Wanted
So I’ve been reading about the announcement of the new Intel Centrino processor. I really want one. Err, I should say I really want it in this.
Here’s a review at Anandtech. And a technology preview. But the jist is:
Based on the Timna project in Israel.
Like the Pentium III but even higher IPC and still having more pipeline stages.
Huge power savings - up to 6½ hours in the T40p.
New power efficient chipset.
And some random cool stuff:
1MB L2 cache.
Dissipates just 24Watts at full power (1.6 and 1.5 Ghz)
I guess that’s not a lot. It’s just really cool how IBM designed the T40 around it.
