Intel Plans to Overhaul Chip Architecture

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday August 12, 2005 @05:53AM 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.'"
