Performance Matters: AMD Introduces AthlonXP ProcessorOct 9, 2001 - in Reviews
The wait is finally over. Today AMD is releasing its first desktop processor based on the 'Palomino' core under the name AthlonXP. The launch of AthlonXP is also marking AMD's step away from the usual clock frequency rating of processors to a new rating system suggesting 'relative performance'. I consider this the real big deal about today's launch. It requires a lot of discussion.

AMD's Duron Reaches The Giga Hertz BarrierAug 21, 2001 - in Reviews
Yesterday AMD launched today's launch of their value processor Duron at 1 GHz . To create at least a little excitement AMD didn't just release a faster version of the well-known Duron CPU, but equipped the new Giga Hertz version with a more advanced core known under the code name 'Morgan'. We are having a look to find out if this had any significant impact on Duron's performance.

HOT! An Early Look At The New Pentium III (Tualatin or Coppermine-T?)Jun 12, 2001 - in Reviews
Somehow one of those new Pentium III (Tualatin or Coppermine-T?) processors with the famous clock speed 1.13 GHz happened to fall in our lap. We think that for historical reason it should be us and nobody else, who tests Intel's second attempt to manufacture a Pentium III at this clock speed, so we gave the still 'secret' chip a good test run. Now we understand why Intel doesn't know if it should release it or not. Once overclocked to more than 1.4 GHz it is able to threaten Intel's fastest Pentium 4 processors.

AMD Launches Athlon Processor at 1300 and 1333 MHzMar 22, 2001 - in Reviews
Only a few weeks ago we learned from AMD's president Hector Ruiz that AMD is not feeling under any particular pressure to release the next speed grade Athlon processor, as long as the current models are successfully competing against the Pentium 4 products of archenemy Intel. A handful of reviewers and analysts know very well that samples of Athlon 1333 processors are running flawlessly for more than a month now. Today, on the first day of CeBIT2001/Germany, the world's largest computer convention, AMD is finally releasing its new high-speed Athlon processors. We have put them through rigorous testing.

Important Pentium 4 Evaluation UpdateNov 22, 2000 - in Reviews
Our Pentium 4 review from Monday ended with a rather benevolent conclusion for Intel's new flagship processor. However, new data shows that Pentium 4 performs horribly even in MPEG4-encoding, once you use high quality settings. Those new findings don't leave a lot of room for positive feelings about Pentium 4. This update will show you another weakness of Pentium 4, which inevitably leads to much harsher conclusions.
