  • 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 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 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 ...
