Asetek, manufacturer of Vapochill CPU cooling system, said that it will introduce one of the first cooling kits for harddrives. The company claims that the kit can reduce harddrive temperatures by up to 42...
AMD has unveiled a new processor brand based on its existing AthlonXP architecture to serve the value PC segment. Available for Socket A and Socket 754, AMD's Sempron matches Intel Celeron D's clockspeeds and...
AMD has introduced its new dual channel Socket 939 Athlon64 platform just a few weeks before Intel's new architecture launch. Our benchmarks show what AMD's socket 939 brings to the table, with such features as...
WindowsXP is dumber than you think, but there are ways to boost performance from a dual processor platform when you assign CPU tasks manually. To help you do that, THG has created a free software utility that...
VIA will use IBM's 300mm East Fishkill wafer fab - the foundry already used to punch out CPUs for Apple and Nvidia, and soon Microsoft and Sony - to produce the next generation of its x86 processor family.
AMD's current public - due for an update, the company admits - lists the Duron line but notes that its survival into 2005 depends upon the 'requirements of the market'.
Intel's Pentium 4 Northwood processor is nearing the end of its product life cycle at 3.4 GHz. Its successor, the Prescott, is slated to offer a clock speed of 4 GHz by end of year, but it runs hot. We look at...
We overclocked AMD's and Intel's flagship CPUs en extremus, with a little help from our advanced compressor cooling system. The result? Overclocking the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition to 4.0 GHz and the Athlon64 FX...
Several weeks after the initial Prescott launch, the 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 Prescott is now available. We take a look at the processor's performance and detail how Intel will change its processor nomenclature...
AMD seeks to regain the performance crown with the Athlon64 FX by raising the processor's clock speed from 2.2 GHz to 2.4 GHz. But besides clock speed, the processor also has many more performance tricks up its...
Despite 90 nm process technology, larger caches, 13 new instructionsand changes in its NetBurst architecture, the Prescott does not bring down the house. Additionally, Intel has begun shipping faster Pentium 4...
AMD has added 200 MHz to its latest Athlon64 processor, hoping that the Athlon64 3400+ will push the performance threshold up and beyond Intel's 3.2 GHz Pentium 4. Our 41 individual benchmarks show how the two...
If it's time to upgrade your CPU or to buy a new chipset, we offer our end-of-year Buyer's Guide. Here, we surveyed all available processors and identified our favorites in several categories based on...
Chip-con's cooling base broke clocking records. Now it's Athlon 64 FX-51's turn to show its stuff at 2.8 GHz.
Weeks of tests and sleepless nights: Performance analyses of AMD's Athlon 64 (Clawhammer) and Athlon 64 FX-51 (Sledgehammer) and Intel's P4 Extreme. We offer 46 benchmarks, including nForce3 150 and VIA K8T800...
The workstation version of the Xeon now has an additional L3 cache. Facing off: Dual Xeon 3.06 GHz with and without L3 cache. That begs the question - what good is it?
The clock speed of the Athlon XP is connected to the bus clock with a fixed multiplier, so that overclocking is only possible through an increase in the bus clock or other diverse tweaking methods on the...
Intel launches the last P4, with 3.2 GHz for FSB800 and Dual DDR400. Its rival AMD fights back with the Athlon XP 3200+ and Dual DDR400. With the Pentium 5 and Athlon 64 waiting in the wings, it's a historic...
Intel equips its 2.4 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz CPUs with FSB 800 and Hyperthreading. Highlights: 865PE delivers same power as 875P chipset. Revealed: MSI with FSB 880 on the test bench.
The Athlon XP 3200+ lays claim to the title of "Fastest Desktop CPU." But can it really beat the Intel P4 3 GHz? Should AMD change its model-numbering system? We take the beast for a spin and try to answer...
We pit AMD's Opteron against Intel's Xeon. We try to fathom the secret behind 64 bit computing. We'll supply extensive server and workstation benchmarks to give you some idea of what to expect in the 64 bit...
THG shows you what kind of performance Intel's next Pentium 4 chipset, called "Canterwood," will have to offer. A Granite Bay board, a 2.26 GHz Pentium 4 and AseTek's cooling technology made it possible for us...
After 300 hours of testing in the Tom's Hardware labs, we bring you a comparison of 65 CPUs - from the Pentium 100 to the latest Athlon XP 3000+. It's a monster review with 13 different CPU platforms.
AMD doubles its Athlon L2 cache. Now, the top of the line is the XP 3000+. Can it upset Intel's P4 3066? As a bonus: we'll overclock the Athlon XP 3000+ and see what other surprises it has in store for us.
Now you can bring your old Pentium III computer up to speed. With the help of one small device, even old systems can run at speeds up to 1.4 GHz! We invite you to look over our shoulder to see how this works...
