IDF: plenty of good news for the future Macs...

Following the Intel transition, we have strengthen our monitoring of Intel-related news; and during the current Intel Developers forum, Santa Clara's Giant has made many announcements.
Following the impressive first benchmarks of the future Conroe, additional information has been released.
First, during this exhibition, Intel was presenting 2 servers; one based on AMD Opteron 64 and the other on an Intel Xeon Woodcrest. Of course, Intel-based server was the fastest one, while being the lowest power-consuming solution. Just to remind you Apple might have to use such processor to keep offering dual dual-core-based computers.
In another place, Intel was unveiling a new technology named Robson, using a NAND enabled system on could boost some OS task performances. In addition, this technology could also improve battery lifespan in notebook while improving the ratio "performance per watts".
To keep improving performance over power consumption, Intel has announced that the Conroe, that will be officially named Intel Core, will include many new features. One of them, entitled, Advanced Media Digital Media Boost, should double the performance of SSE instruction sets which are involved in multimedia-oriented applications.
Intel should also propose in a near future, the first Wimax card dedicated to notebooks.
It is becoming every day clearer why Apple has decided to move to Intel.
Intel's on-going evolution regarding both processors and platforms is solid and performance-wise very promising.
