...as the guy who manages it today and is still every bit as enthusiastic about tech as I was when I was working at SharkyExtreme.com, when Tom was still running *his* site.:-P
Quick summary:
Lynnfield = the internal name for the new Core i5/Core i7 CPUs for LGA 1156.
Core parking/ideal core = two optimizations from Microsoft in Win7 that are supposed to save power by consolidating background tasks onto as few CPU cores as possible, and then putting the idle cores to sleep.
Clarksfield = Core i7 Mobile; basically, the Lynnfield stuff with a different interface, more aggressive Turbo Boost, etc.
Nehalem = Another Intel internal name referring to the whole family of 45nm CPUs based on this architecture. Members include Bloomfield, Lynnfield, Clarksfield.
Thanks for the feedback.
There's actually a page of test information in every story. You could even reproduce the results if you so desired.
There are also several pages of comments that go along with each story, in which the authors participate very regularly:)
Hope that helps address your concerns!

I'd be happy to field any questions about anything we do editorially. No, Navid, none of our writers are "bought out" by anyone.

Next SBM starts next Monday and includes $600, $1,350, and $2,250 price points. Oh--and hold off on the purchase. All three systems are actually going to be given away this time around, so you never know. Might win one:)
I'll pass this feedback along to the design guys, but do you *really* want to scroll through 4,000 words and 50-some charts, rather than looking at just the pages you're interested in reading? Surely the length would be a bigger problem if there wasn't an index, right? TBH, I'm most focused on the editorial side of things.

Cheers X. The devs got rid of it for a few days there and they definitely got an earful ;-)

I'd welcome the opportunity to prove otherwise. I've been managing editor for the last year, and much has changed. Best, Chris
