Recently I have been researching about what will happen to processors in the future- but what have I found? Basically a whole load of information with technical language that I did not understand. Finally I found an article on Intel's latest productions and ideas.
Here are main points from the article that relates to the future plans of processors-
Intel Details Future Processor Plans, March 29, 2007
-Intel gave a preview into upcoming processor plans, laying out what's ahead with its forthcoming chips, codenamed "Penryn" and "Nehalem."
-Nehalem will feature some major advances. The processors will have up to eight cores and Intel plans to bring back a blast from the past, the Hyperthreading technology first introduced in its early Pentium 4 processors. Each core in a Nehalem processor will be able to process two threads, meaning an eight-core processor can handle up to 16 threads.
-Penryn chips will operate at the same or less power than Intel's current dual core processors and introduce a new advanced power management state called Deep Power Down Technology. Intel claims that this new technology reduces the power of the processor during idle periods to such an extent that internal transistor power leakage is no longer a factor.
- Penryn is getting quite a boost. The clock speed will be around 3.3GHz, up from the 2.93GHz of current top of the line Core 2 processors, and the bus speed will be 1333MHz or even 1600MHz. The current bus runs at 1066MHz.
