Så er de første billeder med indmaden af en Intel "Prescott" processor på nettet, og der gemmer sig højst sandsynligt 64-bit udvidelser...
Also, says Jed, and I gotta take his word for this, high volume Nickel suffers from a lot of silicidation. Getting rid of Mr Cobalt is good, he says, because it's too resistive and way too rigid.
He had to guide us round the pic as well. He says Prescott might well have 64-bit capabilities in there. Why? Well, the pretty pretty two part upper and lower area in the center is the two 32-bit halves of the d-cache, the two 32-bit halves of the ALU (arithmetic logical unit) and the two 32-bit register banks which make up a 64-bit capable processor in the middle.
That's what Jed says anyway. And he's a tower of strength about this sort of thing. Læs mere her: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13879
