One year from now, thats like 2 years technology development.
and besides, good luck overclocking i5 to 4ghz+
I get a new videocard, before that which will enhance my fps more than any new cpu coming out the next 2 years.
;)
Unless amd pulls a rabbit out of the hat with their new p2
Thanks +2! When or if the NDA is lifted please fill us in.Quote:

There is no reason why i5 would use different memory voltage than i7. If i7 can't take x amount of volts, i5 can't take them.Quote:

Sure, I guess that happens only when I die :ROTF:
not correct!Quote:

The good thing with i5 is that'll bring true sucssesor to LGA775 platform... LGA13xx will stay only for server/WS market, and LGA1156 (previously LGA1160) will be the mainstream platform... current Bloomfield platform is death end for mainstream desktop just as Socket940 was for AMD... LGA 1156 is the way of the future for intel desktop users...
Thats not true...Quote:

maximises the appeal for multicard users thats for sure (1366)
pff Lindfield's integrated PCIe bridge support 8x/8x PEG 2.0 split and that's sufficient for CFX and SLI! (efectively that's same BW as with 16x/16x PEG1.1, and that's enough for CrossFire and SLi)...Quote:

First of all far from all Lynnfield CPUs support it. Secondly. Alot of mobo makers wont do 8/8 but just 16. And trichannel still wins alittle bit over dualchannel.Quote:

what are you saying, that some Lynnfields will not have PEG ctrl. with 16 PEG 2.0 lanes in it?Quote:

The P43 is just lacking the crossfire controller on the motherboard, not on the chip. The Chip is the same exact chip as the P45. Possibly lower binned tho.
so you're telling that Intel will be selling two kinds of Lynnfield - one capable of splitting the PEG lanes, and other restricted to 16x only?Quote:

and you think it makes sense to segmentation on the base of enabling / disabling PEG lanes splitting, and not other features, like HT on/off, turbo on/off... etc... is PEG ctr. so critical and complex part of the CPU that Intel needs to create differentiation in CPU lineup on the base of PEG capabilities... yeah right!Quote:

Segmentation should be done on the mobo. Otherwise it would be a complete messup. :/
Intel's smarter than this.
As if 1366 vs 1156 wasn't enough, now you got 1366 with or without SLi, and 1156 with or without SLi, or without MGPU. So no.
Sorry, but didnt AMD and NVIDIA use to "laserlock" parts of the GPUs, thus producing the low-performance mainstream parts (I cba to look up in which series they did it)?? What about Nvidia having special drivers with opengl overlay optimizations just for the Quadro series, when it works perfectly on the Geforce series? I bet there are more examples :P.Quote:

Apparently Intel Design and Development tools use the 'LGA1160' socket, now I'm not going to count those pins but still. Is this some outdated site, is Fuad stumbling again?
That's made by the mobo manufacturers , not Intel.:rolleyes:Quote:
