There were some interesting responses to my analysis piece last week about Apple's new Boot Camp Windows-on-Mac software, but all the evidence still points in one direction...
Intel has released new programming tools designed to increase the performance of software written for its Pentium, Xeon and Itanium processors.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
As a drum-roll to its developer conference to be held in Shanghai in April, Intel has released details of its latest chip designs including the six-core Dunnington. Check out our photo gallery to get an insight into Intel's latest developments.

Google's Andy Rubin talks nuts and bolts about the Linux-based phone software, the lessons of Sidekick, and the beauty of the iPhone.
Intel's David Perlmutter showed the company's new quad-core laptop computers at the Intel Developer Conference in San Francisco. He demonstrated how video conferencing can be done in HD--even with other applications running in the background--without sacrificing power and performance.
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
Fujitsu's foray into Centrino 2 laptops is solid, but the competition is offering more features at a lower price.
The latest bundle of mobile technologies from Intel arrives late and somewhat piecemeal, but delivers a useful set of incremental enhancements.
The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.
The Lenovo M57 eco is a small form-factor desktop that is promoted by the company as energy efficient. We found it to be a capable and powerful office performer for its size, but with limited upgrade options.
