Intel Plans to Overhaul Chip Architecture

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-way-the-old-architecture-is-totally-cool dept.

Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "Intel is planning to announce an entirely new chip architecture later this month at the company's developer forum, the Wall Street Journal reports. The company isn't discussing details yet, but it's expected that Paul Otellini will discuss a 'technology foundation designed from scratch to improve energy efficiency and make it easier to add more than two processors.'"

    Its safe to say that 95% of the /. crowd is either running an amd64 chip, wants to run an amd64 chip, or at least considers them superior to Intel's offering

    Where on earth did you get those figures?

    I run Intel and I find it better than AMDs, period. Not because their CPUs are faster - they aren't - but because intel cpus have much better chipsets and motherboards - I'd rather be burnt before using a motherboard with that nvidia nforce thing, thanks...
