Intel Developer Forum, Day 2: 6 Gb/s, USB 3.0, And Lucid

[Guest]

Loyd Case is back from a second day of IDF 2009 with his impressions on DisplayPort, SATA 6 Gb/s, Intel's upcoming Moorestown platform, Turbo Boost technology, USB 3.0, and Lucid's heterogeneous multi-GPU technology running on MSI's Big Bang motherboard.

Interesting article. I'm finding it more and more difficult keeping up with all the technology.

It's interesting that USB 3.0, DisplayPort, and Sata 6 would all be coming to fruition at about the same time, since they are all interfaces/ports

i'm really looking forward to usb 3.0, not to say that the other techs aren't as impressive, i'm just tired of the depressingly slow usb 2.0
i've always been a fan of display port, definitely gonna pick up a 5870, perhaps an X2..

whats all this boycott intel spam shit?

saljr its 99.9999999% safe to say your typing away on some form of device that has something to do with some form of Intel developed technology - boycotting intel is like burying your head in the sand and saying you dont want better products ever - at the end of the day there the market leaders bringing us new stuff all the time - say thank you if anything 😀

also thank AMD for competition

wonder if its compatible and capable of converting back to VGA/15 pin monitors - got two 19's still

This is interesting!
It's going to bring new challenges to benchmarks, as now you'll need a fixed room temperature to benchmark systems with turbo boost.
Benchmarks tested of the same device, in cold or hot environments could give different results. Something perhaps not noticable with Corei7 machines, but on atom levels a 10 degrees C environment could boost the benchmark by several frames per second over a 35 degrees environment.

I hear all of this, and wished we could already buy a netbook with turbo boost on CPU and GPU, and a netbook equipped with PixelQi's LCD!

Add that to a 6cell battery, that gives 18 hours of battery life, and I'm sold!
Hope those netbooks will stay under $300 though!

USB 3.0 is soooooooooo needed - speed looks good - is there +12v support, or just +5 - we need an interface that can support 7200 rpm drives with 1 connection

Loyd,It's nice to see you bounced back from "that other site". Congrats and keep it up!
