Here at Spring 2006 IDF, there is really not much to do except sit around and talk about Merom, Conroe and Woodcrest, the codenames to the new mobile, desktop and server processors that are all based on Intel’s new “Core” architecture. I put “Core” in quotations because the actual, official name of this architecture is the “Core Architecture” so prepare to be confused for quite some time.
Name schemes aside, Intel’s new offering past the NetBurst desktop core we have been used to for the past four years is really very impressive both technically and from the first benchmarks we have seen. Today we got the full technical briefing that detailed all the new features that we outlined in our first IDF article yesterday.
