>Intel has paraded its new ‘Lakefield’ processor design around the press and the public as a paragon of new processor innovation. Inside, Intel pairs one of its fast peak performance cores with four of its lower power efficient cores, This is Intel in a nutshell. That was an innovation ARM made a decade ago. So why in the hell is Intel marketing touting it as Intel innovation. They clearly have some understanding of their customer base as morons. The atom cores are basically an expensive failure, doing a bad job of immmitating their larger cousins and a great job of reminding everyone that Intel hasn't designed a new CPU architecture since Itanium.
