The Core i5 3570K processor revisited
|
 1.html,Many moons ago we have shared performance of this processor with you already, but over time benchmarks have been updated repositioning the processor. Now we know a lot of people have a hard time overclocking these processors even over 4300 MHz, so as such these are all good reasons to retest this processor we say. So today a standalone review on the Ivy bridge architecture based Core i5 3570K where we`ll learn you how to take it towards 4700 MHz as well."

AMD wants to set the record straight on its future GPU strategy
|
|
So what can you expect for the future? Sea Islands chips will continue to be released and eventually in the desktop, channel market and some of them will be branded as 7000-series parts and some of them will be branded as 8000-series parts. They wouldn`t give us information on whether or not you`ll see BIGGER chips (which we would assume would be faster) than the current HD 7900 cards or if they would all be in the mainstream segment."

[Tech ARP] Mobile CPU Comparison Guide Rev. 9.4
|
|
There are so many mobile CPU models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different models or even remember their specifications! Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various mobile CPUs in the market, as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete. Currently covering *803 mobile CPUs*, this comprehensive comparison will allow you to easily compare *up to 19 different specifications*for each and every CPU! Here are the latest updates in Revision 9.3 : *- Added the Intel Core i7-3687U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i7-3540M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i7-3537U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i5-3437U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i5-3380M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i5-3340M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i5-3337U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i5-3230M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i3-3227U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i3-3130M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Core i3-2348M dual-core processor.*"

ARM-based microserver vendors
|
|
The server market is at a potential inflection point, with a new breed of ARM-based microserver vendors challenging the status quo, particularly for cloud computing. We survey 20 modern processors to understand the options for alternative architectures. To achieve disruptive performance, microserver vendors must deeply specialize in particular workloads. However, there is a trade-off between differentiation and market breadth. As the handful of microserver startups are culled to 1-2 viable vendors, only the companies which deliver compelling advantages to significant markets will survive.

Dual-Core CPUs Drive Modern Graphics Cards?
|
|
A few weeks back, we examined whether a new GPU like the GeForce GTX 660 could breathe new life into an older quad-core gaming system built in mid 2008. The answer, we concluded, was definitely yes -- but many of you of you asked us to reconsider the question, this time using a dual-core Core 2 Duo.
We've done so. And just for fun, we've added overclocked CPU results into the mix as well.

NZXT Kraken X40 Liquid Cooler review
|
|
1.html,NZXT recently unleashed the Kraken X40 liquid cooler, we test and review it. The Kraken X40 is a 140mm radiator based LCS unit that offers pretty solid performance numbers as you are about to find out. Combined with a cooling infrastructure provided by Asetek this all-in-one and easy to install kit can even be connected towards your PC through USB, where you can monitor and regulate the LCS unit and apply presets to make the LCS unit either silent, or high performance."

Linux 3.2 To 3.8 Kernels With Intel Ivy Bridge Graphics
|
|
With the Intel Haswell product launch coming up soon, here`s a look at how the Intel Ivy Bridge HD 4000 graphics support has matured on the seven most recent Linux kernel releases. This benchmarking shows how the performance of the Intel DRM driver has changed between the Linux 3.2 kernel and the Linux 3.8 kernel that`s presently under development when using the integrated graphics found on the latest-generation Core i7 CPU."

Intel’s Next Unit of Computing Review
|
|
Intel decided to give it a shot in the ultra-compact desktop systems market. And they immediately came up with a unique product: a miniature system case only 12x11x4 cm in size based on Core i3 processor. It boasts a truly impressive combination of features, but does it make practical sense to give us a large desktop box in favor of a tiny guy like that?
