I don't see what your looking forward to. 2010 is fairly a dull year for the your average consumers when Intel is in question.

Definitely on the desktop side, there is the i7 980-X for highlight, but I really doubt these $999 per chip pricetag would help anyone but the enthusiasts - those 6 core chip won't be made mainstream anytimes soon - things are in the 'Tock' stage, no new major architectural change until 2011, hence not much exciting technology - not something usual in such supposingly rapidly changing industry. That said, it would be nice when Intel finally reduce the TDP of the high end chips.

Not to mention Sandy Bridge chips would still be expensive unless AMD get their hands out of their arse, and deliver X6 10xxT series properly. With Intel historically releasing high end stuff first, goodness knows when they release mainstream.

That said, as for mobility - since the Tick stage, Nehalem chips are not real known to be friendly on battery - improvements generally on C2 based mobile quads, but still less than ideal. Most laptop with i7-7/8/9x0 CPU struggles to deliver decent battery, the chips won't be refreshed for a while neither. On the mobile market especially, the lack for a directly clock per clock competitors has allowed Intel to enjoy its most profitable quarter - that, for us consumers is anything but decent outlook.

If AMD is matching intel performance and price in the low to mid segement, Intel's Nehalem based high-end platform, are still in the class of its own whether desktop or mobile, hence still rather expensive to buy into. Furthermore, I just cannot remember the last time I've set my eyes on a decent AMD powered PC.]]>Apr 13th 2010 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/By the time it arrives, we'll die of old age :D

So this is how Intel will fight ARM Cortex A9 / Tegra 2 market??

Seriously, this only affects Tablet PC's soon to be and cheap netbooks.
With dual-1.8GHz & ION2, don't think it can keep up with my SU7300 & HD4330.

I think the best is to come yet = 1.2GHz i7 + Win 7 + Convertible tablet.

Intel still has no answer to ARM anywhere in sight. If Intel announces an ARM competitor tomorrow, it would still take about 3 years before anyone can design a phone around it. Also, the graphics for it would suck given Intel's reputation of being totally clueless on how to make a decent graphics chip.]]>Apr 14th 2010 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/
I'm just hoping they announce a Quad-core Westmere very soon.

I'm itching to upgrade and I'd really like to have a cooler-running 32nm chip and still be able to transcode video at a good speed.

For now, I have a 930 system all set to go in my newegg cart, but I just don't know how much longer I can avoid pushing the checkout button... :)

What does Intel do with the six-core chips that test with one or two defective cores?

THANK YOU.

I'm picking up an Acer Aspire 1410 next week, and can't think of any reason NOT to get a BGA956-powered netbook. Even the lowly Celeron M 1.3Ghz in that Acer is over twice as fast as the Atom. Hell, I had a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.4Ghz Celeron M for years before I decided I cared and swapped it out for a 1.73Ghz Pent. M, and it was fine.

I love the concept of netbooks, and getting 8-9 hours battery life on an Atom is great, but I'll happily "only" get 6 hours with my Celeron M that won't be nearly as quick to choke. When you have an Asus gaming lappy as your primary system, going from "burns your balls off" to "runs warm" and "1 1/3 hours battery life if I'm lucky" to "6 plus" is ridiculously appealing... now if only I could find a vendor to SELL me a Core2Solo for my netbook. Hell, maybe I'll just up my price ceiling from $400 to $500, who knows.]]>Apr 15th 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/Apr 13th 2010 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/Apr 13th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/Stupid comment is stupid.]]>Apr 13th 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/Every company is greedy.

Nvidia is taking way too long to get there tegras in consumer hands. Intel seems to get there products out first so im hoping for a dual atom HP Slate. I know it wont be in the first gen but the opportunity is there.

I'd actually be interested in looking at their filing to see where the revenues and profits came from, but I think as long as they can recoup their costs it's good to keep the division open. It gives them a better name, even if they are constantly losing to intel, and it might bring better economics of production to their graphics card (maybe a possibility, maybe not - think a partial subsidy to their graphics cards that would make graphics cards less profitable without their research and/or processor chip production. It's possible, though I'm not saying it's probable.)]]>Apr 14th 2010 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/intel-wraps-up-best-first-quarter-ever-by-teasing-new-dual-cor/
