The CPUs of computers are equipped with more and more CPU cores, but rarely are all the cores busy. Often, not all cores are required by the software or simply not used. In this case, it makes sense to let the actual working cores run faster, and unnecessary slow. This is called dynamic overclocking.

Often it would be better, of course, the programmers of the software would take advantage of the multi-core CPUs, but the software development lags advances in chip production after quite a while.

Intel has been the market leader for more than a year his Turbo Boost, AMD, however, had this been counter not match. Turbo Core is not as sophisticated as Turbo Boost, but it is AMD, the hurdle for the use of turbo-core low. There are no new motherboard, no new drivers, no extra software, such as AMD Overdrive required.

According to AMD will support all Socket AM3 motherboards Turbo Core, when a BIOS update was made. Not surprisingly, therefore, that used Turbo Core AMD not already in its recently announced Magny-Cours CPUs for servers. When first using the new hexa-core processors, the Phenom series II X6 (code name: Thuban) Turbo Core. The Phenom CPUs, AMD will launch X6 II during the current quarter.

Surely not tell you anything new but what the hell is happening with Apple hardware? That great company that Apple is and always has been “medals” for being an innovator in introducing new technologies and features into their equipment is starting to find more outdated than ever. Computers that take years to update, teams that fall below their benefits, professional computer clearly at a disadvantage with other similar equipment and Why Apple Is not remember which also makes computers?

Lately it seems that Apple hardware is little they can provide are design improvements and some other special features like illuminated keyboards, track pads more comfortable … is that all? I hate to tell, but if today is that entire Apple is offering on most computers.

I say most because the iMac if it falls short of other players, updated, with new processors and technologies last minute … however the other teams has stagnated for over a year on the same hardware.

This applies to the entire range of notebooks, Mac Mini and the MacPro, computers should receive an update as soon as possible, but it seems that time does not arrive.

From 9TO5Mac be questioned even the relationship between Apple and Intel, according to them and not all is rosy between the two companies. Some evidence of this is the output of computers with 12-inch HP i7 processors designed for computers that require a low-power as is the case.

Was not Apple the company that used to receive news from Intel before anyone else because of their image and how to sell?

While Intel i7, i5 and i3 are not a huge leap compared to current models if they provide interesting features and even that little extra power is interesting as it uses.

Besides this the image detail, but these processors are not a radical change when they “sell”. That is, most people who know the technology is simply guided more by what is advertised or presented as the ultimate best, and Apple is clearly losing all those potential customers.

But one thing makes maintaining hope or at least not falls into that feeling that only thinks iPad Apple, iPhone and iPods. Not long ago Steve Jobs made these statements:

2010 will be a great year for all our portable

Really? Man, if Steve Jobs has said they have no doubt about it, sure they are keeping a surprise or at least a technology that differs a little from the rest of their devices, but until then I will have this feeling of “neglect” that gives the company today.

Although the way, hopefully by the time they reach these new models or restyling of current developments come about hardware issues.

And of course, hopefully not forget the graphics look that great abandoned by Apple in its equipment over the years and decide to include recent models of past generations and not as happened to the current iMac.
