Intel desktop roadmap leaked: faster i5, i7; new i3 CPUs

Nothing to get excited aboutThe Core i3's and new i5's are dual-core only.Looking at the chart, they are only capable of 4 threads and have Hyperthreading, hence only 2 real cores.I'm betting that Intel still won't have anything close to compelling in the chipset market compared to AMD's Radeon chipsets,...

From the ashes of Geode, AMD brings Bobcat with 1:1 possibilities

OLPC's first laptop, the XO has been both praised and criticized for many things. Perhaps most significant was its incredibly low power consumption, critical for use in areas with very limited electrical capacity. Key to this power consumption was the AMD Geode processor, an utterly anemic piece of...

Dell's Studio XPS 8000 offers an attractive chassis and mostly up-to-date features. Its configurations start as low as $699, but our $1,329 review unit is a solid upper-midrange performance desktop that will play games and handle more demanding digital media tasks with little difficulty. For the very price-performance conscious, both...

Is Nvidia planning to add X86 compatibility to its chipsets?

I hope soNVIDIA with x86-64 technology would be Next Big ThingTM, although I'd rather see a new architecture replace the aging x86. 64-bit is just a tack-on feature set of x86. I'd rather see something in line with IA64 from NVIDIA to shake up Intel. I'm sure...

Sony has thus far taken a position just adjacent to Apple's when it comes to the question of Netbooks. Rather than embracing these low-cost, low-power systems that have become incredibly popular with bargain-hunting consumers, Sony stayed out of the market initially.
