Didn't the Core architecture come from the Intel Pentium M Israeli team? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_(microarchitecture)#Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_(microarchitecture)...
- KiwiJohnno 10mo agoCorrect. Core came from Pentium M, which actually came from the Israeli team who took the Pentium 3 architecture, and coupled this with the best bits from the Pentium 4
- roughly 10mo agoYeah, that bit was pure snark - point was Intel’s gotten caught resting on their laurels a couple times when their architectures get a little long in the tooth, and often it’s existential enough that the team that pulls them out of it isn’t the one that put them in it.
- ethbr1 10mo agoI think that's an overly reductive view of a very complicated problem space, with the benefit of hindsight. If you wanted to make that point, Itanium or 64-bit/multi-core desktop processing would be better examples than Core.
- branko_d 10mo agoYes, and the newest Panther Lake too! https://techtime.news/2025/10/10/intel-25/ https://techtime.news/2025/10/10/intel-25/
