Hardware Central's CPU Price Watch for June 24, 2009
While this week's did contain a couple of double-digit price drops (literally... one from each camp), the overall trend continued to be one of general stagnation. But as we move toward the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third, we're hopeful that increased competition between the two camps will translate into more in the way of price drops.

Platform Trends: AMD's Six-Core Comeback? As AMD shows off a six-core Opteron processor, IT managers dream of cost-effective server upgrades and desktop performance freaks dream of six-core supremacy. Add a full slate of new Phenom II CPUs, and the underdog chipmaker might have a terrific 2009. So what's the deal with propping up the aging Athlon? Sunday , March 01, 2009 07:00:00 PM |

Platform Trends: AM3 At Last Remember those Phenom II processors AMD introduced a month ago? They're history, as the chipmaker introduces triple- and quad-cores that plug into either existing Socket AM2 or new AM3 motherboards loaded with DDR2 or -- welcome to the present tense -- DDR3 memory, respectively. Intel Core i7 killers? Nope. Core 2 Duo and Quad challengers? Abso-plug-in-lutely. Monday , February 16, 2009 04:00:00 PM |

Platform Trends: Hard Drives Get Bigger, Faster, and Greener A couple of years ago, the advent of perpendicular magnetic recording kicked the storage industry's race for ever-higher capacity into overdrive, but Western Digital's cramming two terabytes into one desktop drive is still an eyebrow-raiser. So is the growing sophistication of the hard disk market, with lower noise and power consumption starting to count as much as size and speed. Sunday , February 01, 2009 05:45:00 PM |

Platform Trends: The GeForce GTX Gets a Facelift It took longer than hardcore fans expected, but Nvidia has rallied to reclaim the gaming graphics card crown from archrival AMD and the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. The secret? Revitalizing the GeForce GTX 200 series with a die shrink and some careful shuffling of clock speeds -- and, Vince Freeman adds, some very clever positioning of the company's dual-GPU card versus its dual-card SLI platform.

Save Us, Windows 7! Retail sales are falling like a skydiver without a parachute. The fearsome R-word -- recession -- has become the E-word, said by everyone every day. Is there any good news for the PC industry amid the doom and gloom? Yes, from some unlikely sources (let's hear it for hardcore gamers) and from users and IT managers suddenly looking favorably on that favorite bugaboo, Microsoft.
