An 82W "Low Power" chip?
I hope someone's made a mistake and it's not actually 82W...
Intel's first Core i5 - the chip bringing the giant's Nehalem technology into the mainstream desktop processor market - is due early in September. Further out, the company has roadmapped additional members of the family, the 32nm 'Clarkdale' chip. It's also added the low-end Clarkdale Core i3 to its proposed line-up, assorted …
"Joining the 750s will be as-yet-unnumbered 3.2GHz, 3.33GHz and 3.46GHz i5s which contain only two cores, though HyperThreading technology - absent from the first i5 - will present eight cores to the host OS. All three will contain 4MB of L3 cache."
Unless Intel is doing 4 hyperthreads/core, I think that's going to be four cores (or threads) not eight.
The Alpha was supposed to get 4 threads on a core when they designed the SMT system intel later took over (after getting hold of alpha from compaq in a settlement). It would be about time intel managed to fully implement it. If you look up the alpha 21464 you will find some info on the use of SMT they were planning.
