AMD Releases Duron 900Apr 2, 2001 - in Reviews
It was only a question of time until AMD would make the next logical step and launch the next fastest Duron processor, running at 900 MHz. The computing power of this new low-cost processor is getting impressively close to the performance leaders from a year ago, the Giga Hertz Pentium III and Athlon CPUs.

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.

Pentium 4 Systems: To Buy or Not To Buy / To Cry Or Not to CryJan 30, 2001 - in Reviews
Have you become interested in one of those Pentium 4 systems for 'only' $1500? Have you maybe even considered buying such a Pentium 4 system? This article will separate truth from fiction and answer the question if there is any sense in spending your money on one of those new Pentium 4 machines. Tom compares two Dell Dimension 8100 Pentium 4 systems with two equally priced Athlon systems from Gateway and Micron to save you from making the wrong decision.

AMD Releases Duron 850Jan 8, 2001 - in Reviews
The race in the low-cost sector continues. After Intel's amusingly late release of the Celeron 800 at the (exciting?) FSB clock of 100 MHz, AMD is countering with Duron 850. It's no surprise which of the two has the better performance and the more attractive price.

Painting a New Picture of Pentium 4: Tweaked MPEG4 EncodingNov 25, 2000 - in Reviews
Since my last article about Pentium 4 Intel was far from lazy. While Intel's US-employees enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, their European colleagues were busy working on a tweak for FlasK MPEG that sheds a very different light on Pentium 4's video-encoding performance. Don't miss those new insights!

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.

Processors On The Rocks: Asetek's VapoChillNov 3, 2000 - in Reviews
Are you interested in running your high-end processor at 30-60% higher clock speed and don't hesitate to spend $650 on that? Then you should have a close look at Asetek's new VapoChill. It cools down any Socket370 or SocketA processor to -19°C (-2°F) and your overclocking orgy can begin.

AMD Extends Performance Lead With New Athlon and Duron ProcessorOct 17, 2000 - in Reviews
You never were able to get so much processing power for so little money. AMD releases Athlon 1200, the fastest x86 processor and Duron 800, the most powerful low-cost processor that ever existed. None of the two goes for another superlative in terms of pricing.

Intel Roadmap News 10/2000: Part Two, Intel's Future Mobile and Server/Workstation ProductsOct 16, 2000 - in Reviews
Intel's recent roadmap for notebook products looks quite jolly. Already in the beginning of next year we will see the first Giga Hertz processor for mobile platforms and mobile Pentium III processors at up to 1.26 GHz will arrive soon afterwards as well. The workstation and server roadmap is not quite as interesting, except for the fact that Intel is counting a lot on 'Third Party' chipset makers to provide non-RDRAM platforms for those systems.

AMD's Latest Thunderbird: SocketA Athlon at 1.1 GHzAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
In the last 12 months we have learned that AMD's Athlon architecture is built for clock speed. In June AMD released the first Athlon with on-die second level cache for SocketA, better known under its code name 'Thunderbird'. After ramping up production AMD finally launched the latest 'Thunderbird' for 1.1 GHz clock speed. This new and powerful Athlon 1100 will actually ship now and ship in volume, which is a major difference to Intel's flaky Pentium III at 1.13 GHz.

Intel Admits Problems With Pentium III 1.13 GHz: Production and Shipments HaltedAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
We just reported our latest bad experiences with Intel's recently released high-end processor. While I asked Intel to consider the retraction of their Pentium III 1.13 GHz processors once more, I couldn't know how close Intel was to actually do exactly that. Read the full scoop on the situation.

Latest Update On Intel's 1.13 GHz Pentium IIIAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
You certainly remember our negative experiences with the 1.13 GHz Pentium III processor that we received for reviewing four weeks ago. We concluded that Intel should consider the retraction of this chip. In a joint venture between us, HardOCP and AnandTech we found out that three different 1.13 GHz Pentium III samples were unable to pass our Linux kernel compilation test. Other instabilities were seen as well. It seems obvious that Intel's latest chip is indeed a flawed product.

Revisiting Intel's New Pentium III at 1.13 GHzAug 1, 2000 - in Reviews
Two days ago I was supplying you with my findings and thoughts of Intel's new Super-CPU. At that time I assumed that the instability issues were caused by the lack of a micro code update. Today I received this update, but the instability remains. I also found another well-known hardware reviewer who ran into similar problems. This raises one serious question. Is Intel shipping faulty processors?

Intel's Next Paper Release: The Pentium III at 1133 MHzJul 31, 2000 - in Reviews
After the shameful defeat in the Giga Hertz race Intel is now trying to leapfrog AMD. By squeezing the last bit of performance out of the well-known Coppermine core Intel created a very fast processor. The fact that it is the most unreliable and instable CPU Intel has ever released equalizes the fact that it will hardly be available.

Intel Celeron Overclocking GuideJul 28, 2000 - in Reviews
Thanks to the Coppermine core, the new Celeron processors are great for overclocking. We dealt with this topic and found out the maximum performance you can get out of a Celeron.

Overclocking AMD's Socket ProcessorsJul 11, 2000 - in Reviews
The riddle has been solved. We are proud to announce that we can now present all the right settings of the little copper bridges on the new AMD processors for each clock speed. We've also got some suggestion on how to open or close those little bridges. Overclocking Thunderbird and Duron will now be a lot easier than it used to be with Athlon and it will work on any motherboard.
