We think games rock on Intel technology. Read what we are up to and our thoughts on the next big thing.
Ah, Friday, my favorite day for watching a few videos at work. I've been monitoring how many developers are watching all of the segments of the video series we've posted on the Take Five site. It is natural that not everyone will make it to the end, but I'm wondering if there is anything we could do better. First, [...]
I just had coffee with an old friend, an M.D. (and an active extreme gamer) active in building a virtual world for medical emergency preparedness. He's very excited about his work, and said he receives avatars and location models from many sources around the world in his medical circles, and is now building a repository to store [...]
It seems that lately everyone has been getting into my favorite hobby ... PC gaming! It's so cool to have this interest becoming more mainstream - I can actually talk with people who play the games I play and I don't get weird looks like I'm from Mars.

As I said before, a C-state is an idle state. The processor isn't doing anything useful, so why not shut some things off? Think of it in terms of your house. If you're not at home, why keep the lights, radio, and those 6 televisions going? Modern processors have several different C-states representing increasing amounts [...]
