Aw Nuts, Intel Core i7 2700K Won't Drive Down Price of 2600K Processor
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i7-2600K
Sorry folks, as much as we dislike being the bearer of bad news, sometimes it's inevitable. This is one of those cases. though it's not the end of the world. It appears as though Intel's upcoming Core i7 2700K processor isn't going to shove aside the Core i7 2600K at the $317 price point as previously rumored, and could cost as much as $350 at launch.

Intel's solar-powered CPU prototype
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technical Office, today showed off a prototype CPU with such a low power rating that it can run from a solar cell the size of a postage stamp.
Code-named Claremont the Pentium-class processor is capable of operating at less than 10mW and still run operating systems such as Linux or Windows.
"It's part of our long standing obsession with power reduction," said Intel CEO, Paul Otellini when he showed a sneak peak of the setup on Tuesday.
The huge power saving has been made possible by operating the transistors in the processor at near their threshold voltage.
The threshold voltage is the voltage at which the transistor turns on.
Today's processors operate at several...

Upgrading to Ivy Bridge to be blocked by UEFI changes?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Meanwhile VR Zone reports that current motherboards may not be compatible with Intel's forthcoming Ivy Bridge processors due to a UEFI related issue. If motherboard makers are unable to fix this problem it will be quite a disappointment as most vendors have gone out and said that their 6-series boards are compatible with Ivy Bridge.

AMD Ships First 'Bulldozer' Processors
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUAMD
AMD announced revenue shipments of the first processors based on its new x86 "Bulldozer" architecture. Initial production of the world's first 16-core x86 processor, codenamed "Interlagos," began in August and shipping to customers is already underway.
Compatible with existing AMD OpteronTM 6100 Series platforms and infrastructure, "Interlagos" is expected to launch and be available in partner systems in the fourth quarter of this year. Many of the initial shipments have been earmarked for large custom supercomputer installations that are now underway.

Intel Sued Over Atom Power Management Feature
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel used such a technology, called Speedstep, since 2000, but is now being asked to pay damages, license fees, and attorney's fees in a patent infringement suit.
The suit was filed by Frisco, Texas-based Power Management Systems, which claims rights to a patent that describes a "power management apparatus collocated on the same integrated circuit as the functional unit that it manages."

AMD sheds more light on Bulldozer processor architecture
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUAMD
AMD has disclosed a number of fresh details surrounding its upcoming Bulldozer processor cores, along with the AM3+ platform. Presentation slides show a Bulldozer die with eight AMD64 cores and 8MB of L2 cache, two 72-bit DDR3 memory channels and four 16-bit receive/16-bit transmit HyerTransport links. The new architecture splits eight cores across four Bulldozer modules, each with two integer cores and a floating point core.
The AM3+ socket architecture adds support for low-voltage DRAM, increased current for higher frequency HyperTransport connections and two memory channels. The sockets will be backwards-compatible with older AM3 processors, though it is designed for use with 9-Series ch...

Intel to Release New Itanium CPUs in 2012: New Architecture and Up to Eight Cores
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntel
Intel held a keynote at Hot Chips conference in Stanford University last week where it announced some details of upcoming Itanium CPUs. While originally meant to conquer the enterprise market, Itanium is mostly used for the ultra high end enterprise space. Itanium isn't backwards compatible with x86 and uses Intel's VLIW IA-64 architecture. Intel claims that Itanium is a four billion dollar business and more than 80% of world's top 100 companies utilize Itanium.
The codename for the new CPUs is "Poulson" and it is the 10th Itanium CPU lineup. The biggest updates are a new architecture, twice as many cores (up to eight), twice the instruction throughput and a 32nm process.

AMD has introduced three new Fusion APUs belonging to the E-series and C-series. The new processors include the E-450, E-300, and C-60, which will replace current models on its respective price points and power output specifications.
As we learned in our review last February, the AMD Fusion platform combines Bobcat cores together with GPU cores to create Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). The Bobcat cores are a significant step ahead of Intel's Atom as they're out-of-order 64-bit cores.
