Intel E8500 CPU Review
In the world of CPUs (Central Processing Units) and motherboard chipsets Intel is the number one manufacturer and is the platform of choice for enthusiasts in the PC industry since the launch of the Core 2 series outshined the top CPUs at the time it was launched and they haven't looked back.

24.3.2008 AMD versus Intel, bye bye Intel
You may recall a few months back when AMD took out full-page newspaper ads to challenge Intel to a dual-core server duel. Intel declined to take up AMD on its offer, but the challenge got us thinking: what would the results of a dual-core desktop CPU fight look like? Many people equate Windows PCs with Intel Pentium processors (and soon will likely be doing the same with Macs), but we've seen dual-core CPU AMD systems power ahead of dual-core Intel-based PCs on more than one occasion.

27.11.2005 Intel going for a new logo(?)
The new Intel processor, codename 'Yonah', announced for the 3rd of January 2006, will according to X86-secret simply be called 'Core Solo' or 'Core Duo'. Depending on the amount of cores (no way! where did they come up with that). It's more than 10 years ago since Intel created ax X86-architecture CPU that wasn't called 'Pentium'. Machines with Centrino CPU's will also get a new sticker-logo from now on, saying only 'Centrino', without the real CPU name. The amount of cores will still be mentioned on the sticker.

In a bid to further tap into the segment of performance enthusiasts, Intel Corp. has quietly released its Desktop Board D975XBX2 mainboard that not only allows installing three graphics cards (two in ATI CrossFire mode for improved graphics performance and the third one, possibly, for physics), but also can overclock microprocessor and set memory to work at 800MHz clock-speed, something, which was not officially supported by Intel 975X core-logic originally.

Intel to take 'Averill' to market as Centrino-like platform
Intel will next year launch its third branded PC platform, after Centrino and Viiv, this time pitched at corporate desktops.
As yet there's no word on the platform's go-to-market brandname, but it will almost certainly be based on Intel's 'Averill' platform. Averill was announced at the chip giant's Developer Forum in March this year for availability in 2006.
Averill is based on Intel's upcoming 'Broadwater' chipset, which will ship primarily as the 965 family, but also as the 946 and 963 product lines, it is believed. The platform also takes in Intel's next-generation Gigabit Ethernet controller, 'Nineveh', and its 65nm dual- and single-core Pentium D and Pentium 4 6xx processors.

20.12.2006Intel E8500 Core2 Duo CPU Review
The E8500 is the fastest Core 2 Duo solution on the market with the clock speed set at 3.16GHz, fully 266MHz higher than the next fastest E series
CPU. For a MSRP on the Intel CPU price list of $266 this makes an affordable solution for those not wanting to spend $999 on an Intel CPU like
the QX9770 that’s upcoming. Dual Core CPUs like the E8500 are excellent choices for the everyday user.
The E8500 also overclocks
like a beast reaching 4.389 GHz, a nearly 40% overclock on normal air-cooling. Other people have reached over 4.5GHz on theirs. Dual Core processors
still have a market as only the Q6600 Core 2 Quad CPU reaches this level of price but performance on the E8500 beats that CPU in many cases.

24.03.2008Intel Core 2 Duo 45nm Wolfdale vs. 65nm Conroe
It was back in July 2006 when we got our first look at the then brand new Core 2 Duo processor technology. The processor code-named 'Conroe'
was initially released in four different flavors ranging from the E6300 (1.86GHz) all the way up to the E6700 model running at 2.66GHz, and from the
get go we knew Intel had a winner on its hands.
But for sometime now we've been waiting for Intel to move on to a more efficient and
highly hyped 45nm fabrication technology, which was released just last month. The new 45nm Wolfdale line-up includes the E8200 (2.66GHz), E8400
(3.00GHz) and E8500 (3.16GHz) processors that are expected to operate at lower temperatures - and thus reduce fan noise - as well as receive newer
SSE4.1 instructions and ship with a larger 6MB L2 cache.
It should not take pages of benchmark results to convince you that the E8500 is a
better buy than the E6850 as that clearly is the case. However, those currently in possession of an E6000 series processor or even older Intel or AMD
processors, may still be quite interested to see how much faster these new E8000 series CPUs are, and if they are worth upgrading to. The non-race is
on then!

02.02.2008Intel to release Celeron E1000 on January 20th

Celeron processor, the E1200, will have core frequency of 1.6GHz, 800MHz FSB and 512KB L2 cache with a price of US$53 in thousand-unit
quantities.
On the same day, Intel will also launch three quad-core (Yorkfield) CPUs, the Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550 and another four dual-core
(Wolfdale) CPUs, the E8190, E8200, E8400 and E8500 for desktops, the motherboard makers added.

07.12.2007Intel Core 2 Duo E7200: The new budget king
The new Core 2 Duo E7200 is the first member of the “Wolfdale-3M” family. You may remember that not so long ago we looked at the new
Wolfdale family of 45nm processors, which consists of the E8200, E8300, E8400 and E8500 processors. These still remain today as the fastest Core 2 Duo
processors, offering superior performance and efficiency not to mention stellar overclocking abilities.
The Wolfdale-3M family is, as you
may have guessed, a cut-down version, and as the name alludes to, these processors feature a smaller 3MB L2 cache and a 1066MHz FSB. With the Core 2
Duo E7200, Intel is offering a 45nm processor that is considerably more affordable than the cheapest Wolfdale ($180), and even undercuts other
budget oriented models such as the E6550 that roughly costs $160, while the E4700 is also more expensive at around $140.

Intel has cut processor prices up to 31 percent, though overall cuts are limited in number and degree.
The desktop Core 2 Duo
E8500 (3.16GHz) got the largest cut, from $266 to $183 (31 percent) on the new pricing list, dated July 20.
The next biggest
price reduction was the desktop Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.53GHz), reduced 15 percent, from $133 to $113.

"will tell the world in a new
way what Intel is all about,
and what the company
does."
Originally,
the name Intel was derived

the world's largest chipmaker
will get rid of Intel Viiv and
Intel vPro brand-names going
forward, but apparently the
changes will be much more
substantial, according to
reports from Japanese and
Taiwanese web-sites. For
instance, Intel Core 2
processors will lose their
"Solo", "Duo" or "Quad"
differentiators, but will be
marketed under Intel Core 2
brand-names. Intel Pentium D
and Intel Pentium Dual-Core
chips, despite of the fact
that they are based on
different micro-architectures,
will be sold under Intel
Pentium label. Nevertheless,
Intel Celeron, Intel Core
Extreme and Intel Xeon
trademarks will be
retained.
