[May 9, 2008] Why AMD Went the Multi-Chip Module Route
AMD insists going pure quad core will pay off down the road. Plus, it's using multi-chip design to solve its problems as well.[May 8, 2008] AMD Alters Course on the Way to 12 Cores
The roadmap from as recently as December goes out the window in favor of a surprisingly familiar design. [May 2, 2008] Chips Sales Grew 3.8 Percent in Q1 2008
Some may think the world is getting 'flatter', but chip sales are not. International markets are more than offsetting the sputtering US economy. [May 2, 2008] Intel, Cray Seek a Payoff Far Down The Road
Most partnerships come to fruition in months. The fruits of Intel and Cray's ambitious new supercomputing relationship won't ripen for years. [April 28, 2008] AMD Sets Its Sights on Business Desktops
AMD Business Class is an initiative designed to bring AMD-based hardware to the corporate world, with emphasis on the SMB market. [April 22, 2008] TI's Less Than Terrific
Investors hoping that Intel's blow-out results last week were good news for rest of the chip sector received a bit of a letdown late Monday.
[May 9, 2008] Weekly CPU Prices - Week of May 5
Overall CPU prices have gone back into a holding pattern, with both AMD and Intel products showing very nominal - if any - price drops. There is some very limited activity, but at least prices haven't been rising either.[May 2, 2008] Weekly CPU Prices - Week of April 28
Last week's Intel Core 2 price-cutting created some anticipation for this week, but unfortunately, we're mostly back to the status quo. The AMD CPU chart is a non-event, but there was some activity on the Intel side, including a few double-digit cuts at the 3.0-3.16 GHz Core 2 Duo range [April 29, 2008] AMD Hits a Triple with the Phenom X3
Market-wise, the gap between dual- and quad-core PC processors may not be big enough to drive a truck through. Or a subcompact. Or a shopping cart. But AMD is betting it's got room for a new family of triple-core CPUs. Will the Phenom X3's sales pitch of better multitasking for the price of a dual-core attract buyers? And what happens if tri-core demand exceeds AMD's supply of didn't-quite-pass-inspection quad-cores?
[April 25, 2008] Weekly CPU Prices - Week of April 21
It has been a very long time between Intel price drops, but we're happy to report that the chip giant has taken the axe to a few of its most popular Core 2 Duo and Quad models. There's not much happening on the AMD side. [April 24, 2008] Review: AMD Phenom X3 8750
The multi-tiered Phenom lineup has had to wait a bit for the updated B3 core to make the rounds, but the new triple-core X3 is finally here. The 2.4 GHz Phenom X3 8750 is the flagship of the triple-core line, running at a full 2.4 GHz, but at a lower power envelope. Our review will determine how well an Phenom X3 handles our system and gaming benchmarks, and see how high it can overclock.
