Core i7 (Nehalem) Benched again |
23 Oct 2008 - 16:20 - GMT |
Intel's new CPU architecture out within the next couple of months has just been benchmarked in the East.
Despite bugs with the memory controller such as DDR3 memory over 1.65v being unusable and some games showing lackluster performance it has still proven to be a powerful successor to the Core2 range.
Link to benchies.
Oh and if you don't fancy forking out for an entire new PC they just dropped prices on certain Core2 models to get rid of stocks before Core i7 is launched.

Be afraid Nvidia / ATI / AMD |
07 Feb 2008 - 13:02 - GMT |
over the next 2-3years intel are gonna be targetting being the lead in every Processor related task.
Read THIS
with 8-16+ cores per cpu everyone else should be worried, this will allow so much processing power without the need for gpu's as there is more than enough processing power to do everything a computer could need, let alone pushing the realism of games to the next level. More objects will be able to be utilisied in games, more of everything. Especially with memory controllers in the chips too, no more north bridge. Impressive to say the least
Onboard graphics is looking likely so nvidia should be more scared than anyone else, as ati / amd are already doing this and intel are catching them up fast. Where does this leave nvidia and graphics cards? Only time will tell
