While both AMD and Intel praised their new chips to heavens' high, reality seems to look different: in a chat with founder of GigaOM, Facebook VP blasted AMD and Intel.

During Computex, we sat down with Intel and talked about the future high-end platforms from Intel. One such potential platform is Skulltrail 2, based upon a dual-socket 8-core Nehalem-EX.

Intel's Sean Malone and Francois Piednoel left little to be desired for: demonstrating air-cooled 5GHz Core i7 975 CPU, explaining i975 cherry picking, Core i5 Turbo modes, quad-core notebook platforms and many more.

AMD used Day Zero of Computex Taipei 2009 to announce its Opteron 2400 series, a sexa-core processor formerly known as Istanbul. But, where's the announced server/workstation platform?

BSN* was one of the few media invited to San Francisco for Intel's conference on their octa-core Nehalem-EX server. We bring you the low-down on the final nail in AMD's coffin - Intel's ace for the 4S and 8S high-end market.

AMD's ace for 2010 comes in the form of 12-core Multi-Chip Module codenamed Magny-Cours, a rather boring racetrack in France. But unlike the racetrack, Magny-Cours architecture is rather interesting...

A biased journalist claimed that Mac will save you $600 over a PC for work in Adobe's Photoshop. We decided to check that claim as it just happened that we needed a machine for Photoshop and Premiere.

The company that designs and manufactures power circuitry on a lot of graphics cards, notebooks, servers and desktops is showing signs of market recovery with better-than-expected 1Q'09 results.

AMD will release its financial results on coming Thursday. After two years of hearing about massive losses from the company - it seems that we have at least six more months of bad results. Expect yet another loss.

Nehalem-EP platform is a major improvement in compatibility between desktops, workstations and servers by allowing high performance desktop memories for Core i7 to work smoothly in its dual CPU Nehalem-EP brethren.

On March 30th, 2009 Intel will introduce its "Gainestown" workstation platform. We test the most powerful setup: 3.2 GHz CPU, 48GB of memory, four Enterprise SSD drives in RAID0...

Buying memory upgrades from Apple can be compared to root canal cleaning. You know you'll feel screwed afterwards.

First two parts of our adventure with 3.2 GHz Nehalem-EP are over, now it is time to show you hard numbers. Part 3 brings the initial set of benchmarks.

Following our first preview article, we continue today with article focusing on the BIOS options, as well as the initial Vista 64 findings on this huge 48 GB machine before going into the benchmark realm in the Tuesday's Part 3.
