Ars is back with an overview of Intel’s most recently launched processors, the Core i7, also known by its codename “Nehalem”:
At an event in San Francisco Monday, Intel officially launched Core i7, the new quad-core, 45nm processor popularly known by its “Nehalem” codename. As we found in our recent review, i7 is a media processing monster. When you combine the new core’s microarchitectural performance enhancements with the bandwidth afforded the device by its new QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), you get some serious floating-point power.
These things look good for the Mac Pro eh?
