Introduction If you've read our previous article detailing Intel's dual-core performance and its fundamental architectural setbacks, we bet your views on dual-core technology would change once you're through with this article today. AMD's Athlon 64 X2 was introduced not long ago during Computex...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ A dual-core chip without the sacrifices? AMD has pulled it off - but it'll cost ya. Over the past few years, the contest between Intel and AMD for desktop PC performance supremacy has been too close to call. But the Athlon 64 X2 4800+, as tested here, beats the Intel...
