• Intel or Nvidia? nForce 680i Challenges Intel P965 and 975X*
  Tuesday 19 December 2006 – 10:31
  Motherboards with Nvidia's nForce 680i chipset are now hitting the shelves, so we decided it was time for a chipset battle. The goal? To find out what is the best solution for your Core 2 Duo system.
• Intel Roadmap News 10/2000: Part Two, Intel's Future Mobile and Server/Workstation Products*
  Monday 16 October 2000 – 07:00
  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.
• Intel's 64 bit Lye (Omid needs to apologize to AMD users)*
  Friday 20 February 2004 – 06:00
  There is a fine distinction, that often blurs, between misrepresenting the truth and lying, both on a legal and ethical scale. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton best illustrated the fine line on a Homeresque level during his alleged "legally accurate" statement that he never had sexual relations with his former intern Monica Lewinsky. This week, there was a huge disparity between what Intel announced and the subsequent noise about how Intel is finally jumping on board 64 bit computing.
• Intel's Next Paper Release: The Pentium III at 1133 MHz*
  Monday 31 July 2000 – 07:00
  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's Big Kick Off: 925XE Chipset and P4EE 3.46 GHz*
  Monday 1 November 2004 – 06:00
  While the latest Extreme Edition P4 Processor is fairly well-known, the big news today is Intel's accelerated 925XE chipset at FSB1066, which many people consider to be the next BX. We put some final motherboards to the test.
• Intel's 925XE: Does Beating the 1 GHz FSB Barrier Matter?*
  Tuesday 12 October 2004 – 07:00
  We managed to secure early samples of Intel's P4 Extreme Edition 925XE chipset, complete with a 1,066 MHz speed FSB. So while the 1 GHz FSB speed barrier gets beaten, our benchmark course unmasks whether or not Intel's yet-to-be launched device is really something to get excited about.
• Intel's 865/875 Superior Performance Song Remains the Same*
  Monday 12 July 2004 – 07:00
  The truth remains more evident than ever. As we documented last month, Intel's socket LGA 775 "platform of the future" does not match the performance of its previous line of 865/875 chipsets for socket 478. We now back our conclusion with an exhaustive battery of tests on no less than 16 mobos in combination with 13 memory modules.
• Is Intel's New CPU Identification for Data Security Only a Marketing Gag?*
  Friday 22 January 1999 – 06:00
  Straight after I read about Intel's new plans to ensure higher data security over the Internet for e-commerce by implementing a identification number into their upcoming CPUs starting with Pentium III
• Intel's Xeon Shows Its Stuff in 7 Motherboards*
  Thursday 11 November 2004 – 06:00
  After getting whipped by AMD Opteron's performance specs during the past few months, a crop of Intel Xeon mobos offers possibilities that AMD doesn't. Will seven Socket 604 motherboards with features like SATA-II, PCI Express and DDR2 help Intel get its Xeon off the ropes?
• Intel's CPU Heat Gets Watered Down*
  Friday 15 October 2004 – 07:00
  Installing CPU water-cooling systems makes sense on paper, but most solutions are a real pain to set up. Intel reference cooler supplier Sanyo Denki steps up to the plate with what it says is a kinder and gentler setup.
• Intel's Pentium Performance Hangs on a Hyper-Thread*
  Monday 2 December 2002 – 06:00
  Does Hyper-Threading signal the end of the Megahertz race? We take a look at how it works, and what the impact may be on the CPU wars.
• Intel vs. AMD: Celeron 1300 vs. Duron 1200*
  Thursday 3 January 2002 – 06:00
  Intel turns up the heat in the low-cost segment. The Celeron is now available with 1300 MHz - is the AMD Duron 1200 still faster?
• Intel preps five 45 nm dual- and quad-core processors*
  Saturday 27 January 2007 – 06:05
  Intel shows off its tech horsepower, revealing more details about its upcoming 45 nm CPU generation: Penryn, a processor core that will replace the current 65 nm Core 2 processors, uses a new transistor technology to boost performance and reduce power consumption. The Penryn quad-core will carry a stunning 820 million transistors. Extra: Image Gallery
• Intel's 955X Dual-Core Chipset Better For Business Users Than NVidia's nForce4*
  Wednesday 29 June 2005 – 07:00
  With dual core processing support, a faster DDR2 controller, more PCI-Express lines, RAID5 and Active Management, Intel clearly threw in everything it had in the design of its latest high-end chipset. But does the 955X really cut it vis-à-vis its ambitious specs?
• Intel's New Weapon: Pentium 4 Prescott*
  Sunday 1 February 2004 – 06:00
  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 processors based on the tried-and-market-tested Northwood core, with the 3.4 GHz Extreme Edition at the very top.
