Administrator DKT27 Posted December 12, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 12, 2009 Intel to preview new chips on December 17 On December 17, Intel will preview new processors for laptops, among other chip technologies. The preview is significant because it will be Intel's first chance to show off its ready-to-ship, commercially viable next-generation 32-nanometer technology. Almost all Intel processors are currently built on a 45-nanometer process. Generally, the smaller the geometry, the faster and more power efficient the processor is. Intel's Core i series of processors will be the focus of the San Francisco event that will serve as a venue to preview and demonstrate products to be rolled out at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. The "Nehalem" microarchitecture that powers the Core i chips was introduced in November of last year and is considered a major step up in performance over previous architectures. To date, Intel has shipped the high-end Core i7 for gaming machines and mid-range Core i5 processors. Intel is expected to preview the first Core i3 processors--some, including the 2.93GHz i3 530, have appeared on retail sites already--as well as updates to the Core i5 series. One of the most anticipated processor technologies is "Arrandale." This will be the first mainstream Intel laptop processor to put two processor cores and a graphics function together in one chip package, resulting in better overall power efficiency. And the new built-in graphics technology is expected to offer materially better graphics performance than current Intel graphics. Arrandale will eventually come under the Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 brands, though initial versions are expected to appear as the Core i3 and i5. Intel is also expected to make a push to get its Turbo Boost technology into more Core i5 and i7 processors--including Arrandale i5 models. Turbo Boost speeds up and slows down individual cores to meet processing and power-efficiency needs, respectively. Separately, Intel is also getting ready to roll out new Atom chip technology for Netbooks, commonly referred to as "Pine Trail." That is also happening later this month.

Night Owl Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hmmm, my Intel Core2 Duo, Centrino 2 from November of last year is looking older and older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You should own a Celeron.. I mean... it should be in the museum.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You should own a Celeron.. I mean... it should be in the museum..The new Celerons carry the same name but are based on core architecture. In fact the Celeron E3200 and E3300 could match the performance of previous Pentium E5300 in applications where plenty cache is not required. The new Celeron E3200 and E3300 are superb cpus, Wolfdale-3M 45nm core with some cache disabled. Imagine this generation of Celerons have virtualization whereas the previous pentium E5300 series lacks VT support. The only problem for people now is trying to undo the association of the word celeron to mean rubbish cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karachidude Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 good read.thanks for the article ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted December 13, 2009 You are welcome.ANW I'm a bit confused. I didn't find anywhere that i5 has virtualization and x64 support or not. :mellow:@Leet: Well I remember what you mentioned about prices droppin as new type of processors arrive. The only problem is, I don't expect the the new 32nm to arrive in Indian markets till half of 2010. So can I expect the drop in i5 prices till end of feb?

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hmm. What do you say? Just release can effect globally? I'm more confused now.32mn processors of i3 and i5 have 2 cores but are HT enabled.Tell me does HT really matter. Is 32nm better or 45. :unsure:I'll have to go for i5 45mn but.

bashar Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 45 nm or 32 nm , i dont really see this as a matter it's just a difference technology for making this chip , as long as it's getting the job done then i dont mind what nm is it better to go with 45 nm IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
