Quote:I7 Is Better Then i5 because it has more cores then the i5. but the i5 will give you faster speeds. and i7 is still good if your running a lot of programs like photoshop E.T.C
Quote:Quad core i5s do exist btw
Quote:And hex core i7s exist, so they do have more cores.
Most i5s are quad core (>90%)
Most i7s are quad core (>90%)
Therefore no, i7s don't necessarily have more cores than i5s, in fact they usually don't.
Quote:And we're already working on that, for example tri-gate transistors in Ivy Bridge, as I mentioned in the text you quoted.
But trigate technology hasn't made a big difference to power dissipation.......
Most of the reduction in power dissipation in ivy bridge is due to the 32nm die shrink. The reduction in power dissipation from ivy bridge is exactly what we normally get when intel does a die shrink (about 25%).
Quote:we may discover something even better
which may have the advantage of fixing many issues, such as power dissipation.
Sure we may come up with some breakthrough technology that fixes the problem but what does this have to do with graphene? Nothing.
The fact of the matter is graphene isn't going to fix the power dissipation problem, end of story. Any technological breakthrough that fixes power dissipation (like photonics for example) will be completely unrelated to graphene wafers.
