Into the Core - Intel's New Core CPU

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-hard-core dept.

Tyler Too writes "Hannibal over at Ars Technica has an in-depth look at Intel's new Core processors. From the article: 'In a time when an increasing number of processors are moving away from out-of-order execution (OOOE, or sometimes just OOO) toward in-order, more VLIW-like designs that rely heavily on multithreading and compiler/coder smarts for their performance, Core is as full-throated an affirmation of the ongoing importance of OOOE as you can get.'"

  2. Apple's noisy Dual Core MacBooks-PCs seeing this? by mccalli · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What I'd like to know is if whether my noisy dual-core MacBook Pro (has the processor whining sound) is the only brand of dual-core Intel that's having this problem. Does anyone have a PC laptop that's dual-core? I think Acer make them, maybe some others by now. Does anyone have one of these and if so, when the CPU is idle, do you get a high pitched electrical whining sound? I'm likely to reject this machine because of noise. It's my second one too, one of the W8612 ones that a previous article suggested had the problems fixed. I can tell you that the processor noise one isn't. I'm likely to reject this one too, or at least force Apple to note my dissatisfaction so that I can get a replacement when they've got a quiet product out there. Cheers, Ian
