Corsair today took the wraps off of their extravagant new Dominator GT line of DDR3 RAM. The new modules are designed to eke out the maximum performance from Intel’s new Core i7 platform.
In the war between microprocessor companies, AMD has always been the underdog to the juggernaut that is Intel. While it is essentially ingrained within American culture to vote for the underdog, it’s tough to do when they’re clearly outclassed by another player, and that’s how it’s been with AMD’s recent processors vs the Intel Core microarchitecture. The new year brings new opportunities for upset, however, and AMD has introduced the Phenom II, the newest in their processor lineup. With the move to a smaller manufacturing process, has AMD finally caught up, or is Intel still sprinting ahead? Let’s find out.
