Today, Intel presented a trademark of its future processors, which are built on the much talked about Nehalem architecture. The company did not disclose any specific technical details on future chips, but only the product logos and brands. Fortunately, users will soon find out more about the next generation of processors, after this year's Intel Developer Forum, where the chip maker is expected to reveal further details.
The IDF will be held in San Francisco at Moscone Center, between August 19 and 21, only a few days before the IFA show in Berlin.
The forthcoming chip will be given to the company's server, desktop and mobile business segments. They are meant to improve the existing Core 2 chip, which is currently being considered by most notebook and desktop computer. The Nehalem is expected to reduce bottlenecks in the past Intel's Core microarchitecture, thus improving the system's speed and performance per watt. In addition, Intel integrated graphics resources in the processor, a feature that should be given more power-efficient, eliminating the need for discrete graphics. On the other hand, the integrated graphics will probably not be a solution for players, which will still require power discrete graphics.
Intel's first samples of Nehalem chips will surface on the market at some point in Q4 of this year, according to Core i7 brand. The company is expected to release the chips for servers, although no official information on the exact date has been made available. "The Core i7 brand is the first of several new features," said George Alfs, an Intel spokesman.
In the IDF, in Santa Clara chip maker will also shed some light on its system-on-chip device that integrates a CPU, graphics processors, video and memory controller on a single chip. Such a chip is Moorestown, which is currently under development and is believed to succeed the Atom, at some point during 2009 or 2010.
