We’re really happy that George has taken the time to explore and benchmark what is surely one of the most complete and full-featured AMD platform motherboards that Gigabyte has ever done. I’m convinced also that most AMD DIYers will, like ourselves, be even more excited at the prospect of putting this board through its paces packing AMD’s forthcoming FX processors. Here’s hoping they really gives us some Bulldozing performance level to shout about.

Intel Quietly Rolls Out Star Rating for Its Microprocessors.

Intel Corp. a new estimate of five stars for its microprocessors revealed which is conceived to simplify a choice of the microprocessors for users. Unfortunately for Intel, the new estimate of five stars still does not provide to consumers information distinct on the execution from the pieces and to promote thus confuses the choice.

Of the estimates of processor of Intel are conceived to easily help you to decide which processor is the best for your needs. Seek just stars beside the badges of processor to determine their various levels of capacity for treatment,� reads an explanation to the Web site of the company.

However, actually the estimate of star imitates the numbers of the type of the processor of Intel which represent a combination of execution, power of devices and other characteristics. Each processor is assigned between one and five stars according to a combination of the devices, including cores, clock-speed, the hiding-place, and other technologies. More stars indicate larger devices and increased possibilities compared with other processors of Intel.

Consequently, the five stars always evaluating does not provide any information relating to the computing power of the central processing units of treatment: for example, Intel dig the estimate four stars of 2 devices of the duet E8000-series, while Intel dig 2 that the quadruple Q8000-series has only three stars. Moreover, of the very reduced microprocessors of tension for the books ultra-transportables - Intel dig 2 the duet SU9000-series - are arranged five stars, on line with core 2 extreme and Intel dig 2 pieces of mobile of quadruple.

While the estimate of five stars is easy to include/understand by the inexperienced purchasers, it will not make it possible customers with knowledge to choose the good combination of the execution, the power and other characteristics of the microprocessors. Consequently, the reasons of its execution are not exactly clear.

Intel Launches New Processor Badges, Rating System

Santa Clara, Intel California-based recently released a series new and improved of badges and a system of estimate for its world-famous processors of computer. According to the world 'the leading vendor of processor of S, the new badges and the system of estimate are conceived so that consumers are equipped with better arrangement of the EC what each product is able. Basically, the users will be able to identify each one of Intel 'processor of S
the products and choose those which answer better their requirements for the execution and the evaluation. In spite to be directly aimed at the market of consumers, economic systems will benefit also from this new system badging and the new logos.

As you can see in the image, the new badges are praised that a piece die the accent which was placed in the corner higher right of the logo, was combined with a name of recognizable mark and the modifier. Starting from Intel 'the pieces of atom of S to the processors of the consumer of company 'of high-execution of S up to now, the central processing units of treatment of the core i7, all the products of Intel will be recognizable by the new badges which will be fixed at each portable PC or of office, granted they are actuated by Intel 'technology of S.

According to Bill Calder, a spokesperson of Intel, in a recent news-article on Hundred, the new system of badge was designed so that, when a user of computer enters a better store of purchase, �they can distinguish Centrino, core, Celeron, digs duet 2, digs quadruple 2.�

Currently, Intel 'line of product of S includes the following distinguishable marks: Pentium, Celeron, Centrino, vPro Centrino 2, vPro of Centrino de Centrino 2, dig the vPro 2, dig duet 2, dig quadruple 2, dig the end of end 2, the atom, the core i7 and the core i7. All these marks are designed for a different market segment, covering all two Intel 'the portable lines and of office of S of the consumer.

The company says that him 's currently undergoing a process of simplification of mark, moving all its products with a name of more recognizable mark, namely core, with various modifiers.

Intel New Chip Logos and Star Rating System

Intel has rolled out with new chip logos for its Core i7, Core 2, Centrino, Celeron and Pentium processors, and unveiled its Star Rating System with one star denoting the lowest performance and five stars the highest.

The 5-star level consists of Core i7 Series, QX9000 Series and several other high-end mobile CPUs. And Celeron falls to the lowest segment, including Celeron E1000, 400, T1000, 900, 700 and 500 Series.
