Intel has spent millions making their "Core" brand synonymous with high performance processing. In these days of the Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Core 2 Extreme, it’s pretty easy to find a ...

Dual core processors work best when software can run in parallel on them. So-called 'multithreaded applications' benefit from an additional CPU core because subroutines can be allocated to different ...

Intel, last year, announced that it was ending the Pentium and Celeron brandings for laptops and notebooks. Interestingly, the company may be planning to go a similar route on desktops too. In case ...

Another month passes and another couple of processors are released by either Intel or AMD. The last two months have been rather busy on the CPU front. Both rivals launched their own dual-core, ...

What would the results of a dual-core desktop CPU fight look like? Many people equate Windows PCs with Intel Pentium processors (and soon will likely be doing the same with Macs), but we've seen ...

Historically, Intel’s low-power, high-efficiency Pentium series consists of a dual-core processor family with one crucially lacking factor: Hyper-Threading. Since the early 2000s, the Santa Clara ...

Last week, we reviewed Intel's Core i7-7700K and discussed the details on the Kaby Lake refresh cycle, including Intel's new Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. Intel, however, appears to have had one ...

Intel has now released its new dual-core processor, the Pentium D, for use in desktop PCs. New features of the dual-core Pentium D and the Intel 945 Express chipset consist of HD video and highly ...

If a single word sums up Intel's thoughts on CPU design in 2005 it would have to be parallelism. The incumbent Pentium 4 Prescott, for a variety of reasons, hasn't scaled to the kind of clockspeed ...

If you're old enough then you'll remember the GHz race of the day between Intel and AMD, the race towards 1000MHz (1GHz) was a huge deal... and then we went to dual-core CPUs, and the Pentium brand ...

Extra processing power also lets users multitask more effectively. For example, one core could be used for surfing the Web, while the second core is handling an anti-virus scan. (Processor affinity ...

Not that long ago we reviewed the $60 Athlon 200GE CPU and we've been wanting to come back to it for more, but it's been a hectic October with must-have coverage that included the RTX 2070, the Core ...
