3 GHz) or the Core i3 530 (which is a dual-core CPU running at 2.93 GHz). Which one should you buy? That is what ...
Abstract: While a comparable AMD system is a tad cheaper, AMD does not cripple it's chipset and CPUs as much as Intel does. By cost per performance the performance as you have seen is on par, even hyperthreading on the i3 does work well. What is surprising, AMD can cope with Intel even in idle power consumption. As you can see, Intel and AMD are pretty close, but wit..
While we’ve often seen so-called CPU bottlenecks impeding the performance of our multi-GPU systems, today’s highest-quality gaming test has proven that when it comes to single-GPU systems, even a high-performance card like the Radeon HD 5850 can’t outs...
Abstract: It's been awhile since Intel introduced any kind of "Extreme" edition CPU's. The new Core i7 980X represents just that - a new CPU that's supposed to be the fastest, the meanest, the conqueror, the benchmark for all others.
At the conclusion of my first Clarkdale article I stated this:The exception to this? Extreme low cost requirements. You can get aCore i3 processor for $113 that will give you similar levels of CPUperformance but without the Turbo Mode features. You sti...
Abstract: Editor's Note: Product not yet tested. The following description is from the manufacturer.Upgrade your system with the Core i3-530 and own the processor that speeds up when you do. This CPU features the "Intel graphics technology" with "Intel Clear Vid...
