Intel's Nehalem chips were being shown at the Intel Developer Forum in China this week. Although final performance figures havent been released yet, quad-core samples have been rated at 3.2GHz. Nehalem chips are expected to give a 30 percent performance increase against Core 2 processors at similar clock speeds. Nehalem processors will be core-scalable from two to eight execution cores on a single socket. The architecture's simultaneous multi-threading will support anything from four to 16 computing threads.Read the latest news, opinion and tech reviews at Kickstartnews
