Intel Yonah Performance Preview - Part I: The Exclusive First Look at Yonah "At 2.0GHz, Yonah is basically equal to, if not slightly slower than an Athlon 64 X2 running at the same clock speed in virtually all of the tests we ran. The important distinction here is that Intel is able to achieve that level of performance, without an on-die memory controller. But there is also one more thing to note, Yonah can offer that level of performance with significantly lower power consumption." For those keeping score at home, that would be equal to an Athlon64 3800+ X2

Arctic Cooling Accelero X2 VGA Cooler Review "As you can see in the above pictures the Accelero X2 design kicks major ass, and adds beauty and a touch of class to the card. For those of you with a side window in your case this is a major plus. The Accelero X2 is also much thinner than the stock X1800 heat sink, which proves to be critical when running two X1800 cards in Crossfire since it provides more space for the air to circulate. So in regards to design Arctic Cooling did well. But does it perform well too? Find it out on the next page."

AMD Opteron 170 Review "We thought it would be interesting to find out how the Opteron 170 stacks up, and how far it can be pushed with just air cooling. Why? Because if even half the legends about the 939 Opterons are true, it may just make an excellent upgrade chip, or the basis for a solid new gaming rig."

ATI's Single-PCB Dual-GPU Plans "ATI’s upcoming RV560 and RV570 will find its way into single-board, dual-GPU CrossFire configurations. Since the GPU cores have integrated composite engines, the cards are capable of Crossfire support directly on the card."

AMD Demonstrates 4x4 Enthusiast System "This morning, the home office of AMD demonstrated a 4x4 enthusiast system, affectionately referred to as the “Quad Father”, running a variety of different multi-threaded applications. Among the demonstrations given, Half Life 2 was run while playing MP3 audio and MPEG4 video running in the background. AMD, in an attempt to appeal to the entire enthusiast market (not just the high-end enthusiast market) , promised dual CPU bundles for well below $1,000. AMD says they are targeting what they call the Mega-tasking enthusiast, those of us who use their machines for everything, all the time. Hopefully this little nugget of infor…

Windows Vista for Gamers: Graphics Card Performance Preview "Windows Vista Beta 2 can’t be used for playing games because it is just incompatible with many titles and leads to a considerable performance hit in others. This is at least true for the currently available beta version of ATI’s graphics card driver. Windows Vista allows using the ordinary driver, written in the Windows XP framework (XPDM), but that driver does not have even the basic support for WGF and does not allow using such a key innovation of Vista as the Aero interface. It means that gaming tests in Windows Vista with old drivers wouldn’t be adequate."

Core 2 Duo vs Core 2 Quad "The following applications were not necessarily hand-picked because they show multi-core performance increases. We did try to round up some applications that took advantage of multiple cores, but please realize that dual-core and multi-threaded applications are still becoming popular. In the future we will likely see greater gains from more than two cores, but for now, well, it's the real world."
