We have a winner! We've also got AnandTech offered on Amazon's Kindle and a preview of the new AnandTech site redesign. I hint about a call to writers and a potential reader meetup in India.

Today marks a monumental day in the CPU world, as AMD and Intel have settled their differences and dropped all suits against each other. The ramifications are monumental: AMD will officially go fabless

Could this be AMD's comeback? It sure looks bold at a high level...

There's not much to talk about from a CPU standpoint with AMD in 2010, so AMD is heavily focused on 2011 and what it plans to do with its first on-die GPU in Llano. Bobcat and Bulldozer also make it back into the headlines as AMD is long overdue for another microprocessor architecture. Bobcat stands to be AMD's first competitive mobile architecture while Bulldozer may ensure AMD will be competitive at the high end.

That's right, just in time for the holidays we've partnered up with Intel to give away a complete Lynnfield Core i7 System.

Hot on the heels of last months' $99 quad-core, AMD is back with a higher performance alternative to Intel's Pentium E6xxx series. It's the return of the triple core with the Athlon II X3 435 and 425. Both priced under $90 and both delivering better than Intel dual-core performance. For the first time in a while, AMD's biggest competition is itself.

Anyone can license ARM's microprocessor architectures, Marvell chooses to license only the instruction set and build its own designs. We look at Marvell's architecture to see if it's what you may want in your next smartphone.

Intel's 32nm Nehalem tick is almost upon us. Westmere isn't a radical departure from Nehalem, but there are a few enhancements worth talking about. We go through the on-package graphics, GPU turbo, and even share some preliminary performance data of the next dual-core desktop CPU.

You asked for results with turbo disabled. You asked for overclocking results. We aim to please: here are the additional tests you requested of Intel's Core i5 and Core i7 for the LGA-1156 socket.

The missing link in the Lynnfield lineup is the Core i7 860. Priced at $284 it's no more expensive than a Core i7 920, yet it runs at a higher clock speed and has much more aggressive turbo modes. Is it the better buy? For most people, it is.

AMD's pricing department has struck gold. Armed with a brand new die, the Athlon II X4 620 performs like a $160 CPU but at 60% of the cost. This is the best budget quad-core CPU on the market.

Today Intel unveils the Nehalem that we've all been waiting for. Starting at $196 and outperforming nearly everything on the market, Lynnfield is here. It's more than just another fast CPU, it's the first processor that redefines the way we classify CPUs. Lynnfield is not only the best quad-core processor at $196, $284 and $562, but it's also the best single, dual and triple core chip. Today we look at the Core i5 750 and Core i7 870 and explain why these are the best processors of 2009.

Recent discussions of P55 motherboard pricing inspired us to do some digging and figure out exactly how much it costs to build a motherboard. While we'll see ~$100 P55 motherboards at launch, it's going to be tough to pull off. Find out why.

AMD promised attractive bundle deals for the new Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition from North American vendors. We took a quick look at the current state of 965 bundles and see exactly how much you can save.

It's literally the fastest chip AMD has ever shipped. At 3.4GHz this is the closest you're going to get to a Core i7 performance without going Nehalem. At least until next month...

What used to be AMD's manufacturing arm is now officially known as Globalfoundries. The new company has started work on its first 22nm fab, due to start production in 2012 and as of today has officially signed on its first non-AMD customer: ST Micro. We take you through AMD and GF's manufacturing roadmap for the next 3 years, including when you can expect ATI/NVIDIA to begin producing there.
