The latest processor from “i” family, has been tested and seems to have a huge processing power. In a comparison with Intel i7, Intel i9 has 6 cores instead of 4. This provides almost a linear increase of power, and i9 is 50% faster than i7 at the same internal CPU frequency. Despite all processing power, the usage of this capability is dependent of the applications which know how to use parallel computing. This means that i9, wasn`t in all tests that fast. Some of results depended of the architecture of the processor itself, because its memory speed won’t be as high as on the quad-core processors. I9 will be an advantage for rendering, 3D design, mathematical simulations and everywhere where power is a must and the software knows how to use multicore processing.
i9
As a possible release date, is probably January 2010, and this processor will be installed on high-end systems, with a high price and consume 130 W, compared to 95 W for i5 and i7 chips.
