Intel "East Fork" Technology Migration

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-towards-the-M-class dept.

Hack Jandy writes "When Intel's Centrino platform first unveiled, industry experts were surprised to see such great performance of the Pentium M, based off Intel's P6 (Pentium III) architecture. According to sources in the industry, Intel has officially adopted the approach to migrating Pentium M to the desktop (hence, "East Fork") to offset some of its Pentium 4 processor sales. Cheaper, slower, cooler, but higher performing processors are on the way to an Intel desktop near you!"

      Yeah. Redundant, Flamebait, or Overrated would have been much more appropriate. The best part is they can mod you down twice now for such a useless post.
