Mobile CPU Charts 2007
Tom's Interactive Mobile CPU Charts focus on popular mobile processors, which are used in laptops and notebooks because of their increased energy efficiency. We tested nine AMD and Intel processors tested across 15 different benchmarks using Windows XP. Core 2 Duo is the dominating processor in the notebook/laptop space and AMD's Turion 64 X2 has become a budget option. However, all of these dual core processors deliver sufficient performance for mainstream applications. The Price/Performance Index relates US$ costs to the overall performance.
CPU Charts 2008 Q1/2008
Tom's Interactive CPU Charts offer the most comprehensive x86 processor comparison on the Internet. The 2008 edition includes as many as 91 AMD and Intel desktop processors, which we tested across 35 individual benchmarks under Windows Vista. The benchmarks include industry standard software as well as popular workloads across multiple application categories, allowing you to find the CPU that meets your requirements (see benchmark details below the charts). The Charts are also a valuable tool if you want to check how your computer stacks up against current hardware. The 2008 charts include three different processor generations, starting with AMD's Socket 939 Athlons and Semprons, and including all Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors that were released for Socket 775.

A new version of a roadmap distributed by Intel to its closest partners lists the upcoming quad-core "Kentsfield" as the new flagship of the firm's desktop processor portfolio. The new Core 2 Extreme will arrive with a clock speed of 2.67 GHz, more L2 cache and substantially higher power consumption.
Intel's Core Duo shines in first THG review, dual-core system disappoints
January 16, 2006 – 3:24 PM
Tom's Hardware has published its first in-depth review of a prototype notebook equipped with Intel's dual-core "Core Duo" processor. While the device demonstrated convincing performance, the system's surprisingly high power consumption leaves questions to be answered in the future.
CES 2007: Eat this, Quad FX: Here's an 8-core desktop!
January 9, 2007 – 12:18 AM
You didn't think that Intel would leave all that dual-socket fame for itself, did you? At CES, Intel showed off an 8-core desktop system build on a 2P workstation board with two quad-core processors. Intel claims that the system trumps AMD's fastest Quad-FX by 61% in one key benchmark. And yes, we do have pictures of this beast.
CES 2006: Intel's Paul Otellini unveils Core Duo processor, not Core Solo
January 5, 2006 – 10:23 PM
The president and CEO of Intel gave a formal name to the company's Yonah architecture this evening - the successor to the Pentium M. Core Duo is now a reality, and so is Intel's entry into the high-stakes world of streaming media download services, as Viiv takes on a life of its own.
AMD's quad-core CPU to consume dual-core power
June 23, 2006 – 6:25 PM
If AMD has its way, then Intel's performance-per-watt leadership claim may be short lived: The first quad-core Opterons, due in 2007 will consume the same power as today's dual-core processors, while AMD expects Intel to increase the power envelope when adding more cores.
