"Intel next-generation CPU architecture, code-named Nehalem, and now known as Core i7, will be officially launched in Q4 of this year, most likely in November.
HEXUS is out in force at this year's IDF (Intel Developer Forum), and, as usual, we'll be covering everything of note.
However, arriving in San Francisco a couple of days and, rudely, finding a Nehalem-based sytem at the Moscone Center - IDF's home - where the test systems were being built, HEXUS managed to secretly grab some time with a Nehalem box.
We managed to benchmark the single-socket, quad-core, eight-threaded, 2.93GHz monster and compare it against Intel's very own Core 2 Extreme QX9770, QX6800, and AMD's Phenom 9950 Black Edition.
Read on to find just how the CPU of 2009 performs.... and what kind of whoop-ass it hands to the best of 2008."
Appetizer:
Med de begrænsninger Hexus nu engang er underlagt, så er det en udmærket forsmag på, hvad vi kan forvente os af Intel's nye Core i7 (aka Nehalem) processor arkitektur.
