In our first part of our Broadwell coverage, we rushed to test both the i7-5775C and the i5-5765C in our new benchmarking suite against the previous generation of Haswell processors as well as AMDs Kaveri lineup. In Part 2, we have spent more time wit…
The current mainstream memory technologies, namely DRAM and NAND, have been around for decades. While clever engineering work has allowed the two to scale below 20nm geometries, both technologies have their inherent architectural limitations. But what if you were to take the best characteristics of DRAM and NAND and create a whole new type of memory? Meet Intel’s and Micron’s new 3D XPoint, the next generation non-volatile memory technology. It is said to provide up to a thousand times better endurance and performance than modern NAND technology does, while being non-volatile and very scalable at the same time. Read on for our full analysis.

I love a good workstation – something with the power under the hood that acts as the silent black-box knight when work needs to be done. Most workstations are pre-built, expensive and come with a support package under the impression that the per…
