Intel's Core 2 Under Linux
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 08/27/2006 - 17:43.
By now, you've probably heard that Intel has a new chip out that went by the code-name “Conroe” but now goes by the names Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. So while you may have read about how great these chips are under Windows, I bet you have heard little to no news about Linux performance or even Linux support. As usual, this is where Linux Hardware comes in to fill in the gaps.
I have each of these top two new processors from Intel as well as some DDR2-800 and a new NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT. I'll walk you through the features of this new core processor technology from Intel, take you through support and performance, and end up with a discussion on power, heat, cost, and availability. There's a lot to cover here, so let's get going.
Duo core experience for the enthusiasts ?
This article gives you the latest info on a duo core working system, working with Linux.
Hyper threading revealed as number of cores(32 bit) plus one equzl to five. Posix will be needed to work with workloads needing many more threads.
Hopefully Mandriva is up to the 965 technology with HP certification.
