Intel’s new unchallenged speed record
AMD’s new CPUs may give the Core i7 a run for their money in certain applications, but Intel has a new undisputed top rank when it comes to storage. We have heard a lot of good things about their new SLC SSD HDD, the X25-E Extreme and it would seem that if anything, the speed has been underestimated. While it may only hold 32GB, it uses almost no power and is a class of it’s own when it comes to speed for reading or for writing. Head to The Tech Report and prepare to be amazed.
