| New Intel Nocona Xeon vs. AMD Opteron |
|---|
Maybe this is the first review on one of those shiny new Nocona Xeon systems (Tumwater chipset, PCI-E, ... :o) and in case you missed that review, here it comes: the guy's over at hexus.net are running the competition between an Opteron workstation and a Nocona-Xeon workstation.
Sounds interesting? - blingbling! |

| New to be released ATI Catalyst driver requires .NET |
|---|
| According to this tidbit at The Inquirer the upcoming redesigned ATI Catalyst driver package requires Microsoft .NET to be installed. In my eyes this is bad news because .NET requires a fairly extensive registration where too much private information is given to Microsoft in order to accomplish the registration process. I really hope that there will be ways to circumvent this as soon as possible. |

| AMD Enters 90 NM zone |
|---|
Advanced Micro Devices says it has reached a chip manufacturing milestone that will lead to improvements across its range of processor offerings for PCs and servers.
The chipmaker confirmed on Tuesday that, as previously reported, it has begun manufacturing chips using its new 90-nanometer process, meeting a deadline set after earlier delays. At the same time, it revealed that the first of those processors to appear in a PC will be members of a family of low-power mobile Athlon 64 chips, due to show up in notebooks in "coming months," a company representative said.
Generally, shifting manufacturing processes--in this case moving from a 130-nanometer process to one that turns out chips whose average internal feature size is 90-nanometers--enables chipmakers to boost performance by packing more transistors into each chip. The shift can also cut costs and power consumption, depending on the design and other circumstances. |

| AMD's Budget CPU |
|---|
AMD has released a budget CPU similar to Intel's Celeron CPU.
The AMD "Sempron" includes all the same features such as,
-Lower FSB Speed
-Half the L2 Cache.
This is probably the same story as the celeron. Processors with bad cache are cut down and sold as budget CPUs.
Here's a link to one of the models. |
