Intel's Paul Otellini kicked off this year's Fall IDF with the first keynote of the show and as always, we've got coverage of the event:
Yes, that's a Mac on stage at an IDF keynote
Paul's keynote marked the first time an Apple representative was on stage at an Intel IDF keynote as Apple's Phil Schiller tooted Apple's horn for completing the Intel processor transition:
There were no new Apple announcements and the portion of the keynote that covered Apple was relatively useless, but it was an interesting moment to note just for its historical significance as the first real Apple presence at an IDF keynote.

Is Quad-core going to much faster than dual-core, like when core 2 duo came?Reply is appriciated. :-)

I have reasons to belive that whatever will come after Gesher will be very different from what we have today. Gesher is translated to brigde in Hebrew. Therefore I have reason to belive that what ever Gesher will be, it will be a transition to a new technology.I know I repeated myself a few times.

It used a Netburst and most likely a prescott core processor to operate WTF?GhandiInstinct - Wednesday, September 27, 2006 - link
The day, in a press conference, the day in which multi-code is mastered in software, that we see in a video game demo, a full fledged Torando tearing down a metropolis.yacoub - Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - link
Good coverage so far: Lots of pics, informative text between them, and lots of new tech incoming from Intel! wootporkster - Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - link
Any news on Santa Rosa chipsets? I couldn't see them in the road map.porkster - Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - link
Intel and Microsoft have no idea when it comes to what people will buy and can afford.Ye, like in the picture we are all going to buy 3 and 4 of these flop devices for our cars. Without these devices being under $200, no one will take then serious.
It seems like anytime someone bring up a portable, they have to use an expensive cpu in it. I can't see why you can't jsut echo a wifi'ed screen from another computer at home or in the car. A device the is a terminal, not a separate computer.

"Years ago Micron talked about equipping a chipset with an on-die L3 cache to help improve performance, and it's looking like Intel will be doing just that"IBM has it since 2002 ... ;)
BTW it was the main reason IMB did not jump on Opteron so eagerly. They have a chipset hugely hugely superior to Itel's Truland since 2003. Game over period.
That snoop cache is the thing which brought SC Nocona Xeons on par with SC Opterons in 4P-8P scenarios!!!
First Intel DC Smithfield _IS_ single-die, it is just glued together but single-die. The reason being MCM puts huge strain on FSB so they put an arbitter on a glued chip, to help achieve even mediocre 800FSB on their chipsets of the time.
