Intel Looks Beyond the Microchip

Posted by Zonk on Sunday February 12, 2006 @11:27PM from the don't-look-down dept.

Dr Occult writes "BBC reports about upcoming major changes in Intel in 2006. The current Intel core, the Pentium, is on its way out and is to be replaced by a new chip called 'Core'. These new Core chips come in two flavours. Solo Core is a single core processor, and Duo Core is a dual core processor. Intel has also announced the Viiv standard. Viiv is less technology and more a shopping list of technologies. Aimed at the home entertainment market, it defines the latest generation of media centres that are capable of playing anything from MP3 songs to high-definition films."

what a joke - this information is maybe 4-6 months old. moderation sucks here - when the bbc tells slashdot what is 'bleeding edge' geek news, then you know it is time to start looking for another geek site.
