”Intel and Nvidia At War, Gamers Are Collateral Damage
Sure, Nvidia's crashing into the mobile market Intel wants to dominate. And Intel is running into discrete graphics (not to mention ruling with integrated graphics). But you know, it's friendly right? Wrong. It's total war. Nvidia's continuing to hold out licensing SLI support for Intel's boards, notably its next-gen Tylersburg chipset for the Nehalem CPUs. And Intel hasn't yet licensed Nvidia to make an nForce chipset that'll support Nehalem, citing a "disagreement" over the terms. If they don't make nice, gamers will have to pick between having SLI or the latest and greatest Intel processors, meaning they get screwed either way. Man, where's AMD when you need them?

Intel's Six-Core Dunnington and Nehalem Microarchitecture Get Official
The pair of 45nm Intel chips that Sun oh-so-kindly leaked last month just got all official-like. Dunnington is "the first IA (Intel Architecture) processor with 6-cores, is based on the 45nm high-k process technology, and has large shared caches." Six cores, exciting! But not as exciting as Nehalem, which is Intel's "dynamically scalable" new processor microarchitecture which'll bring "dramatic performance and energy improvements" to Intel's chips. And that means what? More »Intel's 6-Core Nehalem and Xeon Dunnington Processors Leaked
This is fascinating if you're planning on getting a new computer soon or if you're a gigantic spec nerd, but Sun just spilled the beans on Intel's upcoming processor lineup in the form of a leaked roadmap. In it, you can see that there's two six-core processors, one Xeon Dunnington and one Nehalem.
