theraindog writes "The number of different CPU models available from AMD and Intel is daunting to say the least. The Tech Report's latest CPU review makes some sense of the landscape, exploring the performance and power consumption characteristics of more than two dozen desktop processors between the $999 Core i7-975 and more affordable sub-$100 chips. The article also highlights the value proposition offered by each CPU on its own and as a part of the total cost of a system. The resulting scatter plots nicely illustrate which CPUs deliver the best performance per dollar."pa href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/06/09/1850239/26-Desktop-Processors-Compared?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/06/09/1850239"/a/ppa href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/06/09/1850239/26-Desktop-Processors-Compared?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rXUbf5hKevLSsYUOT8Ty0kKsJkc/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rXUbf5hKevLSsYUOT8Ty0kKsJkc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rXUbf5hKevLSsYUOT8Ty0kKsJkc/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rXUbf5hKevLSsYUOT8Ty0kKsJkc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/nM_ISv-wEOw" height="1" width="1"/

The sluggish economy is forcing consumers to try to better control their budgets, to minimize large expenses, and to reduce financial risks. Many Americans are only one paycheck, one rent payment, or one car payment, away from financial ruin. The luxury of the choice to buy a new car has disappeared for many, as the record losses of the auto manufacturers indicate. But that doesn't mean that people are no longer driving. It means that people are keeping their current vehicles longer, rather than getting new ones. AutoWarrantyResearch.com has found that car warranty coverages is more important then ever.

Intel Senior Vice President Patrick Gelsinger says that new Intel processors based on the upcoming Nehalem microarchitecture will have a gradual rollout in the marketplace, with new processors for high-end desktops, workstations and single-socket server systems coming first.

There's a lot to like in Apple's latest version of the MacBook Air, such as the smaller size, longer battery life and faster flash storage. Still, I was disappointed that the new MacBook Air uses the aging Core 2 Duo processor. The new Air even takes what looks like a step backwards in processor speeds, going from the standard 1.83GHz and 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo processors in the previous models to a wince-inducing 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo in the standard 11-inch models ($999 with 64GB of flash storage, $1199 with 128GB of flash storage) and 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo processors in the standard 13-inch model ($1299 with 128GB of flash storage and $1599 with 256GB of flash storage).

With close to 800 million credit and debit cards in circulation at the end of 2007, Japan is one of the countries with the highest payment card penetration. Japanese residents on average have 6.2 credit or debit cards per person, higher than their peers in most card markets around the world including the United States where an average resident has 3.6 cards. However, the usage of these payment cards is quite low compared to their large numbers. An average Japanese resident spent just about $30 (US) on their credit and debit cards in 2007 while the number was close to $180 (US) in the US. As a result, Japan remains a cash-centric society and the payment market opportunities remain largely un-tapped by electronic payments.
