Intel Reveals Next-Gen CPUs

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday August 23, 2005 @06:27AM from the low-power-means-more-flavour dept.

EconolineCrush writes "Intel has revealed its next generation CPU architecture at the Intel Developer Forum. The new architecture will be shared by 'Conroe' desktop, 'Merom' mobile, and 'Woodcrest' server processors, all of which were demoed by Intel CEO Paul Otellini. Rather than chasing clock speeds, Intel is focusing on lowering power consumption with its new architecture. Otellini claimed that Conroe will offer five times the performance per watt of the company's current desktop chips. He also ran the entire keynote presentation on a Merom laptop, and demoed Conroe on a system running Linux."

Anyone who says they will be modded as a Troll will be modded +5

I always mod people Troll when they say they'll probably be modded Troll. Likewise I always mod people down when they say they'll probably be modded down. This is to punish people for trying to manipulate the mod system.

Go ahead, mod me down for this! ;-)
