By Rick C. Hodgin Opinion - I have been very surprised reading the commentary from other websites regarding Core i7. Many of those authors believe Intel fell short with this Tock cycle, essentially stating they did not deliver a commensurate successor...

Intel launched this Monday its most advanced processor ever, the Intel Core i7, the first member of the Nehalem family, but also the fastest and most sophisticated processor in the world. The announcement was made during an event held in San Francisco.

The Core i7 processor was designed to deliver incredible speed and performance without increasing power consumption. This is especially remarkable at times when the IT world needs to provide more energy efficiency and energy smart power management features, something that Intel has shown great interest in.

The first Nehalem processor speeds up video editing, gaming and any other activity on the computer or Internet by almost 40 percent, the company revealed, making it the fastest processor in the world, and meeting the needs of the most demanding users.

As Patrick Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group pointed out in a statement, the Core i7 combines Intel’s biggest leap in chip design with incredible innovations in its solid state drives (based on multi-level cell NAND flash technology, which the company introduced earlier in September), thus redefining the computer of tomorrow.

As a proof of that, the Core i7 scored a whooping 117 on the SPECint_base_rate2006 benchmark test (which measures the processor’s performance), holding a world record as the first processor to score more than 100...
