Both AMD and Intel are up against the wall when it comes to making their chips any faster. To make higher speed processors using today's chip technology would bring bring them to the point of meltdown because of the amount of heat being generated.
But, both companies have come up with an ingenious solution for making computers faster and more efficient. To put it simply, their new CPU's will have two processors built on one chip. Hence the name, "Dual Core" CPU's. These new computers can do more because it is almost like having two computers controlling your work flow.
Both AMD and Intel introduced their new chips within two weeks of each other. Right now, these chips are very expensive (as you would expect) and are used mostly in network servers, although one of the Intel processors is available in a high end gaming computer.
Soon, these new processors will find their way to our desktops. Inevitably, people will want to know whether AMD or Intel is building the better chip, at least in terms of speed and efficiency. Our friends at CNet have already gathered all these chips together in one place to run the first series of tests.
For those of you who don't want to read the review, the clear winner was AMD. If you would like to read the review, go to:
