Intel Demonstrates Arrandale Running WinZip
New chips are faster than old chips. That's progress for you.
Now that we know Intel is well on its way for Westmere production, we should soon expect 32nm-based Clarkdale for desktops and Arrandale for notebooks.
With Clarksfield with Nehalem architecture is now here for high-end Core i7 notebooks, the Core 2 Duo's days are numbered as it slowly slips down the charts. The 32nm Arrandale will be a replacement for the Core 2 Duo, with some expecting the new chip to arrive with Core i3 branding.
We can expect dual-cores with Arrandale, but there will be Hyper-Threading technology, giving it the ability to act as four logical cores. With the addition of HT and other architectural improvements brought about by Nehalem, notebooks based on Arrandale will be significantly faster than those built off of Core 2 Duo. There will also be on-chip graphics, which, love it or hate it, will make things easier for OEMs to design smaller systems. The only question is if you can wait until 2010 for those to arrive.
We've captured a video from the Intel Developer Forum showcasing some of Arrandale's performance advantages. It's nothing too groundbreaking (the newer technology is faster – surprise, surprise), but at least you get to see it up and running... WinZip.

Who uses winzip anymore?
Who the hell uses Winzip?
*facepalm* I guess no one informed them that old program is old.
Hell uses WinZip, who the?
WinRAR FTW
"the newer technology is faster – surprise, surprise"
What? I thought they were going to try and make it slower. That's disappointing.
I thought there was enough news today to warrant skipping the obvious...

WinRAR FTW
Why would you use winrar when you have 7-zip, peazip and other totally free great performing arching guis or newer ones like nanozip with amazing compression raitos.
the new player sux >.< I can't seek I have to wait for it to fully load...
That is like buying a 5870 2gb with the six mini display ports just to play tetris and carmageddon.
or to just play crysis.
i crack myself up....

I can winzip carmageddon finally with my Arrandale chip!
woooo carmageddon
why waste it on tetris when you can play rouge.
While I have not used Winzip in a while, the last time I did use it was to make a self extracting archive. Also, some people just like it, for whatever reason...like my Grandma who also can't let go of AOL's software even though she hasn't had AOL in years.
unlike amd they still dont have a tangible mascot, horray for amd's spider and dragon platform. lol

It's not really funny. They've showed us many times that they release something brand new that does not bring any improvements in performance. One is sure the new 32 nm chips will make more money for them. They'll be cheaper at least.
i think you all misunderstood the purpose of WinZip for the demo here. The Arrandale is showcasing here it's new AES-NI instructions which is used in the WinZip with encryption demo. If you use WinzIP or any other program that does some encryption, you will see performance drops.
ooh ooh! I can answer this. The Intel Developer Forum uses WinZip!!!
What did I win???
Noone used that one was running on XP and the other on a x64 win 7? lol what a joke.

you won brains, that's what
LAWL.... somebody buying a system just to play crysis...
That anti-theft capability is pretty sweet. I bet somebody will be anxious to get into the inner workings of that and see if they're able to remotely kill people's computers.
you won brains, that's what
Incredible!
What? Is winzip the new killer PC app?

You mean like when they came out with the P4 architecture? YES, it was slower than the P3 architecture.
It does happen.
How about the audience? Was there an audience or the clapping was recorded.
Who in this day and age claps after seeing a file been zipped, WOW, were they getting pay?
Maybe those people never saw a computer before. What a bunch of pansies.
Incredible!
yes it's a once in a lifetime experience, but you will die, since you'll get another person's memories

WAIT......is that why Amd beat them? XD
I thought they actually accomplished something
WAIT......is that why Amd beat them? XDI thought they actually accomplished something
Well they still won when people went to buy computers and they picked the highest clock speed (ghz) system available - "oh yes 1.7ghz is definitly faster then that AMD 1.2ghz - ITS A BIGGER NUMBER!"
so, the next file system coming from Intel will be using winzip?
The new chips are faster than the old ones? I thought everyone enjoyed things slower (trust me I'm a doctor).
