APCMag has tested Intel's latest Core i7 processor architecture that does away with the Front Side Bus and replaces it with the company's QuickPath Interconnect and has (back from the dead) hyperthreading. "This month, Intel moves on from the Core microarchitecture to the next generation of processors for mobile, desktop and servers, codenamed Nehalem and officially named the Core i7 family. We've spent a few weeks with Intel's test kit for the new desktop part, codenamed Bloomfield, as well as the new compatible motherboard chipset the X58 Express, codenamed Tylersburg."

LOL
Took me a while to get that one, but yes, it's a slight co-incidence that the next version of Windows is 'Windows 7' and Intel's next chip is the i7.
AMD had the Athlon XP whilst Windows XP was around, now it's Intel's turn eh?
I wonder if there's some bidding war that went between Intel and AMD to get the rights to '7'?
