Intel Discusses Future Plans

heeeraldo writes "Tom's Hardware (unfortunately known for their one-page-stretched-into-nine articles, and endless ads) attended an Intel presentation about their future processor plans. The unsurprising bit: the endless march of additional cores. The surprising part: they're already focusing on 45nm processes." From the article: "Last week, Intel held a series of presentations at its Ronler Acres campus in Hillsboro, Oregon, whose facilities represent the main pillar of product design and manufacturing. These presentations included a short tour to the top-notch 65 nm production facility Fab D1D whose specifics Intel is currently replicating to other locations. The primary purpose of this show obviously was to convince around 80 analysts and journalists of the substantial health of Intel's 65 nm fabrication leadership, which is outputting new processors in high volume for launching new Pentium 4 6x1, Pentium D 900 and Core branded (known as Yonah) processors in early 2006."

Thanks for the corrections

Yeah, thanks for the corrections. I too saw the article, and I was just trying to remember the dates off the top of my head. I still can't wait to see how AMD will fare in the end of all this (if there is an end :P)

Re:How Intel Told Off The DCMA

How do you implement anti-music/movie piracy at processor or chipset level? At that level surely music and movies are just bit patterns and data to be moved and processed. So how, at that level, do you distinguish between music/movies and any other data?
