Going into IDF, I was looking forward to seeing and hearing more stories behind what Intel engineers where building into new chips with codenames like Nehalem, Larrabee and Canmore.
In this video, Intel’s Pat Gelsinger shows off Nehalem, the new Intel chip architecture that will be branded Intel Core i7. He and his team show how new energy efficiency smarts are being built in to allow processors to kick into Turbo Mode. Intel’s Eric Kim stepped back into the TV era and showed why we still love TV and how it’s evolving into a super rich quality entertainment experience, where High Definition 1080p looks devine and you can simultaneously tap into the Internet to check our latest news or Twitter feeds.

During his keynote, Eric showed the new Intel CE3100 System on Chip (photo & video blog by Gizmodo) running an entertainment set top box that could stream MPEG 2 and H.264 video over the Internet simultaneously. He then grabbed a remote control and showed how the CE3100 (codenamed Canmore) allows you to fast forward through recorded videos or DVDs smoothly, without jagged and jumpy frames. That way, we can watch and listen in super fast motion — will we learn to consumer information faster?! All of this, and the chip consumers less than 10 watts of electricity on average.
Pat Gelsinger also gets into Larrabee, Intel’s codename for new architecture aimed and a new level of visual computing. He showed a diagram of the new architecture design and demonstrated how the ability to work with many 3-D translucent surfaces will help game and virtual world designers to create visualizations that allow us to move in and around objects the environment with more clarity.
We’ll keep learning more about Intel Core i7, CE 3100 and Larrabee in the coming months. If you have questions after seeing this video, leave it in the comments and I’ll try to finding experts who can or can’t share insight.

We do implement Software defined radio solutions on general purpose multicore CPU like a DVB-T modulator or demolulator or a GSM demodulator.
We consider General Purpose multicore CPUs a better solution than special purpose DSPs.
We consider Larrabee a perfect fit for massive parallel Software Defined Radio and would like to work with Intel Reserach on the use of Larrabee for Software Defined Radio.
Can you please get me in Contact with Larrabee Product Management.
Thank you
