AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ TweakTown
“Just recently we had a look at the Black Edition 955 Phenom II processor with unlocked multipliers. Today we have been sent AMD’s latest addition to its speed bin. Clocking in at 3.4GHz, this processor is the fastest clocked model to come from AMD, even when including the Athlon X2 line. Let’s see how well it does.”
ECS X58B-A2 @ PC Shop Talk
“During testing, and even during overclocking, the VRM was cool. The X58 chipset did overheat a little, this is why I have used an extra 80mm fan. When I have closed the case, the X58 chipset temperatures fell real quick, and this told me that if there is optimal airflow in the case, the chipset does not need extra cooling.”
All Intel Atom Models @ Hardware Secrets
“Atom is a low-power CPU from Intel targeted to laptops or handheld devices with internet access. In this tutorial we will explore this CPU’s technical specifications and will list all models released so far.”
Intel Core i7 975 @ Motherboards.org
“Intel is launching their second series of Core i7 processors in the form of the Core i7 950 and Core i7 975 which is the fastest available Intel CPU on the market today at 3.33GHz. This processor uses the same core features and design as the previous Core i7 CPUs taking up the $999 spot on their lineup previously taken up by the Core i7 965 Extreme Edition. With unlocked multipliers and the ability to overclock automatically, it should be an interesting ride in the least.”
AMD 790GX vs. 785G @ TweakTown
“While most of us on Tweak Town are after the most performance and overclocking capable boards out there, it’s important to note that there is still a very large side of the market that we don’t always give a great deal of thought to, that being the integrated market.
Today as a follow up to the 785G chipset review, we are taking a look at the 785G’s graphics performance compared the 790GX’s. Since the 785G is DX10.1 compatible, will it have any performance increase over the 790GX? – Let’s have a bit of a look see.”
ASUS P7P55D Premium @ Hot Hardware
“As we creep ever closer to the official launch of Intel’s Lynnfield platform, more news and information regarding the processors, chipset, and motherboards seems to be hitting the web almost daily. The latest piece of interesting Lynnfield-related information we have for you comes in the form of Asus’ high-end P7P55D Premium P55-based motherboard.”
Gigabyte P55-UD6 Preview @ HardwareZone
“Gigabyte’s new Intel P55 motherboards promise smart and efficient computing with their new optimized functions and utilities in addition to the new hardware platform. We give you a sneak peek of its hardware, BIOS and several new utilities you can expect with your next Gigabyte motherboard upgrade.”
ASUS Rampage Gene II @ X-Bit labs
“It is always extremely interesting to review new mainboards. Each has its own set of features, its own distinguishing characteristics typical of the particular manufacturer and special mainboard model, each has its own character. Even if two boards are not very different from one another in their formal specifications, there will most likely still be difference in their performance in real applications. It is much more boring to test different mainboards from the same manufacturer based on the same chipset and belonging to the same series of products.”
ASUS P7P55DX Deluxe Preview @ Motherboards.org
“This is an early look at the new ASUS P7P55D Deluxe motherboard. With a slew of new features and innovations this looks to solidify ASUS’s position as THE choice for hardcore enthusiasts. Once the Core i5 CPU launches, we’ll have detailed performance results on this and many other motherboards based upon this chipset. ASUS has gone the extra mile with their Xtreme Design philosophy and it shows in the design of the P7P55D Deluxe motherboard.”
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe @ Bjorn3D
“Previously I reviewed one of MSI’s latest 790FX-GD70 and I considerd it to be hands down, one of the best AM3 boards I have used. Some time has past now and my collection has grown a bit more and today we get to toy with the Asus M4A79T Deluxe. It seems like we are getting rehahes of the tired 790FX chipset but with each board their seems to be more and more improvements.”
