We began our testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA 2016, the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. We ran five of the built-in sub-system tests that partially comprise the SANDRA 2016 suite ...

QNAP’s newest server, the TDS-16489U, is an amazing one that sets itself apart from the rest in so many ways. I want one so badly even though I have absolutely no need for this kind of power. This ...

Intel has launched its Xeon E5-2600 range: dual socket processors sporting up to eight cores and 16 threads each, based on its Sandy Bridge core design. Sandy Bridge processors with up to four cores ...

The workhorse of the datacenter, the Xeon E5 processor, is getting a bit stronger today and will be able to pull slightly heavier workloads through the datacenter with the launch of the “Broadwell” ...

The latest Haswell-EP Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors are about to be released this month, and we have seen some interesting data on these new processors. The Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors are based on ...

That allows for an extremely compact unit that concentrates a workstation class CPU (Intel Xeon E5, available with 4, 6, 8 or 12 cores), two AMD FirePro GPUs (each packing 2-6GB of VRAM), and up to ...

Normally, we wouldn't cover secondhand hardware on TechSpot, but in the case of the Xeon E5-2670 we felt an exception had to be made. Midway through 2015 we put together one of our "Then and Now" ...
