Intel Slashes Computer Startup Times

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the an-end-run-around-the-bsod dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At Intel's Developer Forum in Taiwan, Intel introduced a new Non-volatile caching technology called 'Robson'." The new Robson cache technology allows computers to start up almost immediately and load programs much faster. Intel declined to comment on the specifics of how the technology works only saying that 'More information will be revealed later'.

    Not related to this on any other post, but I have to post this. Is this only me or anybody else also thinks that 80% of slashdot articles are picked-up from news.com.com Ofcourse the kind of comments one can find here make then worth reading again on slashdot. I actually read news.com and then wait for the article to appear on slashdot.
