I am a long time Tom's reader, it is the first place I go when I find out about new technology to see what Tom's has done with it. That is why I was shocked to see that Tom's hardware has no reference to the already shipped chips. All I found was one old news article concerning the new AMD Danube line entering the market, from back in January. I really expected to see something on Tom's laying out and explaining these processors with a promise of benchmarks to come, or even better, completed benchmarks. It would be great to see how these stack up against intels line of mobile i3/i5/i7. But instead all I find is a 8 page or so article about Moorestown/atom. Interesting read, but where are some mobile tech reviews. Or is Tom's hardware only about desktops and gaming?
If you are also just finding out about these new chips and want to know what I am talking about here is a small tech preview of these new mobile/laptop cpus.
Maybe I missed it but I searched for Phenom P920 and N930, and didn't find what I was looking for. Neweggs got a sale on a laptop with one of those components. I can only imagine this influx of competing mobile CPUs will bring down the prices of fast performance laptops. But I don't feels competent to make a value assessment until I get a clearer picture of these new AMD chips. Especially in regards to their processing power, heat issues, and batter life compared to intel's current line.
