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'.

    My guess is Apple knew about this technology, and it will first be used in Aptel Macs...

    At least I can dream...

    Actually (when booting to a gui in fedora core 4) my XP box boots hell of a lot faster then my Fedora box. THe XP is AMD 2.0 gHz, and the Fedora is Intel 2.8 gHz... so... I don't think your statement is entirely accurate. (Yes, I realize its a joke, I just wanna throw out the possibility that windows might be better for something, from a user who hates having to use windows). I realize I'm gonna get flamed for this.
