Intel overclock-friendly CPUs in near future?

In the ongoing processor battle between AMD and Intel, some users pick their chips based on how easy to overclock they are.  In recent years AMD have arguably held that crown, with only Intel’s Extreme Edition CPUs being particularly overclock-friendly (at least officially), but according to Intel chipset marketing chief Steve Peterson that could change soon.  He’s said that Intel are “considering new affordable models to introduce overclocking,” likely a new Clarkdale or Lynnfield processor range

AMD Fusion CPU/GPU combo to fight Intel in notebooks

We have been hearing talk from both AMD and Intel for a while now about CPUs that have integrated GPUs allowing a notebook to get graphics and processing power from one device rather than needing a separate CPU and GPU. AMD has revealed its Llano processor and the chipmaker is calling the device an application processor unit or APU rather than the CPU or GPU monikers we are used to in the computer world. The APU will feature a DirectX 11 compatible GPU with a quartet of out-of-order CPU cores shoehorned into a 32nm processor die.

ATI Radeon HD 5450 focuses on multimedia features, neglects gaming

It’s rare to see a rumor — hell, even a roadmap — pinpoint the timing of new releases quite so accurately, but our earlier report of ATI refreshing the middle and lower parts of its lineup turned out to be bang on. Following in the footsteps of the HD 5670 , we have the Radeon HD 5450, which drags the entry price for DirectX 11 and Eyefinity multi-monitor support all the way down to $50

AMD launches new Phenom II and Athlon II CPUs right onto the test bench

Hot on the heels of its first quarterly profit in three years ( thanks to Intel , strangely enough), AMD is launching a new pair of desktop processors today that hit for under a buck twenty (amongst a few others). The $99 Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition is the company’s quickest dual-core desktop CPU to date at 3.2GHz, while the Athlon II X4 635 is expected to be one of the least expensive quad-core chips around. Both slabs of silicon hit the test bench over the weekend, and as you may expect, no one was particularly blown away

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e gets reviewed: decent on outside, sluggish on inside

Lenovo prompted a few raised eyebrows when they introduced what’s basically a CULV ultraportable into their ThinkPad range with the new X100e , leading to all manner of questions as to whether an AMD Athlon Neo processor could satisfy the business segment.  Over at Netbooked they’ve been reviewing the single-core 1.6GHz ThinkPad X100e, and while the physical design shouldn’t cause too many sleepless nights for long-time Lenovo lovers, performance leaves plenty to be desired
