In the wake of drastic Athlon 64 price reductions and the US$5.4 billion merger with ATI, AMD is making another competitive move against rival Intel, demonstrating its 4x4 platform aimed at dethroning Intel's quad-core line. The demonstration was a preemptive strike against Intel's dual-core chip re...
Advanced Micro Devices announced on Monday that it has slashed the prices of some of its products by more than half as the company continues to fight for market share against chief rival Intel. Price cuts included AMD's dual-core Athlon 64 X2 5000+, chopped from US$696 last quarter to $301, and the ...
This is becoming an interesting summer. As we cook under the effects of "mythical" global warming, tech vendors have been busy getting ready for the second half of the year. I've had a chance to review the multi-vendor FlexGo announcement and think there is a broader play here then we initially real...
Intel is looking to bounce back from its disappointing second quarter earnings report by beating its charging rival Advanced Micro Devices to market with a four-core processor later this year. AMD was able to beat Intel to market with its dual-core Opteron chips for x86 servers last year, and while ...
Intel officially introduced its Itanium 2 Processor 9000 "Montecito" family of high performance computing server processors at an event in Santa Clara, Calif., this week, claiming greater cost and energy efficiency compared to earlier chips. Intel said the new Itanium 2 chips, to be built into syste...
HP on Monday revealed a miniature wireless high-storage data chip that potentially could compete with RFID technology in the enterprise space and with Bluetooth in the consumer arena. The Memory Spot chip is roughly the size of a grain of rice with a built-in antenna and is based on CMOs -- a widely...
The summer is heating up for Intel as it prepares to propel three new products into the market in upcoming weeks. Intel's latest offerings include the Core 2 Duo chip for desktop PCs, Montecito chip for high-end servers and Merom chip for mobile notebooks. Shipment of the processors has already begu...
The US$600 million deal disclosed by Intel to sell its mobile phone microprocessor unit to Marvell Technology Group may only have a "minor" impact on the computer chip industry. Intel was never able to grow its presence beyond mere applications processors for Personal Digital Assistants. Handset o...
Taiwanese chipmaker Via Technologies late last week launched a new chipset that could drastically increase the performance and reduce the size of mobile devices and laptop computers. Via launched the Via VX700 chipset to complement its Via Ultra Mobile platform in Ultra Mobile PC devices. The Via VX...
It used to be that every few years, the business media would report on the latest "slump" in sales of flash memory semiconductors. This was a decades-long trend -- demand would "hot up," as the Brits say, when new PC sales soared, and drop as they dropped. The chipmakers' fortunes no longer parallel...
Intel rolled out its new server processors this week with hopes of stemming market gains by rival Advanced Micro Devices' popular Opteron server chips. Intel's new dual-core Xeon 5100s, previously codenamed "Woodcrest," are the first Core microprocessors to hit the market. They represent a big step ...
Intel this week signaled research advancements for its tri-gate transistor technology, indicating that along with other emerging methods and manufacturing, it has a technology trifecta lined up for tomorrow's energy efficient chips. Intel researchers said the technologies -- tri-gate insulation, hig...
Sales of semiconductors will grow by nearly 10 percent this year as demand for smartphones and other consumer gadgets drive chip consumption, according to a new industry forecast. In a report released Wednesday, the Semiconductor Industry Association said worldwide sales of chips would rise 9.8 perc...
Boy, the hits just keep on coming. Last week was no exception, with moves that further put to rest the idea that the tech market is dull and boring. Dell released four products in Los Angeles, two of which are some of the most aggressive ever to come from that company. Hewlett-Packard launched anoth...
Number two chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices has laid out an ambitious product roadmap, one that features it focusing on the growing market for notebook chips and increasing production overall as it bids to wrest still more market share away from Intel. AMD's roadmap relies heavily on continued produ...
