When I use my computer, I often feel that my CPU is under performing. The only time I don't feel like this is when I am using programs or playing games that are made for multi-core processors. This has stopped me from upgrading to i7 simply because I don't know …

While most reporters and bloggers today are trumpeting the fine showing by chip-maker AMD in the semi-annual list of the world's [Top 500 Supercompting Sites](http://www.top500.org/list/2009/11/100), for me the real news is what AMD has planned for next year. In the first quarter of 2010, AMD is scheduled to begin shipping …

Two years after selling off its Xscale operations, Intel is once again turning its attention to building microprocessors for small devices.

The [url=http://theinquirer.net/?article=26628]Inquirer[/url] has just published their recommendations for the ‘value points’ in processor purchasing. Their recommendations are quite similar to those promoted by a number of reviewers, but closer inspection leaves me quite unconvinced. The assumptions they make fall somewhat short of the mark in my eyes, and leaves their …
