For now, being on "the top" of the smartphone world means you have in your possession, one of a few select phones packing a 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside. Only a few short years ago, such power in the palm of your hands was nothing more than a dream. My how times change. The technology world as we all know doesn't stay in one place for very long. What is hot today (1GHz Snapdragon processors) become old and slow by tomorrow's technological standards. Standards that just so happen to incl...

Love trees, saving energy, and hugging cute furry critters? Intel's shift towards 32nm processors should help you in that quest.

For some odd reason, *leaked* information seems to get me more excited. I don't know, maybe its the "surprise" factor. Whatever the case, someone at Intel got a little trigger happy and jumped the gun by releasing info on a new processor, the E8700, on their knowledge base.

3.5GHz clock speed
6MB cache
1,333 MHz FSB
65W thermal envelope
No price has been announced yet...

Intel's budget desktop processor replacement for the current Core 2 Due, the Havendale architecture, is rumored to have chip samples ready by next month. However, pro...
