All the week’s reviews
Friday, January 16th, 2009
For those of you not swamped by tax return gubbins – we’ll shamelessly plug our ‘How to avoid tax return hell‘ feature at this point – it’s been a PC-centric week on reviews, but with some interesting variations on the usual black box design.
All-in-one PCs and Phenomenal CPUs
The Mesh Matrix II was a traditional PC, but inside sat one of AMD’s brand new Phenom II processors. We put it through its paces and it blew the old Phenoms away; it’s not up there with the recent Core i7s from Intel, but the price makes it a real competitor.

AMD shuffles its feet

Over breakfast this morning, I was chatting to Ian McNaughton, AMD’s robust senior product manager. Now, before tongues start wagging, I should explain that, right now, I, along with a few other members of the British technology press, am down in the south of France for a first look at a new AMD technology. (I can’t tell you about it just yet, but rest assured you’ll know the very second the embargo lifts.) Since this event has seen both journos and hosts tumbled together in the same hotel, it’s fairly inevitable we’ll bump into one another from time to time.
It’s not every day one gets to chat with senior AMD staff – especially not while they’re in such an agreeably bleary and docile state – so I took the opportunity to voice a personal opinion. I observed (perhaps a little bluntly) that it was all well and good AMD announcing new technologies for the future, but perhaps it ought also to think about promoting one of the strongest bits of technology it already has in the marketplace, viz. its Phenom X3 and X4 processors.
