But based on our hands-on testing of two Phenom II machines--the Dell XPS 625 and the Maingear Dash--the chip isn't quite as dominating as AMD would have you believe. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/60374/amd-launches-phenom-ii-cpu-its-fastest-yet#comments Hardware Product review AMD cpu Phenom II processor Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:34:09 -0500 ITworld staff 60374 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/59382/amd-rallies-effort-reinvent-itself Next year will be critical for AMD, as the chip company pursues two major initiatives designed to reverse its financial losses and compete better with industry leader Intel. http://www.itworld.com/business/59382/amd-rallies-effort-reinvent-itself#comments Business News AMD cpu Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:33:15 -0500 ITworld staff 59382 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/57964/pc-makers-embrace-core-i7-chips-new-desktops PC makers on Monday launched desktops that incorporate the latest technologies to work alongside Intel's new Core i7 chips, which have received praise for their speedy performance. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/57964/pc-makers-embrace-core-i7-chips-new-desktops#comments Hardware News chip Core i7 cpu Intel Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:50:02 -0500 ITworld staff 57964 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/55347/transmeta-executives-put-company-sale Microprocessor designer Transmeta is looking for a buyer.

The problem isn't that Intel can't make enough of the silicon chips -- the company can, and it is -- but availability remains stymied by a testing bottleneck that prevents the chip maker from meeting demand. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/54576/atom-demand-still-stymied-testing-bottleneck#comments Hardware News Atom cpu Intel processor Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:33:54 -0400 ITworld staff 54576 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/54530/after-core-2-duo-whats-next-apple-laptops It's always a bit of a delicate dance, running the laptop division at a computer company -- certainly at one that's as vertically integrated as Apple, and certainly when the next generation of the company's popular MacBook and MacBook Pro lines are being prepped for release.
