It's starting to look not so good for AMD. Aside from a few completely multi-threaded benchmarks, the new Core i3s with two cores are faster than the AMD A8s with four cores. It's no wonder AMD found itself forced to lower it prices again recently. The most high-end AMD Llano processor, the A8 3870K, is still cheaper than the Core i3s tested here. An AMD A6 processor you can buy for half the price of an i3.
In June Intel introduced its Haswell processors, but not all of them were released at the same time. The first dual-core Core i3 CPUs have now hit stores, and today we'll take a closer look at the Core i5 4440 and Core i3 4330. If you missed our original coverage of the fourth generation Core processors, you can find that here.
Processors like Core i3-2100 are in their right places in terms of both price and performance. In due time, we liked the Core i3-500 lineup very much. Now we like the Core i3-2000 one even more. We wish was bigger, however. But the noticeable price gap between Core i3-2120 and Core i3-2300 gives us hope that it may be expanded. Let's hope those new solutions will be as good.
Realtiv unbeachtet hat Intel vor wenigen Wochen auch „Sandy Bridge“-Prozessoren mit zwei statt vier Kernen vorgestellt. Core i3-2100 und 2120 sollen eine gute Performance zu kleinerem Preis und weiter gesenkter Leistungsaufnahme vorweisen können. Ob das Gesamtpaket am Ende stimmig ist, klärt wie immer unser ausführlicher Test.
Mit den „Sandy Bridge“ bedient Intel seit vier Monaten nicht nur die breite Masse, sondern auch bestimmte Nischen. Das 35-Watt-Modell 2100T ist eines dieser interessanten Rand-Produkte, soll es doch eine hohe Leistung mit einer sehr geringen TDP kombinieren. In der Vergangeheit waren die Kompromisse bei derartigen Vorhaben jedoch meist zu groß. Wir untersuchen, ob sich dies geändert hat.
Last week when we reviewed the AMD A-Series Llano A8-3850 APU we had some readers wanting to see more Intel Sandy Bridge processors in the benchmarks. One of the processors that we were asked about was the Intel Core i3-2120, which retails for $149.68 and is one of the most popular budget-minded processors in the Intel arsenal today. We heard you and have a retail boxed Intel Core i3-2120 processor to see how it performs against the Intel Core i3-2105, Core i5-2600k and the AMD A8-3850 APU!
What do you do when you can't sleep at 2 o'clock in the morning? I don't know about you, but these are the times where I would just take out my laptop and get some work done, so I can slack off during the day. As I type away on by brand new Lenovo ThinkPad T420 I got just a few days ago to replace my beloved but aging -- and unfortunately, murdered by Yours Truly -- ThinkPad T400, let's talk about the idea of 'change' at this unholy hour of writing. Change is consistently happening in the world around us. Whether it be the Obama '08 campaign slogan or the recent news of Osama bin Laden's death in Pakistan carried out by members of the United States Navy SEALs, one thing we can draw from our observations can be be rounded up by one famous quote: "Change is certain, progress is not". I'll let you ponder this in a political and human progress context -- but in the technology world, change is progress, right? My recent upgrade from the T400 with a Core 2 Duo P8600, 8GB RAM, Radeon 3470 hybrid switchable graphics, and 9-cell battery to a brand new T420 with a Core i5-2520M, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA NVS4200M with Optimus, and a 9-cell battery is an unquestionable change and progress on paper. Faster number crunching? Check. Better battery life? Check. Plays games? Check, and add a 'surprisingly well' to that, too. But better screen? Not with the infamously griddy AUO display I got to experience first hand. What I am trying to say is, while the "change-is-certain-progress-is-not" attitude generally do not apply to the world of technology, this is not always... certain. It is true when we reviewed the Intel Core i5-2500K earlier this year, change was certain, and progress is unquestionable. But what about its little brother, the $138 Intel Core i3-2120? Did we make progress despite the fact you can't overclock this little monster? To answer this question, we took one into our labs here at APH Networks today, and see how well this CPU -- where its formula of taking an i5-2500, keep its clock speed, chop off two cores, half the cache, delete Turbo Boost, and add Hyper-Threading, performs against the current enthusiast favorite, along with the i5-750 of the last generation.
As interesting as the third generation of Intel Core integrated processor graphics (IPG) were when they arrived in April, as home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts it was disappointing that the more applicable two core/four thread models were not available. We gleaned what we could about the minor processing improvements and major changes to the graphic processing unit (GPU) from the Core i7-3770K / Core i7-3770S, but as those were overkill for this space there are still many unanswered questions around how the six execution unit (EU) HD 2500 compares to sixteen EU HD 4000 and, perhaps more importantly, how 22nm Ivy Bridge (IVB) CPUs compare against the previous generation of Sandy Bridge (SNB) IPG with similar power requirements. To achieve these goals two 3.3 GHz, 55W Core i3s were tested; with only the GPU separating them – at least on the specifications sheet – let’s dig into the Intel Core i3-3220 and Intel Core i3-3225 and find out which is the better option for your next HTPC.
The long awaited and much anticipated Sandy Bridge architecture from Intel hit the ground running at CES just 2 weeks ago. This architecture promises better overall performance, the latest version of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, and great overclocking potential. Not only does this 2nd Gen series of processors offer a bump in speed but the integration of graphics chip and CPU has improved drastically. Come join us as we detail the latest offering from Intel's CPU lineup.
Intel hat in letzter Zeit mit der Core i5 und Core i7 Serie für Furore gesorgt, hat man es doch geschafft ein rundes Produkt auf den Markt zu bringen, das seitens Preis-/Leistung zum größten Teil überzeugt. Nun kommt der nächste Streich und dieses Mal schlägt man tatsächlich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe, allerdings nur zwei- statt vierkernig. Erstmalig bringt ein Hersteller nun einen Dual-Core-Prozessor mit Grafikprozessor auf den Markt und schafft damit neue Möglichkeiten für das Low- und Medium-Preissegment, sowie in Zukunft auch für Mobile-Computing. Wir haben uns daher für den Intel Core i5 661 entschieden und werden ihm im folgenden Review auf den Zahn fühlen.
