Intel's Road Map
Tuesday August 23, 2005 6:01 PM EST
Intel CEO Paul Otellini told attendees of the Fall Intel Developer Forum that three new chips scheduled for the second half of 2006 are to use a new architecture that will succeed Netburst, currently used by its Pentium 4 and Xeon CPUs. Otellini also said that the company is working to develop powerful chips that consume only a half watt of power by the end of the decade. Otellini further stated that the company's new architecture for PC and server chips will combine the power-saving focus of the Banias architecture used to build the Pentium M notebook processor with the performance provided by Netburst.
The chips, due in the second half of 2006, are code-named Merom, Conroe and Woodcrest. Designed for notebooks, desktops and servers, respectively, they will cut the typical power consumption of notebooks to about 5 watts, desktops to 65 watts and servers to 80 watts. Otellini confirmed that the chips will be 64-bit capable and come with Intel's virtualization technology, the LaGrande security technology and the company's Active Management Technology.
