Are opterons the future of desktops or are they just a stop gap.

I have see two different part numbers for the new 3.2 GB 1M 800 FSB processors (Prescott) from Intel. They are BX80532PG3200E and BX80546PG3200E. Can anyone differentiate the two? Thanks.

With regard to, say, the following 2 processors: Q8200 and Q9300 The 8200 is listed as not having Intel "virtualization technology" nor Intel "Trusted execution technology". What are the implications of not having those two technologies for a desktop developer system running 64-bit XP-pro with...

The new unlocked i5 and i7 CPUs hit the market today on sites like Newegg and TigerDirect. At least on Newegg they are OEM, no cooling provided. Claims of 4GHz with air cooling have been on the net, but as my grandmother used to say, "The paper hold still" (her translation from the German).

Intel has been dragging it's feet over providing USB-3 support in it's chipsets. This is because it really would rather see it's own "Light Peak" fiber-optic solution become an industry standard instead. Nvidia has been making a lot of noise over the fact that Intel has been delaying USB3, but...

Interesting the AMD 45nm technology does not yet include High-K & Metal Gates (HKMG), yet it uses 15-30% less power. Of course AMD does use SOI, which Intel doesn't. So it looks like currently SOI utilizes power better than HKMG, but AMD also plans to use HKMG in later 45nm revision. Yousuf...
