That thing is huge :eek:

[Frank M]

That thing is huge :eek:

Hueg liek xbox :eek:
and that's already 45nm...
(if it's real and not some 4.01 prank...)

[C0ncrete]

Can't wait!!

[MichelinGuy]

Hmm, so that's a quadcore @ 32nm?! :eek: That L3 cache sure takes in a lot of space :wth:

[largon]

1€ coin is 23.25mm in diameter so the die is around 13.3mm × 19.1mm = 254mm^2.

MichelinGuy,
It's 45nm, not 32nm.

[Master_G]

Could have got a less scuffed coin to put next to it, not quite the shiny US ones they usually use in these shots!

[Periander6]

Looks like Shintai was way off on this being an under 200mm^2 chip.

[leomax]

So how long shoul i wait :D

jesus thats a big die ... the chip that goes under it is gona be huge too

Please be advised that posting pr0n on XS will not be tolerated!

( Got any more?) :D

No, thats still 45nm I beleive

[savantu]

Umhh...that's the chip , bare and naked before your eyes.:yepp:

how many you planning to buy :D

Umhh...that's the chip , bare and naked before your eyes.:yepp:

thats the DIE if im right and the chip is the green pcb it sits on?

[Movieman]

how many you planning to buy :D


As many as you'll send me the money for!:yepp:

[Origin_Unknown]

As many as you'll send me the money for!:yepp:

how much of one will $10 get you :D

[Movieman]

how much of one will $10 get you :D

Maybe a 2 second glimpse of one!:rofl:

Da da daaaamn :D

sweet... ill send you $10 as a late xmas pressie and you can have a look ;)

[STaRGaZeR]

NUMBERS WE WANT!!! :p: :D

[fellix_bg]

WARNING: Naked Nehalem dies on a loose! Be aware of sudden smoke & fire - it's not a real thing! :rofl:

[Boogerlad]

how did they manage to take the die out? any pcb pics?

[FischOderAal]

you don't seem to know how processors are made, do you? (no offense intended :up: )

at first many of such DIEs you see in this thread are made on one wafer (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=wafer_2_zoll_bis_8_zzn0.jpg). then they are cut out and you get single DIEs which are then assembled on a PCB (and most get an IHS afterwards).

so these little buggers are just one step away from being usable processors :up:

[BrownTown]

Gonna need a new waterblock.

FFS, that is enormous. I can just imagine the price!

Just from inspection it doesn't really look any bigger than current quad cores, just this is one die isntead of two.

[AliG]

We really should compare it to the size of a k10 die, that would give us a better representation of where it should be at

[fellix_bg]

Barcelona: 283 mm²
Nehalem: 246 mm²
Shanghai: 243 mm²

Things are getting smaller, definitely. :D

[Hornet331]

not really more than a quad intel now.

but you need a new block anyway -> new socket. :p: (at least a new mounting kit :D )

[STaRGaZeR]

I hope D-Tek or someone else releases a socketB FuZion mounting kit :p:

[p2501]

Right. I don't want to know how much heat this many transistors will dump if overclocked. Still, me wants!

[Hornet331]

cant be worse then a phenom. :D

[AliG]

true, but deneb will be smaller, not to mention propus will be among the smallest quadcores out yet (including total yorkfield die size)

[disruptfam]

nice!

[Apollonas]

Really, Can't wait any longer...:slobber:

[maxxxxel]

Would be nice if you could buy defective single die's or even a whole wafer.
A whole wafer would be too large as a coffee mat

[Anemone]

Yeah I'm thinking that chip is gonna get toasty :)

Aside from needing a new nozzle arrangement is that thing going to end up longer than a single dimension of the fuzion?

wafers arn't cheap they are in the x000 US$.

[FischOderAal]

wafers arn't cheap they are in the x000 US$.

and some of them are recycled.

[NotFred]

So thats the quad core ones.... Two of those together for the Octo-Core?!
