Those are fiscal year ends/Quarters, not product launch quarters. Two years ago Conroe for Desktop launched during the 3rd Quarter.Quote:

Averill and Conroe to launch later this year
Intel will announce a state-of-the-art digital office platform code named Averill, and roll out the next generation of microprocessors for desktop computers, called Conroe, in the third quarter.
Damn :[
Wow. Looks like i will def be holding off upgrading till late next year. These chips are beasts!!
Yeah, when we watched quad core first arrive (even dual core), there was not much... but over the past year and half or so, I am quite surprised.Quote:

Most impressive are a few of the game engines, UT3 and Lost Planet are two great examples of games using > 2 cores well.
Funny how ppls perspective can change so abruptly.Quote:

I don't think I'll be able to build a PC after this summer....
since you bought already the ram as it says on your sig, yes because youll then have to spend on DDR3 for nehalem, or is that what you are trying to ask??
In this review they are using 64bit Vista which offers a 10% speed improvement over the 32bit version.Quote:

This is getting awkward.
Well , K10 went all around in getting slower than the competition.It's one thing to offer the best single thread performance and offer the best multithreaded performance ( which looks to be the case for Nehalem ) and perform only "good enough" like the K10.Quote:

But K10 feels smoother. Sorry, bad joke. :)Quote:

And that x2 is definately on its last legs perfromance wise :PQuote:

Not true! Only multithreaded Lame was “Intel’s edition” 3.97a, real distribution wasn’t MThreaded ‘cos testing showed that MThreaded version produced lower quality of sound (everything is elaborated on LAME community forums)… iThunes is nowhere threaded!Quote:

In Lost Planet, only some levels are MThreaded (Cave), WiC can’t see beyond 2 cores, so as Crysis who’s struggling to use second core more effectively. UT3 has the best MT optimization and will use a mush cores you can throw, but scaling beyond three cores is dropping rapidly. Not to mention 3DMArk who’s only using singlethread for graphic test!Quote:
Games: Any recently released game, UT3 multithreaded, Crysis multithreaded, Lost Planet multithreaded, World in Conflect multithreaded.
who cares about superpi?Quote:
Though not all SW has become multithreaded... superPi is still single threaded :)
I don't get all the negativity from the usual well known AMD sympathizers. This last while are ears have been sore listing to tales of how phenoms great scaling and multi threaded performance are what matters in the real world as whats the point in having a quad and worrying about single threaded performance? You all just look silly now. Nehalem will have amazing single threaded performance and better scaling than k10, What is really not to like? Also because the tests are being run on early crippled hardware, these scores will only get better, No?
10x for the benches Anand!
Nehalem's performance is good, but it should be better with the retail boards and final silicon.
As for the multi-threaded software, there are a lot of dual-threaded applications, but there are no four threads optimized desktop apps. Having 8 threads and a incredible bandwidth, Nehalem will shine in multi socket environment. IMO, a dual socket Nehalem will compete against a quad socket Barcelona server.
Bloomsfield should be in the 400-500$ range and up. And I´m sure they want to sell all those at launch. Else 2P servers can usually be gotten for 250-300$ for the "lowend".Quote:

wow AMD is now another VIA
Ye, and take PCI, Parallel, ATA, Serial, PS2, Floppy etc with it. Its abit sad to see brand new boards with some 35-40 year old hangaround tech on it :p:Quote:

wishful dreaming! with that price policy Intel would effectively kill it Highend Yorkies, and that simply will not happen!Quote:

Intel wants to sell a new highend part. And it would be a Nehalem. Did Q9300 also instantly make Q6600 worthless? Oe QX6850 vs QX9650? In the end of the day Intel just cash in a new 1000$
