Four more Sandy Bridge-EP processors from Intel’s soon-to-be-unveiled Xeon E5 product series have been recently spotted in some official documents published by Fujitsu and ASRock.The chips were uncovered when a CPU-World reader came across the configuration page of the Fujitsu CELSIUS M720 system, which included the two Xeon E5-2600 SKUs that nobody had heard...
Intel will soon update its processor portfolio with some three new chips based on the Sandy Bridge architecture which, in a rather strange turn of events, will come with their on-board GPU disabled. The reasons behind Intel’s decision are not known at this point in time, but we suspect that the chip maker is...
Just a couple of weeks ago, we learned about AMD’s plans to introduce a new six-core processors based on the Bulldozer architecture, the FX-6200, and now it appears that this new CPU was made official by the Sunnyvale-based chip maker who has listed the new SKU on its website. Donanim Haber has spotted the...
Intel’s collaboration with Google seems to have led to more than just an x86 port of the Android operating system, as the chip maker has recently confirmed that its upcoming Medfield SoC will include a series of hardware optimizations specifically designed for this mobile OS. In a meeting with the Technology Review website, where...
Microsoft’s recent patch for AMD Bulldozer processors was expected to bring a significant performance boost to CPUs using this architecture, but early tests seem to suggest that in most cases the “fix” doesn’t deliver any benefits to systems using it. Soon after the patch was announced, SweClockers has started testing it to see how...
Even though Bulldozer has proven be to a disappointment for many, AMD isn’t going to let this architecture go and until the end of this year will release another FX-series CPU into the market, dubbed the FX-6200. Just as its name implies, AMD’s upcoming processor will feature three Bulldozer modules for a total of...
After the release of the Core i7-2700K, Intel is now working on another multiplier-unlocked Sandy Bridge part, this time from the Core i5 series, namely the i5-2550K, which is expected to arrive at about the same time as AMD’s next wave of FX-Series processors. This launch strategy would help Intel to better its position...
In the years to come Intel will go ahead with developing chips using its “tick-tock” model that was adopted by the company more than four years ago and the 2015 and 2016 processors to be revealed as the results of this strategy will be known as Skylake and Skymont. In Intel’s development model, each...
Now that Intel has launched its first desktop processors based on the high-performance Sandy Bridge-E architecture, the chip maker is racing to get out the Xeon version of these CPUs and the first benchmarks showing the performance of such an 8-core SKU have recently made their way to the Web. The chip is question...
With its latest Tegra out and about, NVIDIA is now getting ready to release its newest collection of GPUs, the so-called Kepler, which will, apparently, enter mass production shortly. The Kepler graphics processing units have been spoken of before, but they are only now turning into a physical reality. They aren’t going to start...
