Intel Reveals Next-Gen CPUs 515
EconolineCrush writes "Intel has revealed its next generation CPU architecture at the Intel Developer Forum. The new architecture will be shared by 'Conroe' desktop, 'Merom' mobile, and 'Woodcrest' server processors, all of which were demoed by Intel CEO Paul Otellini. Rather than chasing clock speeds, Intel is focusing on lowering power consumption with its new architecture. Otellini claimed that Conroe will offer five times the performance per watt of the company's current desktop chips. He also ran the entire keynote presentation on a Merom laptop, and demoed Conroe on a system running Linux."

AMD is always good, no matter what they do.
Intel is always bad, no matter what they do.
Apple is always good, no matter what they do.
Microsoft is always bad, no matter what they do.
Steve Jobs is always right and the sun shines out his rectum, even when he's wrong.
Bill Gates is wrong and is the spawn of the Devil, even when he's right.
These rules apply even in cases where one entity does something, and then the other entity does the exact same thing two weeks later.
And finally, my reply and any like it will always be moded -1 'troll' because the majority of readers here do not want to admit they are this biased.

So What's Next After Multi-Cores and Low Power? (Score:4, Funny)
I suggest that they start working on the biggest problem facing the computer industry today: unreliable software. It's costing us billions of dollars and even human lives. Consider that the basic architecture of the processor has not change in more than 150 years, ever since a guy named Babbage and his girlfriend Ada built their mechanical computer around the "table of instructions". All processor architectures have benn based on and optimized for the algorithm ever since.
A truly innovative architecture would abandon the algorithm and embrace a non-algorithmic, signal-based synchronous software model. It would not only revolutionize the computer industry, it would solve its nastiest problem: software unreliability.
But can we really expect the big guys (Intel, AMD, IBM, etc...) to be truly innovative at this stage of the game? Their approach is evolutionary, not revolutionary and they are doing just fine as it is. They have no great incentive to change. Hopefully, a bright upstart will get the message and make a killing while the behemoths are busy fighting each other for market share. They won't know what hit them until it's too late. The message is simple: There is a solution to the software reliability crisis. The disadvantage is that it will require a radical change in both processor architecture and software construction methodology. The advantage is too good to ignore: 100% software reliability! Guaranteed!
This is the stuff that revolutions and great companies are made of. After a century and a half, I think it's time for a change. He who has an ear (and the venture capital) let him hear!

But I'd be pretty stoked about it if I could sit outside (think BEACH) all day with a laptop. How sweet would that be?
Pretty friggan unsweet. It'd be lame as hell, all that dust clogging up your fans, wrecking havoc with the drives... not to mention the HEAT -- I mean its beach hot, which is probably too hot for a laptop to be on for long.
The biggest by far problem, however, is reading a LCD in natural light. Computers, and their users, were not meant for use in natural light. You couldn't read a damn thing on your LCD out there.
It would SUCK. Leave your laptop at home if your going to the stupid beach.
