So instead of paging to disk I get it all in memory, slower than DDR, but memory none the less. The processor is now working wonders in all of my video editing software. Previews that previously had to pre-render are running in reatime. Photoshop is at least 10 times faster than my old Athlon 650 (As much to do with the 120GB 10k RPM hard disk and memory I gues...more

AMD is riding an unprecedented wave of success in the processor market. Although not enjoying the kind of market share held by Intel, AMD has made enormous strides and each set of quarterly results seems to herald a new watershed in terms of overall sales and net income. AMD has done this the old fashioned way, by producing high performance processors and ensuring that viable and stable platforms exist for a wide range of markets. Intel has not been stationary either and not long after the AMD 1.2 GHz entry, they introduced their Pentium 4-1.5 GHz processor. The Pentium 4 has gotten top marks from a technology standpoint, but a lukewarm reception based on ...

Once upon a time, intel made something called a pentium processor, and everyone thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.

To many people who don't really know what they're doing (first time buyers and the like) the little 'intel inside' sticker is a good thing. To me, it is more like a red cross on the door of someone with the plague. No, there's nothing wrong with pentiums, and over time, like Microsoft, they became a bit of a ...

AMD have been in the processor business for quite a while, but it wasn't until their Athlon Thunderbird line of processor that they really entered mainstream acceptance as a competitive processor to the Intel family of processors. Intel had the lead over many of the other CPU manufacturers for quite a while in the past decade, but things are changing. There is now some competition for them to deal with. Intel gained a lot of respect for their Pentium line of chips; they became the standard for others to follow. They had their name printed on the boxes of games, remember the saying Pentium Pro or compatible processor. This has left many people thinking that ...
