  CPUID data and benchmarks for 15 processors were uploaded in the past two weeks. This includes data on Core i7-920 and i7-940, tested with and without HyperThreadind, Phenom X3 and energy-efficient Phenom X4 CPUs, and a few processors from other families.

  500 new part numbers for 8080 - 80286/80287 families were added to combined CPU chart. The CPU chart now has information on 3882 part numbers.

  I created HTML pages for all AMD stepping codes. Each stepping code page includes a list of families, cores and packages related to the code, as well as full listing of all date code / part number combinations, that we have for the stepping code in our database. All AMD K7, K8 and K10 CPU pages were modified to link to appropriate stepping codes. As an example, see how it looks on Phenom II X4 940 CPU page.

  CPU collection pictures are now displayed in the separate "Latest additions" box on the front page of the site. You can click on the "More" link in the box to see older additions to the site.

  Today AMD announced 8 new Athlon II microprocessors: Preliminary information, that we had for these processors on the website, was updated today.

  I'm going to change the way how CPU collection images are uploaded to the site. Before, I always uploaded a batch of pictures for one family. This usually involved manual scaling and watermarking the images, and manual inclusion of images to appropriate CPU pages. One such update could take a few hours of my time. Starting from today, all pictures from my CPU collection will be added similar to "Add Comment" picture upload. That should save lot of my time, and it will allow me to upload the pictures almost daily. Uploaded collection pictures will be displayed in the "Latest Comments" box on the front page. Eventually they will be moved into separate section on the front page.

  Quick update on CPUID data and benchmarks that were uploaded in the past two weeks. We now have data on Pentium E6500 and 6500K, Celeron E3200 and E3300, Phenom II x4 945 (95 Watt) and non-Black Edition 955, Athlon II X3 425 and 435, Intel Core 2 Duo T6500, Celeron M 585, and a few others. I also re-tested almost all socket M processors.

  Navigation tables with Previous/Next Generation and Related Families information were added or updated for Core i7, Core i5, Core 2 Duo Mobile, Pentium II, Pentium and all K10 families.
 
 
Oct 10  
  Socket 563 page was added to the site.
 
 
Oct 9  
  Two new fields were added to CPU pages - "Weight" field with processor and box weight, and "Fan/heatsink" field with fan/heatsink part number for boxed processors. Package size, that was usually listed in the "Package" field, will be eventually moved to separate "Size" field. See Core I7-860 page for an example on how the CPU pages are going to look with new fields.

  In the last few days I posted benchmarks and CPUID information on about 20 Turion 64 X2, Celeron, and Core 2 Duo processors. Tested Core 2 Duo Mobile CPUs include three OEM-only processors - T4200, T6400 and T6600.

  Combined CPU chart now includes data on microprocessors features. You can now use the chart to display all processors that have certain characteristics (family, frequency, etc), and/or have certain features, like AMD64/EM64T, Hyper-Threading, Virtualization, and so on. When you check more than feature in the "Features" field, the chart will display all CPUs that have all of the checked features.

  You can now view older comments by clicking on the "more" link in the "Latest Comments" section on the right side of the CPU-World's front page. I also added a few more families to the Combined CPU chart. The chart now has a small number non-x86 microprocessors. Eventually I will update the CPU chart to allow processor selection by instruction set - x86, Motorola 68000, Z80, etc.

  I posted benchmarks and CPUID information of 30 socket 775, socket 754 and socket S1 microprocessors. Many socket 775 and socket 754 benchmarks were already in the CPU benchmark database, this time I tested them on different motherboards. More socket S1 benchmarks will be posted next week, and I should also have some Pentium 4 and Celeron socket 478 benchmarks by then.

  All HTML pages with for individual CPU family charts are now up to date. An index of all CPU charts was updated too. Some CPU chart pages were combined together. For example, Celeron CPU chart page now lists all Celeron processors. Some CPU pages still have references to old CPU chart pages - those will be fixed next week.

  I'm leaving for one-week vacation today. There won't be any site updates while I'm away. All submitted comments will be approved, and and e-mails answered when I get back.

On unrelated note, we had a few pictures of Core i7-870 posted yesterday.

  I've made a few enhancements to CPUID submission page. The page should be now better at guessing CPU's family and model name. When the page cannot identify family name, it will now display a list of possible family names.

  I've changed a way how data for the Combined CPU Chart is generated - this should make it much easier for me to update it. Also, I added L3 cache information to the chart, and added data on Intel Pentium, Intel Pentium II, and several VIA families. CPU Chart pages for individual families are not yet updated - I hope to finish them before I leave for vacation, i.e. in the next two weeks.

  CPU listing pages for many modern CPU families now show production processors, samples, not released processors and comments in separate tabs. See how it looks on Athlon 64 X2 page. This separation should make listings less confusing for site visitors, especially after more engineering samples and fake processors are posted on the site.

  Sempron 140 CPU page was added to the site I also posted benchmark data and CPUID information for about 20 AMD and Intel microprocessors.

  I added CPU pages for five Six-Core Opterons. Combined CPU chart and six-core Opteron CPU chart were not updated today. There is going to be a big change in how these charts are built and populated, therefore I didn't touch them today. New version of combined CPU chart will be online later next week, and individual CPU charts will be updated in a week.

  I added two new pages to Memorabilia section of the site: AMD case stickers and Intel case stickers. The pages have pictures of stickers, taken from boxed processors, that I either have in my collection, or had access to. The idea for those pages I've got from forum thread WTB Core i7 case stickers. The thread has a few links to other collections of stickers.

  This week I posted benchmarks of approximately 15 processors. 9 of those benchmarks are for mobile socket P microprocessors.

  I started working on the second phase of re-writing of backend scripts. This phase will take longer than the first phase, that was completed in February of this year, and it should improve or simplify many things, like adding or renaming existing CPU pages, updating CPU Chart data, etc. So far I've made two changes to CPU pages for three Intel families - the pages now list CPU and box part numbers in the "General information" section along with related s-spec numbers, and list all core steppings in the "Architecture / Microarchitecture" section. See how it looks on the Core i7-950 page.
