You’re anxious to get your hands on the Intel Core i9 of the next generation? It’s always possible on eBay, right? It seems that this processor is auctioned at a price of $1,200. This is a handsome sum for an Intel 6-core Westmere Gulftown 2.4GHz LGA 1366 CPU prototype, what do you think? There is no confirmation of the authenticity of the auction, it might as well be a scam, right?
It seems that the price of some future Intel processors have leaked. The Core i5 520M 2.4GHz with 3MB of cache will be at $225, the Core i5 540M 2.53GHz will be at $257 and Core i7 620M 2.66GHz will cost $332. Are you willing to pay money for a new processor?
A pretty amazing video from Intel that shows how we produce a microprocessor from sand. The sand is transformed in silicon then in a chip that is subsequently inserted into the computer. The processor is the brain of the computer.

Preliminary information on the successor to Pine Trail platform of Intel, have emerged. The next iteration will be code-named Cedar Trail and this update of 2011 is based on 32 nanometer processor. It will benefit from new integrated graphics controllers, and supports DirectX 10 and HD video decoding. Other features should include two digital outputs that support DisplayPort and HDMI, not to mention support for DDR3 1066MHz which is also good. It’s nice to see that processor technology is moving forward.
Intel, manufacturer that dominates the world market of microprocessors, will launch its new mobile processor models Arrandale for new mobile platforms.
Among the five models that will be launched, we find the Core i7 620 UM and Core i7 640 UM, respectively clocked at 1.06 and 1.2 GHz, or 2 and 2.26 GHz in Turbo mode, which will be used in ultraportable laptops.
Taking advantage of a fine engraving of 32 nanometers (1 nanometer is 10^-9 meters), these dual core chips announce a FSB at 1,066 MHz, 2 x 64 KB of memory cache of first level, 2 x 256 KB cache of second level, 4MB cache of third level, as well as an integrated graphics part.
As for their TDP (Thermal Design Power), it peaks at only 18 watts according to Intel, which promises computers, PC or Mac, power efficient, and therefore a standby time particularly interesting. But we will be sure during the first tests of these new generation mobile processors.
For this, we will have to wait until the first quarter of 2010, when mass production begins and when the first computers will arrive.
If you are a happy owner of the ultra-fast Intel SSD, it could be better: Intel has announced an updated firmware for SSD Optimizer its 34Nm X25-M 160GB SSD which can increase the performance of sequential writing for up to 40% under Windows 7. If you’re running Windows XP or Vista, you can enjoy the same benefits by installing the Intel SSD Toolbox. The SSD Toolbox will also provide better management of disk under any operating system.
Here is a concept of a laptop by Intel which has 3 OLED touch multi-touch displays, allowing you to “manage” the display of the main screen. Confused? A short video should help convince you:
