Intel ushered in this week’s Intel Developer Forum with a tantalizing display of the capabilities it expects to unleash with its new Sandy Bridge processor technology.
With a design that merges integrated graphics onto the CPU, Sandy Bridge is poised to begin appearing in desktops and notebooks by early next year. And if Intel executives — who detailed the new Core processor family and its new features — are accurate, the upcoming technology could spearhead dramatic changes in the expectations users and admins have for their systems. Hardware Central has the story.
