Maximum Efficiency: Build A 25W Performance PC Using Core i5
February 23rd, 2010 admin

We’ve measured 100W+ at idle from desktop PCs running the first crop of dual-core CPUs. The latest 32nm Clarkdale-based platforms let you build powerful desktops that idle as low as 25W. Today we’re looking at the efficiency of such a system. Clarkdale – Central processing unit – Multi-core – Intel Core i5 – Desktop computer

The new dual-core Clarkdale CPUs from Intel are here, and they deliver impressive performance. Today, we look at how Core i5-661 compares to AMD’s Athlon II X2 and Phenom II X2 on the 785G platform. Who’s king of the ring from an efficiency standpoint? Advanced Micro Devices – Intel Corporation – Central processing unit –...
Intel is preemptively launching the first hexa-core desktop CPU weeks ahead of actual availability. But how does this 32nm monster perform when we take a deeper look into performance per watt? After yesterday’s preview, today we look closer at efficiency. Intel Core i7 – Intel Core – Central processing unit – Intel Corporation...
When it comes to overclocking, the theoretical peak for your processor is probably less interesting than a balanced efficiency increase. Thus, we went on a mission to figure out the best clock rate for Intel’s new dual-core Clarkdale-based Core i5-661. Intel Core i5 – Intel Corporation – Clarkdale – Intel Core – Intel...
Starting with its dual-core Clarkfield-based Core i5 processors, Intel is introducing AES New Instructions to its architecture. We’ve already seen great benefits from a number of synthetic benchmarks, but what are the real-life advantages of this tech? Intel Corporation – Intel Core i5 – Multi-core – Central processing...
Our latest “How Much CPU Do I Really Need?” article pits the cheapest Core i3 and price-matched Phenom II series processors against the highest-priced CPUs for the same two platforms. Can the low-cost parts provide a similar gaming experience? Intel Core – Intel Corporation – Central processing unit – Phenom II –...
AMD’s six-core CPU is affordable (at least, compared to Intel’s Core i7-980X). We’re overclocking the Thuban design to see if its efficiency improves from faster clock rates. Comparisons to other quad- and hexa-core processors provide some perspective. Advanced Micro Devices – Intel Corporation – Intel Core i7 –...
Intel agressively promotes its Core i3/i5/i7 series, but we wonder: Does it make sense to replace a three-year old high-end PC? In the end, quad-core processors were already pretty powerful in 2007. We created a brand new system and a 2007 PC to compare. Intel Corporation – Multi-core processor – Personal computer – Central processing...
We look at three recently-released Intel processors, including the dual-core Core i3-550, the quad-core Core i5-760, and the Gulftown-based six-core Core i7-970, capable of processing 12 simultaneous threads. Is Intel putting pressure on the Phenom II X6? Intel Core i7 – Intel Core – Gulftown – Multi-core processor – Central...
The professional space is peppered with products derived from the desktop. Today we’re looking at Intel’s Xeon X5680 CPUs, which look a lot like Core i7-980X, only they’re optimized for dual-socket platforms. We’re also introducing new Adobe CS5 tests. Intel Corporation – Intel – Xeon – Central processing...
AMD is launching a broad spectrum of new CPUs today. And while most are simple speed bumps, today we’re pitting its fastest dual-core model, the Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition, against Intel’s LGA 1156-based Pentium G6950 to see who rules for under $100. Advanced Micro Devices – Intel Corporation – Central processing unit...
