Aren't there any non-disclosure agreements for Penryn benches?
Shold I go with Yorkfield or stick wit Kentsfield (Q6600 ... I think B3 is more Overclokeble than G0,but G0 is cooler)
Intel Prices "Penryn" Xeons! there's more in the link than what I posted.

this stupid 1333fsb is starting to piss me off, and I don't even own one. With a P35 board you probably have to get the e5420 just to hit 3.7ghz

Those are socket 771 Xeons, Harpertown.Quote:

As for it being 771, it's probably a fair indication of around where the similar desktop chips will be priced, although there will probably be less options. Perhaps just 9x/10x-EE to start, then 8x edition later?
According to what I've seen 9.5 is the top multi for the xeons
3160/12mb/1333
To play with the xeons the DDR2-800FBDimms will be needed and they havn't been released widely yet..Just 667's so far and those on most boards get limited to 360..
Something I just noticed with the pricing:
X5460 3.16 GHz 120W 12MB $1,172
E5450 3.00 GHz 80W 12MB..... $851
Those prices are per chip, so times 2 and you have $2344.00 a pair for the 3160's and $1702.00 for the 3000's
$642.00 difference between them.
You could almost build 2-3000's for the price of one 3160..
A board is $450.00..Ram is $360.00,PSU is $160-$200.00
Damned close and much more output.
Take another step down to 2830 and you definately can build 2 for the price of one while only losing 330mhz..
E5450 3.00 GHz 80W 12MB $851Quote:

Those aint Yorkfield but Harpertowns.Quote:

2.33 = ~$260 (launching later)
Remember though, there is supposed to be only 2 yorkfields at launch, and I think if there are more models they will be released later (Q1?) I understand the ES around are 3.33 and 2.33, but I seriously doubt they'll launch a low-end part so soon and with such a gap in-between the two. You know how it goes...milk the high-end, and dribble out the cheaper parts as time goes on. If there is 2.66/2.33 parts, I bet we see them later on ala the Q6600 to the QX6700. If there is a 2.33ghz part (see super cheap yorkfield) that soon...well that's just plain awesome. :)
NO there wont just be 2 yorkfields at launch. Thats 1 or 2 certain idiotic "tech"sites that claimed that based on 2 ES samples. And 3.33Ghz is 999$ again.
Just like ALL clovertowns and woodcrests are replaced with Hapertowns and wolfdale-DPs.
65nm will dump down as 4000 series and below.
And this is selfconflicting too:
530$ 2.66Ghz 65nm vs 450$ 2.66ghz 45nm?Quote:
Q6700 and up fills gap...
2.66ghz yorkfield = ~$450
Singlesocket prices will be significant lower than dual socket prices.
OK, thanks!Quote:

12MB cache, those are definitely Penryns! Nice find!Quote:

Let's hope yorkfield XE launch at christmas is true.
Intel prepares boxed quad-core "Penryn" based Xeon processors for November 11
Intel has set the launch date for its Penryn based quad-core Xeon processor family. The company intends to launch seven new Harpertown based models ranging from 2.0-to-3.16 GHz on November 11, according to a posting on Intel’s reseller webpage. Standard “E” bin and performance “X” bin processors launch on November 11.
Intel Xeon processors carrying the “E” designation feature 80-watt TDP ratings while the “X” bin processors have higher 120-watt TDP ratings. Intel does not plan to launch the low-power “L” models until Q1’08, with two models in the pipeline.
Strangely, Intel never issued a formal announcement for the launch of Penryn nor has the November 11 date showed up on roadmaps. Instead, the launch date popped up on a public webpage for resellers.
Penryn Quad-Core Xeon DP
Model Core Frequency TDP L2 Cache Launch Price
X5460 3.16 GHz 120W 12MB $1,172
E5450 3.00 GHz 80W 12MB $851
E5440 2.83 GHz 80W 12M $690
E5430 2.66 GHz 80W 12MB $455

E5410 2.33 GHz 80W 12MB $256
E5405 2.00 GHz 80W 12MB $209
Pricing for Penryn-based Intel Xeon processors begin at $209 for the entry-level E5405 to $1,172 for the top-end X5460. Although Intel set the launch dates for quad-core Xeon based Penryn processors, the company remains silent on the launch date of the desktop and mobile counterparts.
Intel’s Penryn architecture is the next evolution of the Core 2 micro architecture that made its debut with Woodcrest and Conroe processors. Penryn introduces a 45nm fabrication process with a few additional performance enhancements. Most notably, Penryn introduces new SSE4 instructions for enhanced multimedia performance.

i think i might move to amd..
Im not buying outrageously prices ddr3 just to be able to run the fsb for high clocks. 1333 fsb can burn for all I care. People sit here and dog AMD all day, but to me they are the better company for the consumer. Better prices, good performance, and PLATFORM LONGETIVITY!
No penryn dual core is worth me trading up my 3.5ghz e6300 running under 1.35V
The real CPU battle will be Phenom and Nehalem architectures IMO.
That's not going to be a battle. That's called a "slaughter". Phenom is the same architecture as Barcelona, K10, that is to say, IPC on the order of 65nm C2D.Quote:

Johan of Anandtech says I still have a hard timing believing the halflife scores. What makes halflife so special that it accelerates 30% while most games show 10%? There is no SSE-4 in halflife. There is a 10% increase in memory performance, and about 15% higher SSE performance. That can not give a 30% gaming increase as games are hardly carefully optimized for SSE.
Charlie of INQ says I can't talk now other than to say believe it. Really. If anything, this [30% for HL2 same clock] underrepresents the improvements. More when I can.
Ooh
http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/hwdb.php?ti...iew&rid=837360
BTW, HKEPC says HL2 is square root heavy and Penryn's improved divider helps.
I'm still thinking the same. Why does half life 2 increases that much and other games are just 10%?Quote:

Not at all, just as some other apps are affected differently, so are some games. Some apps and games will have much better gains than others because they will benefit more from the improvements made to Penryn. Stuff not taking advantage will not.Quote:

i will pick up a E5410..
Yeah, if you're getting a server or workstation mobo.Quote:
