Penyrn hasn't even been launched yet, and Intel is already demonstrating Penryn's successor? Well, they're certainly on top of things...

You showed some interesting stuff, and I read through the article with interest. What really threw me was your symantics. You sounded more like an Intel salesman than a reviewer. things like

quote:

---

Silverthorne is Intel's very simple x86 system-on-a-chip design, which will hopefully make its way into everything from smart phones to digital TVs.

---

like it matters if Intels solution makes it's way there versus someone elses solution. Or when you say

quote:

---

Nehalem is fully expected to close the gap between AMD and Intel when it comes to memory performance and multi-processor scalability.

---

which is just a pure guess at this point. If you say "may" instead of "fully expected to", it wouldn't sound like a used car salesman trying to covince me that this is already a done deal. I already get that enough from my contractors trying to convince me that their product has some magical properties that make it head and shoulders above the competition.

I don't read it like that at all...

For example:

[/quote]
Nehalem is fully expected by Intel to close the gap between AMD and Intel when it comes to memory performance and multi-processor scalability.[/quote]

Would you argue either of those are false?

Huh. That is exactly the way I read it. Methinks a fanboi got just a tad overzealous in the bias accusation department and read more into it than was meant to portray. Geez.

That would be the best way of putting it I think. Those two adjustments you made make it sound much better. The current writing implies a bias of the writer, but yours implies a bias from the company, which is to be expected. I'm not sure why it upset me to see my favorite site writing an article that seemed to show a favoritism toward a particular company, but I think it had more to do with the fact that I don't want to have to worry about the site that I use to make purchasing decisions having a bias. I want to be able to trust this site, because it is stressful when you lose confidence in the people you look to for help.

Just remember: this is the *Intel* Developer Forum, so any reporting is basically an overview of what Intel is saying and planning. Tradeshow articles don't tend to be quite as in-depth as actual reviews, and while we don't always explicitly state it or make it clear, meetings with any manufacturers are always them telling us what they hope/plan/want/etc.
