quick question:
Will the Santa Rosa chipset in notebooks that currently come with T7xxx be compatible with Penryn T8xxx series?
I.E can I just drop a penryn in my Santa Rosa notebook?

most likely yes, as long as your OEM provides a BIOS updateQuote:

They'll be able to load up inventories and supply large numbers of 45nm at launch, this will keep prices down as well. That is the real bad news for AMD who'll still have tight to limited supplies selling for small profit margins.
If AMD begins to stabilize by end of q3 08, then it will mean it'll recover fully by mid 2009, no sooner.Quote:

lol, what retard is gonna buy an e8500 when they can have an q9300
That's a lame view LOL!:ROTF: Everyone doesn't need Quad Cores and that's not a retarded view at all. Sure most of us want Quad. I put off G0 to get Penyrn Quad core later on.Quote:

The Timna like Fusion isn't meant to save AMD, its meant to save AMD some money. Fusion is meant to solidify AMD's Business desktop platforms, computers sold to Websurfers and other light uses. The money/market share in Servers and High-end workstations will absolutely go untouched by Fusion. So let's get that out of the way. SOC was always meant to be low investment (low risk)+ good returns (moderate returns on ASP) proposition nothing else. I don't think AMD is even close to betting the farm on Fusion.Quote:

Take a wild guess as to what percentage of the market that is.Quote:

With AMD hovering between 18 to 20% of all PC's sold, they're running 600+ million quarterly short falls, then they borrowed another almost 2 billion. AMD needs higher ASPs not another 2% of the market gained by running up more debt.Quote:

Intel had a large enough Money Army for a war of attrition, AMD doesn't. If AMD has their eggs in Fusion's basket to save them, they're in deep doo doo:D
Anyone have pricing for Harpertowns?
and yet better real release datums...
From the vr-zone link posted by red:
L5250 dual core Wolfdale, 3.16 GHz, 1333 FSB, 6 meg L2, 40 W TDP :eek:
Verrrrry nice. Surprised to see 3.4 GHz/1600 fsb wolfdale listed for nov launch?
Low voltage models. It has a $1k price matching it too! ;)Quote:

L5420, Harpertown (aka 4 cores), 2.5Ghz, 1333FSB, TDP 50W, 380$
Just brutal :eek:
Any indication on CPU temps except that one desktop comparison?
You got that right!Quote:

According to FUD and their sample, 46C idle for the 3GHz 1333FSB version.
4GHz Yorkfield Intel displayed were only phase change possible and even then not stable about two weeks back. So not much to go off.
46c. no way.
For the stock cooler air stuff idle was 36c with ambient around 78F
I was shocked to see the CPU cooler than the NB.
