  LG had expressed its intention to develop processor for mobile devices in the past and they’ve taken the first step towards it by licensing processor technology from ARM. LG seems to have taken inspiration from its Korean counterpart, Samsung who also develops processors for their high-end devices. Anyways, under the agreement, LG Electronics will [...]

  Intel today released a new Atom processor based on its Oak Trail platform. The Atom Z670 is packed with features that is said to benefit mobile devices like tablets and netbooks. The Atom Z670 is 60 percent smaller than previous Atom generations and promises to deliver improved video playback, internet browsing without compromising on [...]

  Marvell has created a new Applications Processor that makes dual-core 1.5GHz CPUs kind of old. They’ve created ARMADA 628 which is the world’s first System-on-Chip (SoC) tri-core processor running at 1.5GHz. The ARMADA 628 is targeted at high-end smartphones and tablets and touts impressive performance with low power consumption and longer battery life. Marvell [...]

  ARM has achieved a great breakthrough in the mobile devices processor market with the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor. The new CPU gives 5x better performance as compared to ARM’s previous Cortex-A8 processors and has the capability to be clocked at 2.5GHz. ARM is making this processor available for licensing to OEMs and has confirmed to [...]

  Intel’s powerful Core processors are now available for ultrathin laptops. The range includes the Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 CPUs with Hyper-boost (Core i7 and Core i5) that promise to give the much needed performance without compromising on the battery life. These new processors are based on 32nm process that make the [...]

  Intel is gearing up to launch new processors targeted at the netbook market. According to Digitimes, Intel is looking to unveil a new set of Atom processors supporting DDR3 memory and a dual-core Atom CPU. The DDR3 supporting processors will be N455, N475 – clear successors of N450 and N470 whereas the dual-core offering [...]

  AMD today announced a range of Athlon II processors including the first triple-core processors. The three-core CPUs help to fill the price and performance void which is created by the dual- and quad-core CPUs. The triple-core procs run at clock speed ranging from 2.2GHz to 2.9GHz and operating at TDP up to 95W. The [...]

  Intel introduced the new 45nm based Core i5 and two Core i7 processors yesterday. Codenamed as Lynnfield, the Nehalem based Core i5 750 is the smaller sibling of Core i7 900 series CPUs that clocks at 2.66GHz with an ability to overclock up to 3.2GHz. It also has 8MB cache with 1333MHz FSB, TDP [...]

  Motherboard manufacturers have apparently spilled the beans on the future plans of Intel. According to them, Intel is planning to launch couple of Celeron, Atom chips and one Core i7 processor. Celeron CPUs will be 45nm based from the E3000 Series running at 2.4GHz (E3200) and 2.5GHz (E3300) respectively. Celeron E3000 Series will mostly [...]

  Intel is planning to release the successor of N270 Atom processor, reports Digitimes. N450 aka Pine Trail is expected to take the helm as early as October from N270 and N280 that power majority of the netbooks currently. Pine Trail CPUs are based on 45nm process and use a 2-chip architecture to integrate graphics [...]

  The whole world is yet to embrace Core i7 processors but that hasn’t kept Intel down as they have added couple more to the i7 matrix. It’s the 975 Extreme Edition taking the world’s fastest processor crown and 950 that sits in between the already available mid-range 940 and 965. The Core i7 950 [...]

  Intel reckons ultra-thin notebooks are the future and to cater to the new segment, they have unveiled an ultra-low voltage (ULV) processor and a chipset. The single-core SU2700 processor in conjunction with the GS40 Express Chipset will give performance, better battery life in a slim form factor. The processor clocks at 1.3GHz while the [...]

  Intel plans to add a couple of ultra low voltage (ULV) processors to its existing consumer ULV line. The two processors – Core 2 Duo SU9600 and Core 2 Solo SU3500 will be available by the end of March and runs at a clock speed of 1.6GHz and 1.4GHz respectively. Intel will also be [...]

  The feud between Nvidia and Intel has been intense over the past and this week. We have seen Intel suing Nvidia, bad mouthing Ion platform while Nvidia was busy seeking new friends for Ion. Now Nvidia has come back again to give a fitting reply to the loose claims made by Intel. It looks [...]

  Nvidia’s relationship with Intel relationship is on the verge of a breakup, but before the GPU maker starts searching for love, they have found it already – in VIA. Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia has confirmed that Nvidia is on the way to produce ION 2 platform that will support Via Technologies’ Nano processor. [...]
