[liqnit]

In the IDF 2007 Intel has made some interesting announcements :


Penryn is designed to support up to a 1600MHz FSB.

At IDF Beijing Intel unveiled a little more about Penryn performance; it compared a quad-core 3.33GHz (1333MHz FSB) Yorkfield with 12MB of L2 cache (2 x 6MB per dual core die) to a quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6800 2.93GHz (1066MHz FSB) Kentsfield with 8MB of L2 cache (2 x 4MB). According to Intel’s own benchmarks, Intel saw a 15% increase in imaging related applications, 25% in 3D rendering tests, greater than 40% in games, and a greater than 40% increase in video encoding performance when SSE4 support was utilized.

new platform called SkullTrail - having support for “four PCI Express slotsâ€

I look forward to reading more about these, but as for buying them, I'm going to wait it out for a while. I might upgrade to a core 2 duo, but that's about it for now.
