Intel® Core™ i7 processors

"Another win for Intel® Core™ i7 represents the pinnacle of desktop CPU performance today."

Processors

Intel® desktop processors deliver superb computing power, performance, and reliability at home and at work. Our notebook processors let you work and play in places you never thought possible. Our server and workstation processors provide enhanced scalability, power, and performance for robust multi-processing environments. And our embedded and communications processors combine outstanding performance with scalable, power-efficient processing for a wide range of embedded applications

Pentium 4

The Pentium 4 is an older processor than the Core Duo, but it is far from obsolete. The Pentium 4 is one of the best processors for desktops, able to reach speeds of well over 3.0 GHz. The Pentium 4 is also available with "HyperThreading" technology, which makes it perform more efficiently when you're running many demanding programs at once.

Core 2 Duo

The Core 2 Duo is Intel's newest processor, and can be found in both PCs and new Macs. While not technically a "dual processor," each Core 2 Duo has a pair of processing cores in it. This helps optimize performance for things like gaming, video and image processing, and so on. It's also extremely useful for running many programs at once, without sacrificing any of your system's performance. Laptops with Core Duo processors tend to be more energy-efficient and thinner than ones without them.

Intel Processor Comparison: Which one is right for me?

Intel is the brand that Dell uses in all of its computers. Apple now also uses Intel processors in the MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini product lines. There are many different options within Intel's product line, and this page is meant to help you clarify which is best for you. Newer processors will usually last you much longer than older ones, and generally longevity is the best choice when buying a computer. Remember, though, that Intel is not the only brand that makes processors. AMD's processors are often considered better and less expensive than Intel's, and have recently been added as an option on many Dell systems.

Intel processors power 75 per cent of world's Top500 supercomputers

Intel Corp microprocessors run more of the world's fastest computers than ever before, according to a report released Wednesday that tracks progress in the computing industry.
According to the latest list of the world's Top500 supercomputers, published twice a year by academic researchers, shows that 75 per cent of the machines are powered by Intel chips, up from 71 per cent in November.
Chips from Intel's main rival, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., powered 11 per cent of the Top500, down from 16 per cent in the previous list.
