  • Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 - quad-core at almost 3GHz

    9 April 2007, 05:01

    The £600+ asking price will give you class-leading performance, sure, but only if you can fully exploit the 4 execution cores by routinely engaging in heavy multitasking.

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ AM2

    20 February 2007, 21:57

    Bottom line - the online pricing is realistic and the AM2 form factor makes a lot more sense than the Socket-F Quad-FX, yet K8-class technology just does not have the ...

  • AMD QuadFX pushed to the limit... and beyond

    18 January 2007, 08:59

    HEXUS establishes whether AMD's QuadFX can hand out a beating to Intel's own quad-core offering - and how does QuadFX shape up to Intel's dual-core X6800?

  • AMD's '4x4' Quad-FX platform unveiled and benchmarked

    30 November 2006, 07:16

    Four is now the magic number. Forget dual-core and twin graphics cards in SLI or CrossFire mode - they're so last month...

  • Intel Conroe Core 2 Duo/Extreme Processors

    14 July 2006, 05:00

    Intel, then, has moved the goalposts as far as consumer-level CPUs are concerned. Its low-end Core 2 Duo parts are more than a match for anything that has come before ...

  • Intel's Conroe spanks AMD FX-62's botty - for real!!

    23 May 2006, 05:01

    There's no real need for a summary. The benchmarks tell all. Intel's Conroe outmuscles every current consumer CPU. Would you buy an AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 now? K8-L can't come ...

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-60

    10 January 2006, 04:45

    There's not much suspense to hold with this new CPU. The mystique of whether or not the next Athlon 64 FX would be single or dual core was dashed a ...

  • Intel Extreme Edition 955 Processor

    27 December 2005, 16:10

    The days of performance single-core CPUs are numbered, even for gamers, with the likes of ATI and NVIDIA investing in multi-CPU driver support that makes better use of the parallel ...

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-57

    27 June 2005, 00:00

    Put simply: if you want the fastest x86 processor on the planet, measured using games and single-threaded benchmarks, the FX-57 should be the only thing on your shopping list.

  • Intel Pentium 4 670 and Pentium D 820

    26 May 2005, 00:00

    To state the obvious, where the Pentium D 820 thrives in is in multi-threaded applications that take full advantage of both its cores concurrently. When that happens, its performance beats ...

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+

    9 May 2005, 00:00

    The key things to take from today's look at the 4800+ is that it's generally no slower, but generally no faster either, than an FX-53 in single-threaded tests, yet it'll ...

  • Intel's Pentium Extreme Edition 840 and 955X Express chipset

    4 April 2005, 00:00

    Whether or not it\'s worth ditching your present system for the obvious benefits of dual-core computing is entirely dependant on your application usage. The Pentium XE 840, whilst hugely impressive ...

  • Intel's Pentium-M 735 Processor and DFI 855GME Motherboard

    31 March 2005, 00:00

    Performance wise, there\'s one thing that stands out from the analysis and observation of P-M\'s scaling with nothing more than its base frequency: it\'s crying out for core logic to ...

  • Intel's Prescott-2M: Pentium 4 660 and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz

    21 February 2005, 00:00

    And it\'s that 64-bit ability of Prescott-2M that\'s its main selling point, rather than any performance to be gained by the double-sized L2 cache, compared to Prescott-1M. I missed out ...

  • AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Winchester)

    6 December 2004, 00:00

    A 600MHz overclock is typical of current Athlon 64 Winchester 3000+s, and I see very little reason why you can't at least replicate what's been achieved in this review. Remember, ...

  • Intel Pentium 4 570J

    15 November 2004, 00:00

    In summary, it\'s very hard to recommend the Pentium 4 570J when the competition, AMD, is currently doing so well. I\'d either opt for a cheaper 5xx model and overclock ...

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 and Model 3800+ socket-939 CPUs

    1 June 2004, 00:00

    The bottom line is very simple. AMD\'s delivered performance in spades with its new Socket-939 processors; performance that makes Intel\'s Pentium 4s look impotent in comparison. We await Intel\'s response ...

  • Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott

    9 May 2004, 00:00

    Indifferent performance, heat problems, lack of S478 upgrade potential, and strained availability, at the end, all count against a recommendation for the Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott processor. Looking at the ...
