Intel reveals second-generation Cores, 22nm successors

"Intel kicked off this week's IDF (Intel developer forum) with details of its second-generation Core processors, previously code-named Sandy Bridge. Available "in early 2011," the CPUs will provide visual performance rivaling discrete GPUs (graphics processing units), include dedicated hardware for video transcoding, and offer other architectural improvements including "next-generation" Turbo Boost technology, the company says.

"Intel had already tipped some details of its second-generation Core processors, previously known by their "Sandy Bridge" code name. However, this morning's keynote -- delivered in San Francisco by Paul Otellini (right), the company's president and CEO, and Dadi Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager -- brought further details as well as some diverting product demonstrations."
