Well, one of the two at least. As Extreme Tech reports, Intel let out
word of the hereto "turbo mode" for its Nehalem Core i7 processors at
its big Intel Developer Forum this week, with it describing it as an
"entirely new process technology for power." More specifically, the
mode, or so-called "power gate," turns off cores that would otherwise
be left idle when they're not in use, and reroutes the power budget
that normally would be applied to those cores to the active cores,
which promises to further boost their performance without wasting
power. According to Intel, that'll be a standard feature across the
entire Nehalem family, including the first mobile versions of the
processor that'll be at the center of the Calpella platform, which is
on track for a launch sometime next year.
