what's with the 300 & teletubbies stuff?
AMD better have their crap together w/ K10 b/c from the HKEPC link it is obvious that Intel is at the top of their game.
45nm FTW baby!
Looks legit.
So what are the real world benefits of Wolfsdale and Yorkfield? Besides the 45nm manuf. process and larger cache. Don't see any temp readings in those screens. They should run at lower vcore and give off less heat right?
edit: nevermind, found the hkepc link. :rolleyes:

Here's another one

results look pretty good, especially power and temps, 37 load is pretty damn amazing compared to a 49 load
edit:whoops, looks like someone else beat me to it
Load is the same as normal body temperature haha :D

Yeah, that looks great. Especially the games and power/temp results. :)

:yepp:
does yorkfioeld/wolf have different arch. or new instructions or somesuch vs kentsfield/c2d?
Larger cache, a few optimizations to the pipeline (but not enough to be called a true revision to the architecture), and SSE4 instructions (hence why encoding apps got huge boosts).
IIRC, On Anandtech there is also supposed to be a way on these 45nm chips managing the load on the cores so that one core gets clocked up if only that core is in use or something.
Could you show me a link of that? Didn't say that in the Anandtech article...Still, it would explain why the pi scores are pretty much the same as C2D's, despite pi's focus on bandwidth.
Personally, I thought this was pretty cool:

472 FSB ain't bad ta'll...and we're talking a MSI board here...
It's also within the decent strap, right? IIRC it changes at 490 or so?
Hmm. Perhaps the quad to get this time will be the 8x multi chip (X3330/Q????). :D

Not sure if it's still mobile only though it is precluded with some info on new mobile sleep state.
Does anyone know the pricing of Wolfdale/Yorkfield yet?
No, but it would be my guess that they will line up with their Xeon 771 Brethren, although there probably are less products:
X5460 3.16 GHz $1,172
E5450 3.00 GHz $851
E5440 2.83 GHz $690
E5430 2.66 GHz $455
E5420 2.50 GHz $316
E5410 2.33 GHz $256
E5405 2.xx GHz $209
If there is a 775 (x33x0 or whatever desktop Yorkfields are called) version of the E5430, I'm all over that. :)
8.5 multi for ~$300, yeah, that'd be yummy. I'd settle for an 8 though. :)
As for ETA, I think we're still looking at Q407 for EE, Q108 for wolfdale/yorkfield...Don't think they got more specific than that. I imagine we'll have to hear something coming out of IDF SF.
yeah, but you have to take in mind that's on only 1.08v, so 3.3ghz is pretty nice considering what temps you'll be getting compared to a current quad at 3.33ghz
I personally would just stick with the e5410 and use the money on a better mobo (I'm not a fan of half mults)
Oh, it definately is nice, but I doubt even with more volts the FSB will go much higher than that on regular cooling (I'm a simple water guy myself). So, to me, the only big question mark left is how high can the frequency scale, as it should be able to hit around the top FSB of the most decent strap. I figure around ~4ghz on avg (still waiting on someone that gets an ES with a higher multi than 7), so 8-8.5 multi would be the sweet spot, and considering the 8.5 is where the bang-for-buck ratio hits, and 8.5x471 = 4ghz...Yeah. Granted, if desktop (or X3300 series Xeons) only come in full multis, I think 8 is the way to go.
Granted, still waiting on more results, but these are encouraging and spawning thoughts of future upgrades. :)
woah Intel is working hard.. :) very good for us consumers.. :) better product..
hehehe hope the pricing is good like the one that we are experiencing today..
did they say that 45nm have high yields??
what I would like to see is how high dfi's x38 board will scale. If that thing can hit 600fsb out of the box (considering the quality of the board and the cooling the p35 board has, shouldn't be a problem), then even with an 8 mult you can hit nearly 5ghz. If we're lucky, with some patience and tweaking we'll be able to see a 700fsb board, but that may take a while
http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_...sHoltJun07.pdf erwinz, slide 20 shows that 45nm is trending as 65nm yieldwise and targeting 65nm's current yield rate.
that can only mean either amd has some huge guns in plan, or they're in deep :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
yup yup.. hope Amd will show some teeth.. hehehe I'm also waiting for quad core AMD.. :) I'm satisfied with my dual core conroe.. I'm not jumping at quad core, I want to see the both camps.. hope AMD can deliver to what they are saying.. :)
hey that is very nice news.. :) cheep processors again.. very nice.. :) I can't remember the time I this that we have so many options on a good processor.. and still on a budget.. :) (buy a budget processor and mild overclock it.. hehehe)
yup yup.. AMD should respond.. and fast.. :D
