Today on our arena we have dual-core processors based on Intel's NetBurst architecture - perhaps, one of the most controversial architectures in the history of x86-processors. It started out with disappointments and faint hopes, then justified the hopes and made us doubt the disappointments, and, finally, redoubled disappointments and totally destroyed all hopes. Not an easy path indeed, and in any case a bright page in the history of modern processors.
To continue our series "Revisiting the past" we are offering an article, which fans of a company well-known and still considered alternative have been anticipating. Let them recall the time when sky seemed more blue, grass was greener, girls prettier, and their favourite company had almost fulfilled the dream of dancing on its main competitor's grave.
Unfortunately for them, old lion had found enough strength to give a good roar, which has set back the realization of their dreams indefinitely. However, at least in hindsight let us pay tribute to a period, when the lion's old age was mentioned more often than his royal status. It was interesting, was it not? At least unusual - for a change!
So today on our circus arena we have dual-core processors based on Intel's NetBurst architecture - perhaps, one of the most controversial architectures in the history of x86-processors. It started out with disappointments and faint hopes, then justified the hopes and made us doubt the disappointments, and, finally, redoubled disappointments and totally destroyed all hopes. Not an easy path indeed, and in any case a bright page in the history of modern processors. Well, enough words - let numbers do the talking.
I thought it should be a new news to you guyz,So,i've posted.Feel free to say what do you think about it ?
