software developers? As I said, you are
under-estimating the young programmers:
they can code. I meet a few every month:
they are waiting for their time to become
lead programmers. This will be funny in
the same way it is unthinkable to program
without C or .NET/Java. Meanwhile we
have an amazing mode called Turbo mode
to accelerate less threaded code.

At any point in the development process
does intel ever actually consider the wants
of overclockers? Some of us consider their
needs from start to finish.

Since nothing is ever perfect, what would you like to
change/update in Nehalem? I would like more cores . I
don’t know why. I think it is coming!
Finally
Who is your favourite band/singer? U2 and Pascal Obismo,
a French singer.
What is your favourite song? Revolution by The Beatles. A
lot of inspiration...
Have you ever sat in on any extreme overclocking
sessions? If so, who with? With Art Webb The MAN of IDF
OC demos...
Are there any overclockers out there that you look up to? If
I give a name, the others will kill me. Yes, I exchange very
often thinking with FUGGER. He has a very professional
approach to OC. It is probably because of his big
background in air conditioning ;-)

Are there any overclocks
that stand out as your
favourite of all time? Art
Webb was ahead of his
time. Hello Art.
Which forums do you
monitor? Many many
many many...
Nehalem’s media handling part 2
Do you have a blog site
where people can interact
with you and read about
your work? I prefer to use
the forums, like this, I can
give a less ‘corporate’
view, and express my
personal opinion
If you can design such a good processor, why can’t
you design a heat-sink fan that fits elegantly into a
motherboard and which doesn’t try and cut all your fingers
off! [strangely Francois didn’t answer this one - ed]
Thank you very much to Francois for spending so much
time answering everyone’s questions. The company line
can be found at www.intel.com/performance, but legend
has it, that if you type, ‘Francois, Francois, Francois’ in a
popular forum, he’ll appear.

The new name for
Francois’ Nehalem.
Next month Tim Handley, the man who put Gigabyte at
the forefront of motherboards, will be answering your
questions on Gigabyte and the industry in general.
