[scalability.org] tracking other companies « scalability.org: Worse, with the forthcoming Nehalem (yes they exist, yes I have held one in my hands), there may no longer be a performance advantage to CSP. Even worse, with Larabee, it is likely that both GPUs and anything similar to them for computing will feel a significant pinch.

[CNET News.com - Business Tech] Intel's Montvale Itanium chip arrives - CNET News: I can imagine if you had a workstation with two dual core itanium 2 chips on board linked to two Nvidia 4 GPU tesla servers and one 4 GPU Quatro slim line server i can imagine you could do quite a lot of reaserch/development work with that compared to a cell system but Most mortals would get enough from two 4 core opterons or two 4 core Xeons connected two one tesla GPU card and one Quatro Card (or a couple of Cell blades) at a fraction of the price.

[Technology@Intel] Technology@Intel · High Performance Computing (HPC): Does anybody tracking the volume and the power consumption (including air condition’s power) for these systems?Also it will be interesting to get some idea on the usual IT kind of statistics (uptime, % usage, MTBF, etc.).I wonder how well Intel based CPUs (263 entries of the latest 500) is doing there.Maybe top500.org guys should add these to their data base?

[CNET News.com] Dell offers lesson in Intel-AMD rivalry | Nanotech - The Circuits ...: .they don't consider the usefullness of innovation and usability of a company's product.they consider only their crap laws which help only companies producing 2nd rated **** products..Remember laws are made after Human was born not before..so make adjustments to help all..What happens it Intel shuts down one of its Kentsfield, Wolfdale, Yorkfield or Penryn they wil get the pinch of their antitrust laws..What is the true trust of the customer??The quality of Product..If Dell,Hp,Lenovo,Toshibaetc.. are preferring Intel more It shows their comfortableness and trustworthy not their antitrust idiots!!..If I am the CEO of Intel then I would simply shutdown one of the main Branch in EU will pay somemore for shutting it down so that they will not ask me again..will open 2-3 branches in USA or austrailia or southeast asian countries .

[Jon Titus Blog] Will the x86 Architecture Ever Die? - Jon Titus Blog - Blog on EDN ...: The only threat to x86 I see for mainstream computing is ARM: as the power CPUs/SOCs get smaller and smaller and the total system size follows, along with requirements for lower power consumption, ARM will increase its presence across the board - it's already way beyond x86 in total cores in use in the market. Atom is evidence that Intel has recognized the threat but it's no where near being able to challenge ARM in its ever-increasing niche.

[IT@Intel] IT@Intel · Quad-Core: Recently Intel launched the industry's first high-volume quad-core processor based on the new Core 2 .As mentioned above, the scaling of this “Blackford” platform with the Clovertown processors is superior for virtualizing general purpose Business computing workloads.
