Quad-core Gaming Chips

Say you need some additional firepower for the latest online shooter and decide to assign three of the four cores of your Intel Quad Core CPU to that single application and run the rest of the applications on the remaining cpu core. That’s a valid scenario don’t you think? It does not have to be a game though, you could assign a cpu intense application to a core and the rest of the applications to another. SMP Seesaw (via Download Squad ) is the application that you are looking for if you...Read Full Story

From time to time in my writing I have made reference to Moore’s Law ; which, phrased simply, means “the power of computers doubles every 18 months” (some say two years). I like Moore’s Law– smaller, faster, double the power (and often, power consumption is lower too). Moore’s Law is most often comes up when speaking about CPU ’s (your computer’s “brain”). My first Intel computer ran a very good CPU– a 486 DX (at 133MHz [that's .1GHz]). It had a million transistor on it, and was considered...Read Full Story

Intel is scheduling to launch its first quad-core CPU for laptops, the Core 2 Extreme QX9300, in the 3rd quarter this year with pricing set at a novel high of US$1,038 in thousand-unit tray quantities, as per sources at motherboard makers. With the market insisting for top-level laptops still beneath the average, Intel expects the quad-core notebook CPUs will not turn out to be standard in the performance/majority notebook market until the 2nd half of 2009, and therefore it should not crash...Read Full Story

"Intel and Orange County Choppers combined their mutual know-how and created this monstrosity of a motorcycle—also known as Satan's ride. This isn't the Satan you know, this is the bad-ass futuristic Satan from 2046. The bike has four dual V-twin motors and multiple Intel quad-core processors. What are they for?"

Computers and Laptops AMD announced new A-Series desktop processors join a lineup that includes several mobile versions. To date it’s been tough to find real-world systems using the A-Series, but that is about to change. AMD has expanded its A-Series processor line with the first chips designed for desktops. The new chips join a lineup that includes seven mobile A-Series processors announced earlier this month. The A-Series, code-named Llano, is significant because it is AMD’s first processor...Read Full Story
