The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't have multiple cores? We take 16 different CPUs and compare them all using a single core running at 3 GHz. Ev...

Intel's Sandy Bridge processors represent a genuine step forward in chip evolution. Now packing in refined, efficient CPU cores and an improved GPU on to the same portion of silicon, Intel has done away with the need for chipset-based graphics for good...

If it wasn't for Intel's marketing goons, these could have been the best CPUs in history. Awesome, even so...

Almost twice the speed of the previous generation of chips, Intel's new i5 gives you loads of power for the price ...

Intel's latest generation of CPUs effectively picks up where the last one left off. Performance has been ratcheted up a notch and the energy consumption has gone down. This all-rounder is a real success....

An incredible processor at a very reasonable price; if you’re building a powerful PC, then buy this chip. ...

Looking first to the build quality and design of the new generation of Core processors we have a set of CPUs which have the usual high level of quality we have come to expect from Intel. It is very hard to damage a Core CPU when installing due to the ...

Performance Personified. A stunning new design....

Those looking to upgrade in Q1 should look no further if they are on a budget as Sandy Bridge within the i5 realm certainly offers outstanding performance. The 2500K is there for the taking, and will appeal to enthusiasts on a budget. Combine it with a mainstream motherboard and you are the envy of your..
