Another week left for this one...

No longer will Socket 775s be the top of the game for Intel now. We're now looking at Socket 1366. Also seems that the front side bus has been eliminated.

Oh I guess I should also mention 'eight core processor possibility'.

2009/2010 is going to produce some heavy-ass systems...

But that still isn't the end of the line since Sandy Bridge follows up after that with a phenomenal 32 cores...

I could imagine using these anywhere from cars to cell phones. We've come along way

Spoiler alert. *Spontaneous Madness is shot.

But really, 8 cores? The only difference I've noticed with a dual-core is two bars for CPU usage on the task manager.

That, and CoD4 works.
