Heat Transform Technology™ : A unique “L-shaped” heat-sink to remove heat from the power supply. This technology helps to guide the air flow along the heat sinkto improve the air circulation for maximum performance at low temperature.

Hybrid Transformer™ : Unique design that combines heat-sink with transformer. Patent design transformer mount with heat sink, the size was reduced by up to 25% than the traditional transformer providing lesser energy consumption, while conducting the heat for better overall efficiency.

Hyper Path™ : Places IC close to transformers leading to huge efficiency rating. Patent energy conversion design path providessuper efficient connection from the transformer to components. The signal can be transfer directly without any energy loss.

Flat modularized cables to eliminate clutter and improve airflow inside the chassis

Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corporation are two of the largest developers and manufacturers of central processing units in the world, according to Mercury Research statistics reported in PC World. The primary application for high-end CPUs is the gaming and performance personal computer market. Both AMD and Intel market heavily to gamers, but which company's products you should choose depends on your needs and budget. As of April 2012, Intel's most powerful CPU offering is the Intel Core i7 product line, while AMD's is the AMD FX series.

Core Clock Speed Core clock speed, or simply clock speed, is representative of how quickly a processor can assimilate information and output instructions to other devices. This is the speed of each core operating independently of each other. The Intel Core i7 series of processors goes up to to 3.90 GHz, while AMD FX's highest base speed, without overclocking, is 4.2 GHz.

Front Side Bus Front side bus is almost as important as core clock speed when determining how quickly a CPU can operate. The front side bus determines how quickly each individual processor can communicate with other processors as well as external devices such as physical memory. The Intel i7 series of processors has a range from 2400 megahertz to 3200 MHz. The FX series has a range from 2000 to 2200 MHz.

FX Features The AMD FX is considered the first native 8-core processor. The series also features Turbo Core technology to selectively increase performance of resource-intensive applications. In addition, Cool'n'Quiet reduces heat and energy draw when running media, making your PC considerably quieter while running media applications.

Core i7 Features The Intel Core i7 line features Intel QuickPath technology, meaning that connections are direct from one point to another and the processors don't use a single bus, so they don't compete for bandwidth. They also contain an integrated memory controller, providing faster memory acess and less lag time.

Conclusion While the Intel i7s are faster overall, the AMD FX models provide better framerates in gaming tests, according to benchmarks from Hardware Heaven, allow significant overclocking and are less expensive in 2012 than comparable Intel processors.
