So there's been a lot of chatter around the interweb about Intel's new Core i7 chips. It seems that these are a big step forward in technology.

But what's so good about these new chips? Why are they so much better than the last generation?

The Nehalem/Core i7 architecture will scale from two to eight processor cores, have faster chip-to-chip communication (this is Intels QuickPath Technology), these will do a better job of adjusting performance levels to suit power needs, and have a higher level of integration also more logic will be built directly onto the processor die. Other features of the Core i7 include more scalable memory (each processor will have its own dedicated memory), and the ability to do more work simultaneously (up to 16 threads with simultaneous multi-threading), and new instructions to increase efficiency called Quote > (SSE4.2 instructions). These are the main points of the Nehalem/Core i7 processor. One more thing there Dam expensive ! ATM .

Yeah the new cache and FSB speeds are amazing. I would spend the cash if I am in need of some raw power
