AMD's A10-4600M 'Trinity' APU
One of the big stories in PC processors over the past few years has been AMD's struggles to match the performance of Intel's high-end desktop CPUs. The much-anticipated "Bulldozer" microarchitecture landed with a thud, unable to mount a serious challenge to the dominance of Intel's Core i5 and i7 offerings. Meanwhile, Intel continues to crank out major improvements to these products at a pretty regular clip, as it did with the introduction of the 22-nm Ivy Bridge chips last month.
However, there is another, even bigger story unfolding in PC processors at the same time, and AMD plays a more intriguing role in it. As you may know, CPUs have swallowed up a whole host of other system components in the past few generations from the memory controller to I/O and graphics. The reasons for this trend ...

Intel uncorks a plethora of new Xeons
Wow, so, Intel's Xeon product line has just gotten substantially larger. The chipmaker has added a whopping 28 new processors to the series, but believe it or not, only 11 of them are based on the new Ivy Bridge architecture. The rest of them are, as far as I can tell, all 32-nm Sandy Bridge-E offerings.
The new arrivals belong to three distinct families. At the high end, the E5-4600 lineup is geared toward four-socket servers; it allows each system to pack as many as 32 cores and 48 memory modules. ...
