just look at the die size of that dual core itanium chip... wow... just wow... :slobber:
the pressler chip looks pretty much as large as a prescott core... interesting...
its made in 65nm so they def have added a lot of logic to it!
Montecito(Itanium) has 2x12 MB L3 cache and 1.72 billion transistors. Die size~580 sq.mm. Bus speed 533/667 MHz.
wow :O
holy bugger...1.72 billion.......*counts with fingers*
I wonder what kind of cooling that huge Montecito die would need :eek:
its not aircooled afaik, some custom liquid cooling i suppose
but im not sure i held one of those itanium 2s in my own hands at cebit! :slobber:
and it had a heatsink on it... damn that whole cartridge was heavy!
That Yonah and Smitfield are both dual cores, as well as the Presler Dempsey. But the Yonah and Smitfields has both cores on the same die. Whats the difference? Looking at Dempsey and Presler it seems to have two smaller dies.
why do you keep posting :slapass: slap: :nono: etc all the time? :confused: :D
noldor, the differenc eis that intel can pick two good clocking cores and make a "dual core cpu" with them putting them on the same package. that improves the yields... currently you have two cpu cores next to each other and if one of the clocks bad then you have to clock the entire dual core cpu lower.
Thanks for the info Saaya. Helpful as always :) :toast:
your welcome :)
Nice post Saaya
Yonah is socket 480
Demsey and Presler are socket 775
The I2 is made to run on air cooling and there are larger racks with AC cooling built into the side. I have not seen a liquid cooled I2 but I think they are out there.
thx charles, credits go to cooper though for finding that sweet pic! :D
he posted in another thread where it went pretty much unnoticed, i just posted a new thread for this :D
damn that itanium is big enough to work as a shaving mirror! :lol:
charles, do you know anything about 480 yet? i hope there will be 478 adapters so we can plug a yonah in an asus p4c deluxe or a dfi 925x t2 :slobber:
maybe a 955x with 478 socket? :D hmmm or why not a 955x board with a 480 socket :D too low demand though, not worth it for a mobo series i guess... too bad...
New chipsets are ready from several manufactures for the Dothan.
Napa should be ready and in OEMs hands in the next few weeks. I would expect something solid in July.
Yes I know something about the 480 ;)
Don`t know exactly, but I`ve seen some reports that Yonah will be on 478 pin Socket. here is the pic of it in my post attachmentQuote:
