| Processor Obfuscation and You: An Update on AMD and Intel CPUs The choice of processor used to be pretty straightforward. You had AMD or Intel, sometimes with a couple overlapping options from each company. With multiple platforms from each company as well as varying features, it can be difficult to determine which CPU you really want to purchase for your system. Over the last few years, things took a turn for the worst - even without the mobility options for Athlon 64, there are four desktop Athlon 64 3200+ variants (and that's just the tip of the iceberg). We felt that it was time for an overview of all the currently shipping processor models, as well as a look at the pros and cons of each model. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=2418

| Likely S775 will be phased out sooner than S939; Intel needs a clean start in order to lower power consumption and thermal output.
