IntelAccording to [tag]Intel[/tag], its 45-nanometer chip is ready for the action. This new release is part of a marketing plan from Intel to re-gain the lost market share during the last year.

Well… they have been stuck for two years with the same crappy Pentium 4, and except the Intel Core saga, they haven’t produced anything else. In fact, Intel Core was a chip mainly designed for mobile devices and laptops… so, basically, Pentium 4 has been running on PC’s since Windows XP appeared.

[tag]Penryn[/tag] is supposed to be a shrink (in size, of course) of the Core 2 Duo, with a new feature called [tag]SSE4 [/tag]instructions, a new instruction system for the microprocessor.

The thing is, fellas, that both Intel and Microsoft keep telling us the same thing: faster! it goes faster! buy it, you can’t miss it!. What happens with Windows XP? It has more holes than a cheese. It doesn’t matter if your computer has 2 terabytes of RAM or the hard-disk of the size of the National Library… Windows will still constantly fail and you will have to press that unnoying “Don’t Send” button.

Why would I want to send? Most of the times, the only answer you get is a “Unknow Error that can’t be resolved”. What then? Am I paying $300 for a cheese?

Expensive cheese.
