AMD Phenom vs. Athlon Core Shootout

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

AMD Phenom vs. Athlon Core Shootout

Is Phenom Really Faster Than Athlon?

AMD removed the core count suffix X2, X3 and X4 from the logo and changed its nomenclature instead: 9000 models have four cores, while the upcoming triple cores have a 7000 model number.

AMD removed the core count suffix X2, X3 and X4 from the logo and changed its nomenclature instead: 9000 models have four cores, while the upcoming triple cores have a 7000 model number.

AMD has had a difficult year. Not only did the long anticipated Phenom processor arrive at considerably lower clock speeds than expected (2.3 GHz instead of 3 GHz), but the current stepping of the so-called Barcelona core is afflicted with a nasty bug. While there are workarounds for it, only an updated stepping will allow AMD to resume quad core processor deliveries in the server segment. The fact that the quad core doesn’t deliver sufficient performance to attack Intel at the high-end doesn’t help either. As a consequence of these problems, AMD has had to readjust its product strategy, and position the processor together with the new Spider platform in the mainstream. Despite all of the issues, though, Phenom isn’t as bad as it may appear, as our comparison between the Phenom and the Athlon 64 X2 shows.

Standardized Test Hardware for 2008

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Tom’s Hardware is turning up the heat in 2008. With multiple hardware test labs and editorial teams in the US, Germany, France, Italy and Taiwan, we want to capitalize on our resources. The first step is the creation of a standard test platform, which will allow us to exchange certain test results, and to cooperate on important articles. A second step will be a common set of benchmarks in certain hardware categories. Clearly, our goal is a larger pool of test results for articles, which we can then provide to you, our faithful readers.

The CD/DVD RW

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

The CD/DVD RW

The CD/DVD RW is the piece of hardware that read/writes optical storage media. CD-s are made of plastic (injection-molded piece of clear polycarbonate plastic) and are about 1.2mm thick. They work by writing information in some “bumps” aligned in tracks that are binary ones and zeros. The information is read or written in your CD/DVDRW unit using a laser beam. The unit has a disk drive motor that spins the disk inserted, and a laser emitter with a lens that focuses the beam on the disk. The laser beam passes the bumps and reflects in different ways from. An opto-electronic sensor detects the changes in the way the laser beams reflects back and interprets data. The whole read/write with the emitter and lens move along the spinning disks collecting informations.

The video card

The video card 

The video card’s main role is show any image/video information on the monitor. It has a built-in processor that takes the processing load of your CPU and a memory to buffer the data. When buying one, first consider your needs. Then see what satisfies them.

The hard disk

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

The hard disk

The hard disk’s role is to store data permanently. It uses a set of disks called platters which store data on tracks. The data is written on all platters (usually 3) on cylinders (3 tracks, one on each platter) at the same time. This greatly improves read/write times. The operation is accomplished by using 3 writing heads and 3 reading heads that constantly move on a ray of the disks to read/write the data. All disk surface is covered by these heads because of their spinning. The hard disk access speed and read/write performance is pretty much related to their speed. Typically a fast hard disk uses a motor that spins the platters at more than 7200 rotations per minute.

Also there are many technologies available like ATA100, ATA133 and the SATA which are the fastest available. (more…)

The motherboard

motherboard

a) Processor Socket
a) Processor Socket - the place where the computer’s processor is placed. It uses a ZIF (zero insertion force) mechanism to insure you do not damage the processor’s connecting pins when placing it. There are many kinds of sockets, generally one per generation. Examples are Socket 478 for older Pentium and Celeron processors, Socket 754 for AMD Sempron and some AMD Athlon processors, Socket AM2 - for the newest AMD Athlon processors. The socket type is the main characteristic considered on a motherboard.

The Power Supply

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

The Power Supply’s role is to convert AC to DC voltages. It usually supplies 3.3 volts and 5 volts for the computer’s circuits and 12 volts for the motors that spin the disk drives and the fans.

powersup

The problems that appear with a power supply are usually related to the fan that prevents it from overheating. If the fan doesn’t work at full capacity anymore (usually making an annoying sound) your PC will shutdown suddenly or restart with no reason.
When buying a power supply, first consider the amount of power needed by your computer (measured in Watts) and get a power supply that has a greater output than you need. You can also consider the noise that the fan of a power supply makes and the protections it offers (against spikes for example). An example of this is the Active PFC feature.
