differences between 965 and 975?

Intel P965 is heavy on the juice.

North Bridge 975X 945P P965
South Bridge ICH7 ICH7 ICH8
Bus Speed 1066MHz 1066MHz 1066MHz
Memory 667 x 2 667 x 2 ICH8
NB TDP 13.5W 15.2W 19W
SB TDP 3.3W 3.3W 4.1W
Total TDP 16.8W 18.5W 23.1W
----------------------------------------

No idea how this might effect its overclock but maybe something to consider.

I will remind you , when first reviews pop up :)

Anybody knows when will 965 based mobos will hit the market ?
Something tells me that`s gonna happen very soon and we`ll see a lot of comparative tests with 975 ones

I don't think Conroe and Kentsfield would benefit from that. because Ram-Performance is good enough, the FSB is the Bottleneck. and unless we have Dual-FSB or IMC this Problem won't be fixed.

just my 0,02$ ^^

the 965 is 0,09nm (975 is 0,13). might be Prescott Effect ^^ smaller structures, but more leakes and because of that more heat!
I think it's funny that the 965 actually has increased the tdp, while Intel pronounces that the Broadwater will make your system more quiet :D

ah, Poncho. what do you say about this article?
they used the Gigabyte P965-DQ6 with i965.
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/91..._pi/index.html

and compare it to "xxmartins" Benchmarks on Bad Axe... (they used DDR1066, xxmartin used DDR800 - okay, xxmartin had 4-4-4 timings on them)

what do we see?
SuperPi? exactly the same... 21 secs (and I thought Latency is very important for this one)
Sciencemark 2.0:
Molecular
P965 64,79 sec and Bad Axe 65,045 sec (which is damn near and should be due to benchmark-inaccuracy)
Primordia
P965 267 sec and Bad Axe 271,59 sec (3 secs difference... not a "significant amount" and might be due to inaccuracy as well)

to bad they didn't test Sandra Bandwith.

I think we will see more Benchies which will tell the same...

Let's way and see. Soon enough we're going to clear this out.
