While Intel's x86 dominance is clear (you'd simply be a fool to buy an AMD chip if you'll mainly be image editing for example), AMD does have a real winner in the form of the A10-5800K when it comes to using the on-board graphics. Not only is it...

Late May we published a huge round-up of 45 desktop processors , followed by a review of Intel's fourth generation Core processors . Our readers immediately, and understandably, came with the request for a similar group test of laptop processors. It's...

AMD has the clock rate on its side. But Intel's Ivy Bridge architecture boasts superior IPC throughput. We pit the 4.2 GHz FX-4170 against Intel's new 3.3 GHz Core i3-3220 in an effort to determine which CPU is the better buy for £95. Intel's Ivy...

Our AMD Trinity review comes about a week after launch, because I wanted to spend the extra time with this APU to be able to provide readers with as clear a picture as possible on every aspect of performance. On the following pages, you’ll be reading...
