Inside the Chips at IDF - Nehalem, System on a Chip, ...

At the 2008 Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco the future was clear: visual computing. From games to television, from large systems to handhelds, the demand on hardware and software platforms will be to run large amounts of data more efficiently with less power. Some of the breakthroughs to bring video and audio more easily and seamlessly to users include the scalable Nehalem chip architecture, the Media Processor CE 3100, and the architecture codenamed Larrabee.

Its the name of a river in Oregon, the state from which the developing scheme for this architecture originated from (rather then Israel, where the previous core architectures originated).

i have 2 systems one with the Intel Core 2 Quad Quad-Core Processor Q9650 Socket 775 and the other with the AMD Phenom X4 9550 and they are both realy good at doing every thing now is this cpu going to be better then the extremeIntel Core 2 Extreme Quad Processor QX9775 Socket 771?

[htelge]

they were two core 2 duos together....the i7 is 4 core in a single chip....

[gainpro]

the cpu needs some extra speed to think out and/or sort out the memory other wise it's just gonna go in circle's...

thanks for the answer

the q6600 was the 1st quad core, this what is 8 cores, just 4 of them are virtual cores
