Intel’s senior performance analyst François Piednoel was in attendance at CES this year and demonstrated Core i7’s overclocking abilities using a standard water-cooling setup.
Despite Phenom II being seen at speeds of above 6GHz using extreme cooling methods, François’ main reason for doing this was to show that Core i7 offers better overclocking potential than AMD’s Phenom II when sticking to traditional water-cooling.

The less we say about this one the better, we’re afraid. Billed as “the ultimate messaging device for healthcare and hospitality,” the M155 Messenger functions as a speaker phone, a wireless messaging device (presumably SMS), an alarm clock, and boasts a whopping three-line display. And we wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it. Not as a watch or, as NEC-Philips recommends, a necklace.

When Ed and Hugo reviewed Intel’s Core i7 processor there was a huge amount of information to pass on but one piece of the puzzle still remained. There are three processors in the Core i7 range which consists of the Core i7 920 that runs at 2.66GHz, the Core i7 940 at 2.93 GHz and the Core i7 965 Extreme that has a clock speed of 3.2GHz and a terrifying price of £845. The dollar exchange rate hasn’t done us any favours but no matter how you look at things there are very few people in the market for a desktop processor that sells for £845.

Just days after we heard about AMD’s oddly-positioned processor for ultrathin laptops, the Neo, Intel is reported to be working on something almost identical. Are these bridge laptops the secret next big thing?
The two big chipmakers seem to think so. CNET’s sources at CES told them that the processor, which will be priced above the Atom but below the pricey ULV Core 2 Duos found in ultraportables and current thin laptops like the MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy 133, are “going to enable notebooks that are less than one inch (25mm) thick,” but that don’t cost as much as the aforementioned computers. The performance level will be commensurate with the price, give or take: significantly more powerful than the Atom, but by no means a flagship processor.
