You may have heard of VIIV from some of the IDF coverage that went on last week. Well, the Designtechnica crew delves a bit deeper into what VIIV brings to the table and what this shift by Intel means to the rest of the hardware developers.

"Since the beginning of the PC, we have measured performance by MHz; Intel is signaling that is about to end, however, as they focus on adding cores rather than just speed to increase performance. They are currently selling two core products and indicated they have four core products in the development process, with more and more cores likely to follow."
