Intrinsity Claims 2.2 Ghz Chip

Posted by Hemos on from the believe-when-i-see-it dept.

PowerMacDaddy writes "Over at SiliconValley.com there's an article about an Ausin, TX startup named Intrinsity that has unveiled a new chip that utilizes a new logic process with conventional fab processes to acheive a 2.2GHz clock rate. The company is headed by former Texas Instruments and Apple Computer microprocessor developer Paul Nixon. The real question is, is this all FUD, will the real-world performance be part of The Megahertz Myth, or is this thing for real?"

    Ok, but it is not a Pentium CPU. I can not run Linux or Windows on it. So it is useless. And it will also be useless in the future, because it is highly unlikely Intel or AMD will licence this technology. Not only that, but Intel is far ahead of 2.2 MHz. They just do not show the technology to the public right now, because they must sell the current generation of processors.
