More pics of Intel’s iPhone-clone mobile phone concept; Intel’s Hafnium-based, ultra-efficient Silverthorne chips

We know, it’s already old news. Intel’s most definitely jumping into the mobile-scene and they’re planning to make a pretty big splash. So, just what does the chip-making giant have in store for us in the mobile market? Well, aside from possibly powering the next-gen iPhone, Intel’s got a pretty broad strategy for everything mobile.The Intel booth here at CES 2008 Las Vegas was filled with ultra-mobile PC concepts. Many were engineering samples that were just there to look pretty - but some were actually fully-working prototypes. We managed to elbow our way through the crowd to shoot a quick video of on of the cooler UMPC’s interfaces in action. The UMPC we played with was slated for a 1H 2008 launch, and should be outfitted with either WiMAX or 3G - in the name of cost and battery life, the connectivity options will be an “either/or” proposition.

Intel shows off 'giant iPod Touch'

Intel demo'd what one staffer called a "giant iPod Touch" at the chip giant's gathering of Taiwanese developers this week.

The inflated tablet is based around an 11.1in touch-sensitive display and Intel's small form-factor Core 2 Duo processors - the same chips found in the MacBook Air and other ultra-skinny laptops.
ntel's offering is, of course, merely a concept, developed to encourage the company's customers to steer their own product design efforts. This one's called Urban Max, which implies folk carry these things around town centres, tuning in to the wireless internet and playing HD video.

No, we're not convinced either. Most people seem happy enough with devices like the Touch, the iPhone and the growing array of rival touchscreen handsets.

And it's not as if Intel's Mobile Internet Device (MID) notion has taken off in a big way - or at all - let alone a machine with a notebook-size screen, notebook-class processor, high-capacity SSD and probably Windows Vista.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

It has become so hard to choose a good aftermarket cooler for your CPU these days. With so many good brands offering such a broad spectrum of products one can quickly get a headache deciding what to buy. So, what do you do when you aren't sure what to buy? Well, you look for reviews, be it customer reviews at your favorite E-Store or on sites like this one. In this review we are going to be looking at a relative newcomer to the aftermarket-cooling arena, Antazone's AS-CU1000. Although it bares a visual resemblance to some of Zalman's offerings the similarities end there. With such a competitive market Antazone needed something special to get a foot in the door

Video: Moorestown MID platform taken for a spin around the Intel labs

We finally nabbed a video of the first Moorestown silicon -- a mashup of Intel's Lincroft and Langwell chips and a third party power management chip -- slapped together and running on a validation board inside of an Intel lab. It's nothing like the form factor of that crazy MID mockup Intel's been showing. Nevertheless, first silicon out of fab is pretty significant, especially when it promises 10x the power savings of Menlow (made famous by the Atom CPU) which Moorestown replaces. Full video after the break

Intel's crazy concept MID shown

Intel's been talking up MIDs for a while now, and it looks like LG's ready to buy in -- the two companies just announced that they'll be cooperating on a series of devices running Intel's Moblin OS on the Moorestown platform. Interestingly, the release says the first product will deliver the "functionality of today's high-end smart phones," which seems to suggest that Intel's willing to shift some product definitions around. Still, we wouldn't expect a straight-up phone out of this one -- we're hoping for something more like Intel's crazy concept MID shown here. We'll see what these two come up with over the next year, it should definitely be interesting.

Intel Core i7-920

Up until this juncture we have talked about features and specifications that generally apply to the entire Intel Core i7 Processor family. It's now time to focus solely on the i7-920 and look at the features this processor brings to the table that cause it to be called the Extreme Edition. The Core i7-920 derives its 2.66 GHz clock rate by multiplying the system's 133MHz base clock by the i7-920's standard multiplier of 20. Unfortunately the i7-920 has a locked multiplier the only exception is when turbo mode is activated and the conditions are right; in this case turbomode will automatically boost the base clock multiplier of 20 to 21, giving the you essentially 133 MHz of extra processing power without ever touching the first setting.

Intel Core i7-920

On November 3, Benchmark Reviews had the pleasure of publishing our first in a series of articles and reviews covering Intel's newest processor series, the Core i7. As we alluded to in that article the time frame from receiving our review kit to publishing the finished product was only a matter of days, so something had to give. We opted to stick with the basics and present a general overview of the entire product. As a result we had to omit many of the extras we would have normally included in a feature article of this type. Since the release of that article we have had a number of our readers request future articles in our series that deal more with with the specifics of each processor. The same group was somewhat adamant that we showcase both performance tuning and the overclocking capabilities of each product.
Today we are releasing the third review in our Core i7 series which focuses on the features and performance of the Intel Core i7-920. The Core i7-920 is considered to be the processor for the mainstream consumer primarily because of its price to performance ratio. The i7-920 doesn't have the unlocked multipliers that its more mature sibling does, but it is still a quite capable chip with its 2.66 GHz factory clock. We intend to share all of our findings and hope after reading this review you will have a much better understanding of the Core i7 family in general and the i7-920 in specific. We also plan to go into as complete of a discussion as possible on everything you can do to enhance capabilities this processor brings to the table. Unfortunately we don't have a QX9770, Intel's previous "King of the Hill", to compare the i7-920 to; but we should note that in all the test results we've seen the i7-920 outperforms the QX9770 in all processor dependant tasks. So the only true competition for the i7-920 are the other members of the Core i7 family which we will be testing for comparison purposes.
In our first article, Intel Core i7 CPU & DX58SO X58 Platform we covered most of the available information regarding both the Nehalem Technology and the architecture used with the Intel Core i7 Processor family. We will therefore not repeat that discussion, instead; our goal today is to spend most of our energy concentrating on those features and performance aspects of the Intel Core i7-920 (model BX80601920) that have led it and its other i7 kin to be dubbed "The Fastest Processor on the Planet" by Intel

DX58SO Motherboard

The Intel Desktop Board DX58SO is designed to use the Intel Core i7 processors with support for up to eight threads of raw CPU processing
