  • Penryn

    Ars Technica has an article that covers some interesting technical details on Intel's forthcoming Penryn chip. If you're a chip person, you'll likely read the whole thing. If you're not, here are some of the high points:

    • New radix-16 divider makes division up to 2x faster than a Core 2 Duo (sqrt if 4x)
    • 50 new vector instructions (like one for the dot product)
    • A new 128-bit shuffle engine to pack/unpack/align vectors in one clock
    • 1.6 GHz on the FSB
    • 6/12 MB of L2 on dual/quad core chips
