- AMD's new chip a Phenom
- Why is AMD changing the name of its high-end desktop processor line from Athlon to Phenom? It’s a metaphor for the companys expectations for the chips, due out later this year. AMD is aiming for its Phenom to be just that; a marvel of performance and unit sales, representing a...

- AMD's Barcelona summer
- If I was to make a top ten list for the most anticipated processors of 2007, I think that AMD’s Barcelona quad-core Opteron chip would top it. An AMD marketing person might say the chip is the most anticipated processor of 2007. Whether it’s the processor wars, AMD executives...

- Not your father's Intel Architecture
- Intel is using this weeks Intel Developer Forum in Beijing to show the new direction in which it is taking its processors. The chipmaker has begun to shift away from designing and manufacturing monolithic or single function chips. Instead, it has begun to create silicon that pairs its Intel Architecture...

- Intel doesn't see much need to cut prices
- Digitimes is reporting that Intel is preparing to drop the prices on its Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors by 5-10% in April. (Link here.) There’s no real surprise in this, given that Intel has begun phasing out these processors.What’s more interesting is the relative lack of information, recently, about...

- Gateway, the quad-core pioneer
- Earlier this week, I asked, “Where are the quads?” I’ve been wondering when Intel’s Core 2 Quad, released in January, would show up in a brand-name consumer desktop PC. I expected to see the chip first from a company like Alienware. But the first Core 2 Quad system that I...

- IBM Power6 goes fast on less gas
- Who says clock speed doesn’t matter anymore? IBM has been saying for years, now, that clock speed—a given chip’s gigahertz rating—is no longer the main driver of chip performance. Other chipmakers are on the same page. Advanced Micro Devices, for its part, has been emphasizing performance per watt or...

- Where are the quads?
- The number of quad-core desktops sold to this point is infinitesimal when compared to, say, the overall number of units sold in the fourth quarter of 2006. Intel unveiled its Core Extreme QX6700 quad-core in November. Although most brand-name PC makers offer the quad-core extreme chip in their desktops, I...

- Dual-core chips are here to stay
- Despite the fanfare surrounding the arrival of quad-core PC processors late last year, dual-core chips are anything but on a downward slide these days, in-the-know chip businesspeople say. Thus, while it’s safe to say that to say that almost all x86 servers now ship with dual-core chips inside—and that the...

- What Intel's 45nm chips mean to you
- Intels forthcoming 45nm processor manufacturing process has metal inside. The chipmaker, for the first time, will substitute certain materials that it—along with the whole industry, in fact—has been using since the 1960s to make transistors. The work at this most basic level of semiconductor design and manufacturing is necessary to...

- What's behind AMD's earnings warning?
- AMD’s fourth quarter 2006 earnings warning is all about chip pricing. First, the background: AMD said in a Jan. 11 statement that its fourth quarter 2006 (4Q06) revenue, excluding its newly-acquired ATI business segments, would increase by 3% from the $1.33 billion it reported for 3Q06. But AMD...
