AMD shared some more details with us about Llano. The 32nm processor will feature power gating and a host of other power optimizations that lead us to believe we'll see CPU & graphics turbo in AMD's first APU.

Intel let loose some new information on Westmere today about power efficiency as well as its upcoming quad-core and 6-core chips. Updated: Desktop quad-core plans not certain!

No I'm not talking about bypassing multiplier locks, the Black Edition takes care of that already. I'm talking about flipping a switch to enable the two disabled cores on the Phenom II X2 555. And you thought the Athlon II X4 635 was a bargain quad-core.

We were puzzled by Pine Trail's lack of performance. In some cases it was faster than the original Atom, but in most it hardly showed a difference - particularly in the single-core netbook version. We found out why.

It's time for AMD's response to Intel's Clarkdale launch. Cheaper prices and higher clock speeds thanks to yield improvements at Global Foundries.

It costs $113 but with minimal effort you can reach 4GHz with the stock cooler. At those speeds (and at stock) it's a great CPU for gamers. We update you on Clarkdale and review Intel's first real answer to the Athlon II and Phenom II X2.

Intel's first 32nm chips are here. It's time for competition below $200 as Clarkdale takes AMD's Phenom IIs and Athlon IIs head on with more than just performance. Clarkdale attracts HTPC enthusiasts with its TrueHD/DTS-HD MA bitstreaming. It targets the corporate market with Bitlocker accelerating AES-NI. It is even a great chip for gaming. But is it priced too high for a dual-core CPU?

We call them the Dell zino HD CPUs, because they're found in Dell's zino HD. You can buy a decent nettop based on Intel's Atom processor or one of these low clocked, low TDP AMD CPUs. Which one should you buy? Read on to find out.

After over a year, we finally get our first real update to Intel's Atom processor. An integrated memory controller boosts performance by roughly 10%, and we finally get to say goodbye to the power hungry 945 chipset. If you're going to buy an Atom based system, you want a Pine Trail. But it's not quite enough to kill off NVIDIA's Ion. The forbidden platform does have a couple of advantages...

With settlement talks breaking down, the FTC has sued Intel over anti-competitive actions in the GPU and CPU markets. We take a look at the charges, and what the FTC wants done to remedy matters.

Updated! We clarify one of the more confusing points of AMD's nomenclature with regards to Bulldozer. AMD is referring to integer cores whenever it mentions core count in its roadmaps.

We have a winner! We've also got AnandTech offered on Amazon's Kindle and a preview of the new AnandTech site redesign. I hint about a call to writers and a potential reader meetup in India.

Today marks a monumental day in the CPU world, as AMD and Intel have settled their differences and dropped all suits against each other. The ramifications are monumental: AMD will officially go fabless

Could this be AMD's comeback? It sure looks bold at a high level...

There's not much to talk about from a CPU standpoint with AMD in 2010, so AMD is heavily focused on 2011 and what it plans to do with its first on-die GPU in Llano. Bobcat and Bulldozer also make it back into the headlines as AMD is long overdue for another microprocessor architecture. Bobcat stands to be AMD's first competitive mobile architecture while Bulldozer may ensure AMD will be competitive at the high end.
