For the real CPU geeks among us... Intel's new architecture.

A pretty in-depth look at what is going on (and likely to be going on) inside the new Intel core chips, how they differ from the P3 and P4 chips and so on.

I have to admit, the architecture looks seriously impressive, with the hardware design it has it should trounce the Athlon 64 in clockspeed efficiency and throughput, without sacrificing too much in the way of scalability....

I like it

The article is just expanding on the information released at IDF last month (ftp://download.intel.com/technology/architecture/new_architecture_06.pdf). I think the benchmarks speak for themselves really

It is, but it's a lot more readable (with better explainations for the less technical) than the intel PDF, as well as comparisons with previous architecture types
