IDF Stuff, I am going to post in here, so lets have some convo!

Update:
From the Q and A with Barrett at the end he re-iterated that they have the differnet micro-architecture within the core. But the software support will mean it will run on both. We believe that it will be a pure addressing thing. But until Intel release the part later this year we will not be able to establish if its the AMD instruction set which Intel have IP rights on. From what he said we believe this to be the case, meaning it runs the A64 Windows XP version...

The IPF software from Itanium of course will not run on this solution but lets be honest - that was kind of obvious.

Just to let you know at 2pm SF time - which is about 10pm your time - I will have meeting with AMD, we will see what they have to say.

We will also have a brief amount of coverage on the Digital Home from Intel, as well as our Keynote writeup.

This afternoon we will also go to the tech showcase which will allow me to release some hidden secrets

Has there been much chatter about PCI Express yet. I know Nvida have updates their webby.

Anyone know what the time difference is?

[BlueBot]

David, like your post about PMT on the main page, ahem

Think the time diff is -9 hours

oi, Inteltastic is _MY_ word! thief!

Right so you got another whack of content today - I have 2 more pieces to writeup as well as tommorows content - which will be a keynote, and probably a feature on PCI-Express.

I am having tonight off, no Intel, no work - I feel really ill.

[DR]

Just woke up again; yes at stupid o-clock, got some new stories ready to go live for you guys; however I am going to take a few hours off.

It is like 5am here, and I am suffering from some sort of throat disorder

Last night was fun - managed to meetup with a good friend in the bay area for a chat, and went out for some dinner. I have overdosed on Intel and it was nice to escape.

Since the linkage in our IDF reports now carries one to here, I thought I would do a quick line to say thanks to Intel and "hey" to all of you for reading

[DR]

Just had a round table with Intels CTO - Pat Gelsinger, most of the questions were pointess; however my question in regards to the wireless power possibilities came out with a pretty detailed reponse.

Basically it can be done; however it can have problems due to the induced power regulation. aka it would only be a trickle charge.

[DR]

"IBM didn't see the need for 32bit in the PC system (and intel didn't see the need for 64bit in the PC. Schmucks)."

[DR]

Quick tab - the thing which I found funny was the statement about the power source and the trickle charge - Pat said that it was his fantasy... I worry for his wife.

[DR]

Right; just finished with NVIDIA - I have done IDF now; I have 2 more stories for you though!

[DR]

I am finally home - 1 week and 9 hours...
