Into the Core - Intel's New Core CPU

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.'"

I'll most likely never buy intel again

AMD has surpassed anything Intel has been able to offer. I've dealt with enough Intel and AMD workstations in an engineering environment to make the switch. Intel faceplants when matched up to an Athlon 64 crunching numbers. Intel is simply buying time with all the marketing hype until they can figure out how to get the gaming market back. If you can't see that you need to get your head out of the benchmarks and go do some testing in your own environment.
