Fab dual-core performance
Keeps Intel's 32nm transistors on track
Great performance for a dual-core chip
Integrated GMA HD graphics processor means fewer fans
Abstract: The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't have multiple cores? We take 16 different CPUs and compare them all using a single core running at 3 GHz. Ev...
As well as looking at the CPU's performance we also gave the onboard GPU a quick run through. We started with the very undemanding ”TrackMania Nations”, which is a really fun casual 3D racing game that can look quite impressive on top hardware but also sc...
