Our early tests also show the new entry-level Core i5 750 is the one to watch when it comes to best bang for your buck. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/76889/intels-new-core-i7-and-core-i5-processors-explained#comments Hardware Product review CPUs Intel processors Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:04:21 -0400 ITworld staff 76889 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/server-and-data-center/61197/rackable-puts-desktop-cpus-low-cost-servers Rackable Systems is using desktop PC components for a new, low-cost server architecture called MicroSlice http://www.itworld.com/server-and-data-center/61197/rackable-puts-desktop-cpus-low-cost-servers#comments Server and data center News AMD CPUs Rackable Systems Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:53:28 -0500 ITworld staff 61197 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/61035/intel-cuts-quad-core-chip-prices-40-percent Intel on Monday announced price cuts across a wide range of chips used in mobile and desktop PCs, including cuts of up to 40 percent for its quad-core chips. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/61035/intel-cuts-quad-core-chip-prices-40-percent#comments Hardware News CPUs Intel processors Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:28:26 -0500 ITworld staff 61035 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/60151/amd-wants-make-small-laptops-cheaper-yukon AMD hopes to undercut prices of expensive ultraportable laptops with mobile chips it is expected to introduce on Tuesday. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/60151/amd-wants-make-small-laptops-cheaper-yukon#comments Hardware News AMD AMD Yukon CES CPUs netbook Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:44:59 -0500 ITworld staff 60151 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/legal/58506/intel-calls-eu-antitrust-probe-discriminatory-and-partial The European Union's antitrust investigation of Intel is "discriminatory and partial," the chip maker complained in an action that's detailed in a recent edition of the EU's official journal, saying it's not being permitted to properly defend itself against the charges. http://www.itworld.com/legal/58506/intel-calls-eu-antitrust-probe-discriminatory-and-partial#comments Hardware Legal News antitrust chips CPUs Intel Thu, 27 Nov 2008 20:47:36 -0500 ITworld staff 58506 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/57781/amd-looks-purge-past-chip-problems-shanghai AMD hopes to move beyond past chip blunders with the Thursday launch of its latest quad-core Opteron processor, code-named Shanghai. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/57781/amd-looks-purge-past-chip-problems-shanghai#comments Hardware News AMD chips CPUs Opteron processor Thu, 13 Nov 2008 11:16:47 -0500 ITworld staff 57781 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/windows/57446/windows-server-2008-r2-support-256-cpu-cores Microsoft Thursday said the next upgrade of its Windows Server operating system will scale up to 256 logical processors. http://www.itworld.com/windows/57446/windows-server-2008-r2-support-256-cpu-cores#comments Operating systems Windows News chips CPUs Windows Server 2008 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:52:46 -0500 ITworld staff 57446 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/54458/time-working-against-amds-asset-light-plans As part of AMD's efforts to recover from the damaging delay of its Barcelona quad-core processor in 2007, the chip maker wants to spin off its two manufacturing plants, called fabs, as part of a strategy called asset light. http://www.itworld.com/business/54458/time-working-against-amds-asset-light-plans#comments Business News AMD CPUs financial results restructuring Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:25:00 -0400 ITworld staff 54458 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/news/54266/intel-drops-centrino-atom-brand-after-five-months Intel has dropped the Centrino Atom brand after just five months, opting instead to use just the Atom brand across this part of its product line. http://www.itworld.com/news/54266/intel-drops-centrino-atom-brand-after-five-months#comments Hardware News Atom CPUs Intel mobile internet device Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:26:23 -0400 ITworld staff 54266 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/news/54168/pc-industry-scared-netbooks-may-hurt-laptop-sales Advanced Micro Devices has no immediate plans to release a processor designed for low-cost laptops, sometimes called netbooks, saying its not yet clear whether or not growing shipments of these devices will cannibalize sales of mainstream laptops. http://www.itworld.com/news/54168/pc-industry-scared-netbooks-may-hurt-laptop-sales#comments Hardware News CPUs laptop netbook ultramobile Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:16:58 -0400 ITworld staff 54168 at http://www.itworld.com
