There is nothing "new" about this design.

They simply are going back to the 2003 rollout of the Pentium M chip which by the way is the only Intel product I have bought as it was in my Laptop.

This must kill the Intel diehards :D :laugh:

3-7-2006 Intel Unveils Details of New Chip Design

SAN FRANCISCO - Hoping to leap ahead of smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Intel Corp. unveiled details of a next-generation computer chip design that it claims will perform better ? and consume less power ? than its current offerings.

The technology, dubbed the "Core" microarchitecture, will start shipping in the second half of 2006 in chips for notebook, desktop, entertainment and server computers.

"We're going to ramp it like crazy and deliver it in volume," Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, said Tuesday. "As a result, it's a better product, and people buy better products."

Intel's troubles have mounted over the past year as the Santa Clara-based company has shuffled product plans, managed inventory build ups and supply shortages, and competed against AMD products that many observers say deliver performance that's superior to Intel chips.

The Core microarchitecture builds on the design of Intel's Pentium M processor for laptop computers, which debuted 2003.

Whereas a new architecture is usually applied to desktop processors first and gradually migrates to servers and laptops, Core is the first time a new design has started with the notebook chip and moved to desktops and servers.

OP, if you want to get technical, they are PentiumPRO based. LOL. They are looking to be damn fine chips and I for one am really looking forward to using them.

Not necessarily if it means that Intel has had a better architecture all this time. ;)
