Despite producing the fastest consumer oriented system processor on the market Intel isn’t content to stick around with an old design for too long. The company’s upcoming (code named) Sandy Bridge processors offer distinct performance and feature advantages over any current processor available today. The chip takes on a whole host of changes all at […]

Most people don’t need much computing power but the increasingly faster high end CPUs of today have loaned their cores, sans some cache, to the budget models. Fortunately for under $100 you can find some powerful processors regardless of platform you choose. AMD has some triple core value chips to get their point across while […]

Storage performance doesn’t affect the home user nearly as much as it does the server crowd but somewhere on down the line this is bound to make it into desktop machines. Intel is working to integrate hardware RAID functionality into their Patsburg chipset, presumably their next high end desktop/server chipset, and Serial Attached SCSI support […]

There are certain things that aren’t readily accepted by organizations until the big names in industry take a stab at it…yes your next work desktop will likely be puny. The Intel DH57JG Mini ITX motherboard supports Intel LGA 1156 processors with integrated graphics (and without) but it also includes a PCIe x16 slot for those […]

Intel had been content with building all manner of microprocessors and flash storage chips to meet their customer’s needs but, oddly, being the largest PC processor manufacturer has seen it stay out of the software segment all together. They have a few tools they sell to developers but, for the most part, they mostly deal […]
Read more Intel to acquire McAfee, hardware assisted system crawl far behind?
Server processors tend to go for all out performance, which you do want, but that need for speed leads to nasty things like heat output and energy consumption that you have to manage one way or another. Of course processor manufacturers will gladly sell you some finely tuned CPUs that claim to pull less energy […]

Jumping into the overclocking arena can be a little difficult, if not tedious, as most processors require you to pump the clock rates on a system’s chipset which happens to add yet another variable that could stymie your quest for the fastest speeds. The Intel Core i5 655K and Core i7 875K processors (or K […]

To most folks a processor is a processor. They don’t bother themselves with information on clock speeds and multiplier settings as long as their system runs quickly enough. Enthusiasts on the other hand… Intel is apparently preparing a pair of unlocked processors that fall outside of their Extreme Edition lineup. The K series Core i7 […]
