The new Intel Core i7 : Wow!

November 3rd, 2008

The new Intel Core i7 is a quad-core CPU that executes 8 threads in parallel, with the help of hyperthreading.

To put it shortly, the Core i7 is amazing, offering nearly the performance-level of bi-Xeon (2×4 cores) in the prosumer-level, and twice (2X) the performance of the best AMD quad-core processors while consuming less power!

I could not wait to have a bi-core (4 threads) or even quad-core (8-threads) Core i7 on the iMac that will offer the performance level of current MacPro :-)

Eco-friendly 24in display

The new 24in display from Apple is not only gorgeous, complete, including iSight camera and mic along with an USB HUB, a power adaptator for MacBook (old or new), but also eco-friendly…

The new Apple Cinema Display 24in

Steve jobs present it as eco-friendly because of the LED lights, and avoidance of any eco-dangerous substance. But it’s not the full story.

The point that makes me happy is that it is power-saver too, consuming less than 1W when in sleep mode and less than 130W while used as a display. It is well under the average power consumption of the 24″ displays, and it will save you money from the day one, on your electricity bill.

Thnaks Steve :-)
