The next Intel processor, using an architecture codenamed “Nehalem”, brings a surprising boost of performance compared to current CPUs. We’re talking about anywhere amoung 20% and 40% in intensive applications, particularly the ones that are multi-core friendly (video compression, software 3D rendering…).
