When you have the heart of a tiger, the strength of an elephant and tons of money to spend - even in the midst of an economic downturn – you don’t stop pursuing R&D to make make better products. Intel can be called a lot of things, but slow to move or slow to keep its huge competitive edge over rival, AMD, is not some of them.

 


With the release of the “Nehalem” core last year, Intel showed that it too was moving to an on-die memory controller which not only has some really good performance perks to it but is a move that proved to benefit Intel and its users. Nehalem helped to keep Intel squarely in the pole position of performance over AMD and todays release of the updated “Lynnfield” core helps to cement its leadership even more.

The first thing you’ll notice with Lynnfield is a new naming scheme with the release of the Core I5 – this is a “Nehalem-like” CPU that’s priced below the $200 threshold and has tons of performance to help it command a price-to-performance ratio that makes anything near its price-range seem a bit absurd to think about. The primary difference between the Core I5 and I7 is that the latter has hyperthreading.
