As you might already know intel has released a new chipset to it’s x86-64 family. The i7 is the successor of the core 2 duo and the 5th installment in Intel since the pentium series.

This new line of processors shows great improvement over the core 2 duo architecture. Most notably is the one die memory controller and the QuickPath interface. However make it a note that AMD has been using a similar technology for the past 8 years. 

The i7 is defiantly a step in the right direction and seems that Intel does not cease to amaze me in designing new and innovative products. Currently the processor is shipping in three models, but rumors say that we will see a mobile version of the processor by first quarter next year. Keep it up Intel you are kicking AMD’s ass and I am liking every minute of it!
