It's like saying, the good news; I punched some jerk up-side the head and knocked him out(more sales while taking more market share). The bad news; But I also hurt my hand on his hard assed head (lower ASP). Now, isn't that better than having him knock you out?Quote:

Last things first, the writer's view is thrown in and has nothing do with the news report or interview.Quote:
"We view [Nehalem] as the first dynamically scalable microarchitecture," Gelsinger said. What he means by that is that Intel chip designers will be able to pick and choose from a wide variety of ingredients to build chips for different types of computers, from powerful servers to small notebooks.
Chips based on Nehalem will have between one and eight cores, and will be capable of handling two independent software threads per core. Hyperthreading, Intel's name for the concept, allows a processor to execute two different code streams at pretty much the same time. This was a feature found in Intel's single-core Pentium 4 processors but largely discontinued with the advent of multicore chips. Note; Also found on certain XE models
Intel also plans to build chips with "point-to-point" links that directly connect processor cores with their neighbours, and install a fast link between the processor and memory with integrated memory controllers, Gelsinger said. Those were two design philosophies used by AMD to break into the server market with its Opteron chip in 2003. Intel has thus far disdained those approaches.
I might be missing it but I thought CSI is a Common Serial Interconnect or Common Scalable Interface. This replaces the FSB and Interconnections for Point to Point for everything but DMI--->Direct Media Interface To meet the device-to-memory bandwidth requirements of PCIe, SATA, USB 2.0, Intel HD Audio and others, a proprietary serial interface, based on PCIe, was developed, the DMI link. This link connects the ICH6-M and the GMCH. It offers 2 GB/s maximum bandwidth compared to 266 MB/available with the ICH4-M hub interface. The DMI integrates priority-based servicing to allow concurrent traffic and isochronous data transfer capabilities for Intel HD Audio.
Note; DMI is also called Direct Memory Interface.

So, it would be foolish for any of us to pretend we know which of those processors will ship with integrated anything, be they Graphics or Memory controllers. Like Timna, there are bound to be Mini Mac models that are fully integrated and Celeron models with nothing. IMHO, there might be as many as 24 models once integration or the amount there of is figured in.Quote:
Initial disclosures about the Nehalem revealed that some of the processors will have eight cores and should, of course, beat its predecessor's specs. More than 15 45-nm designs will be on offer (remember when the choices only comprised the Pentium and Celeron for the desktop and laptop?).
Sorry for the long assed post!
I'm guessing im right but 1333mhz cpu's = peryn?
The 6x50 series? No.Quote:

hrm, abit just added 1333mhz cpu support to my ab9 pro so i wonder which it is. only says 1333.Quote:

Yup, it seems a lot of folks are forgetting the 1333MHz FSB Conroes. If that's the only difference I'd just as soon stick with the 1066 and its slightly higher multiplier for overclocking.Quote:

150W (3GHz) and 120W (2.666GHz) go to 3.16GHz/120W/45nm.
80W quad go from 2.33GHz@65nm to 3GHz@45nm.
50W quad go from 1.86GHz@65nm to 2.66GHz@45nm.
65W dual goes from 2.66GHz@65nm to 3.33GHz@45nm
40W dual goes from 2.33GHz@65nm to 3.16GHz@45nm.
The 50W 2.66Ghz Quad looks very nice. I wish Intel would make these for the 3000 series too. Or maybe desktop aswell.
My goal is to be under the 65W today in my next build. I could settle for a 3.16Ghz dualcore too at 40W.
I also dont see any reason for them not being able to make a 3.16Ghz 80W quad using LV chips.
Slightly OT but I keep hearing rumors of a 120W 3330/12mb/1600 Harpertown.
That would be pretty close to the numbers I see here for TDP decreases.
My Clovers at 3157 draw 144W with 1.35V(coretemp) 1.3v reported in BIOS.
Agreed, 50W at 2660 would make a hell of a combo.Quote:

I'm doing a system now to try and offset some of that.
A dual sossaman(yonah) with 31w cpu's.
This was sort of lost as the C2D's appeared very shortly after it's launch but will be interesting to see output versus elec cost.
Can you spill more like you did about the WCG K10 anomaly? :D Yep, the 1600FSB part is missing officially but like the X5365 and Apple, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. BTW, How would 3.3GHz+1600FSB work? 400*8=3200, 400*8.5=3400. A 3.2GHz/1600FSB would fit right on top of the 3.16GHz/1333FSB.Quote:

One thing for sure is that it will be an interesting year and my elec bill will drop hopefully!:D
I hope my bill will be lower too, I'm dumping my big old CRT and getting a LCD. If Newegg didn't pull a fast one. I just missed the UPS Guy but he should be back soon.Quote:

Power cut almost in half for 3GHz QC part in the course of 6-9 months.
Impressive.
so is the entire lineup of penryn aiming for a Q1 08, or before..? I thought it was fallish.

Server has been late 2007.
http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=5117
Mobile has been early 2008.
http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=5119
Desktop has been flipping in between both, latest news suggesting 2007.
Intel will launch them when they feel they need to:)Quote:

Intel "Penryn" Xeon DP to start out at $177 and top out at $1,172.
No premium compared to Clovertown http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4981 ,very small premium for low wattage quad 45nm parts, no info on the 3.16GHz 40W dualie, launch of dualies in Q108. Also compare http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40606
