Intel criticized Apple yesterday, claiming that the iPhone’s slow processing speeds are a result of Apple’s decision to stick with ARM chipsets.

Last month, this space was filled with news about Nehalem, Intel’s next generation of super-tiny, power-miserly, über-muscular, multicored processors. (If you missed my musings, you can find them on the Intertubes here). Among the many advances of this data-wrestling wonder will be its ability to process two simultaneous streams of data and instructions - also known as threads - through each of its cores. In its first incarnation, Nehalem will have up to eight cores, so we’re talking 16 threads coursing through this baby in a process called Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT).

Every now and then you may want to be able to use a Windows-only application. Thankfully you can do that on your Intel-based Mac.
