Intel released a range of processors and a set of chipsets to support them in building systems this week.This being called the second generation of the core micro-architecture.Features of this micro-architecture (known as the Sandy Bridge) include getting the memory controller, the PCI Express (PCIe) controller, and video functions all located within the processor die. These then can share data and power much more easily. The micro-architecture will scale from the smallest netbooks to the biggest servers. What these push performance will buy are a wide variety of actions while consuming less power. Media processing features have been polished up. Built-in DirectX 10.1 capabilities to new programming that Intel has promised will considerably improve video transcoding, photo editing, and other similar tasks (such as watching Blu-ray 3D content). A major revamping of Turbo Boost has been done to boost performance for short periods.New Advanced Vector Extensions will push floating point–intensive application performance.
