 Intel's new CPU looks like it's set to retake the CPU performance crown that AMD has been holding the last two or three years. Intel had hit a wall of thermal/electrical breakdown in their attempts to keep the P4 architecture moving towards higher clock speeds. The P4 was originally believed to eventually be capable of speeds up to 10Ghz but these limits dashed those hopes. So Intel's long-pipelined P4 took a back seat to AMD's chips for some time as Intel regrouped. And regroup they did. Using the low wattage Pentium M as the inspiration/foundation for this new chip they have created a monster of a CPU that runs cool and pushes performance ahead more in a single leap than we've seen in a decade. Some benchmarks are showing speed increases of as much as 75% over AMD's best chips, including the FX-62. In addition it's doing it without generating excessive heat levels. More information and a review of this new chip is here.
