Default Intel postpones Braidwood

WORD HAS REACHED our tender ears that Braidwood, the Intel flash on mobo hard drive cache has been postponed. It won't be coming out with the upcoming Westmere based CPUs, but it may slide in before Sandy Bridge with a platform refresh.

While we have never been a fan of such schemes, we like the fact that Intel is trying to improve performance instead of simply selling chips. It may not be hard to beat such laughable and wrongheaded attempts as MS's ReadyBoost, but you should at least make a buyer notice an improvement for the extra cash. Intel's last attempt, code named Robson, didn't exactly set the world on fire.

The Taiwanese vendors didn't seem to think Braidwood did much to improve anything, and were quite vocal about that at Computex. With the postponement, likely until the next chipset, it looks like Intel is serious about making it worthwhile or not at all.
