"This time around AMD has a significant flexibility advantage over Intel on its offerings below the $100 mark, but the question remains: how do they compare performance-wise?"

"The AMD Athlon II X4 635 is the fastest quad-core processor in the Athlon II series with its overall clock frequency of 2.9GHz. With a street price of $127 and just a 100MHz boost over its predecessor is the Athlon II X4 635 worth it? Read on to see how it performs in the benchmarks and to see how it handles being overclocked on our AMD 785G test system."

"It costs $113 but with minimal effort you can reach 4GHz with the stock cooler. At those speeds (and at stock) it's a great CPU for gamers. We update you on Clarkdale and review Intel's first real answer to the Athlon II and Phenom II X2."

"AMD's pricing department has struck gold. Armed with a brand new die, the Athlon II X4 620 performs like a $160 CPU but at 60% of the cost. This is the best budget quad-core CPU on the market."

"As you can guess, it pits one CPU from each manufacturer that retails for $50 at most online shops. In this case, it’s the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (2.2 GHz) taking on the Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 (1.6 GHz)

Of course, simply comparing them would be boring, and pretty much useless for our readers. After all, who in their right mind would run a $50 CPU at stock speed? Nobody, that’s who! That’s why we overclocked each processor as far as it would go, and compared them at those speeds."

"We test the latest 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo "Wolfdale" E8500, E8400 and E8200 processors to see how they compare to other popular, sub £200 CPUs from Intel's 65nm Core 2 line and AMD's Athlon X2 and Phenom lines."

"AMD's first quad-core is now available for mass consumption and faster Phenom 9900 parts will be available starting early in 08. Today we look at three speed grades of Phenom, 9500, 9700 and 9900 and compare them to an Intel QX6700."

"A lot of people have been slagging 64-bit Operating Systems like Vista, saying the only benefit is a true 4GB of RAM. So we decided to cut through the BS and anti-Microsoft sentiment and look at the real pros and cons of 64-bit computing."

"We've been claiming that recent price cuts have made now a great time to buy. We're putting our money where our mouth is and benchmarking just about every CPU cheaper than $133. To make matters more interesting, we're looking at affordable integrated graphics boards for users who aren't building gaming boxes."

"AMD Rumoured to Unveil AMD Phenom X3 with Three Cores."

"There are countless companies in the computer industry but there is only one battle that counts... AMD vs. Intel. This is a favorite topic in the forums, yet instead of blindly pledging allegiance to one CPU or the other, let's take a look behind the scenes and find out which companies processor is the best bet."

"While AMD keeps postponing the launch of their quad-core processors to the end of this year – beginning of next, Intel Company is offering very affordable quad-core CPUs from Core 2 Quad family. However, can Core 2 Quad processors be regarded as a worthy alternative to popular dual-core solutions?"

"For a while there we wondered how Intel would introduce Penryn into its lineup, but as of Intel's last roadmap update we now know. On top of that, we managed to get our hands on a dual-core Penryn so now we know exactly how fast the new core is going to be. Combine the two datapoints and there's a wealth of knowledge to share. So gather 'round the fire, it's time to benchmark CPUs."
