AMD has launched in the market an Athlon II dual-core processor P340. The features of this processor make it a great competition for the recently released Intel Pentium P6100 series. Let’s have a look at the characteristics that make the Athlon II P340 a good option for customers in their search for a good processor for their laptops and/or notepads. The Athlon II P340 has a frequency of operation of 2.2 GHz. Another feature we should mention is that it has a CPU multiplier is of 16. When compared to the Intel Pentium p6100 series, the Athlon II P340 processor offers a memory controller of the DDR3, this means that the there is a reduction of the memory interval and it also means that there is an improvement in the processor as a whole. The dual-core has been built with 45nm lithography technology, and has a data width of 64 bits. It also offers a level 2 cache memory separated in the dual core and with 512 KB each level. Another striking characteristic of the Athlon II P340 processor is that the power consumption is of only 25 watts, the lowest power consumption processor when compared to other CPUs in the same market segment.
[ad]
The Athlon ii supports Hardware virtualization. The advantage of such feature is that you will be able to have different operating systems in the same device without having to cope with a decrease in performance. One thing you should take into account when considering to purchase a laptop with this type of processor is that it has a revolutionary technology to avoid heating problems (Powernow and Cool’n’Quit). Some other things that the Athlon II P340 processor includes are an adjustable controller, hardware to help you control temperature of the processor, and some integration based samples. The new dual-core processor from AMD also includes an outstanding feature to help you protect the timer support. The reason why I believe this is a good processor to get is because all the available graphic cards in the market can be used with the Athlon II P340. Nevertheless, as the speed for processing data is not much it does not offer an excellent performance when the customer uses applications that require multi threading. You will find this type of Athlon II P340 processor in brands such as Sony Vaio, HP and Acer, but not all models come with a dual-core processor P340.

Intel Pentium P6000 P6100 and P6200 processors

The Intel pentium P6000, P6100 and P6200 are based upon the Arrandale architecture. It is intel’s attempt to keep the Pentium brand alive and at the same time offer the benefits of the Arrandale Architecture.

If you are not aware of the Arrandale architecture, it is basically the same architecture that powers the intel core i3, core i5 and core i7 processors, which means that they have integrated memory controller and a DMI bus to communicate with the chipset.
[ad]
The core frequency of P6000 is 1.86 GHz while that of the P6100 and P6200 are 2 GHz and 2.13 GHz respectively. The intel P6000 series does not have turbo boost functionality as in the core i5 processors. Also, there is no Hyperthreading supported in the intel P6000 series processor.

The Intel P6000 series contain 3 MB of smart cache. Built with 32 nm technology, the intel Pentium P6000, P6100 and P6200 processors have a moderate TDP rating of 35 Watts.

The P6000 series has integrated DDR3 memory controller that can support a maximum of 8 GB DDR3 memory.

The nominal frequency of operation of the AMD V Series V140 processor is 2.3 GHz. The AMD V140 improves upon the frequency of the the V Series V120 processor by 100 MHz. The V140 has has an integrated Dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM Memory controller which helps in faster memory communication ( unlike the intel processors that has north bridge). The V Series V140 is a single core processor.

[ad]
The AMD V series V140 connects to the chipset is using a 1.6 GHz HyperTransport Bus. The HyperTransport is a bidirectional differential bus with huge bandwidth.

The AMD V140 has contains 512 Kilo Bytes of Level 2 L2 cache. It however does not has any Level 3 L3 Cache. The integrated memory controller in the V Series V140 is partly made up by the integrated DDR3 memory controller.

The Thermal Dissipation power (TDP ) rating of 25 Watts means that the netbooks and notebooks designed with V140 will consume low power and will have extended battery life.

Not much detailed benchmark results are available. By way of the increase in the frequency we can estimate that the performance of the AMD V140 will improve upon the performance AMD V120 by 5%. It is speculated that its performance will be better than the similarly clocked single core Intel Celeron processors. The passmark score from cpubenchmark.net gives it a rating of 773.

Other features of the AMD V140 processor include special multimedia instruction sets 3DNow!, MMX technology, SSE3 SSE4A. The AMD V140 does support AMD Hardware Virtualization technology. The virtualization technology is helpful if you are having two operating systems ( Like Windows XP and Linus) working simultaneously.

Pros of AMD V140 Processor

- Inexpensive.
- Low power consumption, long battery life.
- Integrated Memory Controller.

Cons of AMD V140 Processor

_ Lacks Horsepower.
- No L3 Cache.

Here are some of the notebooks powered by AMD V Series V140 processor

Compaq Presario CQ62Z.
Acer AS5252-V476
TOSHIBA Satellite C655D-S5087

Intel Core i7 processor Extreme edition model has 12 threads, which maximize its performance. The concept of multi-task processing is meant to enable every core in the processor to do simultaneously two tasks as everyone is looking for smart multitasking. The forthcoming Sandy Bridge processors from Intel will retain the i7, i5 and i3 branded names, which Intel had introduced with its processors named as Clarkdale and Arrandale.

Sandy Bridge is likely to be launched at the end of year 2010 or early in 2011. The new core i7- 2600K and core i7-2600 will be the Intel’s processors giving the highest performance when released.
It is to be noted that both i7-200k as well as i7 -2600 parts have wattage of 95 W. The other core i7-2600S is only 65 W.
[ad]
Intel has designed its Sandy Bridge i7- 2600k processor for those over clockers interested in faster performance and it will have an overclocking enabled feature.
Both core i7-2600k and core i7- 2600 have frequency rating of 3.4 Giga Hertz. At the same time, i7-2600 S is designed with 2.8 Hz frequency. These three processors fall in the category of quad core parts. All of them are with hyper threading enabled. The significance of hyper threading is that there are 8 threads working simultaneously in each.
All these processors will constitute turbo chargers, which will be enabled functionally in them and will operate on a frequency of 3.8 Hz. Moreover, all of them will have L3 cache of 8 MB.
The very important and noteworthy characteristic in these processors is that they have advanced integrated graphics for a superior performance. According to Intel, the performance of these processors will be almost double of the Arrandale and Clarkdale processors. There are a few results, which substantiate the genuine claim of Intel in achieving these standards.
In addition, there are vital improvements in the design of Sandy Bridge processors as compared to the older Arrandale and Clarkdale processors. Arrandale and Clarkdale had the integrated memory controller and Graphic Units (GPU) built using the 45nm technology, while their core was made employing 32nm technology. The CPU and GPU memory controller in Sandy Bridge processors are based on 32nm technology. There is another remarkable difference. The L3 cache is shared with GPU and assists to boost up the performance of GPU.
In addition, sandy Bridge processors will have dual channel DDR3-1600.
The Sandy Bridge processors are anticipated to give a substantially improved performance. The gamers will be getting maximum advantages of its double performance in graphics. We look forward to a sea change in the performance in relation to the price.
