Apple To Drop Intel Chipsets

Lately, there were some rumors that pointed to a change that Apple could make and this is that Apple might replace Intel chipsets with AMD or VIA chipsets for their products. Some consider this very unlikely, but so far nobody explained why. Also, nobody said to us why this change would be good and why it would help Apple.

This is probably why Jon Stokes from Ars Technica decided to make it clear for us and from start he makes it very clear to us that he is “skeptical” and this switch would not be healthy for Apple. First, Jon wonders where will Apple use the chipsets - desktops, laptops, or even in both

In Tom's Hardware Guide's review early last week of a Core Duo-based notebook with Intel's 945 PM chipset and ATI's dedicated X1600 GPU, our test engineers reported stumbling across a mysterious power consumption issue. The unit tested showed abnormally high power consumption, which at first, they believed could be attributable to the Core Duo processor itself, with the high-performance graphics system being an alternate candidate.

Slowing spending on computers saw Intel profits

Intel shares rose 2.1% in after-hours trading with investors relieved the results were no worse than feared.



The severity of the drop was driven in part by a $1bn writedown in the value of Intel's investment in Clearwire Corp.



Clearwire works on a new type of wireless broadband that Intel is building into its chips - but there are fears that the credit crunch will impede its business plans.

What do a poor farmer in a remote village in Africa and a rich business man

Historically, the main usage of wireless data-transfer was voice communication. As wireless communication standards evolved to become digital (Wi-Fi or GSM), voice has become one among several more bandwidth consuming (broadband) applications such as high definition video or games. Many wireless IP (internet protocol) network standards try to satisfy the increasing demand for more bandwidth in more locations while on the move.

Intel Corporation has unveiled intel Dual-Core Intel Itanium 9100 series processors.

It's new line up of Dual core processors 9100 series Built for managing high-end applications and armed with advanced features that improve reliability and reduce power consumption. The sixth generation of Itanium platforms mission-critical support is strengthened by a new feature called Core Level Lock-Step that improves the data integrity and reliability of applications by eliminating undetected errors in the core. The 9100 line up provides up to 1.66GHz clock speed, 667MHz FSB, and 104W power rating.Intel Core i7 CPU & DX58SO X58 Platform

Intel Core i7 CPU & DX58SO X58 Platform

We at Benchmark Reviews consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been chosen by Intel as one of those review sites to showcase the Core i7 prior to its official launch. Once chosen our dilemma was how to best convey the myriad of information we ascertained to our readers. Obviously the best plan would be to release one all encompassing review of the entire product line. Because of time constraints this plan was impossible. After much deliberation we decided our best recourse was to present a series of reviews on this product line. In today's segment we will cover an overview of the technological aspects of the Core i7 processor series and the X58 motherboard that supports it. We'll test all three of the processors using a succinct series of benchmarks run a stock processor speeds and draw the necessary conclusions from their results. What else is left you might ask? Believe me when I say that's only scratching the surface. In future reviews we'll concentrate on individual product components and expound in much greater detail on that product's performance capabilities including overclocking.
