With today's launch of their new "Lynnfield" based Core i5 and i7 800 series processors, and the accompanying P55 Express chipset, Intel's current flagship CPU microarchitecture--codenamed Nehalem--finally trickles its way down into the mainstream computing segment. Since Nehalem first landed on the desktop in the form of the Core i7 line of processors, it has unequivocally owned the performance segment of the market. They are simply the fastest desktop processors currently available, bar none. But while the Core i7 was riding high, Intel still had the established Core 2 line-up to satisfy the mainstream, though meeting market demand for a refresh here as well was obviously the end game.Along...

Hello all! How is every one doing today? I hope you're all doing well! I'm still in a fog trying to comprehend some of this theories put forth by Stephen Hawking and his contemporaries in the special / interview that aired on the Science Channel last night. I love hearing theories about quantum mechanics and the birth of the universe. Especially since we really know very little about our origins. Consider that fact that we have just now detected two new moons on Saturn and a new gas on Jupiter. If we're still finding things in our own solar system, how much is out there that we haven't even begun to imaging yet? Science is so cool... WaterChill...
