The Athlon 64 FX Overclocked to 3 GHz
It's nothing new that the Athlon 64 offers at least the same performance as the Pentium 4 while running at a far slower speed. That said, in the last two years power loss values have risen to such levels with Intel devices that the manufacturer is now vulnerable on two fronts.
Dual-Core, Simple Price: Athlon 64 X2 3800+
As we closed up our tests of the Dual Core Athlon 64 X2 from AMD, our conclusions were positive. With two processor cores on one chip, slow-moving computers are a thing of the past: multi-threaded applications run faster, as if the clock rate were boosted. But despite this trouble-free and powerful technology, AMD over-reached itself.
A Dissatifying Compromise With AMD's 64 bit Sempron 3400+
There are two sides of the processor market. The first consists of high-end PCs run by powerful and prestigious chips from either AMD or Intel, which outshine each other from time to time. And there is the second side, which consists of large volume shipments of stripped-down computers, solely meant to attain attractive price points at the expense of features or performance.
A Sneak Peak at Intel's 65 nm Pentium 4
History draws a somewhat ambivalent image of Intel's top selling microprocessor, the Pentium 4 , because of its nearly picture-perfect career that lasted until an unprecedented turning point. Intel platforms are versatile, processors are fast and fully featured today; but they run hotter and consume more energy than comparable products offered by the competition.
Intel Moves From Dual Core To Double Core
There is no doubt that the 65 nm chip is going to be much better, though it won't be able to attack AMD's Athlon 64 X2, at least for the time being.
Intel's Next-Generation Server Promises
Intel's architecture still clearly dominates the x86 server market, AMD's Opteron has represented more than just an annoyance for Intel since its introduction in April 2003. In a nutshell, Opteron offers better computing and per-Watt performance at a roughly equivalent per-device price and it scales much better when moving from one to two or even four CPUs. AMD's performance lead is equally large when compared to Intel's new dual-core Xeon devices.

Virtual Infrastructure Summit At VMWorld 2005
VMWare hosted the 2005 VMWorld event, at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. For those of you who have no prior knowledge of VMWare, the key concept behind it is virtualization of computer hardware. Simply put, this refers to how to run more than one operating system concurrently on one physical machine in isolated instances.
Single-Core CPUs Ain't Dead Yet
The introduction of AMD's Athlon 64 X2 and Intel's Pentium D dual core processors will go down in the annals of semiconductor history as a revolution in processor architecture. Suddenly, the classic clock speed performance metric has been seconded by parallelism, which describes how two cores on a single chip boost performance by sharing the workload.
The Mother of All CPU Charts 2005/2006
It's time for a new CPU comparison using our newly developed benchmark suite. The most noteworthy additions are certainly the dual-core processors, but we have also added some new sections focusing especially on the platforms for AMD's Socket 939 and Intel's Socket 775.
