Written by Rob Williams on June 2, 2009 In Intel Multi-Core

It's been a good seven months since the launch of the original Core i7 processors, so isn't it about time we got to see some new models? Don't fret, as Intel has just announced their i7-950 3.06GHz mid-range and i7-975 3.33GHz high-end models. We're taking a look at the latter today, so let's see how it compares to its predecessor.

For each component that can go into a PC, there are usually countless models to choose from, and the CPU scheme of things is no different.

Written by Rob Williams on February 19, 2009 In AMD Multi-Core

Phenom II may have just launched last month, but AMD didn't want to waste time in following-up with their first AM3-based processors.

Both offer great performance at their respective price-points, but the X3 became the more appealing chip, thanks to its overclocking ability.

Q9400S & Q8200S: Intel's 65W Quad-Cores

Written by Rob Williams on February 9, 2009 In Intel Multi-Core

The benefits of a low-TDP processor are obvious, but a usual downside is also obvious: low clock speeds. Intel's changing that thinking with their Core 2 Quad "S" series, which includes the Q9550S, Q9400S and also the Q8200S. Compared to their non-"S" variants, they draw less power and run cooler, all while retaining the performance they've become known for.
